I dont think anyone who has already invested 100 hours of their life in FFVII is going to want to do it again and i dont think it will have a fraction of the appeal it had back when it was originally released. People were excited about FFVII for the simple reason it was on 3disks!

I cant see much logic in spending the money and effort giving this a major overhaul, they would be better just developing a new game..for the DS ;)

in other words this is wat you said " PUT IT ON THE DS, SCREW THE PS3 THE SALES ARE TERRIBLE, NINTENDO FTW!!!" This is translated version of what you said. It maybe ruthless of me to indicate that, but again its true, you would rather want the ds to have ff vii becuase you dont want to buy a ps3.


Ooh please, dont get over excited. the part about the DS was humour spanning from the previous part about spending money. There is very little incentive for SE to port FFVII to any machine. A DS version would be quite difficult due to cart sizes (but not impossible), but as i said, it is not worth their time and money when they would be using that to develop a NEW FF game that would sell better. FFVII was special in the time of its release for a number of reasons and not all of them would still work 10 years later. 

It was their first 'next gen' game.

It came on 3 disks, something unheard of.

The FMV was of a standard we hadnt seen before.

It came with an incredible amount of hype.

It was the first FF game to get real media attention in the west.

ALOT of people bought into the hype and got bored of the turn based, slow, repetitive battles, im sure FFVII was the first, and last FF game that alot of people played 

All of those things have come to pass now, You cant just rehash a popular 10 year old game and expect it to retain its magic. 

 

And to answer your personal poke at me, im not avoiding buying a PS3, i desperatly want a reason to buy one, FFVII would not be one of them, ive already put atleast 120 hours into that game, i have no intentions of doing it all again in a higher resolution.
