It actually does sound intreguing.

@ fadetoone

The very first line of the quote posted very clearly says:

A big announcement should accompany the release date (of the movie Advent Children Complete)

It's not the first line in the actual article (more towards the end actually) but he does mention a big announcement.

@BMaker

I suppose you didn´t play LO or? Because if you would have played it and you would like classic RPGs you would know what I mean.
By todays standards of non turn-based LO might be average, but for me and all the people I know what like it classic-style it is a dream come true.

Take FF 12 for example that got high scores:
Storyline is really bad.
There is no real character development.
Some characters suck big time.
Music is average.
ETC.

If u take the opposite of that you have LO.

BTW you are right about the sales. Choosing the 360 as a plattform wasnt wise. But Sakaguchi and Ueamtsu are now sponsored by M$, so what is the option for them.

I'd think by now people would know that almost everything with the Final Fantasy name on it gets good ratings.

Lost Odyssey is much better than FFXII, VII, and VIII in almost every aspect and it still got just good ratings.

Whatever.

This might not occur to you that FF is popular with the mainstream unlike most JRPGs so even on the 360, FF would be huge

FFVII won't be as interesting the second time aroud even with the new and improved graphics. All the surprises and story twists would be gone. The game's not worth making. Their resources are better off used for FFXIV.

Thank you guys for your support regarding LO :))))))))))

They could make the story less confusing to us by remaking FFVII.

 I did not find the story to be confusing. Also, this is a project of 2 years to say the least for a remake? You could save the team for a brand new original project (FFXIV)

What was so confusing about it? Were you not paying attention or something?

lol ff12 is better than lost odyssey. Lost odyssey is a good game, but nothing more than that.

spoilers:

1 music . the music is really great sometimes, but when those annoying brats started to sing a lame song to their grandma the game lost its momentum.

2. story. What can i say? its interesting, but very easy to figure out. LIke that bad guy(dont remember his name) i knew from the first moment i saw his oversized eyebrows that he was the bad guy in the game. The story also gets really boring from time to time. LIke those flash backs and stuff like that, also its very annoying when those brats run away over and over.

3. Voice acting. The voice acting is annoying some times due to the bad subtitles. I for one prefer japanese audio but the english subtitles is just the manuscript from the english audio. And thats the problem, the eng manuscript isnt the same as the japanese and the subtitle speed is either to fast or to slow. So i had to put on english audio. The english voices is not as good as the japanese ones but their not bad, but i did notice that they were out of sync some times.

4. gameplay, its turn based, and i like turn based but except the ring system the games delivers nothing new and i have to say the attacks feels like they've been ripped of ff9. Also i hate that you cant wear more than 1 or 2 items and that you cant equip more than 7-8 abilites(based on how many seeds slot you have)
The fact is the combat system ff 9 has is better than lost odysseys'. Also the ring thingy is way to easy and getting a perfect is child play.

5. design. The charcters looks good but not as good as ff imo. LIke that bad guy he looks like chewbacca and kaim or whatever(the good guy?) wears a very hmm what should i say. Gay outfit? still the game looks good. Cut scenes are not on par with ff i can tell you that right away also theres too much loading and framrate drops.

All in all its a good game, but its not final fantasy.
