The plans were during the PS2 era? I bet if anything, it had to do with the major financial lost of Spirits within that stopped them from being able to afford to remake them.

DarkBlood3831d ago

your talking about that movie right? i think i have it on blu-ray, lol just too lazy to check

UltimateMaster3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

FF8 is already on PC.

Just not on Steam yet.

It would be cool to get FF7 and FF8 Remastered HD versions for the PS4 and the Vita.

It would also be cool that they get to release FF XIII Type-0 here in the US.

knifefight3831d ago

I remember reading stories about it for PS2 yeah.

My brother and I actually stopped replaying the games and listening to the soundtracks because "I'll let it all be almost new again when I replay it on PS2!"
Hahaha, if we had only known back then how it would all turn out.

Chrono Cross and FF9 HD remakes! Make them happen!

yewles13831d ago

YOU REMEMBER THIS 'NOW'???

I WAS HAVING TANTRUMS AT 'GAMEFAQS' WHEN THIS WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED!!! Just like now. XD

12 years later...same old SE.

Chrono3831d ago

Not Square "Enix", it's before the merger.

HarryMasonHerpderp3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

Leave them alone Squeenix. While it sounds great to play your favourite Final Fantasys with upgraded graphics and so on, Squeenix would only butcher the games now. I really don't trust them anymore. They should make a new Final Fantasy that can actually stand up to the old games instead of living on past glory's. Nickel and diming the old school fans with nostalgia is the only reason squeenix are still around. That and Western games like Deus Ex and Tomb Raider have saved their ass from closing down.

Forget about it.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5214d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212114d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5213d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5213d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani13d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum14d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman14d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim14d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
