Why wer they cancelled? i ws luking for ff remake info on google & this link came up, its old But was ther evr a explnation given for cancellation?

Wow! I had no idea this ever existed. I think it's safe to say we'll never be seeing these.

I think i know why these were cancelled. apparently it was hinorobu sakaguchi who announced these just after 'the spirits within' flopped. after that i think his voice in the company carried a lot less weight and he couldnt make the same decisions as before.

in my opinion its a good thing these werent remade back then... because i think they should be remade in about 5-6 years time, when sqaure have mastered the 'crystal tools' engine and can make there games really quickly with lower development costs. and not just 7, all 3. any thoughts on that???

I wouldnt mind remakes of 7 and 9

The only thing I ever heard of was an 'extended edition' of FFVIII with additional content (such as a mission where you play as Seipher with tag alongs Fujin and Rajin). I never heard of complete remakes. This article seems to be talking more about the extended content idea.

I believe the idea of making 'extended versions' of the game got morphed into the 'Final Fantasy VII' project that ended up being all those sequels and prequels of FFVII.

Frankly, I believe the only game that would really need a remake is FFVII. And only because its the only game who's graphics hurt the game overall and because it has so many plotholes.  The other two games are quite playable to this day.  Although FFVIII could use a better translation to fix its image. (whatever)

wow hadnt heard of these at all, maybe their IS hope for remakes of the PS FFs

I also found out other old things

ff10 sales expctations were 10 million!!!!

ff12 ws meant to release in late 2003!!

Yeah i can imagine FF12 was supposed to be released a lot sooner than 2006/2007, sakaguchi was the executitive producer for that, which explains why it took so long, because he left sqaure around that time i believe.

about FF10: 10 million, it did do extremely well, but do you think FFXV could reach that? it would be awesome for an FF title to reach that height again. oh and why do you guys think FF10 didnt sell 10 million??

They weren't old enough at the time.

With them being offered on the PSN (soon to add 9) I doubt there is much need for it right now.

PS4 Launch Collection? Be amazing (and probably be one of the best things Sony could do)
