What's to stop it going on Live? Well they would have to port it, so it is not free money in the same way


What and 0 XBL users are going to purchase it? They have a buyer right here that would definetly pick it up "again" on XBLA.

It really couldn't cost much for them to port over a 5th generation game to the Xbox 360. Heck they could port the PC version with better audio. That would be even easier. It would cost even less then the DS remakes.

Final Fantasy VII is a goldmine. Where ever Square take it they will make profit.

actually the PC version was worse.. i had it.

it have some bugs that make the game unplayable, it could screw up your save also. controls were annoying , and the video were mere converstions.

text was easier to read though.

you know goldeneye was also by rare and it's on the XBLA mainly because nintendo was the publisher are they are not giving in golden eye so easy.

if a ff7 pc exist and sony  and squaresoft have to give a green light to go.

Ports

The President of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, announced that Nintendo is exploring the possibility of adding GoldenEye 007 to the Wii Virtual Console, despite a complicated situation in which the game's developer Rare is owned by Microsoft (producers of the rival Xbox 360 console) and the video game rights to the James Bond franchise are held by Activision. He stated, "We would love to see it [on the Virtual Console], so we're exploring all the rights issues."[46]

On January 7, 2008, Xbox Evolved confirmed the existence of GoldenEye 007 on Xbox Live Arcade.[47] On January 11, 2008, 1UP.com reported that a GoldenEye port (as opposed to a remake) had been in development at Rare for several months, but stated that the title would not be released on the Xbox Live Arcade since "Microsoft and Nintendo couldn't agree on the financial side of things."[48]

They are easy to fix bugs. And Golden Eye won't be coming to Live or the VC simply because Activision now own the license to the James Bond Franchise. They won't allow it unless they get something in return and Microsoft owning the developer of Golden Eye doesn't improve Nintendo's chances either.

Like many of us have mentioned Sony own's no License with the Final Fantasy franchise. Square-Enix decide where it goes. Sony gets
no green light to fiddle with.
