In the summer of 2002, Square announced that they were indeed going to remake all thr 32 bit incarnations of Final Fantasy (That's FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX) for the PS2. The graphics were to be enhanced and some spelling erros would be fixed (No "this Guy are sick" anymore!). But then something disasterous happened.... The Spirits Within bombed. As they'd ploughed a LOT of money in it, the film barely made any profit whatsoever, and with all the marketing, Square were a few million in the hole. A lot of projects were culled at this time, including the remakes, however the "official" reason is that Square went on record to say that whilst the 32 bit incarnations are playable using today's technology (i.e, thanks to the PS2's backwards compatibility) there's no reason to remake them. This suggests we may see a PS3 incarnation of FFVII/VIII/IX. So now you all know. My source BTW was various Computer game mags, www.rpgamer.com, and games news sites. |

Yup, it's true. And it also explains why Chrono Break is so....unknown. | |||

Chrono Break.... that's a case of "Lovely OST mate, but shame about your complete disregard for European fans". |

I would like to see a remake of FFVII at least. I think if it were to be remade then they would end up selling more games then FFVII sold in the first place.. but we know we arent going to see it for a good few years yet. | |||

I just want to see FF6 done over (again) for the Ps2 or Ps3. That would be amazing!! And on a side note: Chrono Break was suppose to be the newest game in the Chrono Trigger/Cross series. I'll make a thread about it in Gen Gaming, so we can stay on topic here. |

Originally posted by Legion Has it been released yet? I'm not really up to date on games that don't get any press and wont be released in Europe until Satan builds a ski resort in his bedroom. |

FF Tactics would look amazing with the current graphics on PS2 or later on a PS3*. FFVI would be amazing as a remake, but would be that great because I already know the story, and what to do and such. I would much rather see newer games, instead of the old ones remade with shinnies. | |||

Originally posted by AdamantOriginally posted by Legion Uh, we don't even know if another Chrono game is in the works. They say there is, but yeah ... it's very unknown about. And Anya before Squaresoft made the switch from Nintendo to Sony they were making a 3D FF game with the FF6 characters for the N64, I could look up pictures if nobody believes me... But yeah, I was disappointed to hear these rumors were rumors gone way too far. (edited by Xeogred on 03-19-04 02:43 PM) |

I saw the FF6-64 pics in one of the old-old-OLD Epic Center frontpages in Nintendo Power... the characters looked a hell of a lot better than 7's, that's for sure. | |||

Somone made a thread at the old board a while back about that sequel. I found a really good page about it that had pictures and everything but I can't find it anymore. It didn't look that bad actually. It MIGHT have kicked ass. Maybe one of these days....? |

Originally posted by Anya There wouldn't be much to add though, aside from better FMVs, which doesn't really need a whole new game for it. On the other hand, FF7 is the game that launched Square onto the PSX throne, and deserves a remake for new FMVs and style of gaming. |

hmm...yeah, i think the remakes are better suited for the PS3...I wonder how the remakes will look on the PS3...it seems the only improvement, outside of a few bugs, is a graphics facelift... i hope the facelift will be worth its price |

Legfion - The point I was trying to make was that Chono Trigger/Cross/Whatever has nevere come out in Europe, that;s because Squeenix hate us and think they all smell. Ah yes FF64? There are many other examples of FF vapurware covered in the FF Wiki I work on, I should know, I wrote those pages |

Yeah but you don't know if it's going to be the same for Chrono Break or not yet. | |||

I believe the original suggestion meant to remake FFVI in 3D. ---Evil Peer |
