You should all know that PC means nothing

And you should know Banjo-Kazooie is on XBLA.

The illusion of brand loyalty means less than nothing.

I know... i have it myself.

But, if there is no Sony deal... why isn't FF7 on Live?

Like I mentioned before, Square-Enix most probably had no plans on bringing FF7 to the PSN. Sony more than likely approached them asking for a PSN version of FF7 to make their weak (Compared to XBL) downloadable game line up appear much better with Final Fantasy VII on the list.

Microsoft have not asked for it.

Also having a PSN FF7 gave Sony something to brag about at E3.

Exactly, unless we're talking about Diablo 3!

Lack of financial incentive? Limit on the size of XBLA titles? Those are two pretty easy ones.

How big can an XBLA title be?

You know what? I'm not sure. I'll go look it up.

Turns out it's like 350MB. Which is way too small.

Watchmen is around 1.2Gb.

You also have a 1.8Gb DLC (Lost & Damned) I can't remember if Shivering Isles is bigger.

Edit: Some info http://news.softpedia.com/news/Xbox-Live-Arcade-File-Size-Limit-Depends-on-the-Quality-of-the-Game-106486.shtml

Basicly the file limit depends on the quality of the game. FF7 is 40hour+ AAA+ material so it should be allowed the space required.

What's to stop it going on Live? Well they would have to port it, so it is not free money in the same way


What and 0 XBL users are going to purchase it? They have a buyer right here that would definetly pick it up "again" on XBLA.

It really couldn't cost much for them to port over a 5th generation game to the Xbox 360. Heck they could port the PC version with better audio. That would be even easier. It would cost even less then the DS remakes.

Final Fantasy VII is a goldmine. Where ever Square take it they will make profit.

actually the PC version was worse.. i had it.

it have some bugs that make the game unplayable, it could screw up your save also. controls were annoying , and the video were mere converstions.

text was easier to read though.

you know goldeneye was also by rare and it's on the XBLA mainly because nintendo was the publisher are they are not giving in golden eye so easy.

if a ff7 pc exist and sony  and squaresoft have to give a green light to go.

Ports

The President of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, announced that Nintendo is exploring the possibility of adding GoldenEye 007 to the Wii Virtual Console, despite a complicated situation in which the game's developer Rare is owned by Microsoft (producers of the rival Xbox 360 console) and the video game rights to the James Bond franchise are held by Activision. He stated, "We would love to see it [on the Virtual Console], so we're exploring all the rights issues."[46]

On January 7, 2008, Xbox Evolved confirmed the existence of GoldenEye 007 on Xbox Live Arcade.[47] On January 11, 2008, 1UP.com reported that a GoldenEye port (as opposed to a remake) had been in development at Rare for several months, but stated that the title would not be released on the Xbox Live Arcade since "Microsoft and Nintendo couldn't agree on the financial side of things."[48]

Sure, Sony didn't want it on PSN to add to the PSone Classics part of PSN... it was just to compete with Live.

Any links to say that MS aint asked for it?

@Khuutra, some downloads are way bigger than that.

Considering all of the previous FF remakes have gone to Nintendo handhelds (GBA and DS), that is also a possibility.

Given that this is S-E, we could also be talking about 2013 -- which means it won't matter since the Mayans said the world ends in 2012.

Mike from Morgantown

All the previous FF's that have been remade were on Nintendo Platforms intially. Nothing from FFVII and up have been remade. Closest thing was releasing FFVII on PSN.

How many XBLA titles are?



well it would be nice but, i'd prefer not to wait another 4 years for FFXV.. so, it's ok if they can do both at the same time

I've not checked. And i dont intend on going through the entire Marketplace to find out.

1 thing i do know, they can get 2.31GB of Halo: Combat Evolved onto the Marketplace, so there is no reason why FF7 wouldn't fit.
