Lmao Square you suck at announcing games. Can see KH3 coming late next year but FF7R will probably be out by the start of next gen.

I wish they didn't announce the games if they were no where near completing them, that's just common sense. Unless Sony pressured them to do it.

FF7R was annouced to coincide with 20th anniversary.

They could have just released the FF Collection and called it a day, sheesh. Dragon Quest XI was announced on July 28th 2015 and it's releasing almost exactly 2 years later on July 29th this year. That's how you announce a game.

They also said that they wouldn't remake FFVII unless a Final Fantasy game surpassed it in sales, which never happened. So I really have come to not trust anything that comes from the Square side of development. I'd rather be surprised about a game coming in 1 year than 6, and it's only the first part. The bottom line is, Square has issues announcing games. Sure, it got a great response, it's FFVII but hearing this news has got my hard on for FFVII gone flaccid...yes I went there.

I imagine putting together a nice-looking trailer for a conference is a lot easier than putting together a full-fledged game. And Sony has considerable leverage: they're market leaders and SE moves lots of software on PlayStation.

Well they had a full-fledged game... they just chose not to release it on PS4 until a year after Xbox. So yeah... you'd think Sony's market leader position would be more significant for that than producing a trailer for a game.

True. Still, these long years between announcement and launch are ridiculous.

So, wait another gen after that and you'll get the FF7R Ultra Ultra HD Complete Edition for PS6

Nah the PS4 will have FF7R episode 2.

Within 3 years doesn't sound great to begin with, but SE also have a history of being overly optimistic with their predictions...

My thoughts exactly.

IF they are saying 3 years right now, that to me means the best case we see one of them in three years. Most likely 5 years though.

That's what Wada said. None agreed with him on that. After he stepped down SE made a complete turn around of his policies. Comparing DQ11 to a remake of globally renowned title is not a good choice. Not only is the DQ series very formulaic, the manpower/time needed to develop them is nowhere FF levels. 20th anniversary of FF7 is to celebrate FF7; what relevance would an general collection have? Internet was outraged at the FF7 port troll annoucement. We been begging for an FF7R for over 10 years. Perfect opportunity comes up and you want a collection over the remake?
