I never knew it was so hard to replace midi tracks, 15 years... now how hard would it have been to just bow to the fan demand and do the damned remake that you keep insisting your not doing and yet keep teasing the fans about.
...wait, is this it? Are people STILL butthurt over them not re-making FFVII in full modern day quality?

You wanna know why they don't do it? You sure? Cause it really has been said to death by now [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/global/search/?q=FFVII+remake+is+not+possible&cx=005672590579257297818%3Amkmrjhvsnwa&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=UTF-8&sa.x=0&sa.y=0]. But if you want me to I'll indulge you, so pay attention:

The reason they aren't remaking FFVII is, not because they hate you, but quite simply
because
[HEADING=3]they[/HEADING]
[HEADING=2]fucking [/HEADING]
[HEADING=1]CAN'T. [/HEADING]

[/rant]
Just to clarify, and so no one takes offence when reading the following, imagine an annoyed sigh from the writer, because that is the mood, annoyed but not angry.

I don't want a remake and I never said I did, what I said was (or thought I did say) Square-Enix is teasing the fans with the remake and then not doing it, this was another "tease and not doing it" move from them, it's the gaming equivalent of a cock-tease and they've been doing it for the best part of a decade.

It's old and I'm sick of it, this is what I am personally angry about, not that there not doing a game I completed 15 years ago and have moved on from, but the fact they keep stringing along people when it's quiet obvious they won't, and by the time they do it will be next to pointless.

But no, miss that point and go straight in and assume it's a butt hurt fan crying over a remake that won't happen, when it's a consumer annoyed that they keep dangling a carrot in front of the people who do want it.

You are right though it would cost a lot of money to do, it did then and would still now, hence why I included kick starter as a suggestion for them if there really worried it wouldn't recoup it's money, just because there a big development and publishing house doesn't mean they should ignore a viable funding source.

Or better yet, Square Enix could stop talking about FF VII, say not going to happen ever, stop doing tech demos of FF VII, or re-releasing minor updated versions of it, releasing sequels, prequels of varying degrees and let the world of VII just fade from public conciousness instead of dragging it up every five minuets.

Yes that's all well and good but this calls for my standard response to anything announced by Squeenix:



Where the fucking cunting hell is Versus 13 and where the fudge buggering hel is Kingdom Hearts 3?! D=<<

Damn it Square.

I never said I didn't have a problem with it and a quick search just to make sure but I can't find any definitive quote saying there not going to remake however it the closest to it was

Yoichi Wada

"We'll make a Final Fantasy VII remake once we?ve made a Final Fantasy game that exceeds to quality of Final Fantasy VII"
which is an effective but not quite no because of the high pedestal fans and the developers have put it on, I'd just be happier with a definitive no without the if's or buts, so yes I have a problem and yes it is just my problem but that doesn't stop me being annoyed by there fan teasing.

anyway let's just drop it I really don't want an argument with anyone over my personal dislike of a companies actions, all I wanted with my previous post was to clarify my position as a just a personal dislike of there attitude of teasing the people who are likely to jump to the remake conclusion constantly. mission accomplished.

I'd rather use my old pc version, there are enough mods and fan-patches out by now. I don't particulary care about achievements or a stat booster.

See, Kingdom Hearts 3 isn't AS annoying because they keep releasing Kingdom Hearts games to fill the gap. Versus 13 only pisses me off because they don't appear to have done ANYTHING in the last 6-7 years. Seriously, it's like... once a year we get a new screenshot. If they were having obvious problems that'd be fine but it looks like they're just investing manpower in stuff like FFXIII-2 rather than something a lot of fans are eagerly waiting for.

Having said that, while it does require a fair bit of work, re-releasing FFVII for PC isn't a MASSIVE time-sink so I'm OK with them doing it o.o-b

Kingdom Hearts definately isn't as bad as Versus 13.
Also FF13-2 was pretty good imo, I picked it up recently and it was what 13 should have been. Deus Ex: Human Revolution was another good Squeenix title.

But I just want Versus 13. It's one of the titles that persuaded me to the PS3 as my main console hub. I want it now and it pisses me off that in 6 or 7 years nothing has happened. They could at least give Type-0 a western release to soften the pain a touch.

Thank god it's finally here, I waited 15 years for this moment!

But the JRPG plus Duke Nukem impersonator combo in that trailer just made my day, you couldn't possibly make it more absurd... ok maybe with dubstep.

When have they EVER teased you over it?

They said, rather explicitly several times: "WE'RE NOT DOING IT! NOT NOW AND MOST LIKELY NOT EVER!" They've apologised for the original PS3 Tech demo (been quite a few years now...) for sending the wrong message, and they've said over and over it's not going to happen. They won't say they'll NEVER do it, because most likely they'd LOVE to do it, it's a gold mine sitting just outside of reach. But they can't do it now. They might do it if it ever becomes plausible, but for now it's not happening.

Again, this is a digital re-release of a classic. Everyone and their mother does this these days. It's great, people love it, it's good money for the company. I'm personally looking forward to it. If you don't want it, then don't buy it. Simply do nothing. How much of a problem is it if you can fix it by not doing anything?

They're not teasing you, they're not taunting you, they're not fucking with you in any fashion - You are. Square-Enix is a company, not a saturday morning cartoon villain. They gain NOTHING from cock teasing their fans with a project that would be worth quite a lot of money to them, but that they can't deliver just to see them frustrated. You're the one who's so obsessed with this shit that they can never say anything related to it that you think they're "teasing you" with something they've said time and again will not happen.

One of the features included is the ability to hack the system to get more items to get you out of a tough spot. Wow, because the designers included that in the game means that they know how inferior PC gamers are to console scrubs. If they can't get past an area because it too hard, they turn on the cheater and get out of that jam. Console gamers are real gamers because they did not have built in cheats to guide them.
Gameshark, codebreaker, save hacking, etc. These things exist for a reason. At least for the PC most of the cheating is in the game, console scrubs are desperate and fail enough to pay extra for a device.

FF7 has been out on PC for years.

This isn't even news :D
It actually is, if people would stop being so snarky and reposting this "it's already there lulullul"

The game was notoriously shit on PC and now it's actually fixed, that alone is news.

Stop ruining it for me Matt, I don't get to be sarcastic very often.
Huh? Your sarcastic all the time!

OT: Woot. So this will be my... fifth or sixth version of this game.

Now, REMAKE FINAL FANTASY IX ALREADY DAMNIT!
Another one?

I was being sarcastic about not being sarcastic very often :D

Damn it Square.
Some other questions: where did Bambi go, what's he doing, and where the hell is Gaston?

"We'll make a Final Fantasy VII remake once we?ve made a Final Fantasy game that exceeds to quality of Final Fantasy VII"
Translation: "We're not remaking our worst game until we finish remaking Final Fantasy V."

Not worst. Most overated.

My least favourite FF is almost definately 13. Just because it was boring. I did enjoy 13-2 though!

Not terribly interested; I've already got it on my PSP through PSN, and I'm currently ignoring it in favor of Chrono Trigger/Cross. I always thought it was overrated, regardless.

*annoyed sigh*

Why do you insist on making this about me and why are you so angry about it? I do -not- want a remake, nor do I need a remake,I have the original on playstation and it still works fine the last time I bothered to play it, however people do want a remake and it's the companies attitude towards them that drew my ire now you personally might not seeing it as taunting and teasing but I do, Different opinions and all that, I came to a thread about FF7 to express that opinion, you disagree with it and I'm cool with that.

I never called them evil, SatAM or otherwise, I just said I felt it was (in my opinion) a bad business practice and when there latest statement from two weeks ago indicates that they will eventually remake it when they've made something better, this again is -not- a denial, and I cannot say I've ever seen them make an outright denial of ever remaking it, they've given reasons why they can't or won't do it yet and made it clear there not doing it now, but they have never said there not doing it ever. I'd just rather they'd do it so I didn't have to listen to fans cry about it.

in short please stop putting words into my mouth as I am fully capable of doing so myself , however if you want to debate my opinion on a company that seems to be trolling it's fan base however unintentionally, then can we do it in a reasonable manner without all the anger?
if not then I have no more to say to you, so please as I asked before let it drop or at the very least stop directing your anger at me for having an opinion you don't agree with.

Can you get FFVII on the Vita at the moment? If so how? I can't find it :(
