Square Revealing More Shocking News In August?

So whats the shocking announcement this time? Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation 3 or maybe Xbox 360? We'll have to wait until the beginning of August to find out.

[i_eatbreakfast4lunch]

FFVII remake xbox exclusive!!!

or maybe FFXIV XBOX exclusive!!!

FF versus coming to XBOX!!!!

[Tmac]

Alright Breakfast I understand you're trying to get the most disagree's but this is just getting annoying please stop.

[jwatt]

What ever happens nobody kill themselves over it.

[SixTwoTwo]

FFXIII Wii
FFXIII PSP
FFXIII DS
FFXIII iPhone
FFXIII toys at burger king
FFXIII mountain dew

[incogneato]

if all future final fantasys are xbox exclusive or ff versus 13 is coming for xbox, this will not shock me. thats how much square has screwed up in my eyes

the only announcement that will shock me is them actually give the fans what they want, ff7 remake

[poopface1]

and I hope its on 360 too. FF7 is the only ff I ever liked. I hate turned based rpgs, but the story and characters of FF7 are just too awsome. I really liked the materia system in stead of the orbs in 10 or whatever it was called in 8(only other FF games I ever played).

If FF7 I hope its on ps3 and 360. Im guessing that like me, alot of 360 owners had a ps1 back in the day, and would like to play the ff7 remake.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

for most disagrees and negative bubbles.

Breakfast, in this single article you win hands down.

[HateBoy]

After recieving 60 million+ angry fanboy letters due to XIII going multiplat they've decided to start working on an FFVII remake, due out 2010.

[silverchode]

isnt ff7 owned by sony?

[lastdestiny]

I have been reading gamefaqs for some time now and i feel i should finally contribute to the society. My microsoft insider where i get all my news from finally have something brilliant worth posting. Too me its no so brilliant (i am a ps3 guy), but to you it might be, BLU RAY add-on unit for xbox 360!. I believe its true as my microsoft insider often gets things months ahead and it becomes true but i never post (im no xbox fan, and frankly the news has only been this big once before. I hope its not true but he says it is.

Anyways Yeah the add-on will be coming, which i guess is good for sony cause microsoft has to pay royalties and stuff maybe. However it will be around late in the holdiay season and be priced and an extremely fair $149.99 in North America, and it will be released early 2009 in europe, is what my insider said. It will most likely be announced at GC, this is huge though as its somthing sony has over them xbox now has.

James.
Please Reply with your comments

P.S I beleive this is true its 99.9% true i think as hes neevr been wrong before.

[t-0_ot-]

@incogneato - Why did Square screw up? Cause they did something you didn't like or agree with? Did they screw up because they wanted to let more people, the console with the biggest fanbase(besides Wii), to enjoy the game. Or, is it because you didn't want the xBox owners to be able to play FF? Or, maybe, it's because they wanted more money, and realized the PS3 didn't have the fan base the expected it to have, so they had to explore different options?

Face it, we ALL thought Sony would have had more PS3's sold by now.. And, if you watched E308, then you probably heard the hosts, don't remember which ones, I think it was Adam and Morgan, but not positive, say that the Blu-Ray is saving the PS3, as in SOME people are buying the PS3 for Blu-Ray alone and not to play games..

So, how did they "screw up?"

[CrazzyMan]

Kingdom Hearts 3
Parasite eve 3 or 4
new Chrono game
Crono Trigger Remake
FFXIII MMO
FF7 Remake
FF7:AC game
Xenogears Remake

There are so many possibilities..)

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Ok, you two (or one) meal guys were funny when starting. Not anymore. I´m reporting as Spam, Off-topic or whatever and taking bubbles.

Go play in the other zone please. -->

[calis]

Two things -

1. God of War 3 absolutely cannot go to any other platform.

2. Final Fantasy VII remake absolutely cannot go to any other platform.

Sony owns God of War and they have the publishing rights for FFVII

[ry-guy]

Bubble for the Xenogears suggestion.

A remake of that game would be orgasmic. Maybe they could fix some balance issues with the endgame bosses.

[Shadow Flare]

I don't care if im being an optimist, but all this buzz surrounding FFVII and the hints Square-Enix have been dropping make me think this could actually be it. So far Square has said:

-Tetsuya Nomura, "expect a huge announcement concerning Final Fantasy VII very soon"

-Square-Enix, "There will be an announcement at the Square-Enix party that will shock FF7 fans"

-Square-Enix, "This E3 we swung the ball in Microsoft's direction. Very soon we will be swinging it back in Sony's direction".

An FFVII remake for PS3. And Sony owns the rights to FFVII so there is no chance Xbox 360 will ever see it. But keep begging anyway, we know you will.

I'd also like to take this moment to call out all the ps3 fanboys who totally lost faith in Square-Enix after the FF13 multiformat announcement. Those of you who let your feelings go nuts and didn't use your head. For one thing that FF13 deal is a load of rubbish on Microsoft's behalf if you actually understood what the deal comprises of, it gives MS little benefit in reality. And now hopefully we're getting an FFVII remake, exclusive, along with FF13 Versus exclusive. Square-Enix is still supporting PS3 most with its best franchises. That's called loyalty

[solidt12]

I wish they would just finish the games that they are working on now so we can play them.

[incogneato]

shadowflare i agree with what youre saying completely. it only makes sense that its the ff7 remake. but because of how lame square is, i have some doubts

[zane547]

Shadow Flare - "An FFVII remake for PS3. And Sony owns the rights to FFVII so there is no chance Xbox 360 will ever see it. But keep begging anyway, we know you will."

I own both consoles, if its a remake I get it regardless, but. I think you have your information very wrong. A companies IP is owned by the company that made it unless it wasnt their creation. For example Microsoft created the Halo and PGR IP's, and outsourced them to Bungie and Bizarre Creations, hence Halo or PGR wont see the light of day on any other format other than PC.

Final Fantasy was a Square Enix ip from the getgo, Sony don't own any of it. They may have helped fund development costs in some way but they didnt own any rights. Hence FFVII was given the green light to be published by Eidos on PC in the first place. So really, a remake could end up on either format.

And I agree with posts from 360 gamers who owned ps1's but not a ps3, they shouldnt be shafted if this project was to go ahead. I'm sure the select few Japanese xbox 360 owners would have felt this way with regards to FFXIII, hopefully Square Enix wouldnt repeat that mistake.

As for comments on the developer selling out. Well they are a business, they need to turn over a profit. But in doing so they're just widening the potential fanbase for the series and giving a wider variety of gamers the chance to experience the title. I think its healthy.

[nirwanda]

I heard kingdom hearts 3 was coming to the wii, there is defiantly a new FF MMO in the works they announced it ages ago and I think that is coming to 360 and PS3 think it was at the FF11 convention but not sure.

chrono trigger remake is going to the DS

and as for the FF7 remake rumour it depends on how the publishing deal was done sony published the game in the west but square released it in japan I think because most of the teams are busy the logical thing for them to do would be to port it to the PSP like the other earlier games have done with the DS and PSP and they would have a spare team left since finishing crisis core

parasite eve would be sweet it a very underrated game

[AAACE5]

I'll give you a bubble cause you were trying to make a joke, and by the amount of disagrees, I can see people didn't get it!

But seriously... That's a harsh joke for the fanboys to hear! Their skin crawled when they heard FFXIII was coming to 360. So if (by some extremely remote chance) a remake of 7 came to 360... and exclusive at that... the fanboys would probably have a heart attack!

Anyway, I get the joke...Bubble!

[jessupj]

Theif!! He stole my avatar! Arrest that man!

[HighDefinition]

Would make the HARDCORE Square "fanboys" love you again.

[pharmd]

did you submit this article?

cuz you are really pulling an Agent-X here

[HighDefinition]

And YES, I did submit it.

[Breakfast]

Thats awesome. Where has Agent-X gone?

Who cares...we got the new Agent-X ready to go!

[HighDefinition]

WTF?

[pharmd]

he supposedly got a one month ban for sending vulgar and explicit PMs

but HD, its when a person submits a story and then comments every other comment to head the story up as much as they can...

thats pulling an agent x

[HighDefinition]

It`s wasn`t intentional.

Sometimes when I comment, I think off something else. I got quite a bit of bubbles so I just make a new one. If I pulled a "agent X" sorry, I didn`t mean to.

[mistertwoturbo]

You mean Agent-VX? That guy seriously has some issues in real life.

[yanikins111]

VX has a real life? O_o

[HighDefinition]

You can`t buy this kinda promotion, this is DRAMA.

SoapOperaEnix

[cloudman]

Square-Enix sucks. They made me feel like an abondmed loser

i am selling all my Square games, please check it out. i was such a big FF fan then i became a Square fan. Then they lied to there fanbase.

FF7 on PS3 might make me buy all these games back. i know stupid? but i doubt it. must experience!. Squaresoft are much better

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eB...

[Shroomy]

Overreact much?

Christ companies have to make a profit you know, otherwise your dear FF will die and Square dive back into bankruptcy.

[mfwahwah]

Looks to me like you were not a fan of the FF series, but rather had a crush on Square Enix? A good game is a good game and it sucks that you're too ignorant to realize that.

[iGrenade]

Squaresoft was the best freakin' video game company ever. When they merged with Enix because of FF:SW, it all started to go downhill IMO, games wise. Never liked FFXII, hated FFX-2, and FFXI wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be.

[pwnsause]

wow, this kid is full of fail

[Dark vader]

Its not ff7 remake, they already said no time and time again. The only way i could see this happening, is maybe square would allow level 5 to upgrade the graphic and make a full blown remakeof the game. I have a question to ask though, Is ff7 piblished by sony or square. And if it is publised by sony, does that give sony some legal bind to it. Don't bite my head off now, i am just asking.

[INehalemEXI]

Just get FF13 out in Japan this year with an english option and Im happy. Its not so hard to please me.

Yah, Sony was the publisher. As far as I know Sony has the FFVII line of games exclusively. It was a major title in the birth of the ps brand.

[LoVeRSaMa]

With Sony being the Publisher SquareLOL cannot sell them out =]

[metalhead]

ya sony published it XBOX 360 version is impossible

[vickers500]

Shh, be quiet! We've spotted a 360 owner in japan! Nobody make any sudden moves, you might scare him off.

[iamtehpwn]

Sony owns the publishing rights to Final Fantasy VII, Therefore, Square enix *MUST* have Sony's legal permission to put it on 360.

But it doesn't matter anyway. You guys, get realistic. Square Enix cannot remake FFVII right now. They're working on a thousand next gen projects right now.

I mean, look at it this way, if they had to have some of the Versus XIII members help out on the main XIII projects, there's NO way they could work on VII too.

[mfwahwah]

I'm pretty sure it won't be a FFVII remake, but then again I was DAMN sure the Blizzard splash page wasn't Diablo 3. I was CERTAIN that FFXIII was PS3 exclusive. I thought 256 players on a console was impossible...

This generation of gaming has taught me something: You can never be sure.

[zane547]

Sony published the title on Playstation, but they don't own the publishing rights exclusively. Eidos published the same title on PC. Same as Microsoft Game Studios published Mass Effect but it ended up on PC and the sequel will more than likely go multi.

[Zhuk]

Final Fantasy VII for Xbox 360 is undoubtedly on the horizon with Square Enix's unwavering belief and commmitment to the Xbox 360 platform and its universal abandonment of the PS3

[cloudman]

You know i wouldnt mind SO4 on 360 and i would buy a 360 for it

But FF7 360 will make me angry. i am a suqare fan. not exatclty a ps3 fan. but square enix lied to there fans so much. they showed no loyalty to sony with FF series or MS with project slypheed.

they keep lying. with this no one will care for FF7 remake!

[NegativeCreep427]

With little regard for the facts. You must be less than 15 Years old. I bet if you could, you would marry Bill Gates (no matter what gender you were born with, but I assume you crossed over at least once).

[TheColbertinator]

It cannot be on the 360 because Sony owns THE PUBLISHING RIGHTS!DUUUUURRR! PUBLISHING RIGHTS!No FF7 without SONY'S APPROVAL.

You would have better luck getting Shenmue 3 to come out.

[Kami]

where have u been?, i havent seen your fanboy A$$ in a long time.
i didnt miss you, nobody missed you, im just asking.

[iGrenade]

Look at all those hopeful "agrees" ahahaha.
Dang it's like everyday I have to congratulate someone for setting the all new low.

=Zhuk, congrats man.

[Ali_The_Brit]

oh man i think i speak for all of us when i say STFU

seriously nobody cares anymore you sad pathetic loser

[karlostomy]

minions that make up the SDF.

Nice to see. real nice.

[Pain]

FF is teh koolz again....u kids... man... just reek of retarded.

[cloudman]

Final Fantasy started to suck after Square merged with enix

FFX was the last good one!

i was a true FF7/FFX/kitase fan and i know!

[Harry190]

Nomura too.

[La Chance]

I think you right.

I mean FF11 , what on planet earth was that.

FF12 , easily the worst FF and and BORING.

[cloudman]

What?

Nomura is just a charcter designer

but yeh he is important. the story reflect on the charcter

FF12 had gay charcters. non were amazing or cool. The charcter design was not done by Nomura

So i guess he is important

[theusedfake]

I hope Nomura quits Square-enix and
starts his own game company :)

there'll be zippers, buckles, and belts
all over the place

[PirateThom]

Hope no one kills themselves over it.

[LoVeRSaMa]

You beat me to it ^_^

[skynidas]

lol

[Charmers]

Speak for yourself I hope some people do kill themselves over it because if they are sad enough to do that then they are just wasting valuable oxygen and should do the world a favour.

[Harry190]

Again repeat,FF7 publishing rights dammit. Publishing rights. Sony has the publishing rights to FF7.

[eagle21]

Where 360 is 99.999% dead. :)

[Ps3Fanboy777]

They have nothing left to make a fuss over.

[La Chance]

is NOT ff7.They cant even finish FF Versus wich is probably planned for 2010/2011 and you want them to announce FF7 remake ??? Moreover they have said 1000 times a FF7 remake isnt planned right now.

Who knows , maybe its Chrono trigger coming back , I remember before the PS3 came out there was rumor on french websites that Chrono would be coming back to PS3 is 2010...yep in 2006 thet said it would be coming in 2010...might just be true.

It might not be something FF related cuz its gonna be like an overdose of FF.You can only milk the cow a to certain limit.

Anyway I hope the 360 is related somehow.

[Harry190]

like a Xenogears sequel. As long as it's the original team doing it.

[silverchode]

ive read it will be a major announcment for the ps3 not the xbox i might be wrong thou.

[Shadow Flare]

it IS an FF7 announcement and its ps3 related too. And since Sony owns the rights to FF7 it can only BE ps3 related.

See comment 1.16

[dan-boy]

are you in on the negotiations? coz you seem to have some inside knowledge! i suppose you cant tshare because of non-disclosure rite??

[kewlkat007]

......

[HighDefinition]

I`m thinking more a FF MMO for PS3, Sony really seems to be liking the MMO thing right now. Didn`t someone say there would be 3 FF13s.

1.FF13
2.FF13V
3.?????

[vickers500]

4. PROFIT!

[mfwahwah]

Final Fantasy 13 Agito was a mobile phone game. They had to cancel it when they realized they were spending too much money on their other projects.

[lil Titan]

PS3 exclusive

[kewlkat007]

I'm waiting.

I got a feeling it's KINGDOM HEARTS Multi, You heard it here first.

[RecSpec]

FFVII remake...for the N GAGE.

[H-V-H]

OMG !!!

[Angelitos]

Hmmmm, more M$ bribing?

[zenosaga04]

Yea I'm pissed at Square-Enix too. Not pissed enough to sell all of my games, but pissed enough to stop supporting their company =)

By the way, wasn't Final Fantasy VII published by Sony, making a FF7 360 remake improbable, but do to the way Square's been screwing their fanbase not completely out of the question.

[tojfs7931]

It was published by sony at the time was it was the only system that could handle it!

[tako2000]

um~
FFv13 go to X360?
FF7re X360 exclusive?
KH3 X360 exclusive?

I doubt SE can shock anyone with any announcement since we all see it coming. Truly hard to "shock" anyone when a company lost all the credibility.

PS: o~wait, SE can always cancel all the PS3 titles. Then that's "shocking"!

[La Chance]

I would laugh SO hard if KH3 is a 360 exclusive.
Moreover with MSFT going all out for the casual audiance they might just pick up KH and push the Disney side of it to the maximum

[metalhead]

Disney is Blu-ray exclusive HD format I doubt the whole 360 thing

[avacadosnorkel]

they would have to relocate the company from Japan to Seattle

[theusedfake]

it's a DS remake of final fantasy V :\

[niall77]

But it WONT be a remake of VII

at the most another lame spinoff of VII

and it wont be 360 exclusive since Japan is 40% of the FF market

[Sangria]

Kingdom Hearts 3 on Wii. "Shocking" is not necessary positive. Porting FFXIII on 360, Square Enix prove that no matter what will think fanboys (of Sony, of Microsoft and of Final Fantasy series), the only divine way is the way of money.

So in my opinion, PS3 will be left out and Kingdom Hearts 3 will be announced on Wii. Not much development costs, big installation base, potientally big fanbase, the way is all cleared.

[tako2000]

o~ya, thanks for point out the Wii possibility

I do heard lots of rumor while ago about KH3 on Wii...

[PoSTedUP]

something like. ff13 turned the tables twards 360,we will turn them back to the ps3 shortly, or something like that.

[SuperNova1995]

FFXII does not suck. It only suck to noobs who dont appreciate good games.

[dkgshiz]

the 360 is dead in japan. So why have anything their at the tokyo game show? I heard Microsoft isn't even going to the Tokyo game show. It would make a lot of sense.

[stennexxx]

http://www.sonydefenseforce...

The recent announcement by Square-Enix that Final Fantasy XIII would remain a Playstation 3 exclusive in Japan marks the death of the Xbox 360 in the Land of the Rising Sun. Even more startling is that Square managed to announce this at Micosoft’s own press conference, only confirming Square’s commitment to the Playstation 3 brand and its desire to see the Xbox 360 flounder.

On a related note, the massive development costs for the Final Fantasy XIII project have forced Square to announce an inferior Xbox 360 port in North America and Europe. Spanning 6 DVDs, Final Fantasy XIII will release on the Xbox 360 but only because Sony doesn’t care about the franchise enough to subsidize its enormous development costs.

As always, in the end Sony wins and Microsoft loses. Tomorrow, it begins.

6 DVDs. LOL.

OH Xiis are going to have to fork out that money for an inferior product.

[tojfs7931]

Get the memo about the installs on the hard drive now, so your LOL at the 6 dvds is moot.

[Shadow Flare]

Hmm, installing 6 dvd's on a 20gb (reality 14gb free space) xbox 360. Have fun lol. Oh yeah, and you still need the disc in the 360 to play it anyway. And it will most likely be graphically inferior. Do yourself a favour, buy a ps3 lmao

[NI Warrior 101]

I dont care how many discs there are as long as I get to play it

[avacadosnorkel]

I actually hope Sony doesn't pay Square anything for any exclusives in the future. There's not much point any longer now 13 is on 360. Really Square should release Versus on 360 also now because it's obvious it's nothing special. I'm sure Sony has seen plenty of 13 in action and if they weren't moved to secure it then that says a lot to me.

Sony must have liked MGS 4 all along, but down the road I won't be surprised to see MGS 4 on the 360 with a modified version of the game (without Apple computers, ipods, Sony products, and bluray references) all they have to do is change what, maybe 3 scenes?

[TruthBTold]

you clearly havent played MGS4 all the way through.

[DJ]

Obviously hasn't played through the game...

[mistertwoturbo]

How about all the MGS1, MGS2, MGS3 music from the previous Playstation consoles? How are they going to work around that I wonder?

[mfwahwah]

Sony didn't secure FFXIII because they're not concerned with 3rd party devs right now. They're proving the power of the PS3 through 1st and 2nd party games.

Also, Versus was always the one I was more interested in. It's actually changing the FF formula AND it's made by the KH team. Pure win.

[Name Last Name]

sorry to be so late breakfast but did you actually say GoW is primary from gears of war and you call the real GoW (GOD OF WAR)godoW3? you must be kidding me.

[Monty_The_Great]

try to google GOW and see what comes up.

[HateBoy]

Lol, gears. That's weird.

[rexor0717]

God of War was first.

[Aclay]

I want to make one thing clear, there will NEVER be a Xbox 360 exclusive of ANY Final Fantasy game. There are around 600,000 people in Japan with 360's and the game would have dismal sales because JRPG's tend to sell more in Japan anyways and the 360 hardly even exists in Japan, SquareEnix isn't that stupid.

As far as a FF VII remake, if it did ever happen, it would be a PS3 exclusive more than likely because the original version on the PS1 was published by Sony.

Also, if SquareEnix is going to have some big announcement at their event that will shock the fans in attendance, more than likely it will be a PS3 exclusive, more details on FFXIII and FF Versus XIII, or something else. SquareEnix is having their event in Japan and the majority of SquareEnix fans in Japan are PLAYSTATION 3 OWNERS or just Playstationn users in general, so why in the hell would SquareEnix announce something in regards to the 360 at their event in Japan where there are hardly any 360 owners at all?

The reason why I am making this argument is because I'm just trying to prove that more than likely SquareEnix wont be announcing anything in regards to a 360 exclusive game.... heck, I wouldn't be surprised if SquareEnix doesn't mention the 360 at all at their event.

[avacadosnorkel]

You don't know what you're talking about...it's business. Actually, all the MS money love is just one of the first steps leading to Microsoft buying Square and making it a first party.

[SkyGamer]

I bet it's FF7 for XBLA and psn.

[LostChild]

If they actually did this, I would buy it. FF7 is my all time favorite game next to Beyond Good & Evil.

[mfwahwah]

FF7 is already (on it's way?) on the Japanese PSN store. They said it would shock the audience, not just make them happy.

[KingKirchner]

Well, if it's anything FFVII related, it's PS3 exclusive because Sony owns publishing rights to it.

[mrlokievil]

I hope it's Parasite Eve 3 or Vagrant Story 2 for the PS3.

[SkyGamer]

Another note, let's say MS just pays SE what it would be expected to sell on ps3. Then it wouldn't matter because SE wins either way. I bet MS is just paying for development costs so it pretty much is a free game for SE. Any copies they sell would be PURE PROFIT regardless of region.

[SkyGamer]

But how long does the publishing rights last? MGS published Dungeon Siege and now it is on the psp. I think it changes with different ownership and control.

[Isaac]

Sony has the rights to publish everything FF7 related in America, so it's never gonna happen. Sorry fanboys.

[CertifiedGamer]

I remember him saying he wouldn't praise ff even if it went to 360 because it sucks now he all of a sudden a fan wow!! wonder what he would have said about MGS4 and all the ps3 exclusives.

ZHuk is a hypocrite

[NegativeCreep427]

Like myself. SquareEnix would have to be on some great, Grade-A Crack to even CONSIDER it to be only on the Xbox 360. Drugs are bad, M'KAY!!!

[DanB91]

That E3 was Square's focus on xbox but now this even the focus goes back to Sony.

So if anything I would guess FF7 PS3.

[midgard229]

imagine wat wud happen if ff7 remake was exlcusive to 360 lol, mass suicide and riots, crime rates in japan wud sky rocket

[mistertwoturbo]

Still even then, Enix wouldn't give a damn.

I'm going to officially keep calling them Enix from now on. Square is too good for them.

[Mr_Showtime1]

Advent Children.

Mark my words people!

[vloeistof]

yuna rikku and pain party games for the wii.
cloud tennis for the wii.
vaan swimming for ds.
tidus blitzball games for the wii.
kh3 ??? multi

[Lionsguard]

FF7 remake for the PS3 would redeem SE plus a gratitude so big they could release the next 100 final fantasies 360 exclusive and I would overlook it.

[NoxiousD]

Exclusive RPGS to the 360 are now multiplatform for the PS3, and they have new trailers for FF13 and Versus. They said the ball is going back into Sony's corner.

[flexbox360]

if so then there will be massive ps3 fanboy suicides lol

[Leathersoup]

Square will only be making first person shooters using the Unreal Tournament 3 engine :D

[Nitrowolf2]

so more shocking news?
i mean the shocking news could be that they comfirm the game since they have not yet.

[NoxiousD]

shooter killing final fantasy characters using unreal!!! consider me sold! wait.... they better not be doing what i think they are... they are going to remake that shooter game that came on playstation 1....

[VMAN_01]

i Hope its a FFVIII remake, I much prefered it to FFVII and it should be PS3 exclusive since that game was born on the PS1.

[gerol]

i wish to have all ps ff to be all remade

[Hueco Muendo Leader]

over a final fantasy game like a lost ff13, thats hillarious

[juuken]

FFVII remake please.
Thank you.

And try not to f*ck it up Square.

[karlostomy]

Damn that's anger right there...

Hey Juuken-baby, wouldn't it be great if they f*cked up the ps3 version while making the 360 version awesome as per usual for multiplats?

[juuken]

...You're an idiot.

[Deadman64]

Actually, he isn't. In most cases this is true. Forwhatever reason, it is.

[juuken]

Um...no he's not.

FFXIII is being done on the PS3 FIRST and is being released in Japan. Once that's finished, then the 360 version will be worked on.

[Deadman64]

Did you read what he wrote or do you automatically disagree because your a fangirl?

I didn't realize that since the PS3 version comes out FIRST that it's 'impossible' for the 360 version to be better.

[juuken]

And you didn't read what *I* said. I read what he said. For anyone to think the 360 version will be worked on without a hiccup is wishful thinking.

You're just as stupid as he is.

[Deadman64]

lmao, honestly?

He said that most games that are multiplatform turn out better on the 360.

You said that the PS3 version is being worked on first, then the 360. He DID not say anything about TIME. It's still multiplatform.

And Juuken you don't even know me, you can't attack me!!!

[juuken]

You don't know me either.

What makes you think that will last? Multi-platform games are starting to look good on the PS3 as well. How long will 360 fanatics be able to brag about having the upper hand concerning graphics?

Think for a second and burst that overinflated ego that's swelling your head there.

[qface64]

seriously from what square enix them selves said i doubt its anything for the 360 like they said the reason they put 13 on the 360 is because they wanna support all 3 systems equally the 360 has 4 square enix games while right now the wii and ps3 has 2 each so im guessing its something for either the ps3 or the wii

[power of Green]

I love PS3 fanboy FF news lol.

Considering SE has neglected the 360 with quality developemnt this news can only be good for either platform or both.

SE is either catering to the PS3 fanboy's b*tching or they are further expanding in the western market(360 titles).

[mfwahwah]

Expanding their Western market at a private party in Japan? Think about it.

[power of Green]

Not following your point, are you saying this "Party" is for Japan and only Japan related news and the west is left out in total?
(meaning whats shown there will only be related to the PS3, 360 and Wii Japanese market and the gamers in the west should not care about this event).

You forgot to reply to the PS3 fanboys crying because SE is "further expanding in the western market(360 titles). Yet FF isn't even releasing on the 360 in Japan.

A Japanese meeting has nothing to do with what you are saying lol all it means is this is a regional show(Japan). Your logic suggest SE won't be talking about or showing more info on all known JRPG's lol. Think about it.

If you think about it this story is based on a event that happend for the western market and is opisite of you logic although I think both parties reasoning is ridiculous(yours and the article).

Think about it indeed.

[Ogrekiller]

Lvl 5. OH NOES!

[NoxiousD]

A lot of articles online, state that the huge announcement will put the ball back in Sony's corner i wonder, if it is indeed that a lot of the 360 exclusives they made are now coming to Sony as well.

[cooke15]

the sony boys are hoping square will do something to make them happy

[mistertwoturbo]

And the Nintendo boys hope WiiMusic wasn't announced.

[DevonTheDude535]

FF7 as a PSone classic on the PSN please (I'm dying to have FF7 on my PSP on the go), plus a FF7 remake on PS3 of coarse!

[cooke15]

something big for wii

[NoxiousD]

We all know its going to be final fantasy 7 playstation download as a bonus to the advent children complete collection. Also with a trailor of the remake on ps3

[NoxiousD]

Kingdom hearts 3 ps3 and wii its gonna happen

[QuackPot]

So long as Kingdom Hearts & FF come to the Ps3.

Doesn't matter if they go multiplat.

Only a problem if the get a revolutionary - with no equal - new IP and go exclusive.

[NoxiousD]

There may be an new ip coming to fill the final fantasy series? I wonder if infinite undiscovery is going to be microsofts answer to final fantasy

[willwsu]

If you don't work for em the money they make aint gonna go in your pocket. Whole things dumb. ALL console should get ALL games unless the manufacturer makes it or owns the rights, period. I f you like Final Fantasy then why would you not want the "gospel" of that game to be spread? That's not how you gain popularity, that's not how you make real money. Third parties should be just that, not playing sides of a coin.

[tojfs7931]

Square soft will announce that all future development of Final Fantasy games will be handled by EA.

I kid I kid.

[karlostomy]

"suicide support hotline" for disgruntled ps3 owners.

That would make sense right?

[Run_bare]

Square, below is what i need

Confirm Relase dates for FF XIII
Expected Release dates for FF XIII Versus

And FF7 for PS3. And also while you are at it, why not a Xenogears remake (Does anyone know if Square hold the rights for Xenogears or they sold it to Namco Bandai).

Ohh... why don't announce properly Star Ocean IV for PS3 since you guys Announce FF XIII for XBOX360.

[Citizen Cook]

Yes!

[NoxiousD]

It's going to be a digital copy of the original final fantasy 7 for PSN and a trailor for the remake soon to be released on ps3 in 2009 i bet it was a huge surprise since 13 went multiplatform

[xg-ei8ht]

The wii is getting ff exclusive. Fighting in realtime using the remotes.

[JasonXE]

publish ff7 for the pc? I think they have some rights to it maybe, idk.

[ustayclassyn4g]

it's like what bettanhausen said, ff13 will come to 360 and ps3 will get something else now

[godkiller]

Its ff7 remake for ps3,my brother works in japan for a publishing company.
He told me the other day he went to his japanese mates work place,they had 6 foot cut out of cloud with ps3 in big letters at the bottom.

My brouther hates consoles,but rang me from japan as he knows i play ff alot,and thought i might be interested.

[Leathersoup]

He works for "a" publishing company? I thought Sony published Final Fantasy. Nice try though. It's great when family members work for generic publishing companies. They get you such great scoops! :)

[riksweeney]

@Leathersoup

It's true. I was speaking to this bloke on Facebook, who knows a guy in Japan whose Dad empties the bins at Square Enix and he found a couple of poster mock ups for FFVII on the PS3.

He's not allowed to take anything out of the building, but he took some photographs on his cell phone but the X-Ray scanner at SE wiped his memory card so he couldn't upload them to the net.

[Blackcanary]

Could u get ur bro to send a Photo of the Cut out i really want to see that send me a PM and i'll give u my Email lol.

[DFresh]

FFXIII Versus (PS3 Exclusive)
Secret Game (PS3 Exclusive)

[Reibooi]

A interview I read recently said that the recent announcement of FFXIII put the ball in MS's court and that the announcement in August will put the ball back in Sony's court. That is a very bold statement considering it would have to be one hell of a shocker to do that. The thing that makes me wonder is that the only announcement that could really do that is a FFVII remake or sequel and they have consistently denied a remake is happening so does that mean a sequel? Guess we will have to wait and find out.

[Darrius Cole]

I thought FF7 was already released on PS years ago. Do you guys really think a remake of a 10 year-old game will sell that well.

[Bleucrunch]

I was really upest with them over making 13 going multiplatform but I guess I understand, but its still lame on their part.

[gunnerforlife]

im starting to think that the only reason sony let ff13 go to 360 as well. was so that they could get ff7 for the ps3 or keep ff13 and let ff7 go to the 360. and they choose ff7 over 13 which would be a wise choice.

[cloud 279]

I would choose FF7 over FF13 anyday

[pornflakes]

so 360 is dead in japan? Well ok.. the attach rate is higher as on PS3, owned.

And the PS3 isnt just a BIG LOL in Japan? Son ycant reach 3 Million after 3 years.. LOL! The PS2 did it 5 TIMES, YES 5 TIMES better than the PS3 in japan.. so i would say SONY and their playstation brand is DEAD and OWNED in Japan..

We dont need to talk about the 360 in Japan cause the xbox1 also did bad there.

I think the biggest looser in japan was anounced called !Playstation3!

[SuperSaiyan4]

Its definently got going to be anymore good news for PS3 fans lol.

[gunnerforlife]

a dident understand anything u just said???

[Wolf873]

if they decide to make any more FFs multiplatform, remake or further sequels. It just doesn't matter no more.

[gunnerforlife]

agreed theyve lost the trust they ones had from me

[ace3081]

You all act like you were told that the PS3 is dead and you can't buy games for it. FF13 is just a game and you are still getting it on the PS3. Its better that it is multi because more gamers can play and experince it. As far as a FF7 remake is concerned Square-Enix can do what ever they want with it reguardless of Sony. Square created it and if they want it to be multi then they can make it multi.

[zonetrooper5]

FF13 is coming out at the same time as the PS3 version in Europe and USA, however the PS3 has FF13 exclusive in Japan.

[Azailexx]

im sure its something that will make everyone happy. I cant see enix rolling the dice on another annoucement like at e3.

[Jamzz]

It's Tobal no. 3

[Lucreto]

It is going to be interesting to find out what it is. It is more exciting after what was said on the 1up podcast.

[Bladeslayer]

its going to be a sequel to final fantasy VII not advent children but a true sequel to final fantasy VII

[n00bzRtehgey]

Get those razors polished, you dumb fandroids.

[JokerSGS]

If Sony does hold rights to the FFVII game, I think this is the reason this hasn't been announced yet. SE wanted that title to go multiplatform and Sony kept preventing it from happening. So they workout an agreement to let FF XIII go to the 360 and keep Versus and a time zone exclusive in Japan to persuade SE to make the FFVII remake.

[Zulwarn]

Final Fantasy Versus XIII on 360

confirmed!

[3rik]

Something different. That is what I would want. Something not related to final fantasy. To be honest, I am kinda sick with final fantasy. But that may be because I think they arnt that good of games. Well, let me rephrase that. They are good, but not as great as people say. I did like kingdom hearts and final fantasy tactics, but they were still milking final fantasy with those. I want them to announce something new. Something that doesnt look like the cousin to final fantasy (Infinite undiscovery[dumbass name])

[aceman7]

What ever it is I hope it's good news for the PS3.... ONLY! Phuck Xbox, seriously. I hate to sound like a fanboy but loosing FF13 frigging hurt.

[uckitsayitchbay]

SE is just trying to keep themselfs in the media. Ever heard of the saying there is no bad publicity? thats all there trying to do. So my guess is they do make a huge announcement that way everyone is talking about them still and then another etc...

[Stinkinmushroom]

FF7 with spherier system like in FFX? YES! The spherier is the best system i ever played in a ff

[lewis]

i think they should relese it for both concels.

[xboxLOLnewayz]

haha, i like this idiot Noobzrtehgey, he makes me laugh..
but anyways, square enix are sell outs, they do anything for money.
square soft was so much better, they even made the best of the best FF games. Ever since square enix took over, the FF sales have dropped, and that is a confirmed fact. Now this??ahah,
n-e wayz, enix is lame. I could care less about em, i wish soft would come back. But if they made a new FF7 i would have to say, id love to play it. 7 had the all time best story line, not to mention best villian of all. Sephiroth is the shiz.
but once agin none of this was made by enix, all soft.
what did enix make? 10-2 where your a bunch of preppy ass b*tches runnin around, lame, vegnagun was fukin bad out though.
and lets not forget 12, LAME ASS storyline, EVER MORE LAME ASS CHARACTERS!LOL Vaan is a stupid little kid, penalo was hardly even spoke of, Fran was a damn overgrown bunny, Balthier was badass(my fav.), and so was Basch(kinda.) I like how they bruung back a series of dragons and sh*t in this game, and the final form of Vein has some killer ass moves, and look bad ass. But other then that it sucked, i went all the way through Hennes Mines (Revisisted at the hard levels) only to fight a REALLY hard esper(Zodiark) and it turns out he sucks balls. Then i got all mjy char to leve; 90 + and had to literally spend a whole day in the giant crystal(Near Giruvegan) and had the time of my life fixing up my gambits in order to beat Omega. Gambits come in handy at times, but i didnt really like em. And i know its probably the new age so i guess i gotta get used to it. Oh well.
Now lets talk about Emerald and Ruby weapons off 7.
Oh yeah i know the hardcore FF gamers know what im talkin about,
were they not a challange or what? How about the OMEGA(not ultimate) weapon found in Ultimecia's castle at the end of FF8?? Megiddio Flame does exactly 9998 damage, so you have to keep your health at 9999 at all times. Or one of the hardest of em all, Ozma found in chocobo sky garden in FF9? YEs these challanges were the ultimate thrills for use olden FF fanatics. But all the mewcomers wouldnt now sh*t about that would they? Especially these lame ass xbots.
Its a disgrace that 13 is going to the 360.
so i say fuk square enix, they are nothing but a bunch of money grabbing sellouts.(ahhh!!!Calm down kyle...breath...breath..)
okay im good. anyways i rest my case(whatever point i was trying to prove, i done and forgot!LMAO)

[ChickeyCantor]

Seriously i doubt FF7-remake will have the same impact ( concerning magic ) as it did back then.
It will be more of a new experience with a known story. Which could be a bad thing for people who will play FF7 for the first time(Never able to experience the magic of it back then but i guess they can get their hands on it but i doubt most gamers of today can even look at such game (PS1 gfx and all )).

And really really hope they will use some japanese Voice actors

[xboxLOLnewayz]

By the way Zulwarn, if thats your real face....
you look goofy as fuk...
&&& fuk whoever just disagreed with me, obviously you know nothing about the FF series..
God, i cant believe Square enix put us in a postioin like this. Now we have to defend the damn FF series from these....things.LOL
Take a look at Juuken, shes battling like half the damn first page.
Dont worry though, i got your back! :P
Its like that movie "the one" at the very end theres like 1000 people running up the mountain wanting to kill him and he is just beating the sh*t out of them all as they reach the top.
except PS3 is "the one" beating off all the little xbots.LOL

[Zulwarn]

you dont look so hot yourself mr "i wear sun-glasses in the dark"

[xboxLOLnewayz]

hold on, let me cry for a sec. Why do you say such mean things?lol
oh i am so terribly sorry, i forgot, you dont want to put the real you there cuz your probobly some little ass kid, or maybe an uglier mo'fuker then what you already have.
Mr big bad Zulwarn, please dont insult my glasses anymore!
im so scared, especially when i have some goofy guy with the picture of a chynise man, that looks like he is about to take a wade of nutt in the face, for his display pic.
real cool kid, real cool.LOL

[Zulwarn]

yeah i know im cool and i dont need any outfit for that
my coolness just comes naturally

too bad i cant say the same thing about you... not with retarded oufit ......is that milk? in your hand lol
