In an interview with Japanese gaming magazine Gomega, Tetsuya Nomura, father of Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy stylist, and co-conspirator on lots of other Square-Enix titles, promised a game that is highly requested by fans - some personally requested it from him, and the reaction he expects from the announcement is downright huge.

Yeah, yeah... FF VII remake or I'm "fucking dead"... you are the fourth just today... this is getting tiresome.

So, which is it? Kingdom Hearts III? A remake of the biggest Final Fantasy ever, VII? Well, either way, the huge array of fans will be rejoicing!
I put my bets on the Final Fantasy VII remake.

2010 seems to be a big RPG year! Versus info, Agito info and probably a FFVII remake! If it has been asked for a long time it couldn't be anything else than a FFVII remake. I'm not hyping yet because Nomura has a habbit of exaggerating things. The announcement will probably be at E3, I can imagine it already: FFvXIII trailer - FFaXIII trailer - FFXIV trailer + release date "and if you thought that's all: - FFVII remake announcement!

Nomura really needs to finish the rest of the games that have ALREADY been announced. Hey, it's great if he wants to make these games, but if he's going to spread himself so thin that it takes twenty years for any of them to come out, no thanks.

Rade

Dec 27 2009, 06:48 PM

Just because Nomura said that a highly requested game is going to be announced, doesn't necessarily mean that he's the one who's mainly working on it. It could be the guy who directed Crisis Core, or maybe it'll be whoever worked on XIII now that that's done. Even if it is a FFVII remake, and even if Nomura does direct it, it's a remake, so they already have the scenario and character designs and everything all worked out, and all that would really need to be done is to direct and animate new cutscenes and recreate everything in current graphics and then record voices.

To be honest, if they use the same engine that runs FFXIII and they start working on a remake next month, it could be out sometime in 2011, because they barely have any pre-production work to do or any new engines to create. It's like with new IP's, they take years to come out because the developers build a new engine and have to come up with a brand new world and everything, but the sequel only takes a couple years to come out because they only have to come up with a new story and model some new environments and characters, and a remake of VII even has an advantage there because the story is already written, so it could even take less than two years to be made.

I fear he is talking about Kingdom Hearts PS3.

As Rade pointed i hope that SE begins to make games for ps3 quickly now that they have the crystal engine built. I dont want them to make a new engine to each new game.

FoX

Dec 27 2009, 06:59 PM

I would choose FFVII remake with FFXIII combat system mixed with materias, or with FFX-2 combat systems (Ability to Combo & "Semi Real Time" battle, i'm not talking about jobs) ... would be fun & fast & graphic !
But, is a FFVII's remake risky ? Fans would be hoping a lot about the game, and maybe FFVII doesn't fit well with high end graphics etc ? (Just a supposition though... )

Rade

Dec 27 2009, 07:03 PM

As Rade pointed i hope that SE begins to make games for ps3 quickly now that they have the crystal engine built. I dont want them to make a new engine to each new game.

Well with brand new Final Fantasy's and other games it would still take more than two years because they would have to come up with a brand new story with new character's and everything. But my point with VII is that they already have the engine, and they already have the storyline and characters, so they're half done already.

Most likely KHIII though.

FFXII_Fanboy

Dec 27 2009, 07:18 PM

Either one of these:

- FFVII Remake
- KHIII
- TWEWY 2
- Dissidia II

EDIT: I think it will be TWEWY 2 as the company that made it (called Jupiter) has not released a single game since it came out. KHIII is by the Versus XIII team so that's not it. Could be FFVII Remake but Kitase team only just finished FFXIII. It could be Dissidia II.

IMO, it's most likely TWEWY 2 or Dissidia II.

I LOVE FFVII but I hope thats not it. I still think its too soon. I'm still enjoying the original FFVII and I could wait another 3-5 years for an announcement. I just hope if they do remake it they do it right, and get every detail back and make the game even better. If they dont FFVII fans like me will be soon calling for a re-remake, lol!

I don't care if FFVII isn't a full remake without a lot of the sidequests and things. I just want to be able to play through the story in a modern way, because I just can't be bothered playing through the cumbersome shit that is the original now.

Oh who am I kiddin, it's most likely the fabled VII remake. Since he just warped up KH:BBS,
I doubt he'd just announce KH III.

Falsate

I doubt it will be a FFVII Remake since they can hold that for later.

BBS is just a prequel and a small title, so.. it's only an announcement.

novaheaven

Dec 27 2009, 09:42 PM

Yea but it's still canon to the story, and that alone gives it as much merit as KH I & II.
PSP or not.

I'm just sayin that he'd want people to absorb its story first before looking forward to another KH game.

Hmm, tho thinking over. I figured they'd remake FF V & VI before a PS3 VII remake.
since I-IV all had revisions and remakes. It just seems that they would remake them in order or somethin.

Arashi XIII

Dec 27 2009, 09:54 PM

I for one would love an FFVII remake, but I can only imagine the outlash/hating from fans once it came out. They would most likely change the battle system, tweak the materia system, and rework the script... Which would obviously be blasphemous to the "hardcore" fans. The game had silly and cute moments that worked well for a sprite game, but they probably wouldn't translate well into a "realistic game" (which is what I'm assuming it would be) Luke the whole Cloud cross dressing thing wouldn't happen - he'd probably sneak in and save the girls or something like that... I don't mind if they change small details to make it more relevant to the realistic look... But I can only imagine how enraged half the fans would be... And let's not forget that the English VA's would be killed and it being on the 360 too would be the end of the world.

Falsate

Dec 27 2009, 09:58 PM

They don't have to change the encounter system, I mean when I think about an FFVII Remake, FFX's come to mind.

By that, I mean in a fully blown 3-D World with the whole random encounters tacked on. I have witnessed some veterans stating aremake will ruin the game completely. Some of them can be a bit dull..

Many might wonder what the reaction would be to a multi-platform release.
e: I agree with Rade. All that action was just awesome.

Rade

Dec 27 2009, 10:00 PM

If they remade it they had better redesign the battle system... You can't watch a movie like Advent Children which is set in the FFVII world and then go and play a regular old turn based system like that.

FFXII_Fanboy

Dec 27 2009, 10:02 PM

LOL! Everyone is so sure it's an FF? I still think that it's mostly TWEWY 2. Here's why:

- Game came out in 2007.
- Team that made it called Jupiter have not released a game since.
- Interview on SQEX Members has the director saying that people have been asking for a sequel.
- Nomura said that it was a new IP (meaning new series)

Rade

Dec 27 2009, 10:14 PM

- Nomura said that it was a new IP (meaning new series)

He said that in a different interview and could be referring to a completely different game.

Arashi XIII

Dec 27 2009, 10:19 PM

I feel like random encounters is going "backwards" in terms of design. I imagine the battle system would be a mix of XIII's and X-2... since they're all about creating cinematic action sequences in their battles. They'd probably keep/refine the materia system though.

Either way, half the fans will hate it no matter what they do... Lol. It's probably not a 7 remake though... I imagine that wouldcome out in 2017 (20th anniversary).

I hope it's a console version of Dissidia 2 or something, lol... But we'll find out eventually.

I'm with you. If he's been getting personal requests than it must be from Japanese people. TWEWY was a huge hit in Japan and for it to get a sequel would be huge news as it would confirm that it's a new SQEX series and not a one off game.

Ffamran mied Bunansa

Dec 27 2009, 11:42 PM

This is so exciting. It'd be awesome to have a FFVII remake with next generation active time battle system like in FFXIII and everything else in the game enhanced! With biased, I like kingdom hearts fighting style, but that would completely rid of what gamer valued of the original FFVII.

OR, on a personal note, I want a FFVIII remake. LOL. Ahhh.. it is okay that more people liked FFVII, I still love love love love love FFVIII! Won't more people be pissed if FFVIII rather than FFVII is to be having a remake?

novaheaven

Dec 27 2009, 11:45 PM

To be honest I'm not really hyped. I'll be happy with whatever it ends up being I'm sure.
Even if it is TWEWY 2, I friggin adored the artwork for that game.

Jeez I really wish Nomura and Square would stopping talking and just show us at least a glimpse of what's to come for all the projects they talk about.
Even tho what they say lives up to expectations most of the time, they really should try to hype things up with more than just magazine interviews nowadays ha ha

It's been a habit for them to do a lot of talking. I want to see something.

Dec 27 2009, 11:52 PM

As much as I love TWEWY, I do hope that they don't go and try to add more story to it. The game was tied up pretty nicely.

BUT I wouldn't mind another game that uses the same sort of concept (pins, dual screen battles). AND the same sort of artwork <333 That damn thing was a piece of art.

For FF7 remake - I am fairly neutral to it. On one hand I would like to see the game in glorious HD, but hey, wouldn't it be better if the game is kept as is?

Chronologically... it would have to be a V remake. But who gives a crap about V? Now VI, THAT'S been widely asked for.... second to VII ofc.

I don't think it's gonna be a VII remake for the sake of the fact that they've done things chronologically.. so V and VI DO need to come out sometime.

Dec 28 2009, 01:54 AM

While I'd be happy enough with a remake of V and VI, those belong on the DS (obviously) and that doesn't warrant the excitement that is implied to this announcement. If it a highly requested game , and the reaction will be huge, it HAS to be a VII remake. It can't be KHIII, I mean... to me that's not HUGE. I love KH, but I really hope that's not it, I'm not ready for KHIII yet and I'll be disappointed if that's what this big announcment is.

SE kept denying a FFVII remake, but I've said for years that they have been secretly working on it. That or they are quite impressed by how well the original did on PSN and they want to make more money off it since they KNOW they'll get it.

As much as I love VII, I find it annoying to play anymore. I hate having to hold a button to run and using the D-pad, AAARRGHHH! It's a pain in the ass. Oh and the graphics hurt my used-to-HD eyes :)

I only hope this announcement is worth while.

I would laugh if that ever happens.

And I hope its not a FFVII remake. Can you imagine the complaints it would receive if they 'change' too much? I know FFXIII received alot of hate already, a remake of FFVII would recieve twice as much cause the fans expectations are high and most likely say in the end "The original was much better :aldo: "

But its S-E...they live for the money and sleep in it. Anything can happen.

Dec 28 2009, 02:35 AM

They remade FF3 (8 bit ehhh) and 4 (16 bit) for the DS. There's also Dragon Quest games, but I don't know too much about them other than there were old ones and some got remade.

Can you imagine the complaints it would receive if they 'change' too much?
There are going to be complaints anyway.
"Walking with the d pad was classic!"
"The music was better as midis!"
"The graphics are awful!"

And even if if they don't change anything:
"Why didn't they add anything? NOOOOO."
"Why does the music suck?"
"I WANT NEW"

tl;dr: people will never be satisfied.

Dec 28 2009, 03:20 AM

oh my goddd don't even start to think about FFVII. THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT.

I think that the ONLY time FFVII will be announced is when there was NO EXPECTATION OF IT.

Tetsuya and whoever at SE will talk a big game about 'the most asked for game' and it will turn out to be Kingdom Hearts or something like Front Mission.

BUT when no one's expecting it, and some silence has passed, they will open up a teaser site and not tell you about it, and on that teaser site my friends, will be the trailer for FFVII remake. That is the one and only way it will happen. They dont need to build anticipation for FFVII. All they need to do is say the words or show a trailer. That's it.

That's why until they shut up, no announcement will have anything to do with FFVII.

xandder

Dec 28 2009, 10:01 AM

Ive Played all the games and I can safely say that FFVII is my favourite followed by FFVI. FFVIII is always gonna be at the bottom just because the chaacters were aweful IMHO, I only liked Quistis, and Rinoa to a certain extent, but thats more after watching the Dead Fantasy stuff, I Just fell in love with what the character could of been. Anyways Back to the subject on hand, Im all for a FFVII remake, because like many have stated, replaying the classic version now is almost coma inducing, it does actually make me fall to sleep, the graphics hurt my eyes so i find myself shutting them, hence the sleep lol.

Also I would want them to change almost everytthing bar the story really, the battle engine has to be updated to FFXIII standards, while keeping/tweaking the Materia system, More Customisation allowed on characters in terms of armour and accessories (FFX) more sidesquests, more focus on summons, to say that this game had some of the best summons, and a lot of emphasis was put on the materia and 'magic/lifesream' nothing was mentioned about the summons, and what they were. So maybe a system like FFX where they have a back story and actually become revelant would be perfect. The option to fight all the W.E.A.P.O.N.S. would be good aswell. Also Just add Vincent and Yuffie into the story properly, not leaving them as optional, I would like to see them in the FMV's. The story would also have to be updated aswell, interms of language and how the whole thing is delievered, they would also have to add a whole bunch of new scenes just to flesh it out, adding more emphasis on Zack and Aeris, when appropriate, and the whole FFVII/FFX connection could be touched upon when talking about the history of the planet with Bugenhagen (or how ever you spell it lol)

Using the materia system from FF-CC would be good aswell, interms of making and adding special attributes to the Materia you already have, Maybe this could be a way of actually unlocking new summons aswell, that could be a pretty good idea, like say you have a bunch of rare useless materia that is good for nothing, but when combined forms a summon even better than KOTR. Speaking of summons, I know i mentioned a system like FFX, but only interms of being able to add skills, I would still want them to show up, do their thing then leave, but maybe set 'gambits' to them that say maybe you summon them against a water foe, they maybe have a gambit that makes them use an attack that is strong against water etc, would be more interesting that just having them use just the one attack.

Well i best stop because if i carry on i wont be able to do, But im all for a Remake of FFVII, it can only improve, i dont get why ppl moan about changing too much, thats the whole point in remaking it, to make the gameplay/graphics/story and characters better!, you cant really make the story anyway worse when you are bascially just retelling it with extra stuff!

I can safety say that IT IS a FFVII remake. The release date is going to be in early 2012 since it's going to be the franchise 15th years anniversary. Good timing really. VII had many flaws, the story was all over the places. The graphic is bad from our generation point of view and also after fast paced final fantasy like X-2, XII and XIII the battle system in VII might get a bit boring.

I say it deserves a remake alright.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....yyyyyyyy?
Explain! LOL. FFVII remake would be a great idea, I find that this "classic" gets so much attention from SE that it has a load of spin-off merchandise already. Perhaps, the overlooked FF titles get a chance to shine again in the public. Not necessarily VIII, it could be any other FF title worth a remake on PS3 or not. Personally, I would like VIII to be remade, but VII or IX or any other is well worth a remake. What's the deal with the extreme statements "the worst in the bunch" "always at the bottom" or even "the best of the best" without reasonable substantiation. Kinda makes me sad VIII is hated like that. lol

I mean bottom for me, I know that other ppl loved it. Its just that I just found the characters either really boring ie Squall/ Irvine, or really annoying/useless ie Selphie, Zell and the whole 'past' thing is really annoying aswell, i could accept it if the other characters (laguna, Ward and Kiros) was exciting or engaging, but I find it hard to care about them at all. The only characters that i do like are Quistis, Edea (servearly underused IMHO) and Rinoa. I did like the story to some extent, but I found the whole love aspect really annoying when its really only went one way, the love coming from Rinoa, I just found it hard to believe that she would fall in love with someone like Squall who displayed about as much emotion as a wallnut lol

I would accept any remake of any of the games, but the top of my list consists of FFVII, FFVI and FFIX and then probably FFVIII, i suspose they could make me love the other characters once i actually hear them, they could sound so much better and convey the type of emotions I wanted to feel while playing the game, I did actually like Squall/Leon in the KH games, but nothing and I mean NOTHING is ever gonna make me like Zell and Selphie... EVER lol

Dec 28 2009, 04:15 PM

my bet is:

That this game will be Kingdom Hearts 3.
They allready got a few FF titles for the PS3 ( Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy Crystal Defenders)

And they dont have any Kingdom Hearts games for the PS3
So the most logic thing they can do is to make kingdom hearts 3 for the ps3.

Then they maybe do a Final Fantasy VII Remake or Final Fantasy XV for PS 3.
Then they will move to the next generation.

But who knows.. Maybe he is working on Final Fantasy VII Remake AND Kingdom Hearts 3.
Once again. only time will tell

Dec 28 2009, 08:18 PM

Also I would want them to change almost everytthing bar the story really, the battle engine has to be updated to FFXIII standards, while keeping/tweaking the Materia system, More Customisation allowed on characters in terms of armour and accessories (FFX) more sidesquests, more focus on summons, to say that this game had some of the best summons, and a lot of emphasis was put on the materia and 'magic/lifesream' nothing was mentioned about the summons, and what they were. So maybe a system like FFX where they have a back story and actually become revelant would be perfect. The option to fight all the W.E.A.P.O.N.S. would be good aswell. Also Just add Vincent and Yuffie into the story properly, not leaving them as optional, I would like to see them in the FMV's. The story would also have to be updated aswell, interms of language and how the whole thing is delievered, they would also have to add a whole bunch of new scenes just to flesh it out, adding more emphasis on Zack and Aeris, when appropriate, and the whole FFVII/FFX connection could be touched upon when talking about the history of the planet with Bugenhagen (or how ever you spell it lol)
- i'm not sure how drastically you want the battle system to change. you want ff7 to have the same system where you add attacks into a sequence bar? that's ripping off of ff13 too much. i say it should keep the good ol' active time battle bar, but update the camera angles and stuff like that to resemble ff13.
- materia system definitely needs to be upgraded. i especially hate the parts where your character loses everything, and then you have to reassign it all. shits annoying.

- i've said it once, twice, thrice before... vincent and yuffie should've been plot characters. when i was playing through the game over the summer, i got stuck on one part, so i checked an online walkthrough. lucky for me, at that exact point in the game, i was able to get vincent. i could've gotten yuffie a "little" bit earlier. all i kept thinking to myself was, "wow, i can't believe i could've missed the chance to get yuffie AND vincent". i mean, i KNOW they're characters in the game, i've seen and heard many things about them over the years, so i was looking forward to using them (especially vincent)... but oh.. they're OPTIONAL characters. what a load of shit. it's not even that hard to make them mandatory characters.

- yuffie is found in the forests right? well, when you're walking in the overworld at one point in the game, design the map so it forces you to walk through a forest --- BAM, have yuffie appear.
you need a key for vincent's room right? first of fucking all, don't make the god damn key so hard to see in the safe. secondly, don't put his room in the shadow of a corner, jeez man. thirdly, a way for your character to force himself into vincents room... well, any story is fine by me.
character A - "i wonder what's in that room?"
character B - "idk, let's check it out!"

pkease VII story was all over the place.

They started off as some rebellious group going against Shrinra and ended up with some guy destroying the planet with a meteor. It was everywhere, I'm not saying that they should change it completely, just rearrange the story so that it could flow better. Also what's the point of a remake if they don't improve it or make changes to it?

They're going to update the battle system whether you like it or not. I mean if they mix the battle system of X-2 and XIII togheter, you'll be able to control all 3 characters as well as giving multiple commands. I thought of how to do it in my head yesterday but it owuld be just complicated to express the idea online. That way they'll be able to get the action sequences close to Advent Children as well as making it feel like a final fantasy game.

FFIX started with a group of thieves trying to kidnap a princess, and ended with some guy destroying his planet with his new powers, and then trying to destroy another planet, so the story must've been all over the place in that too, right?

IMO if they did remake Final Fantasy VII, it would be better to just leave the story alone, keep the turn based battles but make the camera similar to what Lost Odyssey had in battles. And change the fixed camera into a third person view out of battles. And maybe tweak the materia system a little.

I hated Final Fantasy 7 but it's not like I didn't expect them to eventually remake it, I just thought it would come in much later years(i was thinking the 20th anniversary of FF7, that's what someone else implanted in my head). I am upset though I really just wanted them to leave it alone. I want a Final Fantasy 6 remake.

I don't know where all this 'VI on PS3/360' is coming from, but it should be ported to the DS. If anything, V on the DS.

Final Fantasy VI deserves PS3, just as much as FFVII. Hell, SE's so rich, why don't they make some sort of bundle, Final Fantasy Anthology, type of thing? That would please everybody.

As for haters of FF8 on here, I must also agree on many points on where the game failed, though in my mind, whenever a person says "the characters sucked" (and i say that myself) I think "but you don't even know the real characters." Imo, the main characters are: Squall (duh), Rinoa, Seifer, Ellone, Laguna, and Edea. And would you look at that? Those are six characters. The original party is formed of six characters BUT they are only PCs. PCs- playable characters, and to me that's all they are. You just use them for battle but they're no more important than that, in my mind.

I liked FF8's love story, Rinoa and Squall's scene on the Ragnarok (which i still have a save file of) was beautiful especially with Eyes on Me playing in the background, my fave FF theme song. That scene also inspired me to keep at my dream of becoming a writer because the emotion I felt from that scene is the emotion I want people to feel when they read my books or see my movies.

eh? ff7 came out in 1997. it's been 13 years already. how is that "too soon"? :|
and because the game was released on the psn recently, that should be more than enough incentive for the fans to want a remake.

idk about you, but the main reason why i played ff7 is BECAUSE there is a possibility of a remake. i don't wanna be one of those people who only played the ps3 version. (i also had to see what all the hubbub was about regarding the original...)
if an announcement comes this year, shit... don't expect it to hit for a while. i assume a 1-2 year wait is in order.

This.

That scene was the most memorable out of ANY scene from a FF. The emotions just kept building up until its all let out in that scene. AND THE SONG :D GOD. <3 I love Faye Wong already, that game made me love her more and more.

But Seriously. This is Nomura we are talking about.

It might be something really, really surprising.

Even though there are things I would like to complain about a FF7 remake, I do feel a bit guilty that I want there to be a remake. I guess its not totally impossible. The 3D world was somehow established in later entries in the FF7 compilation such as Crisis Core (amazing game, btw.) and Advent Children. I just want to see other FF getting more love. (namely, 6, 8, and 9)

Though, if its a remake of any FF game, it would make sense to be V on the DS or something. However, this is logically thinking. When had SE ever been logical in making their games?

All V had going for it was an insane job system, but other than that, I really didn't like it that much. I'm just playing through FFVI on my DS (the GBA port, but yeah), and as much as I like it, it's almost unplayable because of how old it is. I know it won't happen, at least not yet, but I'd love to have a PS3 remake of FFVI.

Though, $10 says it really IS the announcement of FFVII's remake. Not that I would mind, I did like the game, until it turned into the Compilation of FFVII.

1) No longer having to imagine the game in updated graphics.
2) No longer having to translate the godawful English. Though I would miss some of the lulzy dialog.

"I don't even know what a Reunion is!"

As long as Cloud no longer says "Let's mosey," I'll be fine with anything they throw at us in the remake. I still remember the days of painfully wincing, every time I got to that part of the game and had to read that line. :aldo:

besides PS3 is gunna have a monster year next year...XIII is gunna boost sales like crazy (come on most ppl admit to buying it for ps3, or buying a ps3 just for it) and you have GoW 3...

who knows though, personal requests - S-E employee themselves have stated they want to remake it.

Although i understand the though of a V or VI remake, i dont see how or why they would tie Nomura to either of those - Nomura does either KH, new FF's, or VII; VII and KH are his primary goals, Versus is an exception since he is the one directing it instead of just designing/advising

- going back and fixing plot points
- Most likely ADDING new plot points (subtle hints for sequels)

Yeah and most people would buy it, but the expectation of a FF7 remake went from a 0% to an 80% because of some random guy just accepting a random ''Nomura's making a highly requested game'' and everyone on the Western side of things is like , OMFG that's definitly a FF7 remake AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Personally, the remakes of V or VI are more likely to happen seeing as the first four were remade for the portables and not ports. Seeing though as its "widely", I'm guessing maybe Dissidia 2 (which ppl did want after D1 was released) or KH3?

The only thing VII has for its money is oversaturated nostalgia and a rag tag team of cry babies (the gaming culture's sweet kryptonite.)

I skimmed over it... The key part is the box on the bottom right. With the best of my ability:

It goes on about the rush of games that's been revealed. Versus, Agito, Third Birthday. And then, Nomura said that "I can't guarantee it, but there may be unannounced titles announced or released next year."

The paragraph then said maybe these titles will be announced in E3 (May, June) or TGS? They are looking forward to it.

SO YEAH. He even said he can't guarantee it. Nothing about highly requested titles here. Also, there is more than 1 titles. He is very ambitious, isn't he?

Considering all the requests they're getting, all the games they have made surrounding in it, all the character models they made for the movie and games (and can use), all the story etc are made, and even if it's not that important, Nobuo Uematsu is back in the game:

FFVII REMAKE!

Although... When S-E says that it's a game with a lot of requests, it can even be a silly game like that DS game with a boy and his music player.

Lol, I don't think it's gonna be a FFVII remake to be honest. It never was, and it won't be this time either. Probably a game we dont'care about...

You obviously have no idea what your talking about. There's a difference between "requests" and "media requests". I think it's pretty obvious a FFVII remake.

So many people were wanting this remake now there's serious a huge chance of it happening now some little nerds I like "omg it's not teh gonna happen it's KhIII or some random game" seems like some of you don't even actually pay attention to what he said.

"I can't guarantee it, but there may be unannounced titles announced or released next year."
GRIN's "action genre" Final Fantasy 12 spin-off is an unannounced title.
If SE found another western studio for it's development maybe they will announce it? Seeing as they bought Eidos it's possible...

It just got to me now after seeing the tech demo which reminded me about the game and the fact that it's not announced. We know about it because it lead to GRIN's bankruptcy when SE took the project back. :P

I think this is most likely the game since every other guess is just that, a pure guess.

I'm actually curious about what this is now that we know it's not an FFVII remake for sure. If it were a major KH game, no doubt Nomura's main team would be behind that. They are obviously busy with Versus though, so something like KH3 is out of the question.

Real world expectations lead me to believe it's probably a DS game, maybe a FFV or VI remake. A crazier idea would be a new Chrono game since that's pretty highly requested.

I always thought a while back when they released that demo...CG video whatever for FF7 on the PS3, that they said there wasn't going to be a remake. They just wanted fans to see what it'd look like in PS3 graphics...?

A remake would be nice, but I'm perfectly fine with the PS one sitting in my cupboard. But another Kingdom Hearts game would be even better. At least it's something entirely new, and I look forward to the day that it comes out - if it ever does. Just like I hope Namco would just localize Vesperia for PS3 and Graces for Wii. But I can wait. I'll take whatever Tetsuya throws at us.

Now, that's what I thought too. But what's the use of creating a FFVII clip on PS3? It's too much effort on something one-off. Maybe there IS something planned for FFVII on PS3. Not necessarily a remake, but a sequel perhaps? (To be honest, I wish SQEX would just leave FFVII alone. It's been overmilked...)

Not oh its not in our plans as of right now (unless were about to go under , again) come on just tell everyone flat out man to man , listen its over johnny!

They won't flat out say it because they intend to cash in on the remake in the future. As a developer, you would have to be stupid as hell not to. The majority wants an FF7 sequel....and we saw the buzz the technical demo got (I believe Square was testing the market with this). The release of the PSN version has also done extremely well.

novaheaven

Mar 30 2010, 06:24 PM

After reading that Nomura interview in BBS's Ultimania, we can be sure we'll see a new KH game for PS3/PSP announced this E3.

But what really caught my interest was when he mentioned deciding not to include a lot of FF characters in BBS
(other than Zack). He said it would sidetrack to main plot so they instead placed those FF characters in "another project".

He didn't say "Kingdom Hearts", but another project. I'm guessing either it's a new game all together or it's surely a Dissidia II? This time with a bigger selection of FF characters (instead of just the protagonists & antagonists)

He did also say expect to see Cloud in a lot of cameos in the future so?
