...it's real you guys: FINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE

[shinkuzame]

My boyfriend had messaged me this morning to tell me the news and send me link to the trailer. I screamed--and I'm pretty sure my dog thought I was dying.

BARRET'S DATE.

I wonder how much of an influence spinoffs will have on the remake? Particularly Crisis Core which added a lot to original game canon, with a ton of emphasis on the Buster Sword's symbolism and even threw Genesis smack into the Nibelheim incident...

Never thought I'd see the day

I hope it's a full HD remake with a new graphic and stuff and not just VII with a slightly better one where you can't even tell the difference. There was no ingame footage so we don't now!

Yes, yes we do. It's a remake. If it was a hd port they'd probably say so and not make a pretty and expensive trailer for it. What would be the point of leaving out footage if it was the same game?

It seems like a PR move to me - a considerable amount of their fanbase stopped taking interest in the franchise because of the FF13 games and them not doing anything else on the PS3. And I can understand people losing respect for Square Enix for that, but a lot of those people wanted a FF7 remake because that was one of their first games as a kid and for that reason all of the other FF games after it sucked because they weren't FF7. So I'm kind of annoyed that they hit the panic button to improve PR and cashflow. FF7 isn't a bad game, I'd just like to see them make new games after FF15, like Agni's Philosophy (which could possibly end up being 16?). Either way, I'm just jaded because FF6 was my first and for the reason I criticize (I'm so hypocritical) I'd rather see that remade and actually see a 3D treatment, even if it has more characters than you can count on your hands. That being said, FF7 isn't a bad game and I'd play this just because FF7 is one of the better final fantasies, I'm just annoyed by the impatience of wanting to see something new already.

honestly I try not to get so hyped about this because knowing square enix's history this probably won't come out until they realease the PS5, and honestly I'd be VERY surprised it it came out before that....

I never personally liked VII that much, it was okay but I'm not super hyped for this...


However,


Didn't they always say that they won't release a FFVII remake until they feel they have surpassed its quality with another Final Fantasy game? They've said that quite a lot if I recall.

Does this mean they consider Final Fantasy XIII trilogy to be just as good or better than VII?

Take from that what you will but I would be pretty disappointed if they legit thought that XIII even remotely matched the quality of any Final Fantasy game from 6-12 (yes, even 12).

This is honestly what I'm thinking. FFXIII Versus, which is now FFXV, was supposed to come out on the PS3 according to one of the first trailers, yet here we are almost two years into the PS4 with not even a release date.

I believe the same can be said about final fantasy xiii, I heard that game was teased in 2006 and came out 3 years later lol
