Best RPG on PSX and The movie was fantastic and the first person shooter Dirge of cerebus!!

Most of you might not know but theres a 30min Episode on youtube called Final Fantasy 7 - Last Order.

Not to mention the long awaited Psp Version Crisis-Core. I've pre-orderd the Psp Bundle.. Limited Edition Psp Looks great.

And im sure that there will be a remake of it for the PS3 next year fingers crossed.

I hope you enjoy this thread and post your comments and what you think about the ever expanding Franchsise..

:thumbsu::)
 
I played Final Fantasy on the PlayStation 2 which bored me in some parts but had good gameplay. I've seen some of the anime movies which the graphics are amazing.

Good long-lasting series.

The original game was very good but has lost some of its lustre after the shameless milking of the franchise by SE. For the love of God, stick to making completely new games for the series instead of dodgy spin-offs for a game that was intended to stand alone!

Still, the original was good.
 
Awsome game back in the day. Played the PC version, but never finished it.

Then tried it again on PSP but once again didn't complete it. Was looking forward to Crisis Core but sold my PSP.
 
My favourite game, i've been gaming since the old Master System days, and this game is ym favourite.

To the topic starter. Basically no chance of a remake champ.

I wouldn't bet on it. It won't happen soon (i.e., I can't see them starting it for at least another 3 years), but it's bound to happen eventually considering the remakes of the NES games and the fact that it would be incredibly profitable. Give them another 15 years and they'll probably be remaking X and XII for the PS5.

A remake isn't really necessary, but it will unfortunately happen sooner or later (if you couldn't tell from my earlier post, I'd really rather they stick to getting the new games out; still no release date for XIII :mad:).
 
I replayed the original after getting rowded up by crisis core....

man....the graphics were more sheethouse than I remembered.....especially the cgi hehehe

it was like lego figurines.

I wasted about 10 hours (first playthrough) just on the basketball shell game in the casino.... was sick in bed though.
 
I wish they still released the new FF's on PC. I spend far too much cash on my PC to be able to afford a console.

PS3 development cost are astronomical.....

a FF7 remake would be a blockbuster game and with so much money invested in FF13 without ANY return yet.... it would suicidal to concentrate on another blockbuster game.

The final fantasy games have always been Square's showcase for graphical extravaganza.

Well Square recently changed their business model and basically stated that remakes alone will keep them in the green for quite some time. There's been a showcase of FF7 running on a PS3 with updated graphics etc as well.

I would imagine Sony wouldn't mind tipping a little into the development costs either, not to mention, it isn't unheard of for companies to develop two titles at once - I hardly think the dev costs are so astronomical that the dev of one game would bankrupt Square.
 
why do you think their other blockbuster franchise Dragon Quest is on the DS?

low development costs for maximum return.

Why do you need PS3 graphics for a remake anyways...... it would be perfect on the PSP with crisis core type graphics.

Would be a must more financially astute decision. ala Dragon quest DS.

PSP also has a much bigger market base than PS3 35 million consoles versus 13 million

Because they want to represent their masterpiece in the best possible way, I imagine. Either way both of us are just theorising, and the costs of development are hardly high enough for Square to dismiss the idea - as evidenced by the fact they appear to be toying with it right now.

Not to mention Japan still represents a huge growth opportunity for next-gen consoles, as there isn't one thats taken hold their yet. Bring out FF&7 on PS3 and you'll sell about 15 million more PS3's in Japan.

I thought they were from the PS3 tech demo? I haven't played Crisis Core though and it would basically be the same scene anyway.

That damn demo, you can't go three months at a time on a decent sized Final Fantasy forum without SOMEONE starting a topic with a link to it saying "THEIR REMAKIN FINAL FANTASIES 7!!1!".

Or the DS which has had about one million FF spin offs and remakes.
 
Square are giving a lot of love to the 360 at the moment too:

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/880/880441p1.html

'June 10, 2008 - Star Ocean 4 was announced today as being in development for the Xbox 360. But as we specified during our blog from Microsoft's big RPG press conference in Japan, the game wasn't strictly referred to as an Xbox 360 exclusive title.

So is the game coming to the PS3 as well?

Square Enix producer Yoshinori Yamagishi cleared things up during a roundtable interview session that followed the press conference. Asked if the game is 360-only, he said, "We cannot announce anything on that. We can say that it will be released first [on the Xbox 360]. Whether we'll release it on the PS3 is undecided. We may release it, we may not."

Looks like, as with Last Remnant, 360 owners get this Square Enix epic first, but PS3 owners may get their own version in the future as well!'


Last Remnant, and now Star Ocean 4 coming to the 360 first, and maybe to the PS3 later?

I haven't enjoyed a good japanese rpg for a long while so sounds good to me. The first Star Ocean was top shelf imo. Great that they are on the 360 as well. Just need Konami to make a new Suikiden and I'll be happy.
