FFVII is a thing of beauty on the PSP.

agreed

 

[imastalker co.]

but then it wouldn't be a remake but a port.

that's definitely a possibility. if it came to DS, it would definitely be something based on PSone FF7. if it came to Wii, it could be a brand new remake, or hell, Square could port Crisis Core to Wii and call it a day. PSP to Wii ports seem to be on every devs to do list right now.

why would it be on a Nintendo system, imastalker? So far pretty much every FFVII spin-off/addition (as well as the original) has been on a PlayStation system or format(Blu-Ray), save the cellphone games. Even the tech demo for FFVII was on PS3. It may happen in some twist, imastalker, but there's really nothing definitive at all out there that would remotely indicate it.

there's definitely no indication of Square-Enix doing any FF7 on a Nintendo system.

but tell me what you think amir0x. do you think will Square-Enix continue their old ways of putting the big names on the biggest user base?

by the time a FF7 remake is ready to roll out, sales wise, which system do you think will make most sense for Square-Enix to put the game on?

DS? Wii? PS3 + 360?

let's not forget to take each region into consideration. but if Square-Enix wants to pursue next-gen graphics, the 360 must be a part of the equation now. Sony isn't likely to get much more, if any exclusives from Square-Enix on the PS3, or PSP front.

if anything, they're just clearing out what was in development.

my thoughts atleast.

 

[dirtmonkey37]

What if the FFVII remake came to the 360 while all the FFXIII games came to the PS3....

That would prove interesting :lol

The interwebs would explode

 

[imastalker co.]

no chance in hell. if a next gen graphics FF7 came out, it would have to be on 360 and PS3. i doubt Sony or MS would want to pick up that tab.

 

[Vashu]

The interwebs would explode

The NeoGAF server would shut itself down, unhook itself, take the nearest bus to Alburquerque and from there on hitchike to a forest where a nice little cottage stands that only it knows about and disappear for at least 6 months. It would continue to do so, well until the world as we know it no longer exists due to the collapse of other slower boards infested by the inane and hopeless FFVII fanboys, since they had nowhere else to go to, who in their wake of destruction left a desolate and scarred mark along the surface of our planet.

You're getting distracted by your own thought process. You made a statement. That was "if any FF7 remakes go down, it'll be on a Nintendo system." So is this because of sales, then, that it'd be on a Nintendo system? Why isn't FFXIII announced for DS? There was well over a year where DS exploded, and SquareEnix saw the trend... enough so that they decided to bring DQIX to the system. So why not that game? To bring it back to focus, why would an FFVII remake "be on a Nintendo system [if it went down]"?

For money, right? But we've already established there are other considerations in there. FFT port, FFI+II Anniversary Edition... all should be on DS. They were announced well after the DS exploded. What situation is causing them to release the games on PSP? Even if it was just some behind-the-scenes negotiating with Sony, that enough established that there are other reasons for releasing a game on a system than just "higher userbase."

let's not forget to take each region into consideration. but if Square-Enix wants to pursue next-gen graphics, the 360 must be a part of the equation now. Sony isn't likely to get much more, if any exclusives from Square-Enix on the PS3, or PSP front.

if anything, they're just clearing out what was in development.

my thoughts atleast.

So now it's a 360 game? Make up your mind! You said it'd be on a Nintendo system, and to my knowledge that's a Microsoft system.

 

[dirtmonkey37]

Personally, I don't find it too odd.

All the FFXIII games coming to the PS3 and then to make some money on the side, Square will remake an old, no longer relevant title for a platform that they don't care much about...

If you look at it that way, it makes sense...

 

[DCharlie]

*sigh* just remake it for the DS.

It makes the most sense... SE have already converted the first 6 games, just use the FF3 engine and do it that way.

what would the sales be like? i'd imagine they'd be off the chart.

Seriously though - i wonder how paniced they are at SE right now? I guess it all depends how close FF13 is to being anywhere near done - i'd guess it's nowhere near yet. So perhaps that's why they aren't paniced? If they don't plan to ship FF13 until the back end of 2008, then the slow start of the PS3 would explain a lot.

 

[bud]

unreal

 

[Kenobi]

I don't see why FFVII couldn't come out on a handheld. I think it would be best that way, either on a PSP, DS, or even agb. Personally, I'd like it on the DS, but I'd be happy with the PSP as well...that seems to be the trend. Remakes are going to the handhelds, while the newer Final Fantasy games are going to the console systems.

FFVI came out not too long ago. Rejoice! FFVII remake is only inevitable.

Just fix the ****ing translation though.

 

[imastalker co.]

for it to hit a Nintendo system, it'll be because by the time that game is ready to roll out, the Nintendo domination will be in full effect.

sure, Sony is still getting exclusives, but if Square-Enix continues to stick to its old ways of supporting the market leader the most, how much longer do you think til they biggest IP are on Wii and DS only?

all the PSP exclusives don't really compare to the DS exclusives. you can bring up Crisis Core, but that's been in development well before anything even went down.

with the way things are going, Sony is gonna have to pony up to keep FFXIII exclusive.

having said all of that, i do think if a FF7 remake happens, it'll be on a Nintendo system, because of userbase alone. regardless of the stuff Square-Enix is doing for PSP right now, it doesn't compare to the support DS is getting.

it doesn't seem like you're thinking about the future.

 

[Kenobi]

...it doesn't seem like you're thinking about the future.

"What are you talking about? The future? This is the past..."

 

[Andonuts]

guys I hear squeenix is porting final fantasy 1-9 to the PSP in the next two years.

would probably be really easy ports.

im gonna assume that Square-Enix will continue their ways of supporting the market leader once the dust settles.

 

[Sandman7]

I've always been curious - what is the relationship between Sony and SE? I have heard Sony has some non-voting stock in SE and that they pumped money into them after the FF:SW fiasco but SE acts like an independent company for the most part.

You answered it yourself. They have 8% non-voting stock in SquareEnix. That's non-voting stock, so SE acts like an independent company because they are

 

[Ikael]

Final Fantasy 7 remake is just as real as the Final Fantasy VIII remake on PS2. Seriously people there will be no remake, just stop this now!

You base your supposition because of "since it has happened on the past things will keep happening on this way". However, things doesn't work like this, they just follow one guidance: money.

The only question that you must aks is not "have it happened on the past?" but rather "would such a thing give money?". A main dragon quest on a portable never happened before. Yet it happened because it made sense from a financial point of view, history be dammed. Same thing will happen with the ffVII remake. Hordes of fanboys would flock to buy it, not to mention that the main 3 players will offer massive moneyhats in order to gain the exclusivity of such a title.

It will happen, and it will probably appear on a Sony platafform since it is damn clear from where its fanbase came from. However, I can really see more ff remakes on Nintendo platafforms, specially from the ff that were born in the Nes or Super Nes. A ff6 remake for the Wii would own and make more sense than a ff7 remake for the Wii.

 

[Y2Kev]

Merge the thread with "PSP sales thread" and "Need some penis" for a giant ball of suck.

 

[Aisenherz]

If: FF7 Remake

then:

PS3

 

[Gilgamesh]

Hell I'd be happy if they just took Final Fantasy X's engine and slapped the game into that.

Then you could ignore the plot hole ridden story and it'd at least be fun to play.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

The remake will happen. It's just a question of when.

 

[JzeroT1437]

What would be the point? When Chronicles, Anthology, Origins, and Three were released, it was because they weren't available to mainstream gamers, nor available for play on modern gen systems. The PS3 can play FFVII--it's just a matter of getting SE to resell the GH version of the game.

Besides, the only thing they'd update would be the graphics, and the new emo-looking Cloud is ass. I'll stick with the jaggy polygon Cloud from the original.

A DS port would seem feasible though.

 

[lordfroakie]

:lol Square-Enix could always remake that Final Fantasy 7 64 game, that was suppose to be a sequal to FF 6.

I want Final Fantasy VII to be remade on PSone.

I want a PSP port, with korean voice acting added.

Other than that....NO BUY.

I'd buy three copies.

[cartman414]

well, i certainly don't think so. I've played games since the NES days as a kid, and the first time i was actually sucked into one was FF7. Yes, i've played chrono trigger and yes, i've played FF6 and yes, i failed to complete them both cuz i got bored quick. FF7 was THE game that held my attention for 70 hours, so it holds a special place in my heart.

Really? Sounds as if you weren't in the right frame of mind to enjoy FF6 and Chrono Trigger then. Both games IMO are leagues ahead of FF7.

FFVI came out not too long ago. Rejoice! FFVII remake is only inevitable.

FFVI for the Advance was more of an enhanced port. If FFVII gets a full-on remake, Square-Enix owes me as far as I'm concerned.

 

[speedpop]

I agree. Something to the extent of FFIII NES > FFIII DS.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

FFVI for the Advance was more of an enhanced port. If FFVII gets a full-on remake, Square-Enix owes me as far as I'm concerned.

Exactly, if FF7 get's a remake treatment do the same with FF6, Vagrant Story, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Seiken Densetsu 4.

 

[cartman414]

I'm assuming that's what you meant.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

I'm assuming that's what you meant.

Yeah, pretty much.

I forgot that 3 was the best, and never release in our shores.

 

[WickedLaharl]

xenogears, now that's a game that could use a remake

 

[runnin_blue]

Forget about FFVII, remake Vagrant Story instead.

 

[Tsietisin]

I reckon it will happen, as it is the reason that FFVII is not on the compatability list for the PS3. </conspiricy>

 

[hobbitx]

xenogears, now that's a game that could use a remake

Agreed, but no trendy makeovers please though, just update the graphics. Guilty Gear/FotNS quality sprites with PS3 rendered backgrounds. *drools*

 

[mr_nexus]

xenogears, now that's a game that could use a remake

That would be great. Sadly, it's as likely as a Chrono Trigger new sequel.
