So this thread isn't actually about FF7R, but is in fact a thinly disguised PS3 hate thread, yes? I just wanted to make sure I got that right.

FFVII will never come to a Nintendo system.

I think you're missing the point of most of the comments. People are speculating as to WHY it hasn't been made official for the PS3 yet.
Others systems are just a part of that.

After 10 years of embarrassment the Big N fans need something other than GameBoy Color to hang their hats on.
...unfortunately it just has to happen in every single thread without BioShock in the title.

Nah, I know you're saying that to be inflammatory to the Wii kids derailing the thread, but it's unlikely that it would make the PS3 surpass the Wii. It would, however, help make the PS3 fairly successful in Japan (which is possible without being the #1 console, y'know).Brandon F said:

I think the situation is incredibly different this time around. There's no bad blood between Sony and Square like there was between Nintendo and third parties. I don't think the PS3 sell poorly enough to weaken sales of the game significantly if at all.
Besides, the creative visions of the men responsible for FFVII are incompatible with any current Nintendo system.

Nomura said several times he wanted to remake FFVII, but he also made it very clear that he couldn't do yet for his team was quite busy. FFvXIII is Nomura's huge project at the moment, and KH3 will be his next. It's possible that he might remake the game after KH3, mainly because he already stated that after Versus, he wants to stick with his KH franchise and remakes only.
So yes, a FFVII remake will exist. The question is, like someone already mentioned, when? Not anytime soon however, based on both SE's and Nomura's statements. And it will not be made by the team that made the FFVII Tech Demo neither (the main FFXIII's team).

Yeah well considering FFVII was a technical marvel for its time I would think most fans would want a better version not an inferior one. I absolutely love FF but if they do the remake on the DS I think I speak for most when I say I will be extremely disappointed. I rather it be a Next Gen Experience not a quick way to make some extra cash. If anything I blame Enix for the all the shananigans happening with the company.Hcoregamer00 said:

I think a lot of people are forgetting another key element to a FFVII Remake:
Yoshinori Kitase loves new tech. So does Nomura.
If Kitase's involved in a FFVII Remake, he'll pull for PS3/360- mostly likely PS3 first, because Square is now sitting on a very expensive White Engine that they need to utilize. I know Sony haters do not want to hear this, but only using this engine for three games (assuming Kingdom Hearts III also uses it) isn't enough to justify it's creation. I'd imagine Sony Edge being introduced into the S-E offices last April has also been a huge help.
Of course, at the end of the day Kitase is under the employment of Yoichi Wada and the rest of the Square-Enix big wigs, so they could force the remake to inferior hardware. Money might talk and get Kitase to reluctantly go through with it, or it may be the very straw that forces him to finally defect and join his pal The Gooch @ Mistwalker.
Either way, I don't see the long-awaited FFVII Remake going to DS, PSP, or Wii without a fight from the two most important individuals still left on the Square side of the company.
Maybe the assumption is that by 2011, after FFXIII and vsXIII come out, PS3 will actually be turning a profit, the White Engine will be not only mastered but expanded upon, and the time will be right to spring the Remake as the close of the generation approaches?
I really just care about FFXIII right now, to be honest. TGS better bring the fucking goods to the forefront!

I agree, this is the most likely senario.

RurouniZel said:
Exactly.
FFVII was not officially announced and it was a tech demo.
Do you honestly think that speculating about a non-existent product, only to label it exclusive to a platform wont cause some form of contention?
This is SquareEnix we are talking about, the chances of it going on PS3 are just as good as it going to XBOX 360, PS2, PSP, DS, PC, or Wii. The problem is that we are speculating about a product that doesn't exist which means this whole thread is speculation, rumor mongering, and false hopes.
PistolGrip said:
Okay, so if they use graphics as a benchmark then what would take out the possibility of FF7 remake for the XBOX 360 or the PC? How about a console fan's worse nightmare and they go Mutiplatform for a remake?
Since we are talking about potential userbase, the biggest one is combining the PS3, XBOX 360, and PC userbase. They would be "worthy" of a remake and they would present the optimum financial opportunities.
I just don't understand this. Why do people think Square has to help the PS3. Sony doesn't how S-E. And S-E doesn't give a shit of what will happen to Sony if they flop. They just want to sell their game (FF XIII) as it has already been announced for the platform.badcrumble said:
Looking at the situation Sony is right now S-E sure won't take the risk to remake FF XIII on the PS3. They don't care about potentially being able to revive the platform. It's just too risky. The PS3 is not S-E's console.They are independant and have no obligation to help SCE.

I said it previously, if they want pretty graphics and make lots of money the smart thing would be to go mutiplatform.

Yes, I would rather it be Next Gen Multiple platform a million times more than it be a Wii or a DS title. Of course single platform means quality would be higher since they work on the strengths of the system. I for one do not want a 9 disk RPG ;PHcoregamer00 said:
Xzbeat said:
Considering that Square Enix already has two high profile and very expensive games coming for the PS3, you really think the company is as completely ambivalent about its success or complete failure as you say? Square Enix doesn't give a shit if the PS3 flops? Oh, I think they do. They're invested in it. Heavily.

Yeah, but it is a huge upgrade from the original game which is acceptable.
Sources say it's coming.
Besides, the large volume of "FF7 on PS3" requests I saw at the Square Enix Party 2007 message board would surely be hard to ignore even for Square Enix. There loads of money just waiting there. Only thing is, they wouldn't want to overshadow FFXIII so I wouldn't expect it to be announced until that is all done with.

If you haven't noticed, Square took a huge risk by putting the original Final Fantasy 7 on the PS1, an unknown kid in the block the has no history in the console gaming market whatsoever and left all their fans on the Nintendo console to cry bitter tears. Square, which may seems hard to believe due to all the remakes, do take life altering risks sometime so a PS3 FF7 remake is just as viable as the PSP/DS/PSP solution. However, Sqaure doesn't like to gimp content and bastardize their games to cater to the lowest common denominator. If the previous statement were true, we would have seen FF7 on the N64 and FF8,9,10,12 on all the platform already. The fact that they took the risk to support the PS1 and not gimp it so it could be played on the other more established platform speaks volumes for itself.
Another point being whether a DS FF7 remake is a practice solution and a matter of convenience for the consumers. If you remeber, FF7 took up about 3 or 4 disks on the PS1, so how many cartridges (whatever the DS game format is) is gonna span? How much data does it hold compared to the CD? I don't think carrying a plethora of cartridges for one game on a handheld is very practice. Of course, this wouldn't be a problem for the older Final Fantasies since they don't require that much space, hence all pre FF7 remakes that have been released on it so far.

Stop making up crap, giving false hope to many makes friends with none.
My, quite the self fulfilling prophecy you've lined up there. :lolTheJollyCorner said:
At this point, I'd say the White Engine's survival hinges on FFXIII's performance. If the game tanks (or even comparably tanks) then it'll go up in smoke... previously I'd have guessed they'd try to adapt the technology and tools to other comparable machines like PC or Xbox 360 for less risky multiformat R&D (a la Capcom's Framework) but with Kawazu and Tokita's teams already moving to UE3, I think the White Engine's days are likely numbered regardless.
These games have been in developpement for a long time. Everyone, even the most annoying ntards thought the Ps3 would sell 5millions with no games.ethelred said:
Do you actually think S-E never look at video games charts? Do you actually think S-E will want to remake THE Final Fantasy exclusively for a platform that is almost bombing worldwide? Do you actually think they will invest more money in this platform when 2 others have excellent software/hardware sales?
Why do you think the Last Remnant is multi-platform? Why do you think they completely redesigned FFCC on the Wii? Why do you think FFXIII is being pushed back?
Right now S-E must be praying for FFXIII to be profitable. An FFVII remake exclusively for the PS3 is out of the question. Not with the numbers the console is pulling out right now.
Right which is why their not likely to announce another high profile, expensive project for a struggling platform. The market has changed, a remake of a 10 year old game isn't going to save PS3.ethelred said:
I dont think they'll announce it for Wii, but they'd be crazy to spend tens of millions more on another PS3 project.
