Currently replaying FFVII right now. My favorite game of all time. Heck, my favorite series, if you just ignore everything after X.....

Ahh yes I am currently mid ff9 myself ironically(just scooped the blood sword for steiner, beastly)! Just replayed 7 and 8 on my Psone emulator as well, reliving my childhood

lol

And yeah final fantasy 10 was most definetly The last truly good ff game. I mean I enjoyed 12, but 13 was horrible I couldn't even play it through all the way. The removal of the turn based system just killed me

I rage quit XIII. I got to a boss battle that was ridiculously hard. Tried about 15 times and just said "screw it, I'll play IX." I was already tired of it. Just needed an extra push.

Yeah definetly understandable, it was hard for me to put it down, being that I've been playing the series since I was 7. It just wasn't the same.

Ever play 11? The whole diving into a ff MMORPG seemed interesting I just was to stubborn to pay a fee

The FF games nowadays don't even feel like FF games. They feel so forced and....well, bad. I used to care about each character, and want them to do better, which really made these heartfelt games to me. The characters now are so forced that I honestly don't care for a single one. The storylines are losing their touch majorly, too. It's not nearly as magical anymore. I honestly can't help but feel a bit betrayed by the franchise.

Ok for people who watched the conference, square Enix is making a new Final Fantasy for PS4. Of course no body was looking for a final fantasy, everyone was looking for a KINGDOM HEARTS game. The crowds reaction explains it all....

And it was hilarious! XD

I think they should just take a hint from their fans. Stop putting out new ones, we don't like them anymore, and give us our darn remake of 7!

FlickerYourOwnIdentity · March 31, 2013, 08:47:30 PM

Well think about it this way, there are several reviews that say that the sequels to all the games were terrible, like FF VII 2.

Nobody liked it. (if that's what your talking about.)

If they finally re-made 7( which is ridiculously long overdue, crisis core was such a horrible tease), I beleive I would explode from sheer joy

Ahh yes but these were actual sequels to the storylines followed by those games, which was unnecessary with the length and depth of the story already told. A re-make with a couple new characters, enhanced graphics and cinematics, a couple added quests to the main story-line as well as a
Couple new sidequests, perhaps a new area to explore and I'd be happy. Nothing needs to change about the plot and storyline as far as I'm concerned!

The way SquareEnix coldly exploits the iconic imagery and characters from Final Fantasy VII (all the spinoffs, paid apps, various cameos, music) if amazes me they haven't tried to remake it. The audience that played it is older, with more disposable income - perhaps they haven't figured a way to monetize the entire experience?

FlickerYourOwnIdentity · March 31, 2013, 08:53:48 PM

Ok cool that's what I thought you guys were talking about. Yeah playstation store had final fantasy 7 in the playstation store.

I usually play that.

Not quite, I mean essentially a re-release if the game. Here are some points:

-Square got so many letters about it, they release a video of the intro to the game, with improved graphics
-The president himself said he really wants to do the remake
-The game wasn't finished! Aeris was supposed to come back, which is why you could still buy stronger weapons for her later in the game.
-The game was so popular, it has a prequel, a sequel, a follow up movie, and its characters featured in several other games.

What does 13 have? (Which I've already heard of two more games coming out)

-A first game that people were pretty "meh" about
-A sequel that nobody wanted, or liked
-A setup for a third which was enraging on nearly Mass Effect levels.

Just sayin'.
