What's up with Square-Enix

[GundamGuy]

i don't think remaking FF7 would be a bad move. i doubt with such a project square-enix would mess that up in anyway. i'm sure they'd totally overhaul that game in every way shape and form. square is known for churning out THE best of rpg's, especially with its final fantasy series. i've yet to sit down, spend hours upon hours on a FF game and think to myself: "wow, this game completely sucks..." i think anyone who bad mouths any FF game so far probably shouldn't even be playing rpg's.

True RPG'ers know that most FF's are not that great.

The Square-enix party is in a week i think. So we'll know then

define a true rpg'er if there's an actual definition for one? or would it just be one of your opinions?

Yes that's why they made around 20 something final fantasy games. because they suck *sarcasm off*



The only ones that sucked to me are "FForigins","FFTactics", "FF11", and The one's on game boy. All the others are good.

actually, i take it back about no FF games sucking. cuz i forgot i really hated FFX.

Your right they are good..... FFT is great... Most of the others are just good.

Not Great... as in "not that great"

I believe you forgot FF:MQ...

Yes your right... However they have announced what will be shown off and It was not on the List. So I would not hold your breath...

They're supposed to be having a party to show off a few upcoming games, like FF12.

Gundam, can you post the list of games that will be there?

edit: damn youre fast

So they are going to be showing Advent Children at the party. Does this mean that it is coming out soon? (I havn't been keeping up with it) When is it supposed to hit the U.S.A.

I think the fact that the FF series is the most hotly contested RPG series' in existance proves that there's something to it. I doubt a series that "isn't all that great" would get so much attention from gamers world-wide, nor would it have such a huge legion of devoted fans.

I play the "original" style paper&dice games, is that true RPG enough? But I can still enjoy FF-games, so they can't be that bad...

An FF7 remake would be okay for me, but it seems they just won't make it and that's it. No need to argue over it.

Yeah, it'll come out soon enough... September 14th, to be exact.

I'm wondering if Square-Enix's insistance that the tech demo was nothing more then that wasn't them trying to pull the wool over fans eyes about the possibility of an FF7 remake. I may be wrong, but I think S-E doth protest too much, y'know what I mean?

the same thing happend with the FFVIII Tech Demo... just to a lesser extent because you know FFVIII was not very old at the time... and not as many people saw logic in remaking FFVIII....

Who knows though they might just spend 80-500 Million on remaking FFVII...

Square-Enix spends a hell of alot on there big name games.

Don't take it the wrong way... I was just replying to someones notion Square makes the Best RPG's and paticulary the FF series..... Great Series for casual RPG fans sure... HardCore RPG fans... It's Ok, but not the best ever.

The fact of the matter is Square-enix is a business. If they remake FF7, it will sell out and they will make money. That 's why Dawn of Souls sold so well even though it was only a gba port. And I don't care how many people tell themselves that they don't want a remake because as soon as it comes out, they will be buying it simple as that. Plus, it's what gamers want. They wouldn't be doing this whole FF7 compilation thing in the first place if people didnt want more FF7.

My point of view is that they wouldn't be making these shitloads of remakes of FF7 if they could make anything else that would guarantee tons of money. They're just playing it safe by depending on the huge FF7 fanbase. I'd also like to point it out that FF7 has been around for quite some time, with a great demand for a sequel/remake, so they could've done one already, if they wanted to.
FF12 should be quite good, it has a good team working on it (FFTactics, Tactics Ogre, Vagrant Story).
As for the other FF games... some of them are not that great, and they're definitely not that much of a RPG, in the exact sense of the word. However, they have great story, and fun battle systems (...sometimes), they have evolved into a different species, RPGs with anime feeling. It's all good, just don't try to compare FF to Fallout...
