Forums - Gaming - FInal Fantasy VII - Can remakes go on other systems besides Sony systems?

The reason why Nintendo canned a XBL version of Goldeney ewas because Nintendo owned a majority of Rare at the time of production, and tey actually financed parts of it

Some of the japanese third-parties don't have a branch outside of Japan. A few have a branch in America, none of them have one in Europe. Those who don't have a branch must make a deal with another company that do have a branch in these territories and in most cases they make deals with the console-makers. The Gamecube and Wii versions of Resident Evil 4 was published by Nintendo in Europe, the PS2 version was published by Sony, and going back to FF7 because Square at that point didn't have a branch outside of Japan at all relied on Sony for publishing outside of Japan.

FF I - Appeared on... what, 7 different platforms? (Including PC)
FF II - 5?
FF III - 2?
FF IV - 4
FF V - 3
FF VI - 3
FF VII - 2
FF VIII - 2
FF IX - 1
FF X - 1
FF XI - 3
FF XII - 1

Just wanted to let everyone know - Square is a whore. Unless they signed contracts with sony (Hey Sony! We'll help your ass and give you our really popular series of RPGS if we can only ever put it on Ps1 coughandpccough) it will go where they want.

This is not about if FFVII will appear on Wii, it's about if its legally possible, which it is. Personally, I don't give a f* about FFVII, I've never liked the game.

Also, the gross of the fans of the game are Sony fans anyway.

Soriku - Square could do a direct port - yes. a remake? yes! but they way they would remake it, it would have to be the best and finest remake ever. I'm saying close to or on par with FF7 Advent children. That is why they won't remake it for the wii.

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

Sure, it could go to the Wii, but I don't really see the point of that. The reason fans want a remake so bad is to make the game visually stunning. They generally don't want the gameplay or anything else altered very much, they just want the in-game graphics to match (or come close to) the CGI cutscenes.

Remaking the game on the ps3 or 360 (or both) would accomplish this, but remaking it for the Wii wouldn't. The entire point of the Wii is new and innovative gameplay, not awesome graphics, which is the exact opposite of what proponents of a FFVII remake want.



I wonder, what fans want ff vii the most..

playstation fans?(which every ps3 owner has been begging for a remake)

or

nintendo fans?(which is made up of 70% casual gamers(wii))

Only console a true FF7 remake could work on is PS3

Wii technology is to weak to warrant a FF7 remake they might as well have done it for PS2 while 360 is no mans land in Japan.



Square-Enix would bleed money for development costs if it were to go on PS3. Just look how long and much FFXIII is going for on PS3. It's like a double-edged sword or like the Pokemon, "Rampardos," trying to use Head Smash (base damage of 150; Rampardos has a 165 base attack stat), which would be SUICIDE if used; it would give a 50% recoil to it. If the game doesn't sell well, it's going to cost Square-Enix DEARLY and they could file bankruptcy. The FFXIII series is a big budget game.

If Square-Enix were to remake FFVII, it would cost A LOT of money. People know it would be a hit, but how PS3 is currently selling out on the market, it could be either good or bad (if the game were just to be announced, then PS3 would be selling like crazy). We DO NOT know how games will sell; it's the same thing that Nintendo wasn't expecting about the demand for the Wii.

To answer the topic's question, yes, the games can go on other consoles. Even though Square-Enix slept in bed with Sony and produced a lot of different/new Final Fantasy games, it doesn't mean they are LOYAL. It's like a girl wanting money in a man. Nintendo didn't change from cartridge format to CD-ROM because Square-Enix wanted some better stuff. Sony showed off its goods, so Square-Enix left Nintendo to go sleep with Sony. Square-Enix was FIRST with Nintendo, and now that Nintendo is showing that they have what it takes to be successful, Square-Enix will go crawling back to Nintendo because they were with them first and they know that they are a company that will prosper with financial status. Now Square-Enix is unsure about Sony because their marketing is not that stable anymore, they made foolish errors and they are way ahead of their time (with the PS3's power), but Square-Enix will still want a bit of that power (ONLY PS3; not Sony). Square-Enix only WANTS to use a powerful console to make their dreams of a graphically powerful game franchise, in which fantasy becomes a reality. THAT is what we call Final Fantasy, folks.
