that means ... i need to stay away from anything ff related soon ha

DivineHand1252d ago

How is square able to keep up with their normal release cadence while other studios can't?

Chard2d ago

Same (unreal) engine, and more importantly same dev team. Also helps that this is part 3 of a game that essentially already exists

TricksterArrow2d ago

Also, same world map and same assets, for the most part.

andy852d ago

We've probably only seen half the world and a lot will have to be redesigned for highwind travel. It's not a yakuza situation 😂

Goodguy012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Probably an early 2027 release. Also odd we haven't gotten anything kh4 related since that first trailer, that game better show up soon unless nomura is doing crazy things again bringing development hell...again.

Eonjay91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

According to recent reports the third game is already complete. This game should definitely be out before PS6. Also I hope they switch to UE5.

CrimsonWing6991d ago

Can you link me to these reports? That doesn’t sound right at all. I think the story/scenario is complete, but the game itself is not.

ZeekQuattro91d ago

There isn't one. Gematsu has an article saying the game is reported to be in its 9th month of development. Far from complete.

Cacabunga90d ago

Remake unfortunately did not turn into the system seller i thought it would be

Yui_Suzumiya91d ago

2026 at the absolute earliest and 2028 at the latest.

Extermin8or3_91d ago

Ok so this headline is as misleading as they get. The game is still clearly going to be a playstation timed exclusive. He is referring to if it will be next gen only or cross-gen.

Cockney90d ago

Unless gamepass give them a stack of money then the only other place apart from playstation is pc

ravens5290d ago

Exactly. But there's people spinning it saying it won't be a Playstation timed exclusive .

andy8590d ago

I mean obviously. It won't even be a PS6 game it'll be a PS5 game. And probably the trilogy as a PS6 remaster

gold_drake90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

of course not

it will be on the ps5 still
but it makes me wonder why he said that. does that mean it comes out around the dame time as the ps6? or shortly before that?

No please. Just end it.

It’s being milked at this point and it’s sad to see.

Just wrap it up and move on to another FF game.

bionicstar131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

How is this game being milked? only 3 games + dlc released so far.

-Foxtrot131d ago

You're kidding right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Final Fantasy VII
Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Last Order: Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII Snowboarding
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
Dirge of Cerberus: Lost Episode: Final Fantasy VII
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
On the way to a smile: Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete
Final Fantasy VII The Kids Are Alright: A Turks Side Story
Final Fantasy VII G-Bike
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Then we have

Final Fantasy VII - Remake Part III

How is VII not milked at this point? It even has it's own wiki page man. VII got a compilation years ago, why do we need another? Let other Final Fantasy games have their time to shine man.

bionicstar131d ago

@foxtrot, including all the games from the FF7 shouldn't count, only the remake games should. maybe you're feeling this is getting milked because SE keeps talking about it and not just releasing the game

-Foxtrot131d ago

Lmao

Why do they not count?

Remake is a sort of sequel to the original

It totally counts, why can’t people just admit VII has been milked to death over the years. Jesus. It doesn't make you a bad person if you agree or something.

MrBlais130d ago

New drinking game idea: Take a shot/drink every time -Foxtrot says, “Milked” and see if you can survive the hour.

Z501130d ago

"including all the games from the FF7 shouldn't count"

Why shouldn't they count when that was his point?
"It's being milked" = "FF7 is being milked"

solideagle131d ago

my hunch says they are already looking to remake 8 or 9 or maybe X

MDTunkown131d ago

Nvidea leak from couples of years ago was saying ff9 remake is coming to steam

Babadook7131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

It's the best FF we've had in decades. So I disagree with the sentiment (regarding it being milked).

Michiel1989131d ago

it can be the best final fantasy you had in a while and at the same time it's being milked.

Babadook7131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

I had?

What’s the last FF game that had a MC score of 94 or higher?

Michiel1989130d ago

Endwalker and Shadowbringer got 90 and 92, not that MC is a good metric for it, cause it scored 2 or 4 points lower than that number it's all of a sudden not a good game that recently released?

you're not getting the point he was making though, this team could also make a great game not in the final fantasy 7 universe, since there are so many games about it already.

Babadook7130d ago (Edited 130d ago )

"cause it scored 2 or 4 points lower than that number it's all of a sudden not a good game that recently released?"

Yes this is pretty key actually. I said this was the best FF in decades and you challenged that as just my opinion. My statement stands.

Sure. In theory they could make new characters and build a new world, but going by the MC scores I think it's pretty unlikely to be as great. Personally, I like these characters and think the conversion is successful. People were literally clamouring for a remake for decades. It's silly to assert that this is somehow milking the IP.

Inverno131d ago

Yea people really don't know just how much 7 related games there really is. I understand many think it's the best FF they've gotten in years, but maybe Square should put more effort into making a FF that's actually great rather milking 7 for nostalgia sake.

-Foxtrot131d ago

You know what the funny thing is, I think Rebirth would have been a better game if it wasn’t tied to VII and was a single mainline FF game.

You wouldn’t have people comparing the story to the original

You wouldn’t have to recreate iconic scenes and having people disappointed if they don’t hold up.

You wouldn’t have to stretch out the story for sequels and pad the game with repetitive mini games

They need this as a template for FFXVII

Exvalos131d ago

But its okay for other franchises? Mario, Sonic etc.....?

-Foxtrot131d ago

Mario and Sonic do new titles, they don’t do things like

Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Sunshine: Advent Sunrise
Super Mario Sunshine: Crises Sol
Before Sunset: Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Sunshine: Remake
Super Mario Sunshine: Sunbirth
Super Mario Sunshine: Water Surfing
Super Mario Sunshine: G-Kart
Super Mario Sunshine: The First Sunlight
Super Mario Sunshine: A Peach Sidestory

It’s a totally different scenario, if that was the case I’d have complained that Final Fantasy in general is “milked” but they just focus on VII while the others are left to rot.

Rebel_Scum131d ago

eh for the main story yes. I’d like to see the Professor Gast, Vincent and Lucrecia back story extended as that was a cool bit in the og.

Cacabunga131d ago

Or let us fans enjoy as long as the quality is there..
yes I want this team to give us other FF7 related quality software.

You don’t want them don’t buy them.

neutralgamer1992131d ago

Fox

Like you said it's not one to one remake so they can always add more content. If there is demand so be it

gold_drake131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

hard disagree

i want a ancients history dlc.
dont play it if they do. we know how u feel about it at this point.

-Foxtrot131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

I’m don’t hate the game, I just hate the milking

Letting it be milked is just going to let it get to that point where eventually they’ll over exploited it to the point where even someone like you will get tired of it and suddenly wonder “how did it get to this point”, maybe even thinking they’ve ruined a good thing they had going for it.

Let’s not play the “don’t play it if they do” card because all you’re doing is brushing criticism off and honestly when there’s so many other FF games that deserve a sequel, prequel or whatever it just comes off super selfish tbh.

Miraak82 131d ago

By the time the 3rd part comes out it'll be almost 30 years since the OG released , with the list you mentioned excluding the episode/minigame type content it's hardly been milked . There was also a 13 year gap from 2007-2020 where no FF7 content was released .. now how is that milking ?!?!

UltimateOwnage130d ago

lol. Foxtrot is clearly not one of the “fans” they’re talking about who love the FF VII universe.

+ Show (8) more repliesLast reply 130d ago
Goodguy01131d ago

Idk. I'd rather they just remake some of the other FFs, VII can fully conclude after part 3 imo.

solideagle131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

I hope they make vincent valentine crit build with deadth blow that skill with 100% accuracy gun got me through entirety of OG FF VII :D till I got my hands on KOTR summon etc...

I also hope they can give a materia with all elements in it Fire, Ice, Wind and thunder and hopefully multiple of those, so we wouldn't have to swap around for challenges...as we all know magic is OP in this game

hopefully they can give some love physical skills as well.

franwex131d ago

As much as I enjoy the FF7 universe. I would like to move on after part 3.

Knightofelemia131d ago

I'd like to see some other games get the FF7 treatment like say Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Grandia. Or another FF game I know there are fans of FF9 who would like a remake I wouldn't mind an FF8 remake.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 Airship Will Allow Players To Fly Freely Across The World Map

The airship in part 3 of Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy will allow players to fly freely around the game's world map.

Cacabunga161d ago

Again nothing new if you played the original.

gold_drake161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

dont buy it then, this notion of brining others exciting down is so odd to me.

its rly that easy. i for one cant wait.

aaronlif10161d ago

The original game came out in 1997. Old concept sure, but it's good to know they are making it possible with the graphics and size of the current version.

CrimsonWing69161d ago

Like it’s funny to me how big of a deal the airship is for some. Don’t get me wrong, I like the inclusion and I am curious what it’ll be like, but for the OG it was just nice to traverse the world map freely and quickly with it. It never was a feature that blew my mind or I said to myself I missed. If anything I miss the traditional JRPG world map and I think games like Ni No Kuni did an excellent job of making it look modern while still feeling traditional. I kind of wish that still existed in a sense with the Remake.

Redgrave160d ago

It is because there hasn't been a FF since 9 that gave you full airship control on the map, as opposed to selecting locations on a map or something heavily neutered from that old experience we remember.

That's why it's a being treated as it is.

CornholioX160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

Yes, i remember that. FF9 was the last FF game that was possible with an airship to fly. FF10 has it too but can't fly around, more like fast travel to each location you want.

FF7 is still in my opinion the best game. FF7 Remake was a small start but expanded from original in Midgar. FF7 Rebirth is something we got alot to see in an open world but not everything is shown, more like 65% of the world we saw from the original open world. The third installment will be a blast what we will see in an open world to fly around.

It is sad that sales weren't enough in FF7 Rebirth. That game was so freaking awesome! The best FF game with an open world and huge difference from FF16. Don't get me wrong, i like FF16 aswell but it's new and FF7 is well known from the original open world.

MrNinosan160d ago

There was no game from FFIX until FFXV. Sure, not a classic airship, but a vehicle that can take you anywhere through the sky.

I'm very happy they seem to solve this also in FFVII Rethird 🙌

FinalFantasyFanatic160d ago

I also miss the overworld from modern JRPGs, FF7R was so overly ambitious that the Highwind has to be a big deal in the remake, I honestly would have been okay with a modernised version of the over world.
