I mean until playstation's standard is VR and we have illumination and projection of yugioh monsters in real life, i think the release of a ps5 would start being like cell phones, yeah you get updated hardware every 6 months but, do you really need it? and the person who said 2023 for the release of ff7...i just died a bit inside. square enix why you do this? are the Japanese devs really hell-bent on inventing a new engine every time they have a serious release? what could possibly be in ff7 that would require a remake to be that impressive? ff15 wasn't even that long of a game if you compare the span of content to like Witcher 3 or even GTA. | ||

It’s been three years since we’ve seen anything from Square Enix regarding its episodic remake of Final Fantasy VII. The game was a no-show again at E3 this year, but it remains in development, according to Tetsuya Nomura, who has a hand in the title along with directing Kingdom Hearts III. “We are developing [Final Fantasy VII] in parallel, and it’s not just in the early concept stages,” he tells The Verge. “We are actually in development.” The longtime Square Enix developer says he’s been giving equal effort to both highly anticipated games. “So right now, it’s like I’ve been putting in 100 percent into Kingdom Hearts, 100 percent into Final Fantasy VII, 100 percent into Kingdom Hearts... just going back and forth,” he says. “It’s just like [working on] two titles is just going to be one [after Kingdom Hearts III’s launch]. That’s pretty much how I see it.” Source | ||

Final Fantasy VII is the highest selling JRPG of all time, I'd give the edge to VII, granted the not-simulatenous release will hurt it, but I wouldnt expect it to be triple oversold. | ||

Pokémon Red and Blue is a RPG made in Japan and sold twice that? So did most other Pokemon games. Though the point of FFVII selling ~2 times of KH2 is true. The figure you are using for KH2 is a decade old so it is probably around 5 million now a days. | ||

Fine, console rpg** And even if I concede that 5 million figure, what makes you think it will sell triple ? Has the fanbase tripled? Because the sales figures on the last few kingdom hearts releases don't reflect that. | ||

I think the game will do well, but to say 3 will sell 15 when a lot of people are going to hate it for the complicated story. Hell, im really shocked Disney didn't mandate them to reboot KH instead of a 3. idk, the numbers don't add up for me, especially when we look at the numbers of the lastest additions to the series. | ||

I just think being upset that it's "taking away" from 7R dev time or that it's only for disney babbies is a bit silly when it's also been in development for so long and we're discussing it in relation to a game that's a remake of something over 20 years old lol. You can't say that "the KH/KH2 crowd grew up and newcomers won't want to play the older games to catch up" when you could say the same thing about FF7 itself. Sure you don't have to play the other Final Fantasy games to know anything about FF7, but if they do their jobs right with KH3, especially since it's been so long, then it should be the same, stand on its own. Idk what point I'm even trying to make anymore. I'm just laughing at people salty that the game director has another project he needs to finish up. Especially calling KH a disney ad for little kids when we're sitting here foaming at the mouth for news about a PS1 game from 1997. I've survived the last 4 years without new info on the remake or when it's launching, and I'll probably survive the next 4 as well. It's done when it's done. Frankly the longer they take the higher my hopes are. Rushing out a trashy cash grab of such a popular game would be easy money lol. | ||

My niece and nephew are 8yo. They'll absolutely love KH3. How many other 8-15 year olds would love to play this? It has all the Disney you could shake out of a tree. It'll sell like crack in the 80s. I never played FF7 so I don't get the hype. I think I had disc 1 of 8 or something so I couldn't even play it. My first foray into FF is FF12 (underrated). From there, I've been critical of everything except FF14 ARR. FF7R should be good for people like me who don't feel invested to go back and play the OG to understand the hype. This will suffice. | ||

Anything past 3 years or so for AAA doesn't show anything about if it will be good or not. You can end up with games in development hell that takes 7+ years and delivers a product that is 4 years behind its time and wasn't great for that time either. Or you get great and polished games. Hard to tell at that point since they sooner or later have to cut losses on a project that keeps running over time. I am not even sure I will play FFVII re-make. I didn't great enjoy the original and didn't finish it. I will judge it based on its own merits, it could be called FFXVI for all I care about the name.  | ||

You're definitely right about this. I didn't mean to imply taking forever automatically makes it good lol. Just that rushing things is almost always worse. There are so many sequels and remakes these days (especially in films too, not just games) that are just safe cash grabs, so FF7 remake taking a long time and not constantly overhyped by its own studio puts me slightly more on the optimistic side. | ||

A game that took too long and was actually amazing? (I don't know...most games fall within the 3-4 year dev cycle.) | ||

In the latest issue of weekly Famitsu magazine, Tetsuya Nomura said the development of Final Fantasy VII Remake is progressing smoothly, and the project is moving along further than originally expected after moving work from external to in-house development. In terms of when we can expect more news on the remake, he said they are currently trying to decide on when they can next present the information and asks fans to please wait with confidence. Nomura, then, made a brief mention in regarding in diving deeper into the scenario for Avalanche, the characters, and the atmosphere. Source | ||
