Are people just not vocal to Square Enix that this just isn't something they want or does Square Enix just not care?

Maybe a petition would actually be worth it right now. It usually never works but it could in this case.

well the $$ speak and they have told SQEX to continue with FF on iOS. maybe if nobody bought them they would stop but its obviously not the case

the easy way is just to compress the FMV's like they were on PSX.

The reason why the PC ones was bigger because they doubled the resolution of the FMV's. And probably uncompressed textures that still looked bad.
The PSN version was only 1.2 gb. if I remember.

The textures and mods that made it like 8gb was done by fans.

That said, people always translate tweets or whatever wrong. So what he actually said probably (hopefully) makes more sense.

Did you even play the pc-version?! PSX had jmpeg-vids with awesome quality, the pc-version had mpeg1-crappy vids which were a shame even for blind people!

I don't remember ever asking for this...I fact I don't remember anyone ever saying I wish I had Final Fantasy 7 on my phone. Must be a Japanese thing, they are obviously fully switched to phones....

I got Final fantasy on WP8 with achievements. Works really well on the platform. Maybe Microsoft could talk to them or fund it for WP8. Id be really happy with that. Nudge nudge Major Nelson.

not the new PC version. They replaced it. Before Modders modded out the PSX FMV's and put it into Fractals. Now they've used the new PC version and put it into FRACTALS because it's slightly better.

I own all 4 versions. Because I waste my money (1998 PC version, PSX Version, 2012 PC version, PSN Version).
