Ok, we have FF7 Advent Children (movie) and FF7 Before Crisis (Mobile).

Now Vjump says that the black character below (bottom right) will appear in another FF7 project.

Babelfish Quite:
An intense title appears in the "Final Fantasy 7" plan further. (open)

It is the appearance in which the preliminary announcement that the title of FF7 newly
appeared had appeared from "BIFO crisis Final Fantasy 7" of the V jump newest number,
and the report of "Final Fantasy 7 Advent children."

It is the further intense title participation to a FFVII plan!! "FFVII plan" in which AC-BC
cannot look aside!
It is decided that an appearance of what and that man will be the special enlarged title of the schedule announced further soon!!

Any clues? Is this guy Vincent? Looks like it... I hope this is no mobile crap, maybe
a FF7 side story?

AC = Advent Children
BC = Before Crisis
and now maybe
CC = ???

 

[Shiggy]

Maybe for GameCube?

 

[Defensor]

Maybe for PSP?

 

[Littleberu]

Maybe for cellphones?

 

[jarrod]

Maybe that rumored DMC-ish action game starring Cloud?

 

[belgurdo]

Man, I'd wish they'd make VII-2 already so that I wouldn't have to hear about Final Fantasy "going down in quality" since that title anymore

 

[Mermandala]

It must be the back story of Vincent. What kind of game I wonder?

 

[Belfast]

Seriously Square, just make VII-2 or remake VII. Everybody wants it. You know they want it. Advent Children is neat, but quit dicking around!

 

[jett]

That's Vincent, all right. I guess he'd be a better character for a DMC-like FF game.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Man, I'd wish they'd make VII-2 already so that I wouldn't have to hear about Final Fantasy "going down in quality" since that title anymore

That comment really isn't coming from FF7 fanboys though.

A Vincent based FF would rock. He along with Sephiroth were my favorite FF7 characters, and pretty much the only ones I liked.

 

[Shiggy]

This makes sense:

A-C: Advent Childeren
B-C: Before Crisis
C-C: Chrystal Chronicles

Accroding to Cube-Europe SE plans a FFCC sucessor

 

[tedtropy]

All this FF7 hype that Square is generating has got to be leading up to something big, a la a remake or an FF7-2. They're not stupid - they realize such a game would move some substancial numbers, they just want to make sure they can get a maximum amount of interest going first. Here's hoping, anyways.

 

[jarrod]

Accroding to Cube-Europe SE plans a FFCC sucessor

For Nintendo DS.

 

[Belfast]

This makes sense:

A-C: Advent Childeren
B-C: Before Crisis
C-C: Chrystal Chronicles

Accroding to Cube-Europe SE plans a FFCC sucessor

That doesn't make ANY sense. What the heck does Crystal Chronicles have to do with FF7 at all?

 

[Shiggy]

For Nintendo DS.

No, in the Q&A section they said, that they reveal it this summer (for GameCube, I thought)

 

[SolidSnakex]

This makes sense:

A-C: Advent Childeren
B-C: Before Crisis
C-C: Chrystal Chronicles

It doesn't make any sense. If they were to put it on the GC they will oneup Sega as the company that makes the worst business decisions in the industry.

 

[jarrod]

Square Enix actually announced a FFCC game for DS at E3. It's not some rumor.

I know, but the GDS also works on a new game for the GameCube. I believe FFCC2

 

[jarrod]

Why would a FFCC successor on GC be a bad idea again?

 

[jarrod]

I hope not, unless they drop the connectivity aspect. I'd rather get a full blown SaGa RPG from Kawazu though instead...

 

[SolidSnakex]

Why would a FFCC successor on GC be a bad[/] idea again?

I thought he was suggesting that the FFCC successor would be the sequel to FF7 (which he mentioned in his first post). That's what I was talking about. Square's not that dumb.

 

[Baron Aloha]

It doesn't make any sense. If they were to put it on the GC they will oneup Sega as the company that makes the worst business decisions in the industry.

Why? The Gamecube has a bigger fanbase than the PSX had when they made FFVII for it. A FFVII remake would sell well on it. Besides, FFXII is coming out next year for the PS2. The PS2 will have gotten 4 Final Fantasies (plus a couple of expansions for FFXI) before the gen is over. SquareEnix might just want to spread the love.

Also, if they decided to use FFVII characters in the FFCC successor it would not be the end of the world IMO.

 

[robertsan21]

yeah i would like a remake of VII, but why dont they make a remake of the bets FF game ever, Final fantasy VI!

man wouldnt that be sweet!

 

[jarrod]

A FFVII remake would make sense on GameCube or PSP, FFVII-2 would make sense on PS2.

 

[Belfast]

So? The market isn't what it was in 93/94. Sure, Square had some success on the NES/SNES, but they had even MORE success with Sony. I don't see any reason for them to port new games in their most lucrative franchises to a Nintendo system. FFTA was kind of a surprise, admittedly, but its still just a spin-off, a la Crystal Chronicles.

 

[SolidSnakex]

A FFVII remake would make sense on GameCube or PSP, FFVII-2 would make sense on PS2.

FF7-2 makes sense on the PS2. Period. Anything else is stretching it when it comes to the sales potential of the series. Enix has the best philosophy on this stuff, you put your biggest series on the biggest userbase. No questions asked. This is so you get maximum sales out of it.

 

[clipunderground]

For GC!!! WOOT!

 

[DSN2K]

Cloud Control

 

[Baron Aloha]

Cloud Control

FF: Cloud Chronicles - GC Exclusive !1!1!

I agree with FFVII-2, anything else would be a huge mistake. Enix's platform philosophies are also likely the reason for Square Enix's overly cautious PSP "support".

IAWTP

 

[human5892]

You can already play FFVII on a PS2. I think a remake for GC would make a lot more sense based on that alone.

Then again, I'm sure it would sell a lot more on the PS2, anyway.

 

[Belfast]

Then what would be the point in a remake? If people were content playing it on a PS2, what the hell is the point? If you don't have one, just go buy a used copy and an old PS1 for about 50 bucks total and there ya go. Besides, if you haven't played it by this point, I doubt putting it on the GC is going to give it "more exposure."

If they did a remake it'd likely be for the PSP since they're making a FF7 Advent Children version for it. They said a remake wouldn't make sense on the PS2 since you can play FF7 on it, so the PSP opens up that possibility of putting it on a system that can't play FF7.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Sony trolls are shaking in their boots.

 

[RiZ III]

Isnt this the stupid cell phone game? The-Magicbox.com talked about it last week I think. According to some people here, that was old news.

Because it would be easier to play it on your GC than to go out and buy another piece of hardware. Also, it would look better.

It's pretty much like what SolidSnakeX inferred that Square-Enix themselves said when he quoted me:

If they did a remake it'd likely be for the PSP since they're making a FF7 Advent Children version for it. They said a remake wouldn't make sense on the PS2 since you can play FF7 on it, so the PSP opens up that possibility of putting it on a system that can't play FF7.

So you can see how even to Square-Enix, a FFVII remake would make more sense on some other system (PSP, GC) than it would on the PS2.

I don't even think such a remake is coming to any system at all, though, so the point is pretty moot. I'm just saying that if it did, by Square-Enix's own admission, the PS2 would be a less likely candidate to receive it.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Yah I don't think a remake will come anytime soon. But if it did, I actually think there's a good chance that it'd outsell the newer FF's.

 

[Shiggy]

I also heard that they plan a GCN Final Fantasy with the new peripherie which will be shown this year.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

The peripheral they said they would be showing at E3?

 

[Shiggy]

Yes, Cube-Europe said this.

The peripheral will be shown this year!

 

[neo2046]

Maybe that rumored DMC-ish action game starring Cloud?

starring Vincent
I heard this rumor before FF7: AC officially announced
(likely that rumor FF7 action game is started from Quiter)

 

[neptunes]

That's Vincent, all right. I guess he'd be a better character for a DMC-like FF game.

That would be sweet!

I also heard that they plan a GCN Final Fantasy with the new peripherie which will be shown this year.

that's just jumping to conclusions.

 

[Doth Togo]

VII-2 will come out on the 10th anniversary of FFVII. Not sure if it'll be a new game or remake.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

GameCube Peripheral at E3

New device will add more functionality to the console.

April 09, 2004 - The Kyoto Shimbun today reported that Nintendo plans to show off a new peripheral for its GameCube console at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2004 this May in Los Angeles. The device will add entirely new gameplay functionality to the company's home system.

Earlier this year Nintendo revealed that it would offer new peripheral devices for GameCube in an effort to extend the life of the system and attract more gamers.

Nintendo will also unveil its new portable the DS, a dual-screened handheld with a touch-screen interface and a stylus input device, at the E3 2004 show.

God I hate Ninty sometimes.

 

[jarrod]

If they did a remake it'd likely be for the PSP since they're making a FF7 Advent Children version for it. They said a remake wouldn't make sense on the PS2 since you can play FF7 on it, so the PSP opens up that possibility of putting it on a system that can't play FF7.

Unfortunately, Square Enix isn't sold on PSP's market viability. If a FFVII remake is currently being made, PSP isn't the likely platform.

Also, Advent Children isn't being made for PSP, it's just getting a UMD release (in addition to DVD). According to SCEI, UMD goes beyond just PSP... Square Enix has yet to announce any PSP games, or general support for that matter (quotes from Square Enix officials sort of fly in the face of SCEI sticking their name on every developer listing).

 

[human5892]

Yes, Cube-Europe said this.

The peripheral will be shown this year!

Cube-Europe is not a terribly reliable source.

VII-2 will come out on the 10th anniversary of FFVII. Not sure if it'll be a new game or remake.

How do you know this?

 

[NetMapel]

AC: Advent Children
BC: Before Crisis
CC: Crystal Chronicles
DC: Dual Clouds <--- :O

LOL, you think? I think they are actually secretly laughing at the Nintendo fanboys.

Their spastic lashing out isn't an indicator of such.
