Final Fantasy VII Remake Confirmed in Crisis Core?

Look into the stars, what do you see? A Final Fantasy VII remake on the horizon maybe? Look at the images at the link for the ending to Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (no major spoilers, you've seen most of it before).

[Umbrella Corp]

i would kill to see sephiroth in hd!

[Rythrine]

Sepiroth and Odin in HD for me :)

Edit: @ Risk

Lol, Shiva would look good in HD though I can't remember her FF7 animation cuz I barely use her since her magic was weak. Oh yeah, Neo Bahamut will be awesome in HD as well.

[risk]

pfft all u f4gs thinking about guys. ITS ALL ABOUT SHIVA!

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

I don't know the timeline, but Crisis Core isn't placed before Final Fantasy VII? Maybe it's only that...

But, still ,with or without the validation of Crisis Core ending, I hope for a FF VII remake on the PS3, would just be great! And I'll play Crisis Core while waiting.

[Droynas]

This game is set before FF VII so I this rumor is gaga. They only mean that the story will go on if you play FF VII.

Sure everyone hopes for a remake, including me. I would love for a remake to be done. And I'm almost sure that there will be one but not right now. Just look at all the new games they are working on right now. In the future, let's say 4-5 years, there will be a remake. But you who are thinking that Square is working on one in secret will be disapointed..

[TriggerHappy]

Downloading Crisis Core right now. It has been released btw, in jap lang though

[TeaDouble_E]

What do you mean downloading Crisis Core ?

[TriggerHappy]

Torrent has been released....but will be getting the game when it launches in the US.

[spammy_nooo]

ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL

HAHA just kidding i do it to.(or do I???)

now i just need to learn japanese... maybe i should wait :)

Honestly though, how could square NOT remake FFVII? it'd be a f*cking money train for them. plus it would move BILLIONS of ps3's so more people would buy other games they are making for it as well. there is no downside to a remake as long as they dont make any stupid changes.

[chanto23]

Can you give me a link or something?? this might make me buy a new PSP...

[Bnet343]

If you do it, it makes the PSP way better then a DS. It's the only reason I got a PSP, for that kind of thing. I don't play japanese game so I'll wait for US version.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Well, I don't "download", just wait the American or European version then I'll buy it...

[WilliamRLBaker]

yeah the torrent is big...lol

AS for that...*shakes head* its just sad that square is gonna remake that game, It sucked in my personal opinion...but thats just that opinion, Whats even sadder is how much they are milking that game, There has been an anime, an 3rd person shooter *which sucked and thats not opinion* an snow boarding mobile game, This game...Appearances in tactics, An CGI animated movie...another mobile game released in japan, another mobile game with a ""lost"" episode of the 3rd person shooter, they are making a sequal to the 3rd person sucky shooter....

its just sad...
Instead of puting all they're effot into new ip's new final fantasies, Or hell REmaking actual good games *ff6, or chrono trigger* they remake this stuff and make endless spinoffs...sad sad *shakes head*

Above is personal opinion if u dont like it. then....tough:)

[Demon1980]

Who gives a fauk? I also do not see how it is sad...? If it makes them money...why not? They are a business, are they not. And if this game is anywhere near as good as the original, it will sell millions.

Final Fantasy is one of the longest running game series to-date, and it's showing no signs of stopping any time soon. You go ask any kid under the age of 16, maybe even older if he'd ever play a PS1 game, and you'd probably get a "NO, those graphics are so crappy and old!". It makes sense to remake the best Final Fantasy game ever made (I realize that's not how you feel, but the majority believe the best to be FF7) and give the younger generations the same great experience we had. I'm still a retro gamer at heart, hell I played through FF7 again just last winter, but i'm no fool. The majority of kids who didn't grow up in that era won't give the time or day to play something outdated.

As for them milking.. yes they milked it after deciding to make the movie, but the movie had been begged to be made by the fans, it wasn't just some ploy to make more money. The fact that a company actually listened to it's fans is a GREAT thing, not something to sneer at. I could care less about the spin-off games though as well, Final Fantasy is an RPG series, don't turn the franchise into another Mario franchise that touches every genre.

edit- Oh, and I hope they don't remake Chrono Trigger. I honestly can't see how they could turn a 2D game into a 3D game and call it a remake. The entire game would be COMPLETELY different. Atleast with FF7 it would still be the same world dimensionally, just updated graphics.

[Biphter]

Just curious as to what you think of Nintendo and their Mario Franchise......

[commadore65]

Chrono trigger would benefit more from a remake than ff7.

they remade ff3 in 3d, and are doing 4 now. Those 2d games are great too but surely the kids you're talkin of are more likely to give a 3d game a chance than a 2d one.

also ff7 had static backgrounds how often did the camera move about when out of battle? so the same changes in gameplay would apply as in chrono trigger.

[rev20]

HAHAHAHA funniest thing ive read all this week

What about Halo 1,2,3 halo wars.

haha what a hypocrite halo mountain dew for god sake, but that games allowed to do it haha.

I mean come on i know your bias as hell but that comment is just plain stupid many games base stuff around a succesful franchise.

A remake will sell so well so why not its still the best game ever made in alot of peoples minds.

[B Man]

I still enjoy the platform marios, mario galaxy looks amazing... but i'm sick and tired of these "Mario Tennis, Mario Baseball, Mario Party", ect...

[Darkiewonder]

I still smell a different spinoff rather than the REAL FFVII.

[sonarus]

that would be a killer sony announcement for TGS

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Man it seems like there is gonna be a remake, but then again if you look at the actual time line Crisis Core took place before FF7. So they could have done that to tease people. OR maybe a psp remake? Hopefully not PSP, I don't wanna play it on that.

[WAR_MACHINE77]

I really doubt they will remake it. They just seem to get off on teasing everyone.

[Rythrine]

Man, I really do hope a remake becomes a reality. I don't care if it comes out in 2009 or 2010, there's FF13 and F13 Vesus that can burn time

[PS360WII]

"Quick refresher: Crisis Core follows Cloud Strife's famous pal Zack, an elite soldier in the Shinra Corporation who made a brief appearance in Final Fantasy VII. This game is all about his adventures fighting for Shinra in the build-up to FFVII. " http://psp.ign.com/articles...

So yeah Crisis Core is set before the original FF VII naturally it's going to continue on with the already out VII

(but I wouldn't mind a remake ^^)

[XxZxX]

Knight of the round in HD woohoo..

[risk]

behomoth, neo bohomoth, and behomoth zero!

[MikeJonesOK]

IF WE ALL BUY, YES BUY, THIS GAME THERE WILL BE, REPEAT WILL BE, A REMAKE OF FF7. Just say No KIDS to NEWSGROUPS AND TORRENTS!

[sajj316]

piracy = bad. Being an ex software developer, it kills all the hard work that developers put into it.

[sajj316]

It might just very well be a "to be continued" ... right to FFVII (PS One original). However I question the very point of adding that to the end of game? Was it placed strategically to get user feedback? The more the feedback the better as it just teases us to death. I don't think any other FF game has been requested this much to be remade.

I'm indifferent about it being remade. I still have the original copy almost in near mint condition (and NO I'm not going to sell it to anyone). It will be a task though bringing it into 3D (exclude battle scenes)

[ApocalypseShadow]

sony knows what an ff game will do for ps3 sales.

square knows what an ff game will do for ps3 sales.

it's the 10th anniversary of ff.and ff was shown in 2005 at sony's E3.and crisis core is on psp.

somebody's lying or a game is coming sooner rather than later.especially when square is now all about making remakes.and kaz harai showing up at square ff events posting notes.

they can say,"no ffvii game is being made."doesn't mean an advent children or children 2 game can't be made based on the movie.

we'll see soon enough.hurry up TGS.

.................mag lev super train.................

[Tyrael]

Never got to play FF7, would love for them to make a remake in full glorious HD, might even help convince me to get a PS3, who knows?

[Bnet343]

Fvck the majority. Remake the first one you nubs

[Darkiewonder]

They did pretty much every FF in the series up before 7. No more. It's time to move to VII-IX [if they continue remaking games]

It's only time before they completely remake Dragon Quest Series [Which they are doing now] haha. God. SE is the only Remake Company out there now.

[B Man]

Honestly I don't know how you could believe that was the best of the series, unless you have never played any other game or you are just on a nastalgic trip. FF7 > FF6 > FF9 > > > > > > >FF8 >FF1.

[jackdoe]

FFI, II, and III were pretty bad. Played em on the NES and they really didn't age well.

[commadore65]

5 and 6 were probably my faves. the jobs system in 5 was brilliant.

[synetic]

i still prefer the ff6 remake almost everyone that player ff6 thinks that is the best ff

but hey ff7 is also f*** amazing its just that ff6 is my number 1 rpg ff7 is number 2

[Baba1906]

i loved 7 the most. its the first game i played over 100 hours. i did like 6.

[tehcellownu]

perfect timing tgs is next week.

[rjc2fp3]

how many people would go out and buy a psp?
it is a lot cheaper then a ps3, although no way would it ever be the same

[Says you]

Time to put down the PS3 not like its putting it down anyway considering not even the most heaviest arsenals the console has is putting it down.

[BlackIceJoe]

If there is news of a remake at TGS I can say this will be big news and could be the one game that could really sky rocket sales for the PS3. So I hope to hear of news on this game soon.

[jackdoe]

Not really a confirmation of a remake, just stating the obvious that FFVII continues the story. However, at this point they need to deliver a remake, not only because it would make them a lot of money, but because they need to tweak the storyline in order to make FFVII gel with the rest of the Compilation of FFVII. They need to add new events, reference past events (the original Avalanche for example), new characters (the additional Turks members, Genesis, other Soldiers), and some character redesigns in order to address a lot of the plot threads brought up by all the FFVII side stories.

[romemac7]

your right jackdoe and i hope they make this remake final fantasy 7, it go gold in a week you know how many people are waiting on this. And also they would have to add to the story in the remake just like jackdoe said to even the story out and make it better in a way, not to say i didn't love the story

[ChaosKnight]

... Of course it continues into Final Fantasy VII, where else would it continue into? VIII? XD Square will probably answer the pleas of this observation by "People are looking too much into it". But it'd be nice to see a remake... even though I really do prefer my original copy =)

[B Man]

I think it's just telling you that if you want to know more, go out and buy FF7. Perhaps a re-release, or maybe even come out as a downloadable game? Also, those screens looked like they were from Advent Children.

I do hope they remake it, but I still have my doubts.

[Mr.Mister]

I Hope Its come out for the Wii instead lol Juste jokin but I will buy a PS3 for sure if it come out.but I think at the end it said to be continu in final fantasy wic they mean in the psone.What would be the best is that it be release in the psp

[xaphanze]

If it continues on FF 7, then why did they use the 2005 trailer? Cmon, Square Enix is teasing us and they know theyll sell millions of copies with this remake. Remakes dont cost alot of money and Square Enix would be dumb not making one. Maybe they are waiting to see how FF 13 sells. Well see, but im sure well see a remake sooner or later...

[DJ]

unless they change up the storyline a bit and alter the battle system significantly. PS3 graphics running on PS1 gameplay just isn't going to cut it, and I'm sure they know this. Millions of fans will love having a photo-copy remake, while millions more would most likely loathe it.

If they revamp the Materia system and try combat in the vein of Advent Children, I think the game would come off very well. Even an interesting dialogue system would do wonders and add a lot of replay value to a game purchased by what, 20 million people?. The director of FFXIII said his and the FF Versus XIII staff were asked to work on a secret project, and I'll be shocked if it isn't FF7 related. A remake would be great, but a continuation of the story after Advent Children would be awesome as well.

[BIadestarX]

mmm... Piracy.... mmm.. so this explains Playstation low game attach rates... It seems as lots of Sony fans like to wear a patch in one of their eyes. Pirates! j/k.

[PS360WII]

indeed look at PSP. Unit sells well but game sales are a joke. Why you ask? Oh cuz of homebrew and dling of games.

Don't automatically disagree with Bladestar people you still need to read his comments!

[cloud360]

i will kill sephiroth again and again..

Everyone will buy a ps3 if this is even announced. BECUASE they know which console will win the war....

This is the 10th best selling game ever and 2nd best selling ps1 game ever created people. The game that sold twice as much as Metal Gear Solid 1

[Noonetoyou]

Great news but i think ff8 would have been even better

[Bonsai1214]

sadly, they're probably just teasing us only to say, F-you later on.... they (squenix) are playing on this ffvii remake stuff too much imo

[Bonsai1214]

and i gotta sorta say that i want them to remake vi in full 3d/hd more than i want a remake of vii..
