FF7 Remake on PS3 Real?

[Tidus Andronicus]

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere... lol

There is appearently a lot of stuff going around about that Final Fantasy 7 tech demo at E3... actually becoming a REAL FF7 remake game! Mainly because at TGS, the FF7 demo they have running no longer says "just a tech demo"
And because in an exclusive one-on-one interview with 1up.com, "Nomura admitted freely that, should he find the time once all of his current projects are completed, he would like to take the mouth-watering Final Fantasy VII tech demo for PlayStation 3 and turn it into the complete remake for which fans of the original have been clamoring for years."

If this actually happens, it might actually encurage me to play through FF7 again! ^__^// And this would be a great way to get some younger kids to actually play FF7, and introduce a younger generation to Final Fantasy games!

(course I would also love to see FF8 remade...=P)

They said there is currently no plan to remake ff7. They just redid the intro to show off ps3 graphics.

As always the situation is thusly. IF they remade FF7, it would cost less than your average game, but more than FF7 was made on. So from the get-go it's technically a more expensive game. You've got to do things such as remake the backgrounds (most likely fully 3D sans switchable Camera Angles), the characters, the animations, the battle screens etc. while the story and what not will be set in stone. So the actual creation time would be shorter than a normal game, and probably shorter than the time it took to make FF7. Now if they released the game chances are it would do extremely well, being as popular as it is, and how everytime something remotely FF7 looking comes out everyone pounces on with the "OMG ROFL FF7 REMAKE!!!!111" comments.

So we're looking at a situation where they have a choice. They could either spend less time and money on a game, or the usual amount on another game. I guess at the end of the day it's not a question of how lucrative it would be, but rather the question of whether or not Squenix wants to simply move on in terms of their game creation, which I believe they do. I hope they do anyway, otherwise we'd all still be playing Pacman and Space Invaders.

But the CAN move on in terms of game "creation"... it just wont be a new story or magic system, etc.

It's not like they'll simply be converting it to another patform *cough*FFIV*cough* but making a new game (in a sense) reusing a very popular idea.

I'm not saying I want something DIFFERENT to FFVII - in the same way that the Zelda games are all different - as it'll have the same plot, story, combat system, weapons/armour/magic, etc etc. (Besides, look at how popular Zelda is these days...)

Does that make sense?

What would be sweet is if they made the game, and added an epolouge of sorts. Square needs to make a decent collector's remake. Working Designs remakes should be what squaresoft's design team should go for. Throw a ton of colector items in there, mabey tweak plotholes and stuff; make Aries revivable and give cloud the ability to killer her before Sepiroth can !

I would like to see square put as much pride in FF as Working Designs gave top lunar. I never bought any of thier collections, as they looked like a waste to me.

If square have remade four onto another console, y not 7 is wot gets me. It wud sell for the same price as any other ps3 game (does anyone no wot that is by the way?) and it wud take less money to make. i wud gladly sell my mother to get my hands on that game

[Sephiroth_Lionhear88]

if they would make a remake of VII (and i definitely hope they do) i think they have to make some new stuff you know like extra sidequests and more options etc etc because if they don't there's a big chance lots of people won't buy it because it's just the same old game just polished up a bit.

for the record i would buy it

[Tidus Andronicus]

The reason I started this thread, was to descuse that Nomura seems to actually want to remake FF7 if he can! And the other thing is that Square wasn't saying the FF7 graphics demo, was just a demo anymore. They seem to be encuraging the rumor of a FF7 remake... lol

I know the general idea, is that we shouldn't hope for a true FF7 remake... but who knows... I think the FF7 graphics demo has sparked memories for some of the Square guys, cause they keep dropping hints. lol

Course this could all just be a silly marketing ploy... =/

You have to wonder why they've put effort into creating and making Dirge of Cerberus and Advent Children considering FFVII is now about 8 years old.

Don't diss Pacman and Space Invaders. Awesome games.

Anyway, you're right for the most part. However, despite their desire to move on, I think that in terms of business opportunities that a remake of FFVIII would be one of the smartest things they could do. For less time and effort they could make a game that would probably make more money than their current next planned release.

Cant they just leave a game as a game instead of making all new things about ti, I say they should have left FFVII as it was.

[Shoden]

remaking 8 would be a waste of money but 7 on the other hand will bring in loads.

[Dreddz]

I still dont think a remake will happen.....

[ISRviper]

maybe aquare should start a pole or petition, asking how many people would buy FF7 if they remade it for PS3.... and maybe if they see that a large amount of people would buy the game than maybe they would think aboute reamking it. This would also mean that FFXIII would be put on a hold, or they would make both things simoltanesly.

Theyre already thinking and working out how the sales and costs, profits etc. would go if they remake it. and they know people would buy it.
