There is no FF7-2

first off. If you know what your talking about, you would know that to make FF7 (the first 3-D RPG) they had to invent an entire new engine, and work with polygons ect. This engine they created was used all through out VIII and IX just merely tweaked slightly. FFX cost them tons of money due to they had to invent new engines, all the voices and advanced graphics and real time body movements took time. FFXI cost lots due to its an online RPG with many intricate details to it.

I know tons of people would buy a sequel to FF7, considering how anticipated it is. Look at star wars. There was, if I'm not mistaken and 16 year gap between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace and look how well that did. The time differential will merely add to the profits.

Also, making 9 new games since then was fairly easy considering they only had to invent 1 new main engine after FF7. I don't consider Anthology, Chronicles and Origins FF games that were 'made new' when all they had to do were create some cut scenes and change the controls and that to be compatable with the playstation game console (1-2 months at most) The only real FF games they created were VIII, Tactics, IX, X and including XI and X-2 there have been 5 new ones. Also, remember that Square (now Square/Enix) is one of the largest and most profitable game developing companies in the world. Here is the complete list of games they have released since FF7.


Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy Origins
XenoGears
SaGa Frontier
SaGa Frontier 2
Threads Of Fate
Ehrgeiz
Chrono Cross
Vagrant Story
Brave Fencer Musahi
Einhander
Bushido Blade
Bushido Blade 2
Final Fantasy Chronicles
Final Fantasy Anthology
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy X-2
Driving Emotion: Type S
The Bouncer
Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore
Front Line 2
Front Line 3
Xenosaga
Chocobo Racing
Chocobo's Dungeon 2


and there are many other I know they made but don't feel like finding on the net.

Like FF Tactics and Chrono Trigger? :rolleyes2

FFVII-2, works for me. So does FFX-2. And probably any other sequel to a Squaresoft (damn...square-enix) game. I like changes in the characters like in FFX-2. It should feel like a different game but still remind you of the previous one.

*agrees totally*

The reason why they don't want to make FFVII-2 on PS2 is because of the different engines and they'd have to make it from scratch. But weren't the games on Final Fantasy Origins and Anthology on different engines? I may be wrong, I don't know anything about that type of stuff but if they're going to take their time and make a game like Unlimited SaGa(which sucks a lot) then why can't they make FFVII-2(which most likely won't suck a lot)?

They've already stated that it's going to take as much time as creating a whole new FF, and they arent ready to do that yet. If they do this, they want to do it right.

They'll need new characters (either a few or a ton depending on how long after the original it is.
New story
New graphics (Anthologies and Chronologies were just updated. We can easily assume VII-2 will be done in X style graphics.)
etc etc.

With X-2, they had the engine, the scenes, the characters, all of it already made. They did some updates on the models and the scenes, made a few new places and characters, and viola. It didnt take long at all. VII-2 would have to be made from scratch, the only different from a new FF being that it would have some previous stuff (characters, world map/locations, etc) to go off of.

I'd love to see a VII-2, but I'd rather they wait to make it. I think we'd all be disappointed if they put out a half assed attempt. I hope they do it all out or dont do it at all.

Um... didn't anyone read my post?

[Razorheart215]

VII-2 would be good... but still not as good as the origional... and from what i've herd... they're making a VII-Remake... as long asthey don't tamper with the storyline i'm there...

if tey make a way to save aeris i'll be the happyest man alive...

when the origional VII came out, it still wasn't completely finished... the translations weren't acurate... and the 1/35 SOLDIER things whats all that bout? imagine if you will ultima ruby emerald in X graphics... ans sephiroth *drools*

[TheAbominatrix]

Yes, let's hope they make a way to save Aeris. So that her sacrifice will be cheapened and meaningless. *sarcasm*

Final Fantasy doesn't even come close to the pop culture following that Star Wars has.
