Final Fantasy VII Inspirational to Imageepoch CEO

"On its Japanese launch day, then-teenage Ryoei Mikage just happened to be wandering around a game shop, looking for something to pop into his dad’s new PlayStation — something that wasn’t Myst. This being his first time actually in such a store, he asked what the clerk thought would be good, and was thus introduced to Final Fantasy VII." -PSLS

He's a pretty young CEO, wow.
Kinda explains why Imageepoch's games have been kinda so-so to this point >_>
They're definitely getting better as they go, though. Final Promise Story looks like a typical JRPG honestly but I am cautiously optimistic about Black Rock Shooter.

Stealth20k4757d ago

Why? Because it looks like a shooter? Get over yourself

Imagepoch has been making amazing rpgs for years and years.

knifefight4757d ago (Edited 4757d ago )

It doesn't look like a Shooter at all. Why, do you think it does, Stealth?

I agree with Contest.
Sorry, I didn't find Sands of Destruction, Luminous Arc, or Fate to be anything more than average. I'm far from alone.

Fate/Extra, Last Ranker, and 7th Dragon didn't even come to America...and for good reason. They're nothing special =/

Sorry man, maybe they've won you over but I approach things with a little more caution.

imoutofthecontest4754d ago

What amazing games have they made?

And yeah, why exactly do you think BLS looks like a shooter? It's an RPG. Don't let the name fool you.

Scyrus4757d ago

soooo, ffvii inspired final promise to become a first person jrpg? thats fail.

even if the story is as amazing as it looks, the FP combat ruined it for millions of possible buyers including me.

FP would be fine if it would Pan out and show the characters attack like dragonquest 8 but it doesnt, its just some lame slash mark and number. Soooo lame.

how can you have an iconic attack like omnislash look awesome in first person? laaame

knifefight4757d ago

If you read the article, no, it doesn't say that at all.

Where'd you get that idea? o_o

doctorstrange4757d ago

Nowadays: "Try Black Ops, it's the best game eva!"

knifefight4757d ago

Game was my second RPG. Breath of Fire III and FF7 ushered me into one of my favorite genres. Ah the times we had....

BigWoopMagazine4757d ago

Those are still two of my favorite RPGs ever. Hard to play those games and then Not want to be involved in making more.

Simco8764757d ago

Hopefully Final Fantasy returns to those roots next time around.

Lifewish4757d ago

couldn't agree more about FFVII, it should be inspirational to anyone making RPGs

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Hofstaderman12d ago

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda12d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

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.

MrNinosan38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

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

ravens5238d 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.

VIK212138d ago (Edited 38d 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

MrNinosan38d ago

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

ravens5237d ago

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

ravens5237d 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.

Barlos38d ago (Edited 38d 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.

Tapani38d ago

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

Rebel_Scum38d ago

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

I_am_Batman38d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim38d 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_Scum38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

I disagree Batman
