FFVII Remake Possible If Development Schedules Open Up

thedude17655 - 701 days 1 hour ago

for this gen they already have the characters designed and some of the final fantasy 7 universe due to the movie and the trailer at e3. So it wouldn't take as along as people think to make the game, but i am sure it would take time just not as along as ff13 or vs13.

For me, it wouldn't have anywhere near the same effect as did the original if everything was the same down to a T(besides gfx of course).

That's just me, my opinion, and I'm not insinuating that anyone else is wrong...just for clarification.

Anyway, I'd like them to try something different, maybe not stray too far away from the original formula, but add some things, maybe 3D movement for strategic purposes, something new, I don't know, but something.

They will of course have to keep materia...it's part of the universe itself, so I'm not worried about that, but I do think they should add something of a contemporary flair to the gameplay.

That there is a fine balance. SE will want to please as many people as they possibly can with a remake.

So to please the diehards, they will want to keep as much of game the same as they can but to make a remake a worthy "update" to the orignal they will have to add some current gen gameplay style to complement the updated graphics.

And because of that I don't think the remake (I'll talk about it as if it WILL happen) will be exactly the same but there won't much changed.

Im almost certain SE will remake FF7, just when they are finished with FF13. But it does bother me as to how they will change the game. The battle system worries me most, because i would be perfectly happy with the original turn-based system. If they include the new style battle system, i just hope it works really well. This game isn't worth taking a risk over if it ruins the experience. Just keep the same game but do with the ps3 what you couldn't do with the ps1 Square

Those (excluding III and IV for DS) are made in a relatively quick fashion, if they were to remake FFVII for PS3, it would take years, like it has been for FFXIII and FFvXIII. My point is, if they remake a game, from PS1 days or earlier, into a next-gen (or now-gen) game, it would take twice as long to do.

I'm all for this, it'd be awesome to fight Sephiroth in 1080p :P

dude kicking Sephiroth ass in 1080p would f**king rock. I am think somewhere around the line of Advent Children CG Movie graphic

It sure is looking like its going to happen this gen, I can't wait. I have wished for this since that E3 05 demo! Especially after seeing Advent Children...I always thought that Midgar would look awesome as a fully dynamic rendered 3D city. Hurry up and finish FF XIII (really excited for this to) so we can get this!!!

Ive thought its likely not made yet because they want to make it after they have mastered this new gen, with all the new engines and middleware.

Its something they would'nt want to release first or second year. More like 2011 IMO. I just can't wait to get my hands on Crisis Core and Dissidia, and the remastered psn ff7. I will wait for them to go all out on the PS3 FFVII Remake.

however, like Pirate wrote, FFVII was published by Sony in America and Europe. So, the 360 will not have a chance to get exclusivity.

I can see SE wanting to make it multiplatform.

Think of the benefits for everyone.

SE get more revenue making the remake more cost effective.

Sony fans get what they want.

PS3 and 360 owners get a game they might not have played before(I consider Sony fans to be brand loyalists, not necessarily fan boys though).

The game would be one of the most played games in history in terms of amount of different people who have played the game.

The game consumes too much... I don't know how people got to 1 billion.

When I broke your record I left the controller alone to end the game because I was way too tired to keep playing...

You want to know something funny?? well wasn't funny when It happened.

Before I broke your record I was playing like 2 days before and I had like 180 mill points, got tired and I ended the game thinking it would keep the score... mannnn I almost smashed the PS3 with my computer chair.

haha.. don't give up though, I want to get motivation to play again...

later

that is a big loss (I loved his composing.) I am glad he composed for FFXIII. But I don't think it will effect FFVII that much. Square can still hire Smile Please (Uematsu's Company) whenever they wish. He does not work solely for Mystwalker.

And thats why the open zone was created for you, for making one of the Funniest statements of the Month of Feburary

"And in 2008 since Sony is relying on Metal Gear Solid to sell the system, how do they anticipate going up against the likes of Splinter Cell 5 for instance?"

heres another one, this is like a YTMND moment here, i should put you on YTMND or on 4chan or somethin.

"Seriously, I'm beginning to wonder why people think Resistance 2 is that game. Its had one edition, and couldn't even compete with "GEARS" multiplayer let alone.......Half Life. And that's especially sad to me!

I don't think Lost Odyssey is even competing with Final Fantasy yet, so to think that those games like god forbid KILLZONE and SOCOM would compete with Halo, Gears or Ghost Recon is BLASPHEMY."

Seriously dude, what are you smoking today, what kind of pot are you smoking, that way i can go to a nearbuy drug dealer and ask him if he has the same stuff you are using. BTW, you dont care about these franchises coming to the PS3, but the other 120 million people who owned a PS2 does care.

this was the most xbot thing a xbot could ever say. This is why the open zone was made. The truth is, the PS3 has more than just MGS 4 dumb ass. It has Final Fantasy XIII, Resistance 2, the next Ratchet game, hopefully Final Fantasy VII remake (if that happens then the 360 is good as dead), God of War III, Gran Turismo 5, Haze, and Killzone 2.

Response of a xbot:
Ya well most of those games suck anyway MGS 4 is the only good one and you know its coming to the mighty 360 so sony is as good as dead.

my response:
ya ya w/e you are jelouse of the myriad of games we have and you know MGS 4 isnt coming to the 360 so STFU. MGS 4 on 360 will never happen, just forget that sad (for you) reality. Go play Halo or something.....o wait you cant because of the Red Ring of Death

ps2 many years to get to 120 million, most of the time it has been rather difficult to find final fantasy 7. i am sure poeple will want to play it because it is the god father of 3d console rpgs, if ff7 didn't do as well you wouldn't have any decent *snicker* rpgs on xbox360, mrs. super360rpgwonder.

thedude17655 - 701 days ago

i said god father. not god, tell me a more prominent rpg that has done as much as ff7 for the modern rpg, i am quite certain that ff7 was the first.

i wasn't talking about the old rpgs, i am talking about the 3d rpgs, you know all the ones that are currently in dev and have been dev since.

no i haven't played planescape torment, from what i understand it came out 2 years after ff7 and was made my microsoft...you got a little brown on your nose.

and i am glad that you speak for the " 360 owners only like classic RPGs" enjoy playing those, oh don't worry i will still play them on my ps3, and all the other systems, while enjoy the ff13 series.

does anyone care that it is my opinion, beacuse i still don't understand all of the disagrees
