In the wake of FFVII's release on Steam, we beg the question whether a full-blown remake of Square's beloved masterpiece is really such a good idea.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
How about evaluating the need for an RPG which sets the standard for RPG on next gen systems? Leave something which set the standard before, which happened two-three console cycles ago, where it belongs?
Which means building upon something like Skyrim, Fallout 3 and even the Mass Effect series when considering where the genre should be going on the XB1 and PS4.
that's really much of the issues with JRPGs. They never really sought to mature past FF7 or PS1 type games.
Closest thing to a remake we will get is FF7 With Mods(PC Exclusive).
It wont happen because it would make them alot of money-- Squareenix has been focused on losing money so it wouldnt make much sense for them to pursue this. There next big investment will probably be final fantasy 13 -4 lightnings back again or final fantasy 16 online, followed by its rebirth after its failure.
I'd rather a new Final Fantasy that was as good as Final Fantasy VII and developed in mind with why Final Fantasy VII was a great game and great FF.
