[Arkeband]

I want Final Warriors too. With playable Cyan, Shadow, Terra, Celes, Kain, Rydia, Sephiroth, Golbez, Kefka, Edgar, Sabin, hell even Cait Sith.

But if we ever get that... it'll be Lightning, Lightning and Lightning.

...err, have you heard of Dissidia?

That's not a musou, and it sucked ass.

Is there a recap why we are excited?

 

[R-User!]

This can only lead to sadness. Either they don't announce it and people are sad, or they DO announce it and it comes out and it isn't sufficiently awesome enough for the amount of time people have been waiting for it. It could be Duke-Nukem-Forever levels of bad, or it could actually be a decent port. But it won't matter.

Or, the remake only highlights what an antiquated experience the whole thing is.

As Kojima recently retweeted (something to the affect of this): You only fail when you give up.

In other words, SquareEnix has to try or they've already failed...

 

[mugurumakensei]

watch it turn out to be a pc port with one of those model swap mods for ultimate trolling.

4-5 sources have chimed in and claimed its happening. Seemingly different sources.

Including Wario 64, the sourciest of sources.

[tensuke]

we need Game of Thrones style game banners for TLG,Shenmue 3,and FF7R
someone get to work

okay

 

[theofficefan99]

If a FFVII remake is actually shown this year, wouldn't it be shown tomorrow at SE's conference, and not today?

 

[Fantomas]

okay

It's beautiful.

 

[Amir0x]

oh man the Sony conference is going to be disastrous at this rate. The rumour mongers have spiraled out of control, too many crazy rumours to ever be true and yet the fans holding onto these tidbits like lifeboats in the middle of tumultuous seas... oh it's over.

I can't wait to see the blood, sweat and tears now lol

(TLG is true though)

 

[hidys]

Pretty sure if it is a PS4 exclusive Sony will want to show it at theirs.

It is a pretty big deal after all.

 

[arnoldocastillo2003]

okay

Goddamn sir you win E3!!!!! Lol!

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Hot damn these are nice... time to change my avatar yet again to the FF7 one!

IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

NO...IT'S NOT HAPPENING, BUT FUCK, I HOPE I'M WRONG.

You guys are the worst. u_u

 

[HORRORSHØW]

I'd argue that GAF will be happy with just TLG.

 

[IAmRandom31]

okay

Oh man. Incredible

 

[HerroRygar]

Is there a recap why we are excited?

• SiliconEra article, not usually known for bullshit.
• User Mossuhoggu claims this is correct, 2017 release.
• Y2Kev verifies that Mussuhoggu is someone with access to inside knowledge.
• Wario64 (longtime gaffer) tweets that a source of their own seems to confirm this as well.

I think the supposed picture emerging is that this is a PS4 exclusive, not developed by Squeenix; very likely funded/resourced by Sony. This would jive with Squeenix's recent statement that their IP are valuable and they are willing to license them to partners.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

2017 would be its release date. 1.5 years for a title of this caliber is certainly not early.

How do you know it's 2017

I am incredulous, that doesn't sound realistic

 

[dmr87]

Is there a recap why we are excited?

It's happening

Can't give my word on the crazy Shenmue rumours but the FF VII remake is a real thing. They started production a few months ago and it will be announced this week for a 2017 release.

The Last Guardian is coming back too, Sony PR guys are giving appointments to the press and they plan to release it during the holiday season since Uncharted 4 is delayed until 2016.

Poster has been verified.

It's happening #2, external dev

[FF Seraphim]

Do have a drinking game in place for Sony's E3 yet other than "Drink Everything if FF7:R isn't announced?"

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

IT'S HAPPENING.

IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

NO...IT'S NOT HAPPENING, BUT FUCK, I HOPE I'M WRONG.

Yeah man, I want to stay out of the thread, but it just keeps pulling me back in.

I'm actually going to be off work for the Sony conference too. This is going to be bad...

Spoiler

and hilarious

 

[Zeyphersan]

Has Kagari posted yet?

 

[Amir0x]

If it is a remake, I'm betting that whole Honey Bee Inn shit is gonna be dropped from the game

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Seemed to work with Zelda. And they're aiming for it with Dragon Quest. Maybe overkill?

Final Fantasy warriors? i'd play the living hell out of such a game.

 

[Darksol]

okay

Gorgeous. Bravo!

 

[LowParry]

Did we get this level of "sources" last year?

 

[Ishida]

Has Kagari posted yet?

Yes. She said we were all crazy.

 

[saher]

Going to bed now, i hope i wake up to some amazing news...shenmue or ff7 remake.

 

[dmr87]

okay

Going into phase 2.

Nice work.

 

[Look! The Pie!]

I remain on the fence as to whether this actually happens.

I've wanted a FFVII remake for the longest time. But with SE in its current state, I'm no longer sure this is a good idea. They have absolutely zero hope of pleasing the large, hyper-critical subset of fans who won't settle for anything less than a 100-percent faithful remake of a 1997 game...ONLY IN HD!

I'm just picturing it now. (WARNING: pessimistic whining below)

Worst case scenario? The unique "feel" and humour of the original will be scrapped in favour of FFXIII-style po-faced melodrama (seriously, can you imagine present-day Square Enix including goofy shit like the cross-dressing, the Honeybee Inn, and Cloud going snowboarding?). Most of the retcons and tryhard new characters from the Compilation will probably be shoehorned into the plot. The turn-based combat will be replaced by Advent Children-esque gravity-defying, flippy-dippy bullshit. No World Map (we'll be lucky if we even get half the towns from the original game). DLC cashgrabs, possibly including Gold Chocobos, rare Materia and Lightning costumes for Tifa, Yuffie and Aerith. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow found a way for Lightning herself to make an appearance, since she's officially the "female Cloud" and all. VOICE ACTING, the lack of which made most of the cutscenes in FFVII actually bearable.

Nope. As flawed and dated as it is, I'll stick with the original, thanks.

 

[hidys]

Did we get this level of "sources" last year?

TBH I can't ever remember this number of sources confirming this.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

okay

The trinity.

sorry AGENT

OMW to Sony now.

 

[FF Seraphim]

God Speed...

Hopefully audience are not as crazy as we are about these rumors.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

OMW to Sony now.

Be honest, you're carrying the Black Materia, aren't you?!
