PC is pretty much irrelevant to the discussion.
90% of that list is remakes of older games YEARS and YEARS after the fact, some of which appear on handhelds, which are quite separate from consoles.

I'm pretty sure when people talk about wanting a game multi-platform they don't really give a damn about PC, especially considering this board, aka more like multi-console to be specific.

Ohh, thanks. I had no idea.
Is this just for GBA?
I'm dying to replay FF6, but I wanted a better update, not just a port.
I haven't bought a GBA game since Tony Hawk 2 at launch, haha.
I want a DS version or a full upgrade

Final Fantasy 13 on PS3 with gameplay that looks as good as this
asking too much? maybe not. PS3 games should be capable of this in 2007-2008

No FFXIII news before FFXII is out.
And Crisis Core FF7 will be first. So maybe some FFXIII news 2007 but not yet.

Should look better than this
This tech demo was made in four months so yeah they should be able to deliver a great looking game
Like somebody said before Square showed Final Fantasy X before FFIX's release, I am sure we will get some FFXIII info this year.

That was when FF was in the hands of a developer that could get it out on time. News probably already would've been announced had if FF12 had been on schedule.

Don't worry, Wada said they would announce if FF and DQ will go multiplatform or not at E3 2006. With that I am sure they will tell us more about the game

Didn't he just say they by E3 they'd know whether or not they'd do it, not that they'd announce it there? Recently Nomura said there are going to be no big announcements from Square for all of this year.

No, I think they already know if they want to make the series multiplatform or not right now. The R&D takes a lot of time and they have to deliver the game by mid 2007 otherwise the fans will go nuts. The production for the game should be well underway by now and lets just say that PS3 is the lead platform. So they continue development until E3 and then decide to put it on X360 as well, the team will have to scramble and port the game to 360, that would lead to a delay/rushed port.

There's already a FF in development for the PS3, it has been since the demo was released according ot Kitase. But he won't say whether or not its FF13.

granted, it's a significant (but not massive) step up from first-generation Xbox 360 games we've been seeing.
FF13 would probably be a 2nd gen PS3 game. so who knows.

I'm interested in whether or not they can match that demo. When he talked about the demo, he said if they had more time they could've made it look even better, but he's also said that developing a full game of that quality would take huge team and several years. Just due to all the FF's now being one of the best looking games when its released, that quality is what you'd expect from a game likely releasing in 2007. Going too far below it would mean that several games should top it.

That depends on a number of things: if the game is multiplatform or not, if it is then they will set the bar low so to make it easier to port it from one console to another.
It depends on the PS3 dev tools and how easy it is to exploit the system. So far many developers have said that it will take at least 3 years just to exploit Cell.
It depends on the budget. If its a super high budget game then they should be able to deliver kick ass graphics
and finally it depends on the capability of the programmer. The main programmer behind the FF7 tech demo is the same guy who was the lead programmer for FFX which looked alright.
At the end of the day, Final Fantasy is important to Square so I think they will exceed what they showed in the demo.
I fully expect final fantasy 13 to debut in the next year, despite 12 not being out stateside until late summer at the earliest. I Also fully expect that a new final fantasy game , be it a remake of 7 or FF13 will be out before the end of the year in 2007. With another one to follow by 2009 and again by 2011.
FF12 is an oddity becuase it's taken 2 times the development that any previous game in the series outside of FF7 has.

There shouldn't be a port of FF7 anywhere. It doesn't look even remotely good now, and that goes for its famous CG too.

No, FFXIII will be finished much faster. Matsuno couldn't handle a big game like FF, his team screwed up and that's why XII was delayed.

I don't think they count pre-production time anyway, so yeah, FFXIII Project: 2005-2007

I was under the impression that Matsuno got food poisoning and became very ill?

My Arms Your Hearse said:
Nobody knows what happened to him but my guess is that he cracked under too much pressure. FFXII clearly wasn't anywhere near being finished in 2003 and the top management officials and the top board officials probably started threatening him or something.
Matsuno made small time games like FFT and Vagrant Story, handing off a major project like Final Fantasy XII to his team probably wasn't a good idea.
Solid said:
I don't think you understand Matsuno. That guy gets into the game he's making... I mean really, really fucking gets into it. I haven't read any interviews about him, nor any articles... with his games, you can just tell. I think he's more of a hands on director than anyone else at Square, and he doesn't half ass his job... just look at the level of detail you find in his games. I think it wasn't that he couldn't handle the job, I bet it was more like the job was sucking the living life force out of the guy... that or the stress from the higher ups. I hope he's ok, I really wish he could get back onto FFXII.

I doubt the real story about FFXII's production woes will ever come out- at least not from anyone still employed by Square-Enix.
Just release it and be done with it- which is probably how Square feels about the whole thing.

Has anything else been said about Matsuno? The implication seem to have been that whatever problems he had, for whatever reasons the worst was behind him, but nothing more seems to have been said about what he's currently up to (although I believe he still acts as an overall consultant to FXII).

ronito said:
As has been pointing out, it's not unusual for Square to have multiple FFs announced at one time.
Plus it's entirely different teams doing FFXII and FFXIII, the development of one isn't affecting the development of the other.
He hasn't done anything since FFX-2 have he? And that was what, 2003? So theorectially he could have been working on this for a long time already.

I think he made FFVII: DoC :lol But then again maybe he was just directing the cutscenes in it. Even if he did head the game it doesn't really detract from his rpg record since it's almost a fact that Japanese developers aren't really good at making FPS (even if it is from 3rd person DoC is a wannabe FPS) games.

As far as I know, Kitase hasn't had a deep involvement in the full-process of a FF since FFX. Sure, he's acted as producer/exec.producer for FFX-2, KH1 and 2, and the FFVII Compilation projects, but nothing real hands on from him since FFX's production, from what I understand.
What I wanna know is if Nojima will return for scenario design of FFXIII. From what I recall, he went 'freelance/independent' not long after FFX- much like what Uematsu has done. I'd think Kitase could convince both to return for FFXIII, but you just never know.
