SCEA owns rights to FF7, thus it wouldn't go multiplatform.

 

SCEA published the PSX version of the game along side SE.  They don't own the rights to it. SE does. Eidos published the PC version.

PLEASE NO!

I wanted to see how long it took for him to realise that himself

please edit your post....don't ruin the fun lol!

 

Sorry, it was far too tempting.

One would think that an FFVII remake would be for some sort of PS system. I mean every game in the series (except the mobile ones) have been on a PS system, even Advent Children is now being released on Blu-Ray, and bundled with the PS3 in Japan.

I do really think that Sony owns the rights or Square feels they are in debt to Sony and need to release them on the PS brand. I mean if not then why would they put Crisis Core on the PSP? Surely it would've sold more on the DS...

That's not true.  There are plenty of Nintendo ones.

What Sony bought when they got FF7 was the "Right of first refusal" for publishing.  It's been mentioned in articles i couldn't find.

Which if that is still the case... would just mean SE could go "FF7 Xbox 360 exlusive do you want to publish"

And basically sony's choice is to publish the game or not.

(If so it means they refused to publish the PC version... which is stupid.)

 

 

 

Bolded: Of course I know that the FF series started on Nintendo and all that, I was talking about the FFVII franchise, maybe I should've called it universe?

I know it doesn't mean you own the rights just because you publish a game, but I still find it weird that they have made all FFVII's for the PS brand.

I don't think it was that odd.  I mean the only "unexplainable" one is Crisis Core really.

People like to blame MS for it.  Why couldn't Sony have "moneyhatted" it.

Or they just saw monster hunter could move PSPs and decided to role with it.

I mean if you look at the descriptions of the deal they signed it was basically the rights of first refusal for FF7, Final Fantasty Tactics and two other games.  I wanna say Bushido Blade was one of them.

 

Well it wouldn't be too strange to make Dirge of Cerberus multi-plat PS2 and XBOX, but then again SE weren't that into multi-plats last gen.

 

And if they moneyhatted those then why wouldn't they do it for the FFVII remake? I mean the orignial did wonders for the first PS in Japan so why wouldn't they want it again?

Because the loss of revenue would probably command a very large chunk of change.  Also the effect of FF7 on the PS1 is overstated.

 

 

Eh, let's agree to disagree?

I didn't think we were really disagreeing on anything but ok.

The PS1 was really popular when it first released.  People like to credit it's success to FF7 and the DVD drive... but it was just a good system.

 

 

We weren't really but, I would have just kept saying the same things I've been saying in this thread over and over. Because I'm retarded like that.

But don't you think the N64 could've given the PSone a run for it's money in Japan if all FF's and DQ's would've been exclusive to the N64?

In Japan?  Sure.  Elsewhere though....

I'd of been shocked if it's sales would of been a combined 1 mil without Sony's massive marketing push.

I don't think FF7 has a remake... but if it happens maybe will go to PS3.

Blu-Ray will give them a lot of space for CGI and graphics.

 

You know... FF7 is too long...

Game was meant to be played on no other system then the PlayStation, whether it be 1 2 or 3.. And if they do announce a remake, It will be an exclusive.

 

 QFT!!!!

There is no chance that a FF7 remake would appear on the 360 ,just like FF13.................hold on somethings not right.......

 

 

Final Fantasy 13 isn't out yet.

Final Fantasy 7, is.. And what a suprise, it was on PlayStation.. The chances of it being an exclusive, since it was on the PS1, is very high.

 

 

Just had to debunk two things. Firstly, FF1-6 were released on Nintendo systems and later re-released/remade on non-Nintendo systems.  Thus going by history the chances of it being an exclusive are very small.

Why do you think this, though, that SE fels like it owes Sony something?

Because they've released all FFVII games on the PS brand. As I said Crisis Core would've probably sold more on the DS, so why did SE make it for the PSP?

 

Just as an example, Kingdom Hearts universe isn't exclusive to a single company.

 

I really like this thought: "There's really only one chance left: if Square-Enix dives fully into the as-yet-untapped capabilities of the PS3 and opts to focus entirely on that piece of hardware for the remake. There's even the remote possibility that they began working on the idea some time ago, with only the PS3 in mind. If you want to entertain this train of thought, feel free." Square-Enix is going to devote more to a FFVII remake(by making it impossible to port to 360) than they are on the current biggest project of FFXIII.

I don't think a remake is on the horizon at this time.  Like others I think that IF we do see one, it will be on a system/handheld yet to be released.

I'd agree if they weren't getting the shaft from SE.

u best get with the reality that the fans dont want no watered down MP remake. that would suck big time. And yes, ALL MP games r watered down games 4 obvious reasons.

the remake needs to emulate exactly how the original was. That means exclusive 2 PS3, pushing the envelope of what we have ever deemed possible, and hyped to ungodly perportions. SE better get it right or else. Japanese fans wont tolerate anything else(the reason XIII is still excusive in japan ).

This is moronic. See the bold and realize the closed minded nature of this statement. It doesn't need to be exclusive to the PS3 to push the envelope graphically (especially against the PSX version) but still holding the integrity of the original game.
