Final Fantasy 7 on PS4 is a Giant Middle Finger to Fans

"Let’s not kid ourselves here, Square Enix knew what we were all thinking. Final Fantasy 7 on PS4 = the remake everyone wanted. In fact, recently Kotaku posted an article citing that it’s the game everyone wants remade. So what does Square decide to do? Reveal the game as another port. Oh, wait it’s the PC port so it’ll have annoying midi tracks, but that’s cool, right?! No it isn’t, Square. No it isn’t. "

I have never been so happy then sad within 1 minute in my life! I hope we at least get trophy support I guess:-/

RashBandicoot3428d ago

It's times like these I feel Square Enix is owned by Sephiroth and is trying to make us all feel "the ultimate despair".

vishmarx3428d ago

the saddest part is i might even buy this.

the keynote was excellent.so many damn games
those hoping for ff7 remake are idiots, why would SE make something like that to slaughter xv.

freshslicepizza3428d ago

talk about a money grab for basically doing nothing. i would buy a hd remaster version as im sure so would many others.

FullmetalRoyale3428d ago

*plays One-winged Angel on iPod and cries*

Inception3428d ago

Correction:
Sephiroth as CEO and Monokuma as his right hand

No wonder SE gave a lot of super hyper ultimate despair to their fans this past years >.<

breakpad3428d ago

SquareCrapness lost it completely .they began with FFXIII and now troll with FFVII ..i wish a remake of FFVII never be made from the current SquareCrap...guys just sell the IP to Sony they ll handle it better

UltraNova3428d ago

God damn it Square you'll never learn...I'm beyond disappointed. I think its time for me to show you the middle finger.

Whoever is in charge at Square Enix DOES NOT "get it".

They are so beyond out of touch it's not even worth joking about anymore.

Athonline3428d ago

I think they are scared. If they do an HD remake that doesn't work, they will be in deep trouble.

Re-releasing the game still will get them a descent low-risk income and they keep the remake playing card. If they ever get desperate for a quick surge money, then they can do an HD-remake and call it a day.

FF VII remake and Half-Life 3 are both highly wanted and hyped games making any development/release decision harder as they know people will be more judgmental.

HaMM4R3428d ago

They could just give it the halo treatment, eg keep the original game 100% the same and then just replace all the assets then there is no chance of that. God forbid though developers actually invest money and time into their titles.

lipton1013428d ago

I'd rather never hear about it again vs being teased with this bs.

blackblades3428d ago

I was like o snap new jrpg, then was like holy crap FFVII remake, then the remaster was announce and I was like WTH.

Eyeco3428d ago

Honestly I'm astonsihsed, it was a grand masterpiece in the art of modern trolling, perfection, god-tier, glorious It will be remembered for years to come semper fi Square Enix I applaud you.

Its not a middle finger.

More of a "we honestly think you're that stupid" kind of thing.

jambola3427d ago

Yeah, because when people hear "final fantasy 7 is coming to ps4, that's the first thing that people think of, a port,
like if naughty dog came out tomorrow saying crash bandicoot was coming to ps4, all the smart people would think of the ps1 games coming to it.

GameDev13428d ago

I laughed tbh

trolled everyone

maniacmayhem3428d ago

Talk about ruining the excitement...like that guy who throws up in the middle of the dance floor while the jam is on.

llxKonanxll3428d ago (Edited 3428d ago )

I think it's hilarious. We asked for Final Fantasy VII on the Ps4.. And Square Enix gives us Final Fantasy VII on the PS4. Damn Square.

KwietStorm_BLM3428d ago

We've been asking for a FFVII remake since they first showed that tech demo before PS3 even came out. Nobody asked for the PC FFVII on PS4.

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?

ravens5217d ago

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.

MrNinosan17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

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

ravens5216d 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.

VIK212116d ago (Edited 16d 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

MrNinosan16d ago

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

ravens5216d ago

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

ravens5216d 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.

Barlos17d ago (Edited 17d 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.

Tapani16d ago

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

Rebel_Scum17d ago

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

I_am_Batman17d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim16d 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_Scum16d ago (Edited 16d 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.
