I can't say that any Final Fantasy titles interest me.. remakes even less so..

zeal0us3942d ago

What was the point of coming here if FF doesn't interest you?

Elda3942d ago

@Zealous...WELL SAID!

grimmweisse3942d ago

Thank you for proving and contributing to nothing, you must fail at life so hard. "clicks on a FF article, posts nonsense".

Hellsvacancy3942d ago

Im really looking forward to playing FFX again personally, ill pass on X-2

despair3942d ago

so many years later and that giggling and laughing (and the...ugh...concert bits) still annoy the hell out of me. I'll play it but only because the battle system was really good.

I don't really think anyone cares. People want FFVII remade, not this nonsense. Personally, I want VI (the best in the series, gosh darn it!) redone.

zeal0us3942d ago

While some people do want a FF7 remake, I do think people care about FF10 remake. If there wasn't a interest in it then SE wouldn't have made it.

Jdoki3942d ago

I must have put in hundreds of hours in to FFVII, but I really can't understand the desire for a remake.

The game was revolutionary because of the CD format, and I played it to death because it was unlike anything we'd seen before at that time. But even back then the characters felt stereotypical, and the story was a bit of a mess.

When I have tried to play it again since, it's just not been worth the effort. Even if SE sorted out the checkpoint system and smoothed out some of the rough bits I'd still not bother with it unless it had some significant revamping of game play mechanics.

I'd rather SE focus on getting back to making good games now, not pandering to fanboys wearing rose tinted glasses.

Perjoss3942d ago

I played it again recently, I admit that I didn't even make it past 10 hours played this time around. It's just not as good as I remember it, most of my enjoyment came from nostalgia and from the soundtrack, music never really gets old but graphics and gameplay mechanics sadly do not stand the test of time in most cases.

I wonder how many of the people that are screaming for a remake have actually picked it up and played it recently.

insomnium23942d ago

I disagree with both of you. I'm playing FF7 through right now and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Just working on getting Omnislash from battle arena. Just got Shadowflare from ultima weapon for all 3 enemy skill materias. This time I'll play this thing through for sure. There's much nostalgia but to me the game mechanics have not aged one bit.

Jdoki3942d ago (Edited 3942d ago )

That's cool insomnium2. I have a blast on a lot of old games. Just FFVII doesn't do it for me any more. Although I do think the Materia system was awesome.

I think I prefer both VIII and X these days for 3D FF's. The old 2D titles were probably the best though.

Have fun beating the Ruby and Emerald Weapon super bosses!! :)

Xer0_SiN3942d ago

i liked xenogears more than i liked ff7. to me, 10 was pretty good, but out of all the playstation final fantasies i rather have 8 remade.

Inception3942d ago

Hey ElleGee, you want FF VI / VII remake when basicaly it's the same game you already play / beaten years ago, only with better graphics. Then you came in here and said FF X remaster 'is nonsense and no one cares about it'. Lol what an irony -_-

levian3942d ago

Personally, I want them ALL remade for PS3/PS4, that was I don't have to fire up my PS2 (which is starting to break).

I really want them to re-release FF12 next.

moonstormer3942d ago

love final fantasy - excited for the extra content!

Lucreto3942d ago

I was hopeing for an earlier date. Too many games and a new console on the way.

Just have to wait for the Collectors Edition before I pre-order.

VsAssassin3942d ago

This will be the only SE game in a long time that I know I will buy and won't get disappointed in. I just hope the framerate remains the same if not improved.

fsfsxii3942d ago

They almost took 2 years to make the friggin HD remaster, they better make it right

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Joins Game Pass Tomorrow

The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account announced that starting tomorrow Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster will be available on game pass.

Gaming4Life19811072d ago

I literally have this game on everything lol.

Abnor_Mal1072d ago

The game that got me into the Final Fantasy series, I actually stopped playing FF7 halfway through disc one back in 1997.

Teflon021072d ago

Personally the battle in this one legit make me fall asleep because they're so "do it the right way or no way". As a kid I loved it but as I'm older and play so much JRPGs. Definitely needed to be the ATB and not this one. But the story was something I loved

Kavorklestein1072d ago (Edited 1072d ago )

The game is actually live now.
I already unlocked an achievement on it and can I say: The grainy ass PS2 graphics still ended up looking great in HD. Of course, not leaps and bounds better, with old textures in some spots and old game design etc but it holds up beautifully and I'm excited for my 2nd ever playthrough. It has not lost it's charm for me personally.
And the Music! So good.

I wanna get better at blitz ball this time around tho

Eh. Never could get into it for long.
12 is my personal favorite. Followed by 6, 9, and 7.

gold_drake1510d ago

not surprising, ff fans who like 6 and 12, usually dont like the rest i feel.

Spenok1510d ago

I grew up on the series (played every single one of them when they were new).

6 is easily my favorite, followed by 14, then 11, then 12 and so on down the list.

There isn't a single one I haven't loved in some way. But 8, and then 2 are at the bottom of my list.

AK911510d ago

What’s wrong with 6?

Sirk7x1510d ago

Love 6, hate 12 lol. 9 my favorite by far.

bouzebbal1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

I really don't inputs which one is my personal favorite because there are so many, but I know for a fact it's not 10,13 and 15..
Ff12, despite cheesy characters, was a great game and the freedom of movement really helped. The ps1 episodes come first, including the ff5 ff6 remasters.
I later on played ff1 remaster on psp and I loved it!! Så yeah, hard top pick one.

bangoskank1509d ago

Not true. XII, IX, and VI are my favorites as well but I still love some of the others, just not as much.

Army_of_Darkness1509d ago

FF7 is by far my favorite FF game, great times and great memories.. then comes
FF8, FF6, FFX, FF12 and finally FF9.

12 doesn't feel like a FF game to me, but it's definitely a favourite rpg of mine.

1510d ago
babadivad1510d ago

I put a metric ton of time in on 12 but I couldn't tell you what the story was about. I spent most of my time hunting bounties. By the time I finished the game I had no clue what was going on.

1510d ago
RedDevils1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

12 is one of the worst. But 13 and 15 take the cake.

gold_drake1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

haha see, thats what i mean. theres, usually but not all the time, a pattern to final fantasy fans xD
i for one loath 12. i have no idea what the story was about, dont know any name for any city and only find Fran and Balthier great.
i love love love 7. dont like 2 at all. 6 and 9 are good but id rather play anything else tbh. 14 is good also but im no MMO person so i never got beyond the 3rd quest lol.

no hate, but ff fans are somewat predictable, based off on what they like xD in most cases.

ShinRon1510d ago

those are my top FF games but i have 6 at the top still.

SugarSoSweet1510d ago

12!!!?? is your favourite why? The characters are story was terrible..

DerfDerf1510d ago

I personally give the nod to 8 then 9, 7, 5

-Foxtrot1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

Final Fantasy V and XIV got better than FFVIII

Lightning, Orshvan Greystone and Noctis got a better ranking than Squall

Liberi Fatali didn't even make the music list...

Damn, I didn't think people still hated FFVIII...how sad.

Muzikguy1509d ago (Edited 1509d ago )

3 and 9 are my favorite. 12, 10, 8, 7, and 5 aren't bad either

I don't think I've played 6. I probably should sometime. I know I'd rather play an original not any of the remake versions.

VincentCastle1494d ago (Edited 1494d ago )

yes!
I love Final Fantasy 12. My favorite as well. Then followed by 9, 6, 7,14 and the others I like, but I can't quite put in a list.

darkwalker1510d ago

I agree. It is the best of the Final Fantasy games because it had the perfect balance of game play and exploration, coupled with excellent graphics for its time, an amazing story and phenomenal music. The sphere grid was simple, innovative and engaging and the side quests were fun and challenging. Its definitely my favorite.

specialguest1510d ago

My top FF:
It's difficult to decide between FF7 and FF6, but I'm leaning more towards FF7. Then FF6 is a very close 2nd, followed by FF4. FF4 got me hooked on the RPG genre. The story, character development, and music got me hooked. Before FF4, I never cared for video game characters and their fate in a game.

littletad1510d ago

Have you tried 9? It hearkens back to the earlier games, including 6. That's my favorite. Then 10.

specialguest1509d ago

Haven't played 9 yet. I need to

Shiken1510d ago

Auron is the best character in Final Fantasy IMO.

Sirk7x1510d ago

FFX could have had a fantastic prequel following their initial journey.

Shiken1510d ago

Instead we got a Sailor Moon style sequel to revive Tidus, and a canon comic that shits all over him in the worst way possible taking place immediately after that.

But yes, following Braska, Auron, and Jecht in a prequel would have been awesome!

gold_drake1510d ago

my faves are 5, 7, 8, 10, 13-2.

MWH1510d ago

Looks like a puzzle combination.
