Why were these FF7, FF8, & FF9 Remakes for PS2 Cancelled?

I would love for them to port FFVII on the 3DS. I mean not a overhaul remake, but just a port. Keep all the pre-rendered backgrounds, CG cutscenes, and turn based battle but just update the character models so they won't look like Legos.

It would also serve as an apology to Nintendo fans for switching over to Sony.

A 3DS version of FF7 would be an absolutely perfect fit in my opinion. I would gladly buy that one.

 

I don't blame Square for jumping ship to Sony, Sony obviously had a greater financial interest in Square, and invested in the company (Nintendo didn't bother) and created hardware and a sales environment more suitable for the game. Nintendo went very exclusive and elitest, and as a result they had very little to offer on the N64 (and I mean quanitity here, I remember owning an N64 and considering each and every game thoroughly because only one game was released every month or two).

I agree.  I think hand helds are the place to do these old JRPG . 

FFVII seems to be the one that people want to be redone the most.  I think it is the only one that would do well if released on a full console.  I don't think the market is there for VIII and IX, unless you put them on a handheld, as is.  Of course, if it doesn't take too much investment, releasing the old games on PSN or XBL is also not a bad idea.

I give this thread a 9.5.
