Many fans of the seventh entry in the Final Fantasy series are up in arms over Square Enix trolling its fans yet again by not showing the long anticipated remake. Fret not though. Here are seven reasons why the announcement may not be as bad as you might think.
The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.
The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
Trophies, does it have trophies?!? I'm buying it again to experience with my 3 year old daughter and while I was disappointed that it's not a remake, I am confident we'll be seeing a proper FFVII (or seauel) in the near future. Hopefully square doesn't poop the bed on it. But on the other hand, the company seems so out of touch with its base that some doubts linger.
It's not bad, but there was no reason to debut it the way they did.
It should of been a quick announcement .
No reason to bring over a guy from square from Japan
It's not that it was bad. It's just the way they presented it, was bad.
Well you can already buy it on Steam for cheap. Think I picked it up for like 5.99-7.99 quite a bit ago.
Why does this matter?
It's Final Fantasy VII not Far Cry 4. A budget Best Buy PC from the Bush era will run it.'
Minimum requirements are as follows
OS:Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 (32/64bits)
Processor:2GHz
Memory:1 GB RAM
Graphics:DirectX 9.0c-compatible graphic card
DirectX®:9.0c
Hard Drive:3 GB HD space
So yeah. Any person with an ANCIENT PC has already been able to buy this game, and for cheap as hell, for quite a while.
Thus making any console announcement not really a big deal. Except for the few that don't have some old PC/laptop lying around, which in this age, is pretty much no one.
Its insulting. Perhaps in regards to Square and Sony both. They could just as well allowed the PS1 library onto the PS4, but instead there's this one title which will likely cost $15 or more because - somehow - extra effort has gone into a freakin' port.
