FF7 remake on 360?

[dunno001]

*sighs* Well, IF there is an FF7 remake (of which I'm skeptical, given that the PSN version isn't that old yet), AND it were to go to the PS3, I see no reason why they would not also do a 360 version for outside Japan. The FF13 release will keep the series fanbase fragmented outside of Japan, and to get the most sales, they would need to try to capture the entire fanbase. The FF13 on 360 is not something I want to get into about right or wrong, so let's not go there.

As for FF7 and SCE(A/E), yes, they have publishing rights on the PS1 game. That's it. S-E owns the intellectual rights to the game. Likewise, NOA owns the publishing rights to FF1. So, why, then, did FF1 also come out in Origins on the PS1? Why is there a PSP version? Easy- Nintendo's publishing rights are for the NES only. Even a small change of system can require a different publisher, in the cases of FF1 VC and FF7 PSN, which S-E did themselves in both cases. Sure, it's the same exact game as was on the NES and PS1 respectively, but merely changing the system means they are not in violation of distribution rules. The only way S-E would run afoul of the publishing rights of Sony or Nintendo would be if they chose to print more physical copies of FF7 for the PS1 or, perish the thought, more NES carts of FF1. Hell, S-E could do FF7 on the NES if they REALLY wanted to. (Though you can Youtube for that to see what the result would be like...)

In the future, I'd not be surprised if for part of NOA's push on DQ9, if S-E even gave NOA the publishing rights to it. And if they do, it won't preclude them from making a PSP version later. (Nintendo may have other words with them, though...)
