I had no idea this was coming out. Hmm. Kind of expensive though :/

user55757083466d ago (Edited 3466d ago )

$85 is a steep price for 3 games that currently total at $30 online. not to mention there are better and more in depth game guides on gamefaqs

at best this sells as a collectors item

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3466d ago

This isn't for the games it's for the games guides and they are hardcover so i don't think it's that steep honestly.

Activemessiah3466d ago

If Square are desperate for money, all they have to do is remake FF7 or 8 and boom!

Razputin3466d ago

The problem would be the money they dump behind remaking 7.

That would be the real issue. Do you really think FFVII's combat and playstyle will hold up today?

I would love to see a remake, because what you have to do today to get some mods installed is pure ridiculous.

Feralkitsune3466d ago

If they need money; what makes you think they have the cash to remake a game like FF7?

Sly-Lupin3466d ago

SE's MO is to expend the least amount of resources the earn the maximum amount of profit. This means cheap, lazy games that milk nostalgia.

They need to do this to recoup the massive losses they get from investing incredible amounts of time and money into games and then cancelling them years into development, sometimes then RE-developing them from the ground up. See the giant sinkholes that are FFXIV and FFXV.

There's a reason Final Fantasy XV needs to be the biggest Final Fantasy game ever: it needs to be to even stand a chance of recouping the money SE has wasted on it. Seriously, if you're in for a good laugh/cry at SE's monumental incompetence, read the wiki article on XV/Versus' development.

recently bought ff 7 and 9 of psn and i loving 9 but 7 not so much. only 4 hours into 7 so hope it gets better ^-^ last just need to get 8 from psn next and my ps1 ff game collection is done

ff9
ff10
ffx-2
ff12

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3466d ago

VII is one of the greatest games ever made. Trust me you will love it once the game opens up. You do eventually leave Midgar which is the city you start out in and there is a vast and varied world to explore with an amazing story and characters. I think you will love it.

Feralkitsune3466d ago

9 is the best of the early 3D ones. 7 and 8 are just way more overhyped. then 6 and 12 are my next favs with FF Tactics following close behind.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3466d ago

7 and 9 are my two top favorites in the series and think they are equally as good. 7 has a special place in my heart because it was my very first Final Fantasy game and was completely blown away by it when I first played it.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5219d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212119d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5218d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5218d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani19d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum19d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman19d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim19d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
