From: The Mana Sword | #397 NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. ABSO ****ING LUTELY NO. THEY ALREADY WRECKED DISSIDIA BY PUTTING IT ON THE PSP. HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST THEY DO IT TO FFVII AS WELL. --- "I would totally audition to be Extha's best friend" - Mer ~*~TEAM RK-VOLTCH'D~*~ |

From: AlecTrevelyan006 | #396 We aren't cowards like Nintendo, we just keep it real. I imagine King Link mostly mopes around his castle letting his servant red sox wash his feet until another Character/Game battle shows up. He's won so much its all he ever knows, and its the only thing he finds enjoyment in(to the point he had neglected his friends and loved ones and will probably die rich, powerful, and alone). --- Around here, I'm the father, the son, and the Holy ****ing Spirit all rolled into one - Red Crow |

Square
fans that have actually been playing the company's most recent games:
based on those, can you tell me if THE REMAKE would even be good? If by most recent games you mean XIV, then yeah, the Remake would be great, man. I can say that because I'm not a fanboy, and I can appreciate it for what it would be. Just a nice remake of a cool game, not the second coming. |
ZFS | Posted 12/19/2010 9:52:01 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
a PSP remake of FFVII would be great, actually. It would cost a lot
less and be a lot more profitable for Square, plus we'd get it quicker
and it'd still be great fun. FFVII remake is definitely suited to the
PSP - that's the right area they would need to do it justice. It'd be
pretty fun having a traditional FF like that on the system. --- The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land. |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #386 You mean like the entire Midgar segment, the best part of FFVII? --- *sigh* Lemme get my TI-83+ ...WTF!? Piece of trash!!*throws it away*~Rodri316 during his proof of why -4^2=16 |
red sox 777 | Posted 12/19/2010 9:53:49 PM | message detail |
No,
a PSP remake would be a bad idea. If Square can no longer put its
biggest games front and center on high powered home consoles where they
belong- something is seriously wrong with their development processes. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
swordz9 | Posted 12/19/2010 9:54:16 PM | message detail |
I
don't even like the game, but if a remake fixed almost everything I
disliked I'd probably be tempted to at least try it. A PSP remake would
be more reasonable and could still look great as far as graphics go. It
would also cost far less. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |

Thinking
about it, it's kind of funny how we've come full circle, in that games
nowadays are sacrificing gameplay to support pretty graphics, but they
won't see without those graphics. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |
gearofages | Posted 12/19/2010 9:54:40 PM | message detail |
FFVII was pretty horrible to begin with. They should just bury it instead of trying to make more money off of it. |
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 12/19/2010 9:55:24 PM | message detail |
From: EvilNcr | #407 I don't know about you, but that game didn't pick up for me until I hit the world map for the first time. Midgar always felt like a chore by the end of it --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |
LeonhartFour | Posted 12/19/2010 9:56:17 PM | message detail |
Midgar was awesome. I never wanted to leave. An FFVII: Midgar Edition would be awesome --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
TheKoolAidShoto | Posted 12/19/2010 9:56:32 PM | message detail |
From: red sox 777 | #408 It took them six years to make a game that is mostly a long line of combat and melodramatic cutscenes. Square-Enix's development cycle is atrocious. --- "You brought your *****, to the waffle hut?" |
paerarru | Posted 12/19/2010 9:56:42 PM | message detail |
Oh, Link would still win, of course. It isn't called NintenFAQs for nothing. Setting: Link's throne room. Link is slumped over in his throne as his loyal servant red sox tries to cheer him up lolz. Exactly. Probably because we actually HAVE a characterization of Link! Oh no, YOU DI'N'T! :D |
red sox 777 | Posted 12/19/2010 9:57:31 PM | message detail |
But
another problem is that FFVII really has a lot of flaws that could be
overlooked or shoved aside on the Playstation, but will come to light
on the PS3 and in the year 2010. I get the feeling a lot of the game
would feel awkward instead of magical. I mean, parts of FFVII have
always looked awkward from the outside, but as a player immersed in the
game you don't notice. Much harder to create that atmosphere
now.......atmosphere is everything. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Square's development cycle is something else. How about that Versus XIII? --- DFF. |

From: KamikazePotato | #417 Final Fantasy Versus XIII more like Hurry up and release the darn thing so we can get KH3 --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
KamikazePotato | Posted 12/19/2010 9:58:52 PM | message detail |
And yeah, FF7 hasn't aged well at all and a remake would really highlight that. Lose-lose situation there. --- DFF. |
The Mana Sword | Posted 12/19/2010 9:59:33 PM | message detail |
I'm
replaying FFVII AS WE SPEAK and the only bad things I'm really thinking
while playing it are "well this could look a little nicer" and "boy
this script is awkward". I don't think there's many flaws in the game that aren't purely superficial. --- This is the kind of **** that allowed the Bhopal incident to happen. 5,000 dead Indians. Want that on your damn conscience, Square apologists? |
EvilNcr | Posted 12/19/2010 10:00:03 PM | message detail |
Square's dev cycle was epic. Square-Enix's dev cycle is abysmal. Square released FFVII-X in about 4 years and Squaresoft took 6 years for FFXII and 4-5 for FFXIII. --- *sigh* Lemme get my TI-83+ ...WTF!? Piece of trash!!*throws it away*~Rodri316 during his proof of why -4^2=16 |
LeonhartFour | Posted 12/19/2010 10:00:10 PM | message detail |
FFVII has aged fine for me, but I play it with NOSTALGIA GOGGLES WHOOSH --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 12/19/2010 10:01:10 PM | message detail |
From: The Mana Sword | #421 The only problem with the that is that if SE went full blown HD with the remake, it would probably bankrupt them (again) --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |
TheKoolAidShoto | Posted 12/19/2010 10:02:24 PM | message detail |
FF12
was a hugely ambitious game, and looking at the end result, the various
previews, the fact that the director had a damn mental breakdown, etc
and you can see Square's deviating from what it knew with 7/8/9/10
didn't go so well. Then there was the FFXIII mess of a development
cycle, and the less said about FF14, the better. --- The 3DS will be $200 or I'm closing my account - Ngamer64 |
The Mana Sword | Posted 12/19/2010 10:03:43 PM | message detail |
Well
that's what I'm saying, I don't think it NEEDS a full-blown HD remake.
Make the graphics look less horrible, give the game a retranslation,
slap on some of those silly bonus dungeons Square seems to love so much
and I'm good to go. --- This is the kind of **** that allowed the Bhopal incident to happen. 5,000 dead Indians. Want that on your damn conscience, Square apologists? |

From: TheKoolAidShoto | #425 FF what now I'm looking forward to that next FF game where the main character's name is going to be THUNDER MCBLIZZARD --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |

Well
guys, it seems the RE4 hype train has come to a screeching halt. I
guess there's nothing left for me here anymore... which can only mean
one thing. I'm off to TIJUANA! (Drives off into the night while blaring "Jumpin' Jack Flash") --- PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES The "Game of the Decade" winner. (In my heart!) |
paerarru | Posted 12/19/2010 10:12:56 PM | message detail |
See
that's the thing, there are some SE fans that just aren't gonna be
pleased, no matter what. And then of course there's the detractors.
This people put SE up on a pedestal of expectations where it never
belonged, nor any company belongs. Too high. Make the graphics look less horrible, give the game a retranslation, slap on some of those silly bonus dungeons Square seems to love so much and I'm good to go. Eh, that wouldn't be a real remake, though. I'm sure it'd be great, but it'd be just a safe upgrade. But that might be their best bet, and probably what they'd go for. They gotta start releasing V and VI for every platform ever made first, though. They're almost done with IV. |

Ugh,
I can't believe the finals are going to turn out exactly as I
predicted, and even after correctly picking a bunch of these tough
matches, I'm going to lose by the smallest amount. I would have ended up winning the whole damn contest and the guru if Half Life 2 > Metroid Prime happened.

watching Leon convince himself that FFX isn't gonna get destroyed is

Great
job by FFX here! Nice job by what would be a worthy GOTD. Though after
the Giants game I'm a bit paranoid it'll somehow blow this match
>_> I was telling people that they were underrating FFX (all those people saying TP>FFX like it's a given), but I certainly didn't expect this. Brawl is still the clear favorite but at least a new challenger has appeared! --- Save_Us.Teedus |

SabrielAbhorsen | Posted 12/19/2010 10:33:36 PM | message detail |
Just
curious, what other games have taken such a hit for trying to become
more casual-friendly than its predecessor? The only one I can think of
off-hand is Yoshi's Story, which was still fun in its own right but
ultimately deserves the hell it caught. I know the Melee/Brawl stuff ended a few pages back, but I just wanted to comment here. It would seem that this reaction from the hardcore community is not an uncommon one. Some games I can think of where there were similar feelings from the competitive community in the jump from one game to another: Starcraft->Starcraft 2, Team Fortess Classic->Team Fortress 2, Modern Warfare->Modern Warfare 2 I'm not saying that there isn't some validity to these complaints, but I think it's true that the hardcore competitive community likes to get somewhat set in its ways and is weary of anything that perturbs the nature of the game too much in their eyes. Maybe there are a lot of counter-examples I'm not aware of though? --- Inter-planetary-mega-stellar-hydro-static. There's no gravity between us. Our love is automatic. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 12/19/2010 10:34:58 PM | message detail |
From: ExThaNemesis | #443 Then prepare to be baffled because I'm not sure why TP > FFX became such a given. It'd be a good match, in all likelihood. I recognize FFX is the underdog, and I'm fine with that. But do we really think RE4/KH2 is 50/50 1-on-1 nowadays? --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |

LeonhartFour | Posted 12/19/2010 10:38:04 PM | message detail |
From: ExThaNemesis | #446 So why does it have to be that RE4 just isn't any good and FFX isn't actually putting up a solid performance here? Brawl isn't 60/40ing this thing. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |

Forget that, I'm still waiting for the FF5/6 DS remakes they promised but never delivered. Well yeah, that would work too, full remakes. They did say they're still "looking into" those. Anyways, awesome showing X! I feel a lot more confident going in against MM now... if it can get past MGS3, which I still worry about. |
