They aren't making a new engine for FFVII, they have Cyberconnect doing grunt work, they don't have to write a new story and build a new world and they are doing episodic releases. 2017 sounds pretty reasonable for Part 1.
Also FFXV started development in 2012, rebooting the development of Versus pretty much from scratch, 4-5 years for a huge openworld RPG is pretty normal these days. If I remember correctly FFVII started development in mid 2014, so a late 2017 release would mean 3 and a half years for part 1.

Could they not put a certain amount of games on a single vita card then include download codes for the rest? That's what they did with sly cooper collection on vita.

I wonder what versions of V and VI that collection would include.

The rumor says you can play the newest versions of I-VI, or the original NES and SNES versions.
Who says it'd be $60? They could sell it for $90 and then release the games on PSN later for $10 each.

that would be amazing if all these came out next year, especially FFVII: Part 1

It seems like a pipe dream, but this isn't the first time that I've heard that SE want to release all previous FF games for the PS4, and there was a little bit in the FFIX PC release which mentioned a Vita port. Although the whole collection being on a single cart is a little dubious.
I hope it's true. I'd buy everything on that list. Yes, including the XIII trilogy.

FF7:R Episode 1 launching in 2017 sounds extraordinarily unlikely.

All these rumors sound insane and impossible but if they're true, sign me up. I would even welcome the XIII trilogy on PS4. I enjoyed the first two and have been meaning to play them again and I've never finished Lightning Returns.
But as long as I get XII, I'll be happy.

I just remember (though I could be misremembering) someone from Square saying a PC port wouldn't be possible due to the nature of the engine and that's why a PC version wasn't available at launch
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it come
to the PC

The only reason a PC version isn't available at launch is marketing wise. The engine runs on PC first and foremost and is meant for DX11.
And no, it's not the same as "all games are developped on PC". It's more like "This game is developped FOR high end PC".
The best version of tactics is 1.3 and it's on PC.
Game was made with high end PC assets then had to be scaled down.

What do you think they've been doing for the last three years if they haven't worked out how combat will work?
Please be sarcasm, especially since we saw gameplay prototype last year

the game director seems to think otherwise

assets aren't platform exclusive, or even indicative of the lead platform

I wish people would stop using this as an example. That game went through development hell, with the whole project essentially being canned and rebooted a few years ago, not to the mention alongside the development of a new engine.
FFVII Remake is being outsourced and developed in Unreal Engine 4. It will not go through the same trouble as FFXV unless CC2 is grossly incompetent.
No.

There is a reason that it sounds too good to be true..........
I would just go ahead and play it.

We have no clue when the PC version is dropping. And it'll most likely be full price.
XIII PC is 60fps, right? Or is it capped at 30 because of the game code like with FFX?
It was made with dx11 on PC, the port is 100 percent coming and even with the DLC stuff I'm still betting on end of the year 2017.

If you bought it, might as well play it since this rumor isn't accurate.
The game won't be out next year so having buyers remorse is weird
HOW DID I MISS THIS?
Now that (even if this is a rumor, let's just say that this is true) we got Final Fantasy for the 1 millionth time, is it time for the Ogre franchise ports on current-gen hardware?
Who am I kidding. lol.

FF7R has been in development for at least 2 and a half years. TellTale's schedule is way shorter than this.

That's the thing. I'm probably not going to play it until at least mid-2017. I only got it because I had so much in-store credit that they gave it to me for free!
The rumour has PC at early to mid 2018 though.

SE already released an FF1-to-13 compilation before. It cost over $350.
It was a "limited edition" type of thing though and wasn't a single disc.

Not that think that it will actually happen, but in theory this is possible - right?
I mean all the older FF games already have gamepad supporting PC versions in steam.
So porting them over should be relatively easy.
FF7 remake is not even a funny topic anymore, so god knows, but lets assume for a second that it is a standalone project and has dedicated resources so just maybe it happens to finish in 2017. Also they only talk about 1st episode, so maybe its 2-3 hour story segment of the final thing.

FFT on steam is not weird, considering it is one of the best Final Fantasy games ever made. It's been too long in the wait (imo).
However, this overall rumor reeks of BS.

I would buy them all, honestly.
I always expected some kind of compilation for the 30th anniversary and they even released this video: http://youtu.be/ZnCEhPOuwgU a few months ago.
Anyway, I'm definitely expecting Dissidia on PS4. And maybe FF7R part 1.

As if square would do a new port of all these and then release them in a single package when they've perfectly content selling the mobile ports piece by piece.
Toghether with all the other stuff, i really doubt this rumor is true.
Why would it be weird? Square Enix clearly loves Steam and they already have a bunch of Final Fantasy games on Steam.

That Anniversary collection sounds nice, but too good to be true...
Also, where the hell is Dissidia? Lol
