In a recent interview, square-enix announces "Lord of Vermilion" for the PS3. Note: according to the site, scans of the new issue of Famitsu or Dengeki(which ever one contains the interview)will come out in a couple of days.
Another great game to look forward to from square enix? I hope it comes out In 08. But it clearly seem like sony has square full support. This is great because square is One of the most talented developers out there, and between them and level 5 there is not other developers that make better rpgs then these two.
Holy crap, Mesh, that's like one of those comments that people jokingly post, you know the ones that are too "1337" or just plain retarded to be true...
makes me think back to the good old days gaming.. right when i read that it instintly made me think of a game with a similar name...SWORD OF VERMILION for the sega genesis.... Does any body remember that or am i to old? ....
Thank you... I was thinking for an hour about the name of game with Vermilion in it. I remember it, you are still young :) The game was fun but I don't think it will be related to that Vermilion.
This CRAZY number of games makes me wonder just how massive is SE development team and if they have the time to develop SO many games and for when more importantly
While its good they come up with more games I SERIOUSLY think they should at least finish some before announcing even more >.>
Well if they announce more it makes you want to buy more games. It also gives hype to the players and the fans.
SE has, of September 2003, Square Enix' production staff were divided in eight different Square teams: (found on wikipedia)
Oh yeah they can make games with eight developement teams. And hey, FF is an amzing series and it sells VERY well. They will make more and more games because 1. the games are always amazing. 2 it sells
you can't really be sick of ff games.. considering they're all fundamentally different from one another. besides, squeenix is a very talented developer, and anything coming from them should be anticipated. (except that barbie game)
I love square enix final fantsy games, FF is like reading a good fantasy book. All there games are masterpiece with seven being the best followed by 10. But both 8 and 9 are good to. but 7 is ma favorite.
No kidding. They know we waiting for that FF7 remake...We should be patient though because they will remake it eventually its part of there buissiness model to remake there FF games.
Dude wheres my US crisis core copy... I mean bundle ...*shakes fist*
Not only are square reaffirming exclusivity of their most beloved franchise, they are showering them with more love. Kinda like when Xbot were hanging for MGS4 and Konami said, "um, no, and by the way here's MGS Online for PS3 as well.
PS3 Owners are going to get sore cheeks from smiling so much in 2008.
Seriosuly in the last couple months PS3 has made a HUGE 180... they are doing EVERYTHING right now. 9 years left guys.... PS2 only been on 7....the PS3's about to be put in every Blockbuster.... I'm seeing PS3 sales end up VERY VERY GOOD by the end of its life cycle... what do ya think?
Nomura: Our programmers were asking, "is it okay if we program it as a PS3 exclusive? If you're thinking of porting it to other consoles, we might have to change the specs to follow suit the others." And I answered, "PS3 exclusive, of course."
What more do you need to understand that FF13 AND LOV will be PS3 Exclusives AND ONLY BE ABLE TO RUN ON THE PS3... I think we are in for a SERIOUS treat, guys.
I'm still betting my money on an FF7 remake for the PS3 sometime in the future. If i was Square and I was working on a remake I would keep my mouth shut for 90-95% of the development time. If they let the cat out of the bag too early everyone would be clamoring for preview pics and movies which could kill the experience. I just hope when they do decide to do it they bring back the original team of FF7 or at least it's Director and not keep the X-2 Director who's working on XIII and you can clearly see X-2 influence in it.
BELIEVE ME. When FFXIII and Versus come out to retails and S-E learn how to manage the White Engine on the PS3.I will give just ONE year afetr those event and FFVII will out on the market.
On a side note they should remake all Final Fantasy's and release them on the PS3. Sell them for like 150 dollars bundled i would pick up 2 copies myself.
Also to Zhuk how do you still have bubbles people should have removed them a long time ago!!!!!............
not being announced until 2008 since it's such jaw-dropping information. From what I've heard it's not a remake, but it is a legitimate RPG. Supposed to occur somewhere between the events between FF7 and Advent Children, which is two years. I want a remake just as much as anyone else, but that's sort of treading on holy ground for a lot of people.
I would like either a remake or a sequel, but that time period you suggested wouldn't resolve the genesis secret ending after dirge of cerberus. I wouldn't want several new ff7 titles, just one, solid ps3 title.
Yea that is treading on holy ground, I mean I'd love a re-make but it's an extremely risky thing to do. They have to make sure it's a REMAKE and not a re-imagining. Everything has to be just as is and if they wanted to add some extra stuff that it has to not interfere with the original style. Which means nothing with a "-sin" tag on it (ie: Bahamut-Sin from AC. That's why it's critical to have the original team or original director to head the development. Otherwise it'd be like handing the paintbrush over to some guy and telling him to re-paint the Mona Lisa. It could either become one of the greatest re-makes in all history or become the biggest embarrassment of all time. Sometimes I think it's best that they never re-touch FF7. I feel fine with my block-hand characters and a sequel would be a much safer path but again they have to remain within the FF7 Universe and not taint it with it's new art direction they have at the moment the heavy FFX-SIN art.
As someone who went, using the JP titles, FF4 to FF6 to FF8-10 then 7 then 12. I have to say, 7 is not better then 6, 12, 10(even though if you think hard about it, 10 stole a good 70% of the main plot points from 6), and 9(ordered). I think most of the love for FF7 comes from the fact that for the time it was completely revolutionary, and it tended to be peoples first foray into the series.
IMO it had one of the weaker plots(weakest and least effective villain for sure in a FF, don't kill me sephiroth fans), and the materia system was one of my least favorite ways to get stronger.
Do not get me wrong, it was a quality title, and deserves praise, I just think that it gets more then it deserves seeing some of the other titles in the series.
PS: the chrono team needs to get off of FFXI(11) and make another god damn chrono game.
that there is a 3rd ps3 exclusive... if it uses the PS eye it will be awesome. i cant wait. Konami and Square are resally only the 2 3rd party devs Sony needs. MGS and FF will show them to the promised land of success. 2008 will be a year to remeber in deed.
i dont know what the %&^* sony did for square but damn...
i like the concept art.
a cynical voice is telling me it'll eventually go multiplat, but then who knows whats going on behind the scenes. I have a feeling sony could be financing (FFXIII's and vermillion) behind closed doors. It make perfect sense.
if this does remain exclusive to ps3, i'm seeing a 09 mid to late release
lol sony's 09 will be as good as their 08:
New squeenix game (Vermillion) FFXIII versus (i'm expecting they'll take another 6 months) Jak and daxter god of war 3 resistance rise of man LA Noire
i'm glad this news came from maiki, she lives in japan, buys these mags, went to TGS gave us a preview of the new tgs XIII trailers; and drew characters she saw from the versus trailer.
you just have to say something negative about anything dealing with the ps3 don't you. if you bothered to look, that one's made by sega, this one by square. i know they both start with "s"'s, but even you shouldn't be confused by that
Man, I don't know about you but I'm lookin' forward to actual ROLE PLAYING GAMES alot more than some lame little adventure title! =D
I can't WAIT to play LOST ODYSSEY 2, INFINITE UNDISCOVERY, ABSOLUTE BLAZING INFINITY 2, and FABLE 2 + FAR EAST: TALES OF ZIRIA.
All exclusively on my XBOX 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D
Looks like you miss out on all the greatness again, SQUARE......Your games are nothing but ADVENTURE titles all of a sudden!!
LOL I remember something a wand of vermillion game, that SUCKED, the PHILLIPS CDI was trash & I hope this game bombs bigtime.
OH AND HAVE FUN, BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER BE PLAYING ANY OF THOSE GAMES LISTED ABOVE SONYBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same for Gears of War 2 also, HAVE FUN WITH YOUR ACTION-SLASHER! =>D 0/10
FACE IT SONY FANGIRLS: SQUARE HASN'T AN ORIGINAL BONE IN THEIR WHOLE BODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the GRAND THEFT AUTO series will ALWAYS be better than FINAL FANTASY, 100 PERCENT, IN NORTH AMERICA & IN THE WORLD.
LOL THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ORIGINAL IN WHAT IS IT NOW, 20 YEARS?
Looks like that's why they're still stuck with SONY! >:)
When all the XBOX360 RPGS are released and LOST ODYSSEY is a house-hold NAME, then we'll have this conversation again.....there's a reason alot more people are now looking forward to the 360's RPGs.
SEQUELS ARE A THING OF THE PAST. NEW IP RPG GAMES ARE WHAT PEOPLE WANT.......

I just wish they would also announce a ff7 remake. Man I would buy the ultimate edition of that game. Please Square please announce
