Dragon Quest and Crystal Bearers aren't mainstream Final Fantasy and the remakes the DS is seeing are very much not along the same art style as FF7 would probably warrant.

I don't envision a FF7 remake at all really.  I think it's a silly fanboy dream in itself atm.  I'm sure it will happen eventually, but SE is busy milking the franchise nostalgia it seems.

If it was going to happen, and I had to pick a platform line-up that it would best fit in with... I would have to say PSP though.

That doesn't make you any less wrong, though. The DS is getting all of the remakes, just as the PS2 and PS1 got all of the remakes in previous generations.

It's been two generations since FFVII came out. We will be seeing a remake, probably after V and VI are remade, and it will not be on the PSP. Square will not throw away that much money for anything.

Final Fantasy II Anniversary Edition for the PSP says hi.  It's bad form when you tell someone else they're wrong and are wrong in your own next sentence.

You can shout DS as much as you like but it still doesn't make it right with Dissidia and especially Crisis Core on the PSP side which are more related to FF7 than all of the DS titles put together.

Touché; I ha assumed that the PSP remakes of the first two games had come out before FF3, but in fact they did not.

It does not change the fact, however, that they were very heavily advertised and did not even break 300k copies apiece, whereas the DS remakes did better numbers than that in any single region. Hell, Dawn of Souls did better than that, and that did come first.

Dissidia is Smash Bros. for Final Fantasy, and would not have worked the same way on the DS - it is not in any way tied into the FF7 name. The FF7 cast isn't given special prominence. The FF1 cast is, perhaps.

As to Crisis Core - doesn't matter. Crisis Core was announced and began development during a time when it was unclear as to whether or not the PSP would make a comeback.

Like I said - I don't expect th remake on the DS. Maybe the Wii, depending on how long the system is out. The PSP is just a pipe dream, though, andy ou are only setting yourself up fo disappointment.

Dawn of Souls was on the GBA.  Please... check your facts.  ^_^

Eh, I'm not setting myself up for anything.  I don't have a DS or PSP nor am I interested in a FF7 remake.  I was merely commenting on the platform that had the most related game line-up to FF7.

I am fully aware of what system Dawn of Souls was on - I also know that it outsold either of the PSP remakes in Japan alone. It made Square a lot more money.

The fact that they release Crisis Core on the PSP is not necessarily indicative of anything. If it were, the FFIV sequel and remake would have ended up on the same system.

@WoW

I really have trouble seeing how you can say the PSP is better for FF and rpgs when the DS remakes are selling better than original new contendo like FF: D



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

So you're comparing a mature GBA fanbase (at a time when the GBA had what for competition?) to the PSP fanbase at those releases?  I see.

I would expect all the 8/16 bit remakes to go on the DS.  That isn't surprising.  Seeing an FF7 remake on the DS would be surprising though.

You have trouble seeing it because that wasn't what I said.



ok, misinterpreted what you were saying, sorry.

Bully 2, or some sort of GTA game is possible from rockstar. I'm sure there will be another new resident evil on wii. Its done extremely well on wii, and wii will continue to dominate.



Support good third party games on wii. Buy games like house of the dead overkill, de blob, madworld, the conduit and boom blox.

Consider that the DS has a larger installbase than the GBA ever had right now, and that in a year the Wii will be within a stone's throw of that same number. The PSP increasing userbase is not apparently helping its software sales overmuch - the fact that later buyers apparently don't buy legacy software is indicative of bad trends for games with legs.
