Nomura Teasing Final Fantasy VII Remake?

[Raikiri]

I'd Like a secret of mana 2 remake with more story and less grinding

it doesnt have to be 3-d for all i care! *puppy eyes*

 

[DeltaBurnt]

Oh yes I also forgot to include that if it's a TWEWY remake or sequel I will wet my pants.

Ah, Sqaure makes and has made too many good games...it's hard to guess what they're teasing at.

 

[Prophet]

I personally hope it's a remake of final fantasy IV. I don't feel they've milked that game enough.

They've already had it ported and remade so many times. There's the Final Fantasy Chronicles collection for the PSX, there's the GBA remake, and the DS remake. It's been more than milked. If they make another remake of it no one will give two shits because it's available on so many things.

Could be a Remake of FF8

I dont really like 7....
It didnt appeal to me like 8 did XD

Any final fantasy remake would be good though!
Talk about Nostalgia

 

[yuyuyup]

don't tease

Jeez FF VII is probably the most overrated game ever. Am I the only person who didn't like at all??

I agree that it's heavily over hyped. I wouldn't say I hate it, I just don't see anything special about it. I kinda preferred Final Fantasy VI more.

I never played much of VI, so I can't say much for it, but VII's story is pretty good. Nice and dark.

It is definitely over hyped though.

Final Fantasy VI is far better than VII. It, along with XII and IX, is among my favorites of Square.
A remake for the DS would be splendid.

Now on this speculation with FFVII, you guys have to realize a remake of a 12-year-old game for current-gen consoles is not a good idea. Having a game look like a 2010s title, and play like a 1990s title sounds god awful. The turn-based system seen in IV-IX is quite outdated when it comes to console RPGs, and would not appeal to newer customers. It will be a disaster without drastic changes. BUT! Of course, it would still sell for the nostalgia factor, which leads me to believe that this VII remake might as well be real.

A Chrono sequel might be true, but if I'm not mistaken, Nomura's involvement in both Trigger and Cross were minimal, if not, nonexistent.
My bets on something Kingdom Hearts or VII-related.
Parasite Eve III would be cool.

Whatever it is, I just hope Nomura doesn't write or direct, and that his deteriorating artistic technique does not ruin the game (although I feel this is unavoidable if it is a KH title).

Outdated compared to what console RPG's? The turn based system hasn't seemed to bring something that great or different from classic RPG's. Although I admit I found X-2's system to be fun even though the story sucked. Why should the graphical style affect gameplay at all unless it relied on it? What you are saying seems like playing a game made in 1990s in 2010s would be "god awful." Wouldn't that work the same as VI being remade for the DS?

Not really. The DS is kinda like the last refuge for classic gaming. Most of the titles we play and love on it aren't too different from the SNES games we played 15 years ago, besides some touchscreen support or some. People don't play a portable looking for a hi-def experience, and with a limited number of buttons and not-so-much powerful hardware, we play rather simpler games than those seen on Xbox, PS3, or even Wii. So, we're kinda used to playing these more old-fashioned games on portables, I guess I could say.

If they release a VII-remake that looks like Final Fantasy XIII, it would be dandy if they change the battle system to be more like XIII's as well. Otherwise, the game would be stuck with the outdated concept of random encounters, and a five-choice turn-based battle system. It would just FEEL old, and generic (unless you haven't been playing more than generic JRPGs since 1997).

EDIT: By the way, although I may have made it seem otherwise, I actually have no problem playing a game with an outdated combat system, or shit, even random encounters. A lot of people don't have a problem with it. But most people do, because they expect a newer, fresher experience.

I would prefer something in the manner of BioWare RPGs or like Final Fantasy XII, but it doesn't mean I hate playing old-fashioned RPGs.

why people always say the best final fantasy titles are VII, VIII and IX final fantasy V remake will be the best final fantasy

I believe there is still milk in that teet. I would love to see it remade, as long as it isn't done in 3D. 2D would be great, they could maybe just update some dialog and some of the artwork in the game. They could even release a sequel that looked old school. Like Capcom did with megaman 9.

 

[LonerGoth]

from what I remember of 7, most of the game aside from monsters and characters, was 2d already... it would look more believable if the characters were also 2d.

You think?

Wow, first I'm hearing of that. I've never seen it in my local Toys-R-Us. I hope you aren't just pulling my leg. Now I'm hoping the mystery game is Final Fantasy IV: The After After Years.

Also, Poe’s Law.

 

[LonerGoth]

erm... I forgot to give out my guess to the hugely anticipated game....

I believe it may well be a new game.... not a final fantasy, not a hearts and not a chrono game, but a new game, like twewy was a new game... I'm sure everyone on earth is hugely anticipating another 'new' game....

 

[Deleted User]

I just can't stand it that SE is remaking all those games...Ok they are awesome, but remaking a good title over and over again is just sad. I want the square without the enix.

Nomura already said that the two new games that were unannounced were from existing franchises. One is already hinted at (but basically confirmed) to be Kingdom Hearts 3. This is the other one...which very well may be a FFVII remake.

 

[NSRSM]

I would personally want to see FFV remade or FFIV: The After Years ported to a handheld system.

Wii Ware
Its good, you should get it.


Also, people are running out of Final Fantasy's to "love"

 

[Rock Raiyu]

Just realized. Nomura had something to do with Dissidia. Don't tell me you're going that way Nomura.

 

[NSRSM]

If its a FF: Dissidia sequel I think it is too early for it or should only be done as another anniversary project.

 

[Raiser]

Well according to an article from half a year or so ago..
Nomura announced that a sequel to Dissidia was not gonna happen but may be considered if a large number of fans asked for it.

Even so, Dissidia is definitely not as well known and/or popular as some of the main installments (VI, VII, etc).
