I skipped the previous gen, so this is great news for me. The remasters, the remakes, everything. Keep them coming :) and actually GTA remaster had great value, the same this FF X remaster had, so why not? If you got it for PS3 or Vita, then skip it, let others that didn't have a chance to enjoy it.

everyone seems to be praising this, so I guess I'm the only one that's looking at it with a "meh" attitude. They're seriously releasing Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster HD. How much more HD can a PS2 game get?

Meanwhile, they still won't give us the FFVII remake we've been asking for for almost 10 years because it "needs to have the demand", but have no problem putting time and money into updating games no one demanded or asked for.

Screw SE


That and it will cost 10 times the price of a new game, according to Yoshida.

Meanwhile tons of new games in both japanese and western IPs, but yeah, screw SE, they did another remake. What a terrible company.

Why would it cost 10 times more? Why not just make a "new" FF with FFVII in mind? You have the characters, story, etc already in place. So that part of the production budget is already covered. Then just build the game like they built FFXIII and are building FFXV. It should have, at the worst, the same development cost as any FF they're working on right now.

You can't use any of the PS1 assets anyway, since they're too old. So just build it from the ground up, like any new FF would be. What's so complicated about that that it has to be "10 times the price of a new game"? Did FFXIII cost 10 times as much?


No, but FFVII HD remake would cost 10 times FFXIII budget according to yoshida. What would cost so much ? I have no fkin idea, I'm no producer. So I trust him on this one.

Pre-Production cost nothing compared to production and marketing, so they might as well do it again. Why would they rehash a 15 years old game when we can have a new one, more modern, with a script that doesn't make me laugh when one of the main characters die, with a villain that doesn't look like an emo and the black guy doesn't have a gatling instead of an arm ?

If you want SE to make spiritual successors to PS1 FF, just buy bravely default and second. They are done in the exact same spirit. If you want to play FFVII again, why would you need an HD remake ? Plug in your PS1 and start playing already. There are tons of solution for people who wants to stay in the past, which doesn't require a AAA budget leading to an inbevitable flop.

The script can be rewritten, new approach to the story, new scenarios, new story telling that would retain the original one's appeal. I consider almost every anime except for Monster to be the stupidest thing ever put on Earth. Do you care about my opinion? So nobody that wants the remake cares about what people that didn't like FF VII have to say.

I completely agree with BMaker11. SE's excuse that it would cost 10 times more than a normal new game would cost is just crazy. They don't want to do it because it's probably the biggest risk they would take and they are pussies. But if that company had competent people like they used to have, they would make the remake.
