From Gamefront:

Nomura stated in an interview with Famitsu that five projects which he's currently working on will be out this year :

- Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix + (PS2)
- Subarashiki Kono Sekai: It's Wonderful World (NDS)
- Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP)
- Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete (Blu-ray Disc/Film)
- To be announced title

So there's still an unannounced project (which doesn't appear to be FFXIII) which he underlined will be out this year.


In other news Square Enix vice president Shinjii Hashimoto said (always on Famitsu) that this year is the 20th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series and PSP users should be pleased about this.Wether this means that more games are coming or he's just talking about the Anniversary Edition of FF1&2 is unclear.

Myabe our japanese GAF friends could add more details ;)
 
Nomura said the 5th title would lose its meaning if it doesn't come out this year.
Also, I'm predicting ports of VII, VIII and IX for PSP, personally. Maybe with redone CG for VII since it looks like ass compared to VIII and IX.
 
He's actually a lot more positive in the article. He's like "We (Square-Enix) PROMISE to make 2007 a GREAT YEAR for PSP owners". Though maybe CC is just amazingly good and that's what he means.
 
They are going crazy about these two interviews on 2ch. Sorta wish someone would've made a weekly Japanese news topic. The scans:

He talks about the FF anniversaries for FF, FFVII, & FFIX as well right?
 
Why would they celebrate the 20th Anniversary on the PSP? Good news for PSP owners I guess, if the rest of the games aren't like FF1&2P.

If both these posts are true, I'm seriously expecting a FFVII remake for PSP this year.
 
What kind of a game is Crisis Core anyway

I hear people drooling over it occasionally but other than the fact that it's apparently been in development for as long as the PSP's been out I know nothing about it

Personally I think Nomura is talking about FFVII Remake for PS3 (10th anniversary) and Hashimoto is just boasting PR so people will by FFI & II again on PSP (since he does not mention anything about new games AFAICT).

The unannounced game is probably another portable KH game.

I don't see why it would HAVE to come out in 2007 then.

Wouldn't surprise me after all the demand. Though development time for any full remake coming out this year and not revealed yet is certainly troubling, I hope it's not a port. :\

^^^ I'm telling you, guys.

Didn't they say they're gonna announce something in April? well when it happens I can say I called it.

It was a half-joke guess, but eh, you never know. :P

He does talk about it in the interview so it wouldn't be surprising, I thought FFIX was celebrating it's 5th anniversary but that already passed. The question is what platform will it be on? Given all the rumors lately it could be any of the big systems, more likely on the Wii or PSP or both.

Didn't Shane say on the last 1up show that there was one more big FF game in the works for PSP this year, and that it would really excite fans?
 
It's gonna have to be something great for the PSP, then. Port #4 or 5 of FFI and FFII certainly don't make my PSP look any more worthwhile, considering they're sitting 3 feet from me in my living room as FF: Origins.

Crisis Core looks good, just wish I cared about VII more. Didn't really get into the story all that much.
 
It's more than likely a PSP remake of VII. I think it would take a lot more time to remake VII on the PS3, than on the PSP.

I do have to wonder, though. The Famicom was the first system to get the Final Fantasy series. Could that mean the DS will also get some new FF stuff?

We can only hope! :lol
 
I just remembered, didn't the KH video from TGS say that something new was coming in 2007?

Noruma has nothing to do with einhander so it can't be that.

Crisis Core and FFVIIr on the PSP... in the same year? No way.

That's true, they would either cannibalise each others sales or... or people would buy them both. Kingdom Hearts spinoff maybe? Seems like they'd be working on a PS3 version.

didnt he als mention nintendo firstparty developer Retro Studios will develop a 360 RPG

and didnt he mention a Brand new IP for PS3 that will make us want a PS3..

didnt he mention that 70% of the games we want will be exclusive on PS3..?
 
Shinji Hashimoto said that its the 20st Anniversary of the FF and the PSP users can be happy about it.. nothing indicates that he is meaning any new titles..

PSP is getting
FF I remake
FF II remake
FF T remake
and FF7CC


Nomura Tetsuya said that he will release 5 titles this year.. and that he will announce a new Kingdom Hearts Project

FF7 AC
Its a Wonderful World
FF7 CC
KH 2 : Final Mix
unannounced Project

I think GAF is ready for another meltdown.

My guess is FFVIIr PSP

The reaction would be hilarious if true (DQ9 levels), but personally I rather see FF7 put to rest after Crisis Core (FOR ****ING GOOD) !!


Most likely, this unannounced Nomura project is Kingdom Hearts Portable (this shit has been rumored for like forever).
 
maybe the unannouced title is something for wii ... i eman beside of dqs there isn`t much se software in the pipeline... ff:cc maybe won`t even come this year...
 
Hero said:
I doubt even FFVII remake could save PSP at this point, but whatever, it might be fun.

Why does it need saving?

The DS may have outsold the PSP 2:1

And very few PSP games make the Top Twenty in sales.

But hardware sales of 15 - 20 million globally is very respectable.

The hardware must be pretty profitable now. It has just entered it's 3rd year and should outsell what the Xbox and GC managed to achieve in terms of lifetime sales this year.

The statement you made would be like saying the Xbox was on life support the year Halo 2 was released.
