Can't see the anniversary collection happening. All those games when SE could release them solo and charge more?
Not only that, VII already got an individual release....

The more I think about it, the less sense this rumor makes. Why would they release two huge remasters (XII and XIII) in the same year as a remake AND a collection? People will be fatigued.
They should stagger XIII's release to 2018.

I'd like a Dirge of Cerebrus and a Bouncer remaster tbh.....

Why? It's been in development since 2014, has aspects outsourced by groups solely dedicated to certain parts (so no bottle-necking, in theory), it's being broken into parts, and is using an extremely dev-friendly engine.
That said, I still think these rumors are hot air and I stick with my prediction of the first part of FFVII:RE releasing in 2018. A playable demo to commemorate the 20 Year Anniversary of VII seems more likely.
I think S-E will have some fun releases/announcements for us next year, but a collection with nine games for one price? Maybe it'll be some limited edition thing with an astronomical price, but S-E missing out on an opportunity to sell all of these (or at least break them up into generational trilogies) for $20-$30 a pop would seem uncharacteristically charitable for them.
I'd love to be wrong and all of these things happen, but yeah... I remain skeptical.

Yeah, right. I'll be amazed if they can get XII HD in a timely manner. This is SE after all.
Why? None of us know when it started or how many resources have been devoted to it and at what frequency.

It's nonsense. Even moreso if it's including the mobile versions of FVII-IX, which aren't small games. There's no way they'll come on a Vita game card which maxes out at 4GB, and Squarenix have already shown themselves quick to avoid paying for pricier game cards. FFX required a separate download of FFX-2 on Vita, and World of Final Fantasy didn't include voices on-card.
Maybe if it had a limited print run with a high price point (say, $300), but that doesn't really seem like a product designed for everyone to celebrate the anniversary.

I bet that games done and sitting on a shelf already. It's just positioning at this point. They're not gonna release it against FF15 or the DQ8 remake (which is January).

I'd be grateful for that collection. I only have 7 HD.

SE's CEO or at least one of the higher ups has stated that they want their old games to be available to as many people that have never gotten to play them as possible as long as it made sense for them. They wanted as many games possible to be available on PS4, Steam and mobile where they've done quite good. They didn't bring up the Switch at all in the last financial briefing as well IIRC. Unless Switch sells more than XB1 really quickly expect only 2016+ games on it.
By QoL I hope you mean speed up time and no random battles because the cheats can die. I can't believe they trivialized 7 and 9 like that.

Ff7 remake is the next mainline.
Weird that square is outsourcing a mainline final fantasy then...
16 will come within five years I bet.

Not weirder than Assassin Creed games having multiple studios involved for each to get them out quickly and build their worlds.
Ehh, mainline games don't get outsourced to CyberConnect2 and other studios. It's a massive project, possibly 'on-par' with a mainline title in terms of budget and importance (and with even larger scale), but I don't think S-E consider in mainline or plan on delaying FFXVI until the Remake is complete.
Ubisoft is not Square-Enix. S-E has, as far as I know, never outsourced a mainline FF. They have nothing to do with each other.

Not a good sign if Switch can't even get games that were originally on NES/SNES.

They outsourced large parts of XIV 1.0 and XV already.
And look how that ended up..

That Crystal Complete Edition sounds insane if true.
FF7R on PC before FF XV??
A remake, a remaster, KH 2.8 all within the same year? A lot of these rumors sound far fetched haha. Sounds like bs.

Yeah, I never used those in 7. Just a resolution bump and speed tweaks is all I need.
And it isn't like I can't achieve the equivalent cheats in the original 8 with some educated junctioning anyway.
The funny thing is the market is there on PS4 right now and there're, we're, hungry. If all the rumors are true, I'd buy all of it day one.
Gackt's fault >:/
I think the party leaving Junon on the boat or some time around there is a more realistic end point, but Midgar makes sense for one game.
Imagine if the cutaway for the credit roll was the Midgar Zolom scene?
Please, its 20'16, Midgardsormr not "Zolom"
Believe it
What VGLeaks left out was that this collection will be bundled into the 30th anniversary collection. Remember the 25th anniversary collection? The $500 one? Yeah. This plus more.
Start saving now, cause preorders will be fun

This is some lame bullshit. Aren't Vita cards 4gb? FF7 is around 1.2gb, FF8 around 1.8gb. Add on FF9 and where's the room for the rest of those games on a Vita cart?

Guess I'll ask this again but what has VGLeaks been right about in the past?
What's more curious is why does Vita even need the collection in the first place? You can already play all of these games on vita. Only FF7 can be played on PS4.

Has Kagari heard anything about any of this? She has sources at Square.

Probably either laughing her head off at the rumors or staying FAR AWAY from this thread cause she knows something.
Or she just doesn't care because there is no hard evidence unless it's announced. Either way it's up in the air for now.
Still really want the collection and XIII trilogy even though I JUST bought all three of them during Black Friday...

I just surprised the leaks said nothing about WoFF on PC

9 FF games on a Vita cartridge?
Looking forward to that $500 pricetag

From what I saw of the thread, she pointed out that VGLeaks incorrectly leaked that Sam would be the focus of Uncharted 4's DLC.
She noted the site's bad track record on page one.
Anything that adds options for the player is good imo. It's like having an easy mode, and it's optional.
The only one I used was the speed one. I don't think I could ever play the game without it now. I'd love to have that for VIII and IX on my PS4.

dirge of cerberus was awful though why would anyone want that

I'd be really surprised if this were the case. 2017 is fairly obviously going to be KH3's year as far as Square-Enix Japan is concerned (plus FFXV DLC, and a bunch of teamsters). As far as formerly-Eidos Square-Enix is concerned, I'm thinking Deus Ex DLC and maybe a new Tomb Raider or Thief (or maybe they'll skip 2017).
