That should at least stop a few "FfvII remake!" threads, i guess.

Maybe not.

Personally I couldn't care either way if they made a remake. As long as I have the ability to play the original on my PSP that's OK with me. Still, it'll be a long time until I go back to FFVII.

No, chances of this quelling rumors is fairly low I'm afraid, despite the how clear the message is. SE has released such messages before and it hasn't helped at all.

I don't understand how anyone could possibly believe a FFVII remake was in the works anyway. Not only has SE always been generally up-front when it came to information on their projects but a PS3 remake of anything would require an incredible amount of resources and time from staff members who are involved in quite a few other projects at the moment (namely Fabula Nova Crystallis). As they have said, it's not a very feasible endeavor, no matter how much money it would rake in.

Finally some good news :smrt:

I WANT A REMAKE TO REKINDLE MY LOVE FOR FFVII. :(

It wont stop any threads. They still said they might make it. Until its a definate no then the threads will continue.

So it's a definite NO REMAKE for now but maybe in the future.

They said there is no remake in development, but they didnt say they wont do that in the future - Just in case they may want to do it at the end

I seriously hope that they remake it at some point. It is no secret that I'm not a huge fan of the original game anymore, but I still miss the passion I use to have for it. :(

If they hadnt made that technical demo, this might just stop people from thinking that there's going to be a remake. Personally I hope they do remake it, or at least sort out the ps1 games on psp thing so that I can play it again. I'd love to see it with better graphics though.

Finally some good news :smrt:

qfft

^ Haters :P

Personally, I think a remake would be good.

^ Idiot :P

Only if they, sort out the flaws of the original.

Also lol @ Moronic fanboy

What's with the flames? It's rather low to insult someone just for making their opinion known.

Of course I'd like to see Square make more new games, but I always enjoy seeing remakes of older games.

Why would you want them to remake a game better left alone? also this is the FFshrine, flaming happenes to everyone.

Yes, but flaming someone for no apparent reason is just retarded.

Back to FF7, personally I disagree that the game is best left alone. Final Fantasy VII could be improved substantially. The graphics and sound could easily be improved (as shown by the tech demo), the game could have voice acting (like there was in Advent Children) and perhaps there could be improved gameplay.

However, if Square decide not to remake the game, then I'll still be happy, as FF7 is still (to this day) a great game.

There is an apparent reason: your haters comment.

Of course, you do show a greater degree of intelligence than most FFVII fans in that you utilize proper spelling and grammar. Therefore, I have no real desire to attack you whole-heartedly.

I do believe Square should move on with new things to work on.

There is an apparent reason: your haters comment.

My comment was not meant to be insulting. It was a mere joke. If I offended anyone, I apologise.


Of course, you do show a greater degree of intelligence than most FFVII fans in that you utilize proper spelling and grammar. Therefore, I have no real desire to attack you whole-heartedly.

Hahaha. Thank you.

Would be nice, but the more I think about it the less I'd want it. I'd want the original on the psp still, but I'm looking forward to FFXIII more. Besides, if anyone read that report it seems that a lot of the creators of XIII were fans of VII and are looking to make it just as good if not better, whilst still being new and interesting.

The trailer of XIII is looking pretty good, and who's to say SE aren't going to remake VII? They've denied things like this in the past and done it anyway, could be the same story here. Who knows?

Yes, but flaming someone for no apparent reason is just retarded.

Personally I would call it mediocre, but that's besides the point.

If they want to remake the game, they're gonna have to rewrite whole sections of the plot and rub out maybe one or two of the superfluous characters if they want it to be good. The gameplay system needs to be completely redone and overhauled ; Honestly, the Materia and Limit Break systems are just plain embarrassments to the gameplay. The ATB system could use a facelift so that it stands out.

All that would take effort and creative resources that Square Enix simply can't be arsed to give.

I thought the materia system was pretty good. I mean, back then, most rpgs were just level up systems- and learn spells through leveling up. Without the materia system, it wouldn't be 7.

Of course, you do show a greater degree of intelligence than most FFVII fans in that you utilize proper spelling and grammar. Therefore, I have no real desire to attack you whole-heartedly.


Yep, at least he ain't like "FFVII IS THE BEST, FUCK ALL YOU HATERS" it seems the number of moronic fanboys has dropped, maybe they are finally getting the message.

If they remade FFVII, I would start playing Dragon Quest.

Oh god haha yes. I remember Sephclone and manga legend all too well.

YAY!! It's time to put a stop to those rumors. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'd like a remake, but am still more than happy with the original

I'm actually rather surprised at this. Still perhaps SE have finally realised they've gone over board with all the FF7 stuff and that some of the fans are now becoming wise to it lol.

Why haven't you got the message? Gtfo!

Why haven't you got the message? Gtfo!

Realise that your the only one who cares, and move on.

Your up against something you really don't want to do. You, are not well-liked in fact your regarded as an oafish moronic... cunt, to be blunt. DW is waaaaaaaay more well liked than you and intelligence wise, you are a completely inferior species. Your li'l comment is a little misconstrued.

Edit: Don't feel bad I'm not that well-liked either.

Thats nice, when I care, be sure to send a letter.

yes, because your quite intelligent

haha @ the fucktard

haha @ the fucktard

Because quoting yourself is taking the intelligent, superior, highroad.

No one ever mentioned anything about intelligence, the "Haha @ the dumbass" posts were retarded, so I changed them, DW's post was completely uncalled for, he should then expect the same from me, but I decided to change it anyway.

Will you both give it a rest? DW is a stupid fanboy cunt, end of story. Now quit shitting up the thread.


YAY!! It's time to put a stop to those rumors. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That...is debatable.

I wouldn't mind an FFVII remake to the likes of FFXII.

yea that's right...FFXII. I know a lot of people didn't like the battle engine but maybe in the far future someone will decide to be like "FACK...I got something up my ass. OMIGOD it's FFVII REMAKE TIME!"

A full 3D Midgar environment...awesome.

I'm actually rather surprised at this. Still perhaps SE have finally realised they've gone over board with all the FF7 stuff and that some of the fans are now becoming wise to it lol.

I'm quite surprised also but lets be honest, doesn't this tease fans even more?. I think they will start development for a remake soon enough and by that point the fanboys will be creaming in their shorts with anticipation.

SE know it, FFVII remake = big bucks. It'll be made soon enough.

Then again, teasing people for too long would just piss them off. It'd be like getting a can of dog food for your puppy but instead of opening it you beat the can over it's head for awhile.

That may be true, but your comparison is an insult to the puppy's level of intelligence. :smrt:

Ay, I too was excited by the possibility of a VII remake after the tech demo.
But I put a little more thought in it (and by the way, you fan-maniacs, thats all it takes--- a little thought), I realized that it wouldn't make sense for that kind of game anytime soon, because when that vid was released they were working on FFXII and XIII, trying to make progress on the PS3, not make a game from the past. Actually, I am now looking forward to XIII and even XIV before I start to turn back to the FFVII remake idea.

BTW, I agree with the puppy--dog food perception.

Dear S-E, make new series, instead of regurgitating old ones.

New serieses of games wiould be great and better to play, with a new storyline and all. But a remake is in high demand, so it wont hurt se to make one. I for one would like a remake, but im not jumpy or crazy bout it.

I mean look at KH, they're new series generally attract more people, rather than their staling, old ones. That's why i can't wait to see info about "the last remnant", S-Es newest endeavor.

I'd rather a remake of 7, rather than a new one. I mean, the story of 12 was terrible anyway, so they might as well have remade 7 instead.

But since 7's story was terrible also, it's probably better to make a new terrible thing instead of rehashing an old terrible thing.

That's debatable, new shit, or old shit? Personally I know it's not gonna happen unless a new company buys the rights to FFVII. Like ffi-vi got remade, only because it was ported to a new console. Though S-e may pull out remakes for a rainy day.

They'll always leave the possibility open even if they do not plan to make a new or remade one. That possibility alone will probably make hardcore FFVII fans buy a PS3 or whatever consol it would be made on. The whole FFVII intro on the PS3 graphic engine was just a teaser, when in reality, they probably have no plans at all the remake one at all, but fans will hold out anyway.

But since 7's story was terrible also, it's probably better to make a new terrible thing instead of rehashing an old terrible thing.

But 12's story was about politics and government. Sleep....
That's real world stuff that people try to ignore. At least 7 had a sense of fantasy to the story.

While your dislike for FF12's storyline is a matter of taste, you have to agree that the gameplay system of FF12 is clearly superior to that of FF7's

Yeah why should we care about what's going on around us? :rolleyes:

Maybe because all the different governments do the exact same things, so there is no point even paying attention- as nothing hugely changing happens anyway.

I've got to be honest, i don't know which i preferred. While 12's system is fresh, i got hooked on the old system- so that must show that they were both good. Maybe a choice in 12's gameplay (within config/options). That would have sorted it. Nobody could complain about the new system.

I am not arguing that either isn't good, I quite enjoyed the FF9's incarnation of the old system. I am just saying that the new system is a marked improvement over the old system, regardless of personal preferences.

Many people prefer the old system due to the nostalgia factor and while nostalgia is often associated with good things, the two terms shouldn't be mixed. ;)

So you're saying communists and democracy have the same rules and the same thing always happens to them? Also it's the small thing that count, like a no child left behind act that actually hurts the kids with an actual chance of becoming something. Or Increasing welfare and SSI, by charging more tax, politics very much affect everyday life.

I just wish, that threads about remakes for FVII, whether they are about if it's happening or not, would end.

Charging more tax....what �1 extra a week. Like i said, no major changes ever happen when it comes to politics. At least not in the UK. Bigger things count more, imo.

Hmmm...maybe. Heck, i'll just say that i like both. By the way, that is a personal preference (prefering the new system). Some people prefer atb combat, because of it's slower pace- and some people think it's too slow. It's all opinion

That is true, I should also remind you that posting twice in sucession in a thread is frowned upon here. If you must quote multiple posts, you can always use the "+ button next to the quote button. Click the buttons on the posts you need to quote and then click reply.

S-E stated that they were going to stop making any and all games related to FFVII after it's 20 year anniversary. So we would have a decade left if a remake were to actually be released.

I for one would actually like a remake. Fan's want it, developers want it, 10 years time limit, and they have experience developing for the PS3 already. All the pieces are there.

Where are these developers?

Dude, click on the link on the first post.


But, as usual, all isn't necessarily lost. Yoshinori Kitase, overall director of the FFVII series, followed up with, "However, when we ask the staff who are making FFXIII why they entered the company, there are many people who say, 'I'm an FFVII fan, I also want to do a remake.'" To this, Nomura added, "We of course know ourselves what the fans want so we'd like to continue thinking up a variety of things. As long as there are people who want to make it and people who are waiting for it, we don't want to proclaim 'the end.'"

Or I could give you the simplest answer... Japan.

Want is a strong word

Lol. Nice. Where I usually debate and argue, that would be called a straw dummy tactic. As you can see the quote I have supplied you hasn't been properly replied to and instead replaced with a subject totally unrelated to the original "Where are these developers". Or in other words, a straw dummy.

But I'll reply anyway.

Wanting something and getting something are completely different. That's what you're trying to get at, correct? I'll just make this as simple as possible and try to end this right here, in this post.

The quote from Nomura as stated above.

"...As long as there are people who want to make it and people who are waiting for it, we don't want to proclaim 'the end.'"

And then my quote again...

"Fan's want it, developers want it, 10 years time limit, and they have experience developing for the PS3 already. All the pieces are there."

We went full circle back to my topic. Yay.

I thought remakes were for games that are outstanding but hard to get a hold of anymore, how rare is the PS1 version of FFVII? BTW just to pour fuel on the flamers what are the chances of a Xenogears(Don't mention Xenosaga) remake?:-P

To answer your question oso27us, Final Fantasy VII for ps1 brand new goes for around 120 dollars! So my guess is its pretty rare.

Heres some prices!

Thanks, guess that qualifies as rare.I heard that Square-Enix will not be remaking it while it is playable on current consoles so I guess it will be PS4 or 5 before We will see a remake if ever.
