What's up with Square-Enix

[pkt-zer0]

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...
