Should have kept this announcement until last to maximize the trolling.

 

[oyoshimaru]

FUCK that dude on stage.

 

[Rajang]

Who thought this was a good idea?

Showing FFVII logo on the screen and then revealing it to be a port...

 

[AgentLampshade]

"Come. Play our game again. And again. And again. And again, with trophies, maybe."

 

[TheChaos0]

For a second I thought it was something special but we've got another "Please Be Excited"! What a troll!

 

[HeelPower]

The funny thing is they have FFXV...

They could have had a strong presence in this show.

SE completely fumbled this.

 

[Senpai]

I think that may have just killed off any chance of a Final Fantasy 7 remake.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Does it at least get a new translation?

 

[Dark_castle]

 

[Spineker]

So 2 things I got out of this conference uhhhh 1. Grim Fandango looks amazing and 2. Fuck Square Enix.

But....We already knew about both those things.

 

[GoodMorningPluto]

This so much :/ I just don't understand who in their mind could have approved this.

 

[Cyborg]

Fuck them...fucking idiots

 

[AuthenticM]

I will be honest: when the FFVII logo came on the screen, I thought he was announcing the remake and my heartbeat started to go fast and my breathing got weird.

I got trolled hard.

Anyways, if this is the PC version, maybe we'll get the achievements that Steam got.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I can't feel anymore.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

This was beyond trolling. I guess they really are clueless.

 

[vagabondarts]

I LAUGHED out loud at this part.

I couldn't believe it.

But hey, best part is you can play FFVIII on your PS4 now.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

What a fucking asshole.

 

[arevin01]

Not even a remaster.

 

[BlueWord]

I think that may have just killed off any chance of a Final Fantasy 7 remake.

As if there ever were one outside of the imaginations of the fanbase.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there ended up being another entry in the Compilation of FFVII.

 

[sakuori]

GAF Hype died after that troll anouncement lol

 

[Amikami]

I think that may have just killed off any chance of a Final Fantasy 7 remake.

Basically. nail in the coffin really.

 

[mhs004]

I feel sick.

I'm never going to buy a Square Enix game again.

I kind of think this is over doing it......

"Hey dude have you played ,insert title here, yet it's amazing?"

"NO! They ruined a game from the 90s for me cuz they didn't make it look pretty so I ain't buying shit!"

 

[Keyouta]

Why doesn't Square make a remake, anyway? It's easy money, caters to older players for nostalgia and allows younger players to try it for the first time with modern graphics.

 

[Meia]

Hey Im happy with this news *shrugs*

We were never getting a remake guys.

Getting it or, how on earth if you're Sony do you let Square take the stage to not talk about FFXV or KH3, but a PC port of FFVII coming to PS4, especially with that kind of hyped setup?


That whole thing was a fiasco.

 

[hitsugi]

And who exactly is gonna make it? They have their hands full with FFXV and KHIII.

Who was making the billion FF13 spin offs while FFXV was being made? Do you work at Square? Because I'm pretty sure that's a Square question and a stupid one to aim at me.

 

[mave198]

LOL fuckin Square turds.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Look guys, if we all buy the port to show that we still want FFVII, they'll do a remake for sure!

 

[fvng]

I just want a PS4 remake to happen so people will finally shut up about it

 

[Dr Amazon MD]

Fuck right off Square.

Seriously who at Sony approved that?

 

[Calcium]

Watching the reaction to this in SonyGAF! chat was really amazing. The hype went through the roof and plummeted mere seconds later.

 

[Maxim726X]

So they announced an inferior port of a game that is already available on PSN.

Sweet. Color me excited.

 

[The Shogun]

This has to be maybe the biggest troll move in the history of gaming.

 

[Bananajama]

I'll buy it again if it has a platinum

That's how easy I'll make it for them to take my money

 

[Karsticles]

REDRUM.
REDRUM


REDRUM!

 

[Keyouta]

Edit: Double post.

 

[016]

This is the second time square cam to a sony event and just crap on our expectations..
just why?

 

[Zee-Row]

I'm not an expert on Japanese culture but is this their idea of trolling?

 

[TheGreatDirector]

 

[Talax]

That was beyond anything even Kojima has pulled.

Masterful trolling Shinji......................

 

[Impeccable]

Trophies and slightly updated models? Sure, fuck it - I'm in.

 

[redhood56]

They knew what they were doing too. They must have been laughing their asses off.

 

[N30RYU]

How can they just crush all FFVII fan's feelings like that... in the PS 20th anniversary... killing all the chances of a future remake or even a remaster... with a lame PC port...

This is beyond my comprehension how sony let that happen today... as if it was an awesome idea...

 

[TheTux]

Sorry guys but I'm enjoying this godly trolling a lot.

I'm sorry.

 

[creyas]

What a letdown. But if it's a perfect version, i'm in.

 

[AstuteClass]

I think this was SE finally telling us that the FFVII remake is finally being put to bed, while giving us something to ease our wounds.

 

[sakuori]

Welp double post. :T

 

[Jirotrom]

I was going to buy a ps4... I'll just stick to pc now father that troll

 

[Syphon Filter]

why cry over a remake, i prefer the original always.

 

[Foffy]

The legit thought a basic port was worth a standalone announcement?

No wonder this company is in fucking shambles.

 

[TheDangerMan]

Why would they do this... we weren't actually expecting it until they showed the damned logo on stage... Why would Sony approve this?? It was a really good conference up to that point, but now I'm just left with a bitter taste in my mouth...

I need to start drinking.
