FFXIV producer tanaka steps down ...

<< < (8/9) > >>

dbml:
I'm honestly glad that it failed. Final Fantasy is NOT built for MMOs... it's all about the incredible stories and characters. Hopefully they learned their lesson.

But yes. Remaking the older ones with the PS3 engine would have me going nuts. The fan base for the older games is gigantic. Not like it'll ever happen though. Just think how long XIII took to make... the amount of towns was practically zero. Imagine the years it'd take to do all the towns from VII. We're looking at a decade of work. By then we'll be up to the PS5 probably :P

I can wait that long, even if i'm 50 years old and they release a remake of FF7, I would play it madly :)

Do remember that even though it was a great story and all, FF7 was unfinished.

fohfoh:
Concur. FF series is no good for MMO.

Golden Sun and Pokemon or Digimon would make for a far better MMO. Hell, I'd even dare to say that GITS could be an interesting MMO. But it's not even a game in the same category afaik.

I don't think it would be impossible, they can mod the existing engine and since they are just remaking a game they do not need to think up original content.

if we are talking about FF7, then no, they have to re-do the engine from scratch, it won't be able to handle the current HiDef graphics used now, I don't see a problem in doing so either, as much as they could milk the cow that is Final Fantasy VII (which after 13 years is still being played by milions of people, me included) making a new engine, creating things as they were, giving the same story and quests AND finishing the game development in which they abandoned a few things and ideas cuz they really were short on time (delayed 2 times) I think that even if the game was released on 4 DVD9 disks, people would still flock it and pay even up to 100$ if not more, and some pervs would do that just to see Tifa's oversized fan-service boobs or Yuffie's flat chest :D

Square simply has no will to do it, they know it would bring them a lot of cash, they just don't want to...
