Shenmue III. Everyone knew the FFVII remake was going to happen at some point. With the state of Sega, Shenmue III looked like it would never happen.


You've got that completely backwards.


How so? Yu Suzuki left Sega in an official capacity 4 years ago.  He's only an advisor with the company now. He was the only one at Sega pushing to finish the saga. Also Sega is no longer the development juggernaught they used to be. Square Enix is still a very large publisher that supports big budget releases. FFVII was a huge hit. The Shenmue franchise was not. FFVII is standalone title that is a remake. Shenmue III is part of an overall story arc and all new title. I'm glad Shenmue III is coming but I'm not sure how it can succeed monetarily without a remastering of the first two games.
