Yes it does, SE said FFVII could not be published on xbox live for that same reason.

Sony only published PS version, PC version was published by Eidos (even in North America). So FF VII already is on non-Sony platform. I don't know whether they own North American rights for FF VII but it would seem illogical to let FF VII to be released on PC and not even publish it. There could also be that they only own rights for PS version but not PC version.

Metal Gear Solid 1 was also on PC and that hasn't found its way to XBL yet, it isn't in the MGS HD Collection either. It could be because the PSN version is emulated and Kojima didn't think a port would be worth the effort, but you never know.

Tha's a really funny situation, Microsoft actually ported the game to PC.  It was part of the deal that brought Metal Gear Solid 2 to the Xbox.  I'm thinking there would have been more work involved to get that in the collection than anyone would have guessed.  Plus the Twin Snakes compilation might have stake with Nintendo, so that was probably off limits.

Yeah, I thought porting the Twin Snakes would have been a good idea.

As for the original, it wouldn't look good in a HD collection, plus an XBL port would look much better than emulation and then there would be complaints.

You never know though, if the HD collection is successful, MGS1 might be put on PSN and XBL like Castlevania SOTN was.

When Monster Hunter Tri switched over, Monster Hunter wasn't the beast it was, and the PS3 wasn't doing so hot either.  The PS3 and 360 are both doing well now, if they were doing how they are there's a good chance Monster Hunter Tri would still have been on the PS3.  As far as Monster Hunter 4 goes, I'm sure NIntendo had something to do with that cause, to risk sales, is a bad move by Capcom.

I think Capcom are getting a nice percentage out of the second analog bundle.

I'll say what everyone is dancing around. Final Fantasy 7 remake on the 3DS will look like ass. Graphics have gotten a lot better and to be frank would you want Final Fantasy 7 remake looking like Final Fantasy X/XII or would you rather it look like Final Fantasy XIII? If you're going to take the time to remake your highest selling game you damn well better put all your resources and do a good job and putting the game on the 3DS wouldn't do that.

First, I would like to clarify that I really don't think it's FF7 (if the rumor is even true at all).

That said, there is a reason why a FF7 remake (port?) would end up on the 3DS instead of an HD console. It would be the same logic that lead Capcom to put MHTri on the Wii instead of the PS3 - development time and money. SE went on record quite a few times that a FF7 remake would take forever (in development time). So where wouldn't it take forever? Perhaps on the 3DS.

But, as I wrote initially, I don't think it's FF7.

It probably isn't and that doesn't change the fact that a remake of Square's highest selling game deserves the highest possible treatment.  It's not like we're discussing the remake of a second tier game, or a remake of a 2D based game.  We're discussing a remake of Square's flagship game, it was a game changer to say the least.

I understand what you are saying, but by roughly the same logic, with MH being Capcom's flagship franchise in Japan, MHTri shouldn't have come to  the Wii and MH3G and MH4 shouldn't be coming to the 3DS... Yet they are, so if they could, so could FF7.

When Monster Hunter Tri switched over, Monster Hunter wasn't the beast it was, and the PS3 wasn't doing so hot either.  The PS3 and 360 are both doing well now, if they were doing how they are there's a good chance Monster Hunter Tri would still have been on the PS3.  As far as Monster Hunter 4 goes, I'm sure NIntendo had something to do with that cause, to risk sales, is a bad move by Capcom.

But this doesn't contradict what I am saying, if anything it reinforces it - if it happened with MH4, it could happen with a FF7 remake.

I could imagine something like the following:

SE: There is strong demand for a FF7 remake, but it would take us years and years and a huge budget to port it to HD, making this project unrealistic (not my words, I recall someone from SE actually saying something like this a year ago) . What shall we do? We are leaving money on the table... Wii? Nope, porting would be too difficult again, with unknown results. DS? Not strong enough. 3DS or Vita? Hmm.... Vita is an unknown and oh, MH is coming to 3DS, and oh, 3DS sales are picking up, now let's see now if Nintendo offer us some incentive as well.

Nintendo: yup.

SE: ok let's do it.

Ramifications such as fan outrage? Already happened with FFXIII. And if a little effort is put into it then no, while not HD, FF7 won't look like ass on the 3DS. I don't know if you have seen games on the 3DS, but the 3D effect when used properly adds something that makes games look so much better than the 2d shots you see of them.

Of course a FF7 remake could end up on Vita and not 3DS, all I am saying is that the above is a very possible scenario.

Compared to what the game can look like, yes it will look like ass.  And to be frank, I wouldn't even care if the game was a Wii U exclusive.  Like whatever business decision they decide to make is their business decision.  And about Monster Hunter, again is a bit different, cause most of its sales come from handhelds.  Monster Hunter isn't a game that focuses on story and story telling.  Final Fantasy wouldn't be what it is without its stories, it's the main reason there's so much hate/love for every release in the series.  And as I said before, Final Fantasy is Square's flagship title (Street Fighter 2 is Capcom's if you wanna know, and Street Fighter 4 and Street Fighter 2 HD got proper treatment), to put a game that people are just gonna play for its story on a console that won't do that story justice compared to other consoles, is just wrong.

Tbh it's possible people will get hung up on the whole it was on this console non-sense but it's all irrelevant, what's funny is the talk of FF being a flagship title well so was FFIII and FFIV, a remake of VII won't be a flagship as FFXV will be on the way then. If Nintendo and SE strike a deal then's the's nothing anyone can really say, things are different now to when SE and Nintendo fell out, I more inclined to think it's DQVII.



Meh, it's been like four days and I've gotten no response.
