Forums - Sony - After the PSX, I have the most sour taste in my mouth right now

I enjoyed the conference, I really did. I though it was a fun, entertaining conference. I thought it was better than Sony's E3 conference. Here's the thing though:

I saw Sony apparently backing Street Fighter V. Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle remakes. Great news for fighting and classic adventure fans! Both genres are kinda niche (adventures are REALLY niche), so more power to you.

But other niche genre... Rpgs. I was NOT expecting big rpg announcements or a genre revival AT ALL. But then Square comes on stage... talks about SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO... Final Fantasy VII is COMING BACK and, and... it's a port of the Steam release.

The problem here is not that we don't have the remake, it's the bait and switch that bothers me. A remake now wouldn't make sense obviously, but how do you make such a huge announcement for the same game? Huh? Other than that, we had Persona 5 (just a localization confirmation), and Suikoden I and II on PSONe Classics...

 

...which is pretty much the universe giving me the finger and saying that no, there won't be a triumphant return for the genre and they will stay DEAD. I'm not saying I'm done with Square and rpgs or anything (look at my sig). But all the liiiitle hope I had? Crushed.

Please be excited.



FF XV will save us (?)



I was hoping for something more exciting! It started off great but man it kept on going down and I swear to god SE gets turned on by their trolling

The way they built it up and shut it down just hurts the most. At least it's better than nothing.



Very disappointed as well. They shouldn't just announced it from the beginning instead of give everyone hope of an actual remake.

After Tomb Raider and this, SquareEnix deserves the turd of the year award from PlayStation.

I don't think it was bait and switch. I think they're really that oblivious to fan's desires.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Please be excited, so we can troll you even HARDER!.



They almost had me for a second there, I was getting extremely excited when I was watching the stream. But then... ugh...
