So whats next for FFVII?

[DLPB]

What's next? Hopefully the following announcement:

"Since we no longer believe in good games because it will take years to make them, (10X longer by our own estimates for a FF7 remake), we are now going to finally stop milking the ultimate gaming cash cow. We are sorry for robbing the fan-base blind, laughing hard at them, and for sucking every last drop of dignity FF7 had left. We will not make another FF7 spin off or otherwise. FF7 is done and it always has been ever since the original game finished. Furthermore, we now declare all games and movies which are based on the FF7 world (except the original game), null and void and extinguished from canon. They never happened.

Thankyou. "

...sir, that's called 'naivete'.

Nice... thx for the link! i didn't read throught everything just yet but i will... skimmed through it...

do you mean the THE LOVELESS & Genesis Part? like one other game or movie completing the story to where we see REDXIII on the mountain view?

You'll know when you read it.

So at this point they NEED at least one more major addition, specifically the one to finish the story. Then I wouldn't mind remakes for the original game and Before Crisis.

I think this is what it will be (and all that it should be). FFVII remake first on PS3 (to bring people that didn't play the original), a BC remake for 3DS, and one console game to wrap it up. That's what I expect, and what I'd also like to see.

 

[Dashell]

FFVII remake first on PS3

No, I really don't want a remake. I realize I'm alone on this but I really would rather not have one.

You're not alone on this Que. Because I don't really want a remake eithers.

 

[Tifabelle]

I don't understand why, though. You guys are worried they're going to screw it up? I can understand that (given recent events). But why deny something just because something bad might happen. Didn't you see AC/C

Seriously though, even if they make a remake and it's awful, it's not going to change the original. The original will always be there and it will always be the same. And if you don't want it, you don't have to buy it. So what's the diff?

Besides, business-wise, SE would be stupid not to make a remake.

 

[Dashell]

I guess I just don't see the point I'm big on "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." and please don't come at me with the "This guy are sick" images. I'm aware some translations were odd but really, the game itself was fine.

In My Opinion:

The original game was pretty awesome. I enjoyed it most of, if not all, the time I was playing it. ACC for me was a damn good watch too. Sure the story could have been written better but at the end of the day it was still enjoyable, to fans and non-fans alike. I'm in the middle of playing Crisis Core and enjoying it, and Before Crisis I found enjoyable too.

At the end of the day, it's not broke no. And it doesn't need fixing. But personally I am more than happy for them to release another enjoyable piece of media because at the end of the day, it will always be better than half the shit thats being produced these days anyway.

 

[Joker]

The problem is that it won't BE an enjoyable piece of media.

Thank you, and have a wonderful day.

Look at all the fascinating stuff about FFVII that we're still talking about to this day! This was when Square actually enjoyed making games and hadn't become a cold, hollow corporation who think half-assed action-RPGS are the pinnacle of the JRPG genre. The game doesn't need to be remade. I know people are like 'they need it to complete the Compilation'... yeah right. Just watch the remake contradict the crap out of everything in the Compilation. They can't keep the story straight as it is.

And if that day comes, we at TLS will be here to point out all the contradictions and changes. Either case, Square will keep their fans busy.

I enjoyed the former two. So stfu

Besides it's a matter of opinion, one which is not expressed by the majority.

 

[Tifabelle]

Well, if SE got their shit together, would you want one then? Because I want them to do that before they do a remake. Or any other games for that matter.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

Just watch the remake contradict the crap out of everything in the Compilation.

This is one of the reasons why I would like a remake. When SE made the original FFVII, they no idea they would be making the Compilation. I would like to see the original FFVII game made with the Compilation in mind if just to see what retcons and new information SE now considers canon.

You know, I get it's the cool thing as an FF fan to hate on XIII. And yeah, it wasn't up to the standards of the golden era of FFs.

But ffs it was still a damn enjoyable game (thanks largely in part to its combat), and give it some credit as such. I'm not asking anyone to love it or preach about its awesome but it gets way too much undeserved hate.

Normally I don't mind the insults, but putting it in the same category as DoC isn't fair. At all.

/rant

Like Obsidian said, it would be interesting to see how they incorporate all the Compilation canon/retcons into the original game. That said, I vastly prefer OG canon to Comp canon, but whether I like it or not the Compilation does in fact exist and therefore any remake of the OG should acknowledge it.

Though I think if they do make a remake they're going to do it for 2017, and if anything's released before that it will (sadly) be a sequel to DoC, since it was set up to be that way.

 

[Joker]

I'm just tired of milking the VII cash cow. FFS, just let it fucking GO.

MAKE A BETTER FFIV HOW ABOUT THAT

Yeah! Move on to a new cash cow!

You've missed the point. The Compilation contradicts the Compilation. I guarantee a remake will throw up more questions than it does answers.

:joker:

Elaborate, please?

 

[Joker]

How about making a GOOD new game? I hear that FFXV is needing to be made

The car accident rubbernecker in me is the only part of me that does want a remake -- if only so that I can slow down to look at the hilarious results of inevitable pre-release interviews that talk about "updating the original to include the new story elements brought in by the Compilation," only to see the Compilation contradicted to hell and back.

Elaborate, please?

Go to this document and search for "8.2Co":

It's under a section entitled "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII inconsistencies."

Though I think if they do make a remake they're going to do it for 2017, and if anything's released before that it will (sadly) be a sequel to DoC, since it was set up to be that way.

I feel like it would (unfortunately) be the opposite -- they'd do a remake first to try drawing the old fans back and new ones in before cleaning up the mess they made.

How about making a GOOD new game?

I knew of this article before, but only now took the time to read through it all. There were things in there that I had never thought of before. I am shocked and I feel soiled. This coupled with the inconsistencies existant within even the original FFVII itself just......

...I need a strong drink. Unfortunately I have none.

^
This.

It has always surprised me that while we come down on the inconsistencies the Compilation has, we almost never talk about the inconsistencies the OG has that we are comparing the Compilation too.

In my heart, I would love a remake "if" they brought back the original producers and most of the original staff, no Buster sword remakes or costume alterations. Give FFVII it's unique love and originality. If Square-Enix can't get past the hollow feeling inside their Final Fantasy games, then perhaps they just need to do what I said, bring on the old crew, pay them respectfully and listen in.
