Could a Final Fantasy VII Sequel Be In the Offing?

PC World writes: "Note, importantly, that I said "sequel" and not "remake," something radically different from the annual rumormongering about this most famously venerated installment in Square Enix's inexhaustible roleplaying series getting more than a little nip and tuck. Devotees of Final Fantasy VII beg perennially for a remake, but what if Square Enix decided to do a true sequel and call it Final Fantasy VII-2?"

sequel to Crisis core on my PS3! ;)

Domenikos5915d ago

Actually FFVII remake or sequel exclusive for PS3 is the only freaking thing that can redeem SONY for loosing FFXIII exclusive...(dumba$$es)

B-Rein5915d ago

..... i want on ps3, after playin crisis core ive gone crazy (i never played it on ps1)

Hellsvacancy5915d ago

A remake would b great but i think people would judge it 2 much and keep comparing it with the original, but on the other hand ill b happy with either but a Sequel would b better

jkoz5915d ago

Make a remake and a sequel in the same game. That would sell more PS3 units and counteract that FF13 for 360 announcement.

Baba19065915d ago

ff13 for the what now? ...... i dont think so.

UnSelf5915d ago

I completely agree, Sony really f*cked themselves over for that last stunt. Sumthing big better happen tomorrow........or 360 has just made the gap in the race that much smaller.

a FFVII remake or sequel is the only thing wit enough fame to turn this thing back around.

Itll be effing glorious if the same guy who announced 13 goin to 360, makes the announcement of the 7 remake lol

jkoz5915d ago

Yes, it was announced about a half hour ago that FF13 is being released for the Xbox 360 as well.

Baba19065915d ago

really? wow. didnt see that coming. thats just wow. is there any news about that?

jkoz5915d ago

Yes, that would be awesome. He needs to be back and rock Sony's conference tomorrow somehow, be it FF7 remake, sequel, FF8 remake, FF9 remake... awhile ago they mentioned the three titles being remade for PS2 but it got put on the back burner, maybe if that terrible threesome got an announcement for the PS3, the FF13 wound will heal, somewhat. That and Kingdom Hearts III, God of War III.... Sony's still got some, but their exclusive have dropped like flies. These next 24 hours as a PS3 owner are surely not hours of fun anticipation, I'll say that much.

UnSelf5915d ago

well said my good chap.........not fun at all, but exciting nonetheless, i have faith in this machine

INehalemEXI5915d ago

I died inside just a little when I witnessed the FF Bomb. Is nothing sacred anymore?

Wolf8735915d ago

Agreed. I am really hoping for something colossal from Sony to counter the recent FF-13 loss, and no GoW-3 won't do it. It has to be something else entirely.

titntin5915d ago

Seriously?? You guys are that upset that 360 owners will get to play FF13?

Its just gone multi plat - its not like its dropped from Ps3 or anything? More people get to play it.. fine by me. If you want to play sily kid machine wars, you can take solace in the fact that it will be a minimum of 4 discs on 360 and just one bluray for PS3...

If it had gone exc lusive to 360, I might have understood the reaction.. but it simply multi plat. IMHO its about the only raised eybrow you could get from the MS announcements for a core gamer - if you want familly titles and you like the movie downloads there was more, but there were no suprises for core gamers except this..

It will be interesting to see what the other two companies have to get our toungues wagging, but a game going multiplat is hardly a killer blow! I suspect they are saving up their Halo announcement for tomorrow to counter what I expect to eb a whole host of core games announced by Sony tomorow...

jkoz5915d ago

Yes, it actually is a big deal. A lot of people invested in a Playstation 3 for this game, they knew before it would stay exclusive, and now Square has doubled back and announced the prize they wanted for another system entirely. Those actually rooting for the PS3 know that this is a giant hit to the system and that this is one of the, if not THE biggest exclusive they had left up their sleeve. Now people waiting to buy a PS3 for FFXIII may sway the way of the 360, which will hurt Sony sales and in turn make the PS3 a less desirable platform to develop for, seeing as the install base for 360 is much larger and now there's less of a chance that people will buy a PS3. I know at least twenty people personally that were going to invest in a PS3 for this game and now will not be, since they already own, or will get instead, an Xbox 360. So yeah, this is a pretty huge deal.

titntin5915d ago

@ jkoz

Sorry dude, but I just don't see it that way.

Of course exclusives help to sell systems a bit (but not nearly as much as people would have you believe), but this title becoming multi platform is not a 'killer blow' and really doesn't do much damage at all if you look at the big picture.

.. I know it won't make me popular to say so, but the reason its getting so much ridculous comment is simply this: BRAGGING RIGHTS.

People simply don't like the fact that this title can't waved in the face of the 'opposition'. I assume most of you own PS3's?? You are still getting the title and it will be just as good as it was going to be, so the main reason you are piss*d is simply because you didn't want to share your toys with the 'enemy'. Anyone with any objectivity would see this...

I'll still be buying this on PS3 where i can have it on one disc. I don't begrudge anyone from having it on the 360, just as I don't begrudge anyone playing the 'improved' Bioshock on PS3.

Apart from bragging rights for the kiddies on the net, few real punters will be swayed the game being multi plat. If you are a real fan of games, you'd be rooting for Square to make the proper returns on the title they'll get from going multi, so that they can continue to make great games in the future. Its the game thats important to me - not which piece of electronics I use to play it on..

The effort here is impressive. Hope it doesn’t get taken down.

fr0sty46d ago

He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.

solideagle46d ago

ah Dreams had so much potential, I think they should have released it on PC. one can only dream about dreams sale and popularity on PC. PC has modding/creative crowd and I think it would have been a hit

gleepot46d ago

I love seeing projects like this. So much passion and time.

No mention of fixing the audio issues the dialogue audio is too low this has been reported many times on social media the volume has to be turned up and music has to be lowered to hear the characters properly :(

Babadook7109d ago

I have a question as someone who is considering buying the game soon. Is this a fixable issue? Can you just lower the volume for music and sound effects and keep dialog at default?

shadowT109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

yes, it is no issue at all. Just go into settings. Do you have already played the first Remake or the OG?

M3talDiamond109d ago

There are a few youtube videos and reddit tips with some tips on fixing the sound issues but sadly they didnt work for me

M3talDiamond109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

@Babadook7 There are a few videos on youtube with tips on how to fix the dialogue audio this but sadly they didnt work for me. There is an option to lower the music and sfx and keep the dialogue audio at 10 but you have to keep the volume up high (well for my TV I do) but when you are in battles and cutscenes the audio is higher so you have to adjust the audio again.
@shadowT The audio issues doesnt affect everyone there are some people on reddit complaining about the audio and there are other people saying they dont have any issues at all. I think it depends on the TV I have a Samsung QLED 4K and FF7 Rebirth is the only game I have audio issues with.

Babadook7109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

Thanks for the answers all.

@Shadow yeah I have the Remake and finished it and loved it (loved the OG also back in the day). My understanding is this is even better than Remake.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Understands That A Tonberry Is The Scariest Thing In The World

The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.

Yes Tonberry is terrifying..

MeteorPanda141d ago

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.

Hofstaderman140d ago

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda140d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.
