guys... look at my avatar, im old, ive been around... look at my post count. i NEVER post.... why did square do this to us all ? why square why ??

this was the first time i have watched a game announcement and i had chills while it was happening probably since .. i dont know... staying up till late to catch cnn world news show about 15 secs of footage of the n64 releasing in japan..

and then utter dissapointment when i released it wasnt the actual remake I had imaged. and just a port of the pc.... wow....
 
You can see the reaction in the crowds. They were pissed!

They could have just slipped a press release out to gaming news sites. Or Tweeted it.

Not this. This was true cruelty.
That's what I was thinking. As someone who strongly believes we need to make classics as widely available as possible, I like the idea of this release. Especially if they bump the resolution and add trophies. And because PS1 classics (stupidly) can't be played on PS4.

But a press release would have been sufficient. I guess the reasoning is that it was the 20th anniversary celebration. But man. What a burn....
 
It almost feels like they are trolling- and will announce the remake soon. I realize that's probably not going to happen, but this is just stupid as is.
 
I couldn't even believe they'd do that. I held out hope throughout the whole damn thing till the end of the trailer. Final Fantasy VII isn't even my favorite out of the series and I was so damn hyped. This honestly could've been something announced off to the side or at least without so much fanfare. Incredibly cruel.

Wish the announcement was actually Final Fantasy XII getting the same treatment as X and X-2.
 
The Youtube has over 4400 dislikes to 1100 likes. Boy did someone screw up lol

Can't say I blame them. Doesn't this already exist with PSX Classics???
 
Glad I got the cliff notes after the presentation. I don't believe in a remake and even I would've probably fallin' for this if I was watching live.
 
Given that the PS1 classics haven't made their way to the PS4, having a remastered version of the PC version is not a bad idea, I'll probably get it myself.

But given the history and the fan outcry for a full fledged remake......it was a universe tier troll.

This. It was all about how horribly S-E handled announcing it.

Not surprised, holy shit S-E you are on a roll pissing off people with this and TR.

PSX Classics aren't playable on PS4, atleast not yet. Getting it on so fast and for the 20th isn't really a bad idea in and of itself, but that Hashimoto presentation whew.

My goodness. Yes you would have! That's the worst thing about what Hashimoto did.

"IT'S BEEN 17 LONG YEARS!"

What!? Who says this!? Uuuugghhhh...
 
I was watching the trailer with my friend and was like "man, when is the trailer going to switch to the new version of the game", and it went on and on and after some dozen seconds I realized what Square Enix did.

I don't think people are being irrational. That was stupid stage presence. At least announce a new game if you go up there. Also, this has bugged me for a long time. Why do they keep sending Shinji Hashimoto to speak horribly butchered English, instead of hiring a representative who speaks English well. They could have used someone from Square's US branch. Or Hashimoto could have brought a translator with him on stage.
 
Incredible. Between Please Be Excited and this, Square has ascended to a level of trolling that was until now only theoretical.
 
I still can't bring myself to dislike Shinji Hashimoto. The guy just exudes happiness.

"Join me, wonderful Final Fantasy fans, in this festive occasion, in celebration of a port of a port of Final Fantasy VII! I swear I'm not faking my excitement!"
 
Hahahahaha holy shit I can't believe they did this! This HAS to be on purpose right? What was the point, did SE actually expect people to be hyped for a PC port?

Also, isn't the original version superior to the PC port? I remember my friend had it back in the day, the music was a lot worse IMO.

The PC port was alright. Not sure about the music comparison. The video software was shitty though, and doesn't work on newer versions of Windows.

It doesn't really have anything over the PSX original except for high resolution blocky characters.

Worst part is it strongly implies we're never getting PS1 or PS2 bc on the PS4, not even with PSN Classics.
Not really - PSP got plenty of PS1 "ports" before emulation was available - several of which also had their original PS1 versions released later when emulator was out (so there is even precedent for "duplicating" the same games on PSN).

No it doesn't. That's a huge stretch. IMO there's no way we don't get it --- it's a cash cow for Sony. We didn't get it at launch because it wasn't (rightfully) a priority, and once the PS4 settles in for the long haul I'm sure we'll get it.

I don't see how, this will likely have achievements similar to the ones on steam and other small changes. If anything, they are likely doing this before that feature would be added to double-cash-in.
