Title: Final Fantasy VII: The Remake?-- You betta believe it!
Post by: Kenji on May 17, 2005, 11:48:11 AM
Okay, okay...before any of you piss your pants, an FFVII remake hasn't been confirmed-- YET. However, Square Enix unveiled a special video for the PS3 which featured the opening sequence of FFVII, recreated entirely with next generation graphics. The video looks absolutely amazing...I literally shed a tear after seeing it. At this time, SE is saying that they have no plans to make an FFVII remake, but we'll be seeing FFVII on the PS3 in "some form". Hmmm, some form...I wonder what they mean by that.

You just never know with Square, though. I think with the stir they've been causing with the FFVII clip, a remake for the PS3 is inevitable. I know they did something similar with FFVIII, recreating the entire CG sequence with PS2 graphics...but one could only hope! GIVE ME AN FFVII REMAKE NOW, SO I CAN BUY TWO COPIES!: One to play, and one to cuddle with during my sleep.

And if you haven't seen it yet:

No need to worry about pissing my pants, but I definitely crapped myself. That's freaking sweet, no more pixelized Tifa and Yuffie. The new graphics kind of ruined Cloud's hair, though, it doesn't remind me of a chocobo anymore.

Yeah, they did kinda ruin Cloud's hair. It looks too realistic now! I wish they went with more of an anime aproach, but I guess they were trying to show off the realism of the PS3's graphics engine.

I really hope that Square Enix will develope it. Don't they know that remake = sales = win?

Here's to hoping that I could see a new and improved version of the Weapons. :)

Yeah, anything FFVII will sell better than the bible.

It's years after the original game and FFVII merchandise is still selling, not to mention cosplay, Tifa fanboys, etc.

It's also one of the few things that would seriously consider making me get a PS3 in the immediate future.

If they do confirm it.... I bet Shiva is going to melt her surroundings rather than freezing them. At least if she'll look as good as that trailer. Oh and Knights of the Round will own. I just hope they don't make it like 30 minutes long or something

I was reading that it's definitely not a remake, and was just a tech demo.

Sorry! I'd love to see the remake as well! In fact, I've often thought, if I ever become insanely rich, one of the first things I will do is pay game companies to remake their old games which I love. I tend to love 4 or 5 old games more than all the new games put together, it's just that some of them are just TOO old now ..

It's a sad story because they "used up" so many great, great stories and concepts at a time when the technology was just not there to deliver the full experience, graphics, sound etc .. so now we have that tech but so many new games seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

FFVII, for sure. Then I'll probably go and remake all the old school FF's.

Im kinda sceptic about this but I sure do wish this happens.
More than that I would like to see a remake of FF6 which is even better than FF7  :D

Usually these tech demo's are just tech demo's.
Well we can make an exception in Nintendo DS.

Or then they could make a mix of ff6 and ff7 together.  :D
A completely new story. Square-Enix megamix.

Don't dream. There won't be any remake for FFVII, if there is SE would already announced it pior for PS3's launch. So far only confirmed titles tat is related to FFVII are:

FFVII: Before Crisis (HP game, only avail in Japan, NTT DoCoMo fones)
FFVII: Crisis Core (slated for PSP release)
FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus (slated for PS2 release)

There is an announced release of Final Fantasy game for PS3, but till now producer Yoshinori Kitase and also director for several FF games, states that they hav no plans to reveal what it is, except it's in development for PS3. We can only cross over fingers for now.

So do I get to smack you in the face if their Final Fantasy title for the PS3 turns out to be an FFVII remake? Here's my take on it...if it was going to be the next installment, then they would have just said that it's going to be FFXIII. However, they haven't, and are being pretty hush hush about it. It would lead me to believe that they could POSSIBLY be working on a FFVII remake.

You don't really have to be so rude you know, don't you practice any net etiquettes at all. Think in a logical way, if it's a remake, do u think it would generate as much profit as compared to a totally new Final Fantasy series? I'm not saying the game would be a FFXIII or what, but judging from the way SE do stuffs, I don't really think they would make a FFVII remake for PS3, more likely a side-story to it, if there's even one for PS3 in the first place.

You can try and dream on, but I can tell you it's not gonna happen. When PS2 was just out, they had the FFVIII tech-demo too in real-time. So this is nothing new really, the tech-demo is just there, for showcasing PS3's capabilities. Nothing more, period.

Your sarcasm detector must be broken, 'cause I was being sarcastic...:lol: I tend to have a crude sense of humor, so sorry if you were offended.

Of course I know about the FFVIII technical demo; they did the same thing on N64 with FFVI characters. However, Final Fantasy X was announced back when the technial demo was shown. The difference here is that the upcoming Final Fantasy title for the PS3 doesn't specify that it's going to be the 13th installment in the series. This leads me to believe that they could possibly be working on a FFVII remake. Not saying that it's going to happen, but it's possible at this point in time...until they reveal some more details.

i so hope they make at least like a one level demo remake of VII. i hear some people want SquareEnix to remake the whole game, but i think it's unnecessary. a demo, or even just a brand new game with just the VII characters would be cool to me.
Title: Final Fantasy VII: The Remake?-- You betta believe it!
Post by: Kenji on June 26, 2005, 12:37:03 AM
From The Magic Box:

EGM's rumor corner reported that Square Enix is indeed working on a PS3 version of Final Fantasy VII, with graphic enhancements like in FFVII: Advent Children.

:w00t:  :w00t:  :w00t:  :w00t:

Take it for what you will, but this definitely makes me all giddy. I have this strange feeling that Square's trying to keep this remake on the downlow, so they can surprise the HELL out of all the FFVII fanboys and prove the disbelievers wrong.
Title: Final Fantasy VII: The Remake?-- You betta believe it!
Post by: Asmodai on June 26, 2005, 02:07:32 AM
Yeah. The question is whether it's FFVII with cleaned up graphics or FFVII-2, a spin-off game like X-2.
Title: Final Fantasy VII: The Remake?-- You betta believe it!
Post by: Kobasew on July 03, 2005, 06:18:45 AM
Hmmm, FF-VII-2.....??  :w00t:   :w00t:   :w00t:

If that ever came true, I'd play that game 40-50 times...I've played FFVII over 20 times already even if it is in Japanese and I can't understand a thing.  The game was simply revolutionary (in my opinion).

Post by: nihozem on July 03, 2005, 03:52:13 PM
I hope they remake FFVII, but a FFVII-2 seems a bit more likely since there will be more story to play through with the release of AC.  If they do make 7-2, I just hope it's not . . .as similar to the over the top X-2.

P.S. No hate to X-2 and X-2ophiles.  :)

A long time ago I read that they did plan to release both Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII as remakes for the Playstation 2, but that was like two years ago, I think it was "Game Informer" that published that. But now with the next generation systems I think it was better to wait, or who knows the longer we wait the much better the games will look. But hopefully it's during my lifetime.

Post by: Kenji on July 03, 2005, 10:22:57 PM
Supposedly FFVII and VIII remakes were in development for the PS2, but since their movie "Spirits Within" bombed so badly, they had to scrap their plans altogether. They've been doing better ever since they merged with Enix, though...so a remake is very possible.

As far as I have hear, the special edition box set for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children WILL come with a special international edition of Final Fantasy VII for PS2

I am not 100% sure on this, but I am pretty positive about it  :)

Post by: Kobasew on July 04, 2005, 06:25:59 AM
Speaking of Advent Children, is anybody planning on getting that boxset?  I mean about 280$ US seems a bit pricey for the contents.  From what I've read, the stuff in it isn't anything to be drooling over....perhaps the figure may be something of interest but there isn't even an artbook.

I only have played FF Vii in PC platform. And it was my favourite game during my secondary school time! Glad to hear that it will return with new look and new quality. But I may have no chance to play the new version cos have no money to buy a PS3... :cry:

Currently is waiting for the FF VII Advent Children movie!  It will be released on 14/9/2005! :w00t:
