Square Enix’s New President Plans To Review The Entire Company - ARR incert future?

Good for you. But being the "better seller in Japan", for however long DWVII was, doesn't really mean squat. My point is, worldwide, FFVII was the better seller, and still IS today. AND it has a much stronger fanbase. AND it has reached cult status among fans. These are things DWVII has not accomplished. Therefore, remaking it is not as big a risk factor as remaking FFVII.



Offer oftentimes comes without demand. Especially in the game industry. A remake of FFX would probably go over well with people who play the game. But it has nowhere near received the demand of a remake of FFVII, if it even received demand at all. Like I said, offer sometimes comes without demand. At the same time, demand sometimes doesn't get an offer. Just because you want a company to do something doesn't mean it's in the best interest of the company to do it.



Oh god... (facepalm)

Well, I am in fault here. After all, you can't read sarcasm on the internet, so yes, it did go over your head. Let me be more frank, then. Ahem:

Customers have wanted a remake of FFVII for YEARS. It has been on forum after forum, wish list after wish list. However, SquareEnix knows full well that it is an unnecessary risk to take since

1. The original in it's current form still sells well, and

2. Messing with the original could bring a backlash that Squeenix can't recover from.

That's why it likely won't happen. Ever. If it was going to, it would have been done by now. They've made remakes of other games, they won't remake FFVII. They are smart enough to not listen to you and countless other fans crying about this issue. The wishes of the fanboy/fangirl are not necessarily the best thing for the company. And this is a good example of that. You want to play FFVII? Here you go...

You're welcome.

P.S.: If you're waiting to play this:



...it's not going to happen. That was just a tech demo. It's time to move on.

sorry I hate to point this out but you do realize that anything besides the playstation network sale of FFVII or the pc download for the game make square enix absolutely no money at all right? Ebay they get shit and amazon they get shit ie anything sold on amazon now and ebay are preowned games and make no profit for se

Especially since this is a post about the ins and outs on how it would be a big risk for se to MAKE money on a remake of of a game that a lot of people want... And you're telling him and others that if they want the game so bad to purchase it from someone preowned.... Anyone else see the irony in it?
