Because computer games are a lot harder to make than CGI films.

Otherwise, they wanted a quick buck.

i cant imagine this as a game. its not really needed. its just a quick sequel with no real importance and theres not enough to make it a game. it would need to be modified loads to make a half decent game and the films good. no game.

The whole FFVII compilation seemed to me a big "test run" for Square. They had done spin-offs and such here and there before, but this was a huge group of them all surrounding one central world coming at once. That's probably why we got a safer bet like a movie and PSP game and all the rest then a very expensive full-on 50 hour RPG extravaganza.

I like that it was a movie myself. I liked the whole idea of expanding on VII like they did in various genres and medias. I guess they like it too, seeing as XIII is now planned to be similar right from the start. I think it's good though, and now that XIII is made with a compilation in mind I believe they will be even more successful at it.

but if they made it a game it would of been slightley different thats why i think it would have been better plus the only people who would see this film are fans and kids no adults would watch it

[Raebus]

So adults arent allowed to be fans of final fantasy?

[Mea Culpa]

I'm an adult and I loved it. So did my friends who are also adults. I liked that it was a movie, I think it allowed for deeper character development. I think making it a game might have weakened the flow of the story.

Game = More time to concentrate on story and character development.

Film = Around two hours to fit everything in.

I would rather they spend their time preparing to release the other games not a spin off. lol

They were taking thier time with 12, so maybe this was a way to keep the fans? Thats how I see it anyway.

i think its better as a film as the story isnt long or developed enough to be a game......a classic mistake of a game that should of been a film (and probably a good one too) was FF10-2 because the story wasnt quite complicated enough for a game, the game fell flat on its face and now there are people camped outside squaresoft with shotguns wanting thier money and 30 hours of their life back.......and do you REALLY want that to happen to FF7?

[crazy chocobo]

It was a 20 minute concept that changed into a full length movie at the last minute. Also Square is reluctant to make spinoffs and were experimenting. But they are probably remaking it for the PS3. ( I hope!)

[Fatal Impurity]

i hope not.....theres already too much been done to FF7 and with the original being re-made on the ps3 it'll just become another FF10-2 except even worse because it will defile a gaming legend.....
