Heads up to FF7AC - Reunion.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Looks better now that the contrast is very low.

 

[Insertia]

This is one of those games that would be suited perfectly for PSP.

 

[belgurdo]

Reeve?

 

[teiresias]

I'm seeing nothing but a bunch of red 'x's.

 

[SantaC]

doesn't look that impressive, but i will probably get this game anyway.

 

[BanjoMaster]

I'm just about sick of this. I want them to start EJPTR-ing out FF VI.

Is that wrong of me?

Yes.

 

[SantaC]

I'm just about sick of this. I want them to start whoring out FF VI.

Is that wrong of me?

Yes.

no, but i wanted more ff8 and ff9 action

 

[Tamanon]

If it's as high a quality as X-2 was, then I'll definitely buy it. I was shocked at how fun X-2 ended up being. I went in expecting typical rip-off fluff but it ended up being more enjoyable than its predecessor haha.

 

[Bizarro Sun Yat-sen]

Let's all not lose track of what's important about this game: the fact that Masashi Hamauzu is working on the soundtrack.

who is he

 

[NLB2]

That took me about ten seconds to dl on 56k....

 

[Trevelyon]

I'm pretty sure he was one of the main composers of the Final Fantasy X OST, alongside Uematsu & co. Not too sure of what else he has done.

 

[SolidSnakex]

who is he

He's done Unlimited Saga, Saga Frontier 2 and some tracks on FFX, Gun Hazard, Tobal ect.

 

[evil ways]

I wonder if they will keep Vincent's different monster alter egos.

 

[Rei_Toei]

I certainly hope so. And I hope that the claw isn't gonna stay unused. I can't imagine they're going to ignore those aspects of Vincent.

 

[COCKLES]

Dirge being the operative word.

Time for Square to shut up shop. They've become increasingly more and more irrelevant as time goes by.... I was never a FF fan, but Secret of Mana and Parasite Eve games are some of my all time faves, just a shame they appear to have forgotten that they used to make games that didn't have Final & Fantasy in the title.

Yeah, Square is completely irrelevant these days. Where's the roll-eyes icon, anyway?

Who cares what the title of the game is if it's good.

Are you sure about that?

 

[COCKLES]

Are you sure about that?

They were fucking eons ago!!!!

Unilimited SaGa has one of the greatest soundtracks ever. SaGa Frontier two was very memorable also, all 3or 4 tracks of it.

 

[ManaByte]

[Kon Tiki]

Square only made one of those.

 

[Drek]

Square only made one of those.

Um, Drakenguard was actually a mutual project. Enix started the game but staff from both sides ended up doing most of it.

Regardless, Square has made a decent number of other games, they've just been taking it slow due to the merger and whatnot. This will go down as a bad generation for them I'm sure, but the next year or two will be much better than the first 4 have been.

Even last generation Square only really left the FF first model after several multi-million selling iterations of it. They haven't gotten on that kind of roll this generation, largely thanks to FF11's being online. Hopefully next generation they'll change that.

 

[snaildog]

no 56k

Why does everyone always say that? Are theirr computers supposed to explode? I never had any problems on 56k; it sounds almost patronising.

 

[jiggle]

These screens look so much better than the initial batch. Not that I wasn't planning on buying this, but now I'm much more excited about it.

?? It was made by an outside developer (Cavia) and supervised by Enix before the merger and by Square Enix PDD10 (i.e. the former Enix) after the merger. There were some former Square staff involved with development, which may be what's confusing you.

You've also got it backwards: there was no "FF first model" until 1999 or so when sales of other games began declining. Before then they could still sell a million copies of a Parasite Eve or Xenogears, and in the SNES days before FF achieved great popularity worldwide its sales were only a couple times those of SaGa and Seiken Densetsu, their two other major franchises. Consequently FF wasn't given so much priority.

Hahahaha, Jim = most offensive game character ever.

 

[Jonnyram]

Did Cavia actually make anything before Drakengard? It seems the studio was established way back before the PS2 even launched, but I don't remember anything else they made.

 

[cvxfreak]

Nice looking logo, there.

Yes it's all in the name of patronising. I added it simply because it's 10 images and constantly browse other stuff while lurking in GAF and it loads all images in about 1-2 mins.
