Nomura Teasing Final Fantasy VII Remake?

[Rock Raiyu]

Looks like we have two games to look forward.

In the latest issue of Japanese magazine Gamega, Final Fantasy Versus XIII director Tetsuya Nomura teases his next project to be revealed in 2010.

While Nomura couldn’t name his new project, he did drop rather interesting hints on it. Apparently, it’s a yet-to-be-announced game, one that fans have been asking for and many are anticipating; he’s even received personal requests about it. Nomura says there will be a huge reaction to the the game’s announcement.

Sounds a lot like Final Fantasy VII to me.

2010 is going to be a big year for Nomura. Final Fantasy Versus XIII reveal, new project and who knows what else is coming down the line.

People seem to always jump to that "Square Enix fan request = FFVII". I know FFVII is quite popular, but there's a lot of Square games that have needed remakes or sequels.

I'll go with Chrono Cross sequel for $500, Alex.

Oh yeah, and if I called it right there, you bitches owe me $500!

If it is a remake its obviously going to be on the PS3.
I wonder how much a remake would sell?

Weren't xenogears owned by namco now

I agree with this. Only problem is, Nomura has nothing to do with the Chrono Chross. Whereas he contributed to Chrono Trigger. But you may be onto something.

I also think its a possibility that it may be It's A Wonderful World (The World Ends With You) sequel since the ending of the first game hinted at a sequel and it did get many sales.

I think you are talking about Xenosaga.

Oops got muddled up between those two.

I doubt a TWEWY sequel at the moment. Sure, it was quite popular, but it's just not a so-called "legend". Fans would want FFVII or Chrono Cross more than a TWEWY sequel.

And he could just be picking up after Chrono Cross. He didn't work on it, but it's still in line with the Chrono series. Think of it like Call of Duty; the developers (Infinity Ward and Treyarch) switch off every other game. Maybe they'll start doing that for Chrono.

made be

a new Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Kingdom Hearts III
Final Fantasy V DS remake
Final Fantasy VI DS remake
a new Musashi game
FFVII remake
FFVIII remake

i thinking one of the game is KHIII

 

[ZeroTm]

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

 

[Guild McCommunist]

a new Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars: Definitely not. There's been a lot of licensing limbo with SMRPG. I mean c'mon, the last Square Enx and Nintendo collaboration was fucking Mario Hoops.
Kingdom Hearts III: It was already teased at. This is a different project, odds are. Well, now that you think about it, I don't think he'd stretch himself over two huge games...
Final Fantasy V DS remake: It's not a "big" FF title
Final Fantasy VI DS remake: ups
a new Musashi game: Meh, Musashi isn't a big franchise.
FFVII remake: Probably in the Top 2 of guesses
FFVIII remake: FFVIII was the oddball of the Final Fantasy PSX crop. It was drastically less popular than VII or IX

 

[MarkDarkness]

That does not hint FFVII to me at all... and anyway, Square-Enix is gonna hold that card for as long as they possibly can. They will only release it when the freaking studio is about to close and they need a miraculous influx of money.

Capitalism, they call it.

This.

Remember, he expects a "huge reaction" meaning that it's probably something people want but a lot of controversy over if it's really true or not, or was always believed to be false.
FFVII fits best.

If it is FFVII, I personally think SE should just focus their budget on a new/different game rather than remaking VII.
VII is fine as is. They've milked it enough. >.>

 

[Cermage]

i dont get how people go from a "yet to be announced game" and jump straight onto its a remake?

my guess would be another extension to the chrono series.

 

[Elritha]

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 V DS remake: It's not a "big" FF title
Final Fantasy VI DS remake: ups

lolwut

edit: oh and ff7 is overrated shit, but hopefully it gets remade just so all the goddamn fanboys who haven't actually played it will finally play it and realise how shit it is. Plus, even if it has a graphical overhaul, none of it has really aged well.

 

[DemonicChocobo]

While we're making wild random guesses I'd like a sequel to Threads of Fate/Dewprism.

 

[yuki019]

What if it is a FFVII sequel?

I liked IX more.

 

[GameWinner]

if its true, no doubt it'll be on ps3.
i still haven't completed the first disc so i'll get this.

 

[quepaso]

It is coming for SURE to PS3, the FF7 remake. When it gets announced, i will quote this post i made and tell you guys I TOLD YOU SO. I have a buddy who is a insider who has clued me in and everything he has told me has come true 100%, including Yakuza 3 and many others.
