"Goo Ranking took up this very topic in an October survey. The site got the opinion of 1,075 people on what PlayStation title they'd most like to play with PlayStation 3 visuals."

No prizes for guessing what the top three games were.

• 1. Final Fantasy VIII (Square)
• 2. Final Fantasy VII (Square)
• 3. Final Fantasy IX (Square)

No surprises there .

• 16. Ehrgeiz (Square)

Wasn't expecting that. Considering FF characters got added I can see why it's up there. But tbh that game was awful. The only reason I actually bothered to play it was because I wanted to see Cloud and the others that were added to the game.

I'm also glad to see Ghost in the shell up there. Although I can barely remember playing it, I still had a blast.

I'm very glad that PE hit #6. I'm replaying that game right now, and holy shit I want to see a graphics update on this game, because it would be AMAZING. But if it happens please, PLEASE, PLEASE keep the original Parasite Eve's Combat System the same.

Final Fantasy VIII was number one? That's a bit surprising. But those three games being the top three is no surprise at all.

But really...look how many games in that list...that truly was Square's Golden Era wasn't it? The 2D FFs and Chrono Trigger certainly had their moments, but look how may classics were crammed in that that generation, lol.

I was surprised too. Only bc of all the FFVII remake back and forth. But I would love to see an VIII remake. Or a sequel. However...

The Goo Ranking survey responders were 33.7% male and 66.3% female. 18.1% were in their 20s, 30.9% in their 30s and 25.7% in their 40s.

:/ This survey seems to be taken from a select populus. Probably doesn't represent the general gaming community.

 

[ForceStealer]

It was all women! That explains i-... Actually that doesn't explain anything, lol. Do girls tend to prefer FF8? I never got that impression.

Thank you! I love FF8 but this is BLASPHEMY!!

Really, who the hell would take a ff8 remake over a ff7 remake? Is this fur reals?

 

[Tifabelle]

Apparently women over 30 love FFVIII

 

[Mitch Connor]

awww dammit stupid love stories lol

Given how disillusioned the FFVII fanbase is now after the horrific injuries inflicted on the franchise by the Compilation and the sheer amount of absolutely mediocre releases tied to it, is it really so shocking that people are fed up with FFVII for the moment?

I don't think they are. FF7 isn't saturating the market or anything. I think we all know, regardless of what this poll says, SE fans aren't fed up with FF7 and really do want that remake

 

[Alex]

I disagree, in my opinion the Compilation has greatly diminished the universal popularity of FFVII. A lot of fans, myself included, just don't care enough any more to hold out hope for a remake.

SE fans aren't fed up with FF7 and really do want that remake

They do? I was under the impression that most fans had given up pining for a remake because SE certainly isn't going to get around to making one until the company pulls its head out of its ass.

 

[ForceStealer]

I dunno Alex, remember this? They had to take the question down they were being so flooded with responses. And sure that was back in March but there haven't been any releases since then that would have changed that response.

I also imagine there are a large amount of gamers that played FFVII in their youths that would love a graphical update but never paid enough attention to know about the Compilation. Most people I know in real life that played VII know about Advent Children (the original) and little else.

well ya I think we're all done asking SE if or when they are gonna do it (because they're just being so fuckin lame about it), but that doesn't mean the fans still don't want it.

At least, that the impression I've been getting from the fandom.

Square now is saying that it would take 10 times the 3 or 4 years it took to make FFXIII - so yeah, 30 to 40 years... ;P

If Tennyo sees this (or if anyone else gets it): Egoraptor's "that's why it's the best game ever!" ending to one of his FFVII spoofs is looking more and more like foreshadowing.

 

[ForceStealer]

Yeah they said that awhile ago, and they're full of shit.

I mean, it might take them that long, but some people who knew what the hell they were doing could do it in a reasonable amount of time.

I agree.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

I think Square-Enix has established conclusively they haven't had any clue what they're doing for several years now.

Final Fantasy VIII was number one? That's a bit surprising. But those three games being the top three is no surprise at all.

It's only a little surprising. For a while prior to the Compilation, it was pretty widely considered that VIII was more popular than VII in Japan, while VII had both more of the West's and the overall world's attention.

By early 2006, though, FFVII was the golden boy again, slotting second only to FFX in a Famitsu poll asking gamers in Japan what the best 100 games ever are:

I also agree with Alex's assessment that recent outings from the Compilation, as well as SE's overall decline in quality (FFXIII, FFIV, every time Kitase opens his mouth to speak of a FFVII remake, etc.), have done a little bit to diminish demand for a remake of VII as compared to giving another FF some attention.

Not enough to make the statement true that they no longer want it, no. Not by any stretch of the imagination have they stopped wanting it. Just not as fervently.

But really...look how many games in that list...that truly was Square's Golden Era wasn't it? The 2D FFs and Chrono Trigger certainly had their moments, but look how may classics were crammed in that that generation, lol.

Yep. =) It was a great time to be getting into Square games, I can tell you that.

Really, who the hell would take a ff8 remake over a ff7 remake? Is this fur reals?

If they can get Kitase to stop sharing his ideas with everybody, and remember to play through the original game a couple times while they make the new one, I'd take it over VII.

30 to 40 years my ass.

I can see that square would most likely be afraid of remaking it imo. If they messed it up, 7 would be hit hard.
