FFX HD opens a way for a FF VII Remake

In an interesting interview between FFDream.com and the couple, Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama, the french fansite came back with a good information : "If we did want to do [a FF VII Remake], we have to sit down and think carefully what would be the best possible way to do that. It could be a remaster like X/X-2 HD Remaster or possibly a full remake. This time, it’s our first ever HD Remaster attempt."

A open door for dreamers for sure.

The interview focused on FF X HD explained that a Final Fantasy prequel with Braska, Jetch and Auron was very close to be produced.

Square Enix need more skills to Remake FFVII. Feel Free to give them your skills in remaking FFVII.

[Colzer01]

Gamers already asked too much with them. At least let them focus on developing XV and KHIII. I don't want both games got delayed because they developing so much games at once

[Mr_Nuts]

Want to know why we have asked too much of them....because they never give us what we want and they never listen to us.

The list of things we want is getting bigger and bigger. Thats why it seems we want too much.

If they did a FF7 years ago when they were told then it wouldn't be so bad now and I bet they wouldn't be having financial problems

[Colzer01]

Dont' be too greedy, people want Versus, and they give that to us at E3 + Kingdom Hearts III for long compesation.

And now they're working at FFX FFX-2 HD, KH1.5 HD, and Lightning Returns (the game that using Versus mechanic)+ KHIII and XV for next gen... I'm pretty sure after KH1.5 released, there will be KH2.5 later before they release the KHIII.

It's a bunch of titles, not mention there's KH3D and KH BBS which both are a pretty good games in my opinion.

Meaning, I want they to focus on XV to test their new-Luminous engine, and of course Kingdom Hearts III.. after that, there's a plenty of time to working on VII remake

"Dont' be too greedy, people want Versus, and they give that to us at E3 + Kingdom Hearts III for long compesation."

I don't think fans are being greedy at all. It has been 8 years since the last numbered KH title was released and 7 years since FFvsXIII was originally announced.

It's not unreasonable to be a little impatient after waiting almost a decade for a game. If Square didn't want that sort of expectation, they shouldn't announce games so early in development without knowing when they will be able to release them.

[JetP0619]

@ colzer, lightning returns is not using the same engine as versus. its an updated crystal tool engine. Luminous engine is on next gen.

Though I agree FF15 and Kingdom hearts 3 need to come out first, an announcement of these other games that people wish for would create a huge positive buzz in the community that supports the idea of Remakes.

[showtimefolks]

How owns the right for FF7?

I know Sony invested money and in one of the interviews mark Cenry spoke with developing FF7

[Need4Game]

Get FFX HD sold 20 million copies to secure FFVII remake!

[Whitey2k]

If they where smart and used there heads they could of still be half way by now with them showing a techibcal demo back in 2005

[Whitey2k]

But then if they did I think alot of ps4 will shift alot of units since FF7 is contracted to sony

[VsAssassin]

I'd rather see them create a real numbered FF game for the next gen of consoles. Name changing FFvs13 to FFXV for me was kinda lazy. I was kinda expecting FFXV to be at least within the same universe as the one featured in the latest tech demo.

[showtimefolks]

I am very interested in FFversus or 15 because its not a turned based combat system

I like how it's all real time can't wait to find out more

[sephiroth420]

id rather see alot of other ff remakes before 7, i wish they would make a 10-3 but do the story of braska jecht and auron, ahwell i can i hope lol

[WitWolfy]

I would've rather of wanted that as a FF X-2 then that fan service shit we got back in the day.

[sephiroth420]

yeah i agree, havnt played it all the way through yet though maybe played about 2 hours of it years ago, is it really that shit? i mean does it not pick up later on in the game?

[WitWolfy]

Well lets just say its a pointless sequel.

[Lionsguard]

I don't trust a remake of VII in the hands of SE. If they do attempt it, they first must gather every single person that helped develop the original, janitor included. If it is done, it MUST be done in FFVII style. I don't want to see anything that would tell me that it was influenced by other FF games,such as, no Bahamut Sin which strikes me more of a FFX summon.

[carlingtat]

I wish people would stop talking about this. Its not going to happen plain and simple. I'd rather they left everything past VII(except what they are now doing with X) and do a remake for I-VI however that would take even longer and would be like making a brand new game since they were 2D.

[blackberty]

Can't wait for FFXHD, so glad they remade this. Don't really care about FF7, so overrated.

[Craigatorian]

It's not overrated, you had to play it when it first came out for it to truly become one of your favorites

[Ilwrath]

I played it when it came out. Still overrated.

In fact I played every one before 7 when they came out. 7 killed the series for me.

[fsfsxii]

Nor really, i'm playing the game now and consider it one of my all time favorites

[clouds5]

Just play FFX with PS2 emulator PCSX2. Boom you have FFX HD.

If they do something with FF7 is HAS to be a remake. They just released an HD version of FF7 for PC...

Feels like all Square does atm is releasing strange games with the Final Fantasy name (that shouldnt have the FF name on it) and releasing their old games as HD or remake versions...

[WitWolfy]

Thats exactly what their doing sadly.

[GeckoPutt]

I completely disagree with your first comment. You only have to look at this link to see that there is a massive difference. Whilst the emulation does look great, all it does is up the resolution. SquareEnix have completely redrawn the textures for playable characters, non-playable characters and landscapes, not to mentioned improved the user interface.

[clouds5]

Yeah not such a big difference imho. And I guess on PS3 it will be 720p without anti-aliasing again... When you see pictures in motion 720p and 1080p /w AA is a huge difference. Yeah it will look slightly better with the textures and polygon updates in the HD remake. But not worth spending money again for me^^

[Phoenix76]

Sadly a ff7HD remake will proberly never come about :-( remember the tech demo from about 7 yrs ago? We all had our hopes up then had them crushed by being told that SE will never do it. Shame really, I brought on ps1 and ps3.

[GeckoPutt]

I am very excited for this game. I just wish they'd announce a release date already so that we know where we stand... It's getting closer and close to the end of the year and we still don't know anything...

I'm a little disappointed that Kitase and Toriyama brushed off the question about Last Mission being included in the HD Remaster. Whilst it didn't receive a great reception, it's still part of the FINAL FANTASY X & X-2 series and as this will most probably be the last time these games are touched by developers, I want to be able to have access to ever nuance these games offer - including Last Mission. Developers need to ensure that they are giving us everything they can included with this game before they leave it alone for (most probably) ever.

[chikane]

@GeckoPutt

Agree on the Last Mission Part -_-
