Well yeah, they announced that they were gonna make it handheld from what i heard, and thus Chain of memories was created....because at the time ( Methinks) the PSP wasnt out yet, and I suppose they needed a real storyfiller for the upcoming KH and diddnt wait on the PSP....

Is it even possible for them to have enough manpower to even begin to work on a remake of VII?


Ever since Squarenix combined, I have no doubt they have a shitload of manhours and manpower pumping out alot of games....Hell they made 3 offical release titles in one week....I know one was Radiata stories, and the other was FMA2....Dunno what the third one was, I think it was some gameboy game....^^ ;;;

My line about Stirring up Controversy was quoting Sajin... [blockquote=Master Sajin]1- why would they lie about it/ Spurr up some controversy? [/blockquote]

^^;

Anyways.... yes... remember that one time that EGM said that there'd be a KH game for the PSP? Even though we all know that the rights to all handheld games from that franchise are to Nintendo and Nintendo alone. ^^;

technically, it wouldn't be lying since all of it is just speculation. and i never said controversy, i said 'curiousity'. Just felt like pointing that out.

a lot of fans have been dreaming of a remake. Often, they go and try make every little thing a sign that the remake is going to happen. As far as i'm concerned, the tech demo was nothing more than simply a tech demo. Until SquareEnix, not Game Informer or OPM, officially announces that there will be a remake, then there will be no remake.

and also, game magazines have been wrong before. It's not like they fail the moment they make one mistake.

Stirring up controversy? Sounds like every other video game company ever...

... bout fucking time Square got with the program...

ANYWAYS....

Wouldn't it take like... a team of 300 people and 5 years to remake FFVII completely with new graphics?

....That dosent make sence either,

1- why would they lie about it/ Spurr up some controversy?

I mean sure they have a "Whats the Buzz" section ( Or am I thinking of OPM? ) but thats for fan submissions that are on their messageboards. But it was a part of released console games like Unreal Tournament 07, some RTS game that looked unreal, and then that screenshot of FF7....If they lie, people would bitch, and Squarenix would probially say something about it on their main site.....

2- If they are doing it for money.....

Im sure Square would say something about it....

The new playstation magazine ( The one with the Ps3 offical Controller and platform on the cover) stated its offical hardware, and has announced that they are indeed still taking the $100 gamble to not only make it cheaper than the 360, but to prove that Sony will triumpth in the ocnsole, the games, and the online entertainment.

Almost all of my friends said that Sony is gonna bomb, but who knows, all I know is that I already reserved one for the entire set, Reserved Unreal Tournament 07 and MGS4, and I still think that they have something up their sleeves.

The Current "Buzz" is that Games will be updated on the 40GB HDD thats inside the new PS3 (80 GB for the platnium set ). Now if the game isnt perfect enough (and expensive) Sonyonline can just improve the game by adding in extra levels and stuff like how Halo 2 was tried with the expansion disc or whatever....

What a perfect way of putting this on FF7, updating weapon damage, adding extra monsters, the list goes on, and I have no doubts that Sony will make this. I mean hell FF7 made millions on its first week. If they remade this they could make even more money that ever thought possiable! ( I mean shit on the back gameinformer said 'quite possiably th best game ever made' )

BUT....if they lied about all that I have stated above, not only companies would bitch, but the people would as well....Everyone knows that its not settled in stone yet about the online update feature, but if Gameinformer lied about FF7 not being redone, lied about misread specs and shit....Gameinformer would more than likely fall....They know what they are talking about....

But well see, it could happen, then again it might not...

Edit- I spelled not....now.....

actually, there was a typo in my post. i meant to say "what are they getting at" instead of "what are you getting at". Square has announced so many times before that they aren't gong to make it. I wouldn't be surprised if GI put that screenshot into their magazine merely to spark some curiousity.

Did you read what I said about the gameinformer magazine? Square announced they are going to make it.

Or maybe its all bullshit, who knows, time will tell

To be honest, I find it EXTREMELY unlikely that they would. First, let us examine this screenshot, it's graphics specifically. Those are not PS3 graphics, those are PS2 style. PS2 picture most likely from Dirge of Cerebus.

Thus, I highly doubt there will be a remake.

Btw, the Buster Sword is clearly not made more "realistic" in that screenshot. It's only being seen from an angle. Plus, his left foot is there...you can even see the left edge of it.


Don't forget they're working on three entirely different FF games based off of XIII as of currently.

I'd link to sources, but I'll be lazy. But its not like its a secret, its all over.

Yay for FFXII and 3 FFXIII games in the making right now and we haven't even gotten one yet.

I have no idea what the hell's been going on concerning the PS3.

All I can really say is that's an amazing picture right there...

And I would buy a PS3 immieditly if they decided FF7 was to be remade on it.

Well the Tech demo was announced that it was just to show how the Graphics are on the PS3...I highly doubt -Maybe- that the tech demo was actually just something to impress us all.

I bet Square got tierd of people begging them to remake it. And then of course they might have realised that they will make millions on this game....

Also, how long did it take to make Advent Children? I saw screenshots of it on Gameinformer in 2002 with barret smling at Tifa before he unloaded at bahamut....

I also agree, It would take them years to remake this game...But then again, perhaps this was a secret project that we diddnt know about? Who knows

Also, I remember reading in some interview that it took Square months to make that tech demo. Think of how long it would take them to remake the entire game.

Yeah I thought of this as well. But you have to think, Enix may have screwed up the actual buster sword to express "Realism" or something....and then I keep looking, and im thinking it could actually be the angle...

Either way, Im seriously impressed

I think you just can't see his feet because of the angle.

I also remember a friend of mine linking me to a page where Final Fantasy VII Remake is up for the PS3, but "Unreleased" yet you can take an order for it ... I think it was Best Buy.

I don't know what to think. If they remake it, that'll be cool. Even though I like dozens of RPG's over FFVII, I'd still play it and it would be great. But I wouldn't be surprised -at all- if this never happens.

And that's my only thought, really.

Edit: Also, I'd guess he's missing his foot because it's behind him - he looks like it's an on-one-knee pose, or close to.

Well, have any of you guys read the newest Gameinformer with the new Zelda game as its cover? So I skip along, find a couple of pages about Upcoming PS3 games, and then I noticed.

FF7 Remake screenshot

The picture looks nothing like the Tech Demo that was released to show how awesome the PS3 was, but more along the lines of actual gameplay.


Not much information was givin....But by the looks of this screenshot, I can seriously start hoping for the FF7 Remake...

Edit- Lol I just noticed this, Look at Clouds Left leg....hes missing his fooot for some odd reason....Well, The gameinformer magazine had both of his legs in this same screenshot

I even signed the Online Petition

So....your thoughts?
