Final Fantasy VII on PS3?

By: Winter Nights On: 01:17 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	Best Buy is prolly the worst place to look up release dates and info at, just after Wal-Mart. Most like, some retard latched on to a rumor in a mag. The date and price is prolly just a random guesstimate, as they have to fill in those fields if they have an item on the website. Web-stores do it all the time. And such an early date alone shows that they really don't know what their talking about. No one that had any clue would put a release date for this year. That's worse than EGM's rumor that it will be released next year.
By: Kionae On: 01:27 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	True... And I don't doubt for one moment that the release date is a load of crap. But the thing is that they have to have a SKU number for an item before they can sell pre-orders. The fact that they've listed it implies that they do HAVE a SKU number, meaning that someone in charge of distribution gave them the ok to list it, ergo the product does, or at least will, exist. And that was my main point... that despite all their denial, SE might be redoing FFVII after all.
By: Winter Nights On: 01:32 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	Not necessarily. This is definitely not the first case of a store listing an FFVII remake in the last year or so.
By: Kionae On: 01:38 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	I just called my local Best Buy. It's in their system, though the release date is 'pending', and the guy told me his screen shows the actual cover art for the title (claims it shows Cloud and Aeris and Sephiroth... astounding that I actually got the one guy who knew anything about FFVII). I might have to go out and see for myself, if they'll let me. :lol: Of course there's always the possibility that he was just being an asshole and screwing with me. The guys out at Best Buy generally suck. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

By: Holy Hell On: 02:16 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	release date shouldn't be an issue. There were rumors to have it released on PS2. Changing it to ps3 shouldnt take too long, considering this crap has been going on for ages.

Seems like there are a lot of other games coming out the same day: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat92300050000
By: Undertakeress On: 03:33 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	I might have to make a journey to my Best Buy to see this myself THANK YOU KIO :@
By: The Man On: 03:44 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	I'm not going to be surprised either way. Square have already been beating FFVII into the ground as it is. But if they redo FFVII, then they must also: Fix the shitty translation. Redo FFVI. I command it. mash:
By: Holy Hell On: 05:12 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	If they take out This guy are sick, I'm going to shoot you in the fucking nuts, Aaron. That's gaming history.
By: Honest Abel On: 05:14 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	If they really do remake it, they need to add more blood when SEPHIROTH KILLS AERIS.
By: Holy Hell On: 05:17 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	I AGREE
By: The Man On: 05:28 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	Holy Hell If they take out This guy are sick, I'm going to shoot you in the fucking nuts, Aaron. That's gaming history. I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about shit like "Attack while it's tail's up!" That's right fucking game designers, give us fucking advice that makes us LOSE THE GAME :@ Also, all the plot ambiguity really needs to be fixed.
By: Winter Nights On: 05:30 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	I seriosuly want to here a voice actor say "This guy are sick" and it sound authentic. And one reason I don't want an FF7 remake.. Mena Suvari. if I have to listen to that bitch for 10-15 hours, I might shoot myself
By: Holy Hell On: 05:30 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	Haha, that was funny. I never fell for it, though.
By: The Man On: 05:32 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	I didn't lose it because of it, but 90% of gamers probably would have. And ehh. Making shit like the Shinra Mansion flashback sequence an actual part of the main story would also help matters considerably, I feel. Considering that 98% of the people who play the game never do that, and even most of the 2% who do often don't have a clue what the fuck was going on with that. When the vast majority of people who play a game don't comprehend its plotline, it's not because it's dark and mysterious, it's because of bad storytelling.
By: Holy Hell On: 05:34 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	>_> They're fucking morons because I understood it.
By: The Man On: 05:35 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	Maybe if you pay careful attention to every detail and, like, take notes while playing the game you'll be able to comprehend the plot without any outside help. But fuck that shit, mang :monster:
By: Honest Abel On: 05:37 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	Aye, I didn't have a problem with it. But it goes without saying that if it's remade, there are definitely going to be additions/clarifications within the story, and more connections to Crisis Core and Advent Children.

But fuck that shit, mang :monster: Team sent to quell monsters Superior soldier finds the truth Goes crazy Disappears freelance mercenary joins rebel faction attacks government soldier comes back! :o go kill soldier! ahhh! 50 hour chase KILL!
By: Honest Abel On: 06:30 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	Perfect example. Most of that list was incorrect. I see Aaron's point now.
By: Holy Hell On: 06:36 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	ahh, because i left all the superfluous crap about hojo, experiments, and promised land? meteor, holy, weapons coming to save the planet, wakawaka
By: Honest Abel On: 06:39 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	No, because Sephiroth doesn't really find the real truth, I wouldn't say he goes crazy, nor is "disappears" the right word, and he doesn't "come back" nor is he chased.
By: The Man On: 06:48 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	Oi. The biggest problem with FFVII's story the way it's presented is that most of the people who don't understand it are somehow led to think they understand it perfectly. Simply because it presents you with "THE REAL ULTIMATE SUPAR CORRECT VERSIAN OF TEH TRUTH" about five times, and each time it's different and... not really the truth. ok, I exaggerate for emphasis, but still.
By: Holy Hell On: 09:26 Jun 14th, 2006 Offline	Abel No, because Sephiroth doesn't really find the real truth, I wouldn't say he goes crazy, nor is "disappears" the right word, and he doesn't "come back" nor is he chased. of course not. Swinging your sword wildly at containers, screaming "are we just like them?!" and then ripping out some contraption speaking about how you will take the world back for "us" to some incomplete body isn't going mad. Not to mention he locked himself in a basement reading and then going on to BURNING AN ENTIRE CITY DOWN IN RAGE AFTERWARDS. Clearly the actions of a sane man who didn't find something he couldn't handle.
By: Michael On: 01:36 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Wow. This one certainly got conversation going. Whilst the chances are high that this whole thing is just a listing error, I'd like to point out a quote from a previous news article, that may shed something of a differen light on the issue... "Since the FINAL FANTASY VII tech demo at E3 2005, there have been a lot of rumors about the presentation hinting at an actual remake. While the June 2006 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly confirms the remake for release in 2007, Square Enix has never stated this." Notice how they didn't outright deny it... they only stated that they never openly announced it... It seems to be happening a lot. Nowhere have they actually said that it's not happening. And we all know how business like to play with words... (I know I'm on a break, but I thought it was worth posting.)
By: Kionae On: 12:18 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	That's one thing that pisses me off about SE. They don't come right out and confirm something, but they don't outright deny it's existance either. Either confirm it and let us drool, or deny it so we can go obsess over something else, dammit!

By: Teh Fucking Moo On: 02:27 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	What a bunch of shit. Seriously. Remaking a game that still works on the latest consoles? While we've still got a ton of games that never got released anywhere outside of Japan to begin with? (see: Dragon Quest VI, Bahamut Lagoon, etc.) This is Jay, and welcome to the Department of Redundancy Department. Welcome, this is Jay.

Add to that Dragon Quest V, Seiken Densetsu 3, Live-a-Live, list goes on and on and on... But yeah, agreed completely.
By: Kionae On: 02:48 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Words of Ivory Surely there's only one reason they wouldn't flat out deny it though... Personally, I think they just get off on tormenting the most obsessive of us. ;)
By: Undertakeress On: 04:16 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	But on the other hand, Squeenix is all about making money. The remakes would put mucho cash in their pockets. Why wouldn't they do it?
By: The Man On: 04:19 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Just because it makes them money doesn't mean we have to like it. xD I of course see your point. But it just goes to further our impression that Square Enix are a bunch of sellouts. xD
By: Honest Abel On: 05:00 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	They are a company. Companies exist to make money. They didn't sell out; they've been true to the cause since the beginning.
By: Winter Nights On: 05:02 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Abel They are a company. Companies exist to make money. They didn't sell out; they've been true to the cause since the beginning. QFT.
By: Holy Hell On: 07:02 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Once again I find myself agreeing with Abel
By: Honest Abel On: 08:05 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	I'm an agreeable chap; I'll be the first to admit it.
By: Winter Nights On: 08:05 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Indeed.
By: Kionae On: 09:13 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	As far as I'm concerned Square Enix can sell out and whore FFVII as much as they damn well please. As long as they keep selling, I'll keep buying. Sad, but true. :lol:
By: The Man On: 09:38 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Abel They are a company. Companies exist to make money. They didn't sell out; they've been true to the cause since the beginning. Nah. When Square was first starting out it was pretty clear that one of their main ambitions, beyond the obvious goal of making money, was to make ambitious and inventive role-playing games that actually broke new grounds in terms of storytelling and character development. You know, what with each Final Fantasy game being set in a completely different world, and featuring a completely different cast of characters, and not having anything to do with the previous title beyond a few similar summons and enemies. Compared to X-2, which has only one new playable character and reuses the exact same world map, and the slew of new FFVII sequels, I think it's pretty safe to say that Square has sold out. Although you could probably just as well say that the people who made Square a worthwhile and inventive corporation have left. I wouldn't disagree with that interpretation.
By: Winter Nights On: 09:40 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Do I have to go into the whole "small companies do their best, cause their desperate for cash and big companies only do enough to keep the cash" speech again?
By: The Man On: 09:42 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	I don't think there's a single bit of that speech that I disagree with. I suppose you could say that as corporations get larger, they tend to "sell out."
By: Winter Nights On: 10:09 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Not necessarily. They just don't have to try as hard to appeal to the masses. Brand name is everything.
By: The Man On: 10:11 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	I'd say not trying as hard equates to selling out
By: Winter Nights On: 10:40 Jun 15th, 2006 Offline	Ehh.. I can see that.
By: Undertakeress On: 03:05 Jun 16th, 2006 Offline	When FFI fist came out, it was a last hope for Square. Now that they've got good footing, I think those enjoying the remakes would outweigh the "selling out" crowd. Either way, we would all end up buying the remakes ;)
By: Michael On: 05:09 Jun 16th, 2006 Offline	Kionae As far as I'm concerned Square Enix can sell out and whore FFVII as much as they damn well please. As long as they keeping putting Reno in them, I'll keep buying. Sad, but true. :lol: Fixxx'd
