FFXIV STILL being credited for SE's Financial Success!!!!

Cool, hopefully this surpasses FFVII so we can get that remake going. Lol.

Technically XI already has, VII will never be remade thankfully lol, it was already an unfinished mess in the first place. There's a reason they're remaking every FF but the ones people actually want, i.e proper VI remake, proper V remake, IX remake (or just a damn PC port already) and I suppose VII.

It's too bad you don't really know what you're talking about. But anyway, it was an aside that was directed at that old quote from SE's president where he said he wouldn't remake FFVII unless they made a FF that surpassed it.

Unfortunately for you Square stated many times how rushed and unfinished FFVII was to the point they have a lot of dummied out content and were worried if they removed any debug data it would render the game unplayable, so while it may be the first and only FF game you've ever played (assumptions are fun), anyone who's followed Square can obviously see how they're dancing around remaking certain games and rather do a 'port with slightly enhanced graphics, fixed bugs or additional minor content."

Yes, which FFXI has already technically surpassed, which means they should have been worked on a FFVII remake.

It doesn't matter how and/or why you spin the numbers, it's in the black. That means we'll see more content, more vanities, more everything.

The only thing that will change is the "nothing to do" conversation will progress to the "I came back because xyz" conversation.

As long as SE largely ignores most of the MMO "consumptionists" aka "hoppers" and caters to the players looking for an MMO in a FF setting, I'll be happy.

Congrats SE, maybe you kick *** and take names until the sea swallows all!

This is basically a rehashed version of your other post (irony is also fun) except now with more assumptions and pulling of the "veteran FF player" card (I guess that's still a thing?). I give up, you're clearly not getting it.

He meant a Final Fantasy that is the next revolutionary step for the series like FFVII did, not how much money they made off of it. FFXI was a good game, but it wasn't revolutionary at all, neither is FFXIV.

The one problem I have with Wada's argument is that FFVII is a game that was simply there at the right place at the right time. It brought a fresh theme and setting for the FF series that players have never done before, and did it in 3D graphics that at the time were gorgeous looking. FFVII itself pushed the popularity of RPG's worldwide that was once a more niche audience. This is something that would be extremely hard to replicate again no matter how good future Final Fantasy's are. So in a sense it feels like to me a full scale remake wouldn't happen.

Know what I say? Good. Would I love a remake of FFVII for PS4? Of course, I loved the game. However, I don't think it is practical at all. You would have to get a major development team to start almost everything from scratch and would take a few years of production when we should instead have those same people focusing on more important things like future Final Fantasy games. As much as I would like a blast from the past, I rather have a new game and story that wow'ed me like FFVII did. I don't want to see the future get put on hold just to satisfy people's nostalgia.

However, I certainly wouldn't mind if they did a small scale remake on 3DS/Vita. Just take the already made game, update the character sprites so they don't look like blocks, clean up the game a tad, and update the UI. Its a win-win product and would make a ton of money off of it.

I started playing at 1.0 and fell in love, because of the heavy crafting focus. The economy going with that was a whole other we have to date. But the masses didn't like it. OK

I too play ARR and I like it with some exceptions. The state of crafting for example is lackluster , and be aware that the system is absolutly acceptable to date. It is tuned for the masses and i can make that compromiss. But I can't stand that there obviousily is nothing planed for the future. Furniture and fluff won't do for me. I want to have a competable crafting for the 8 classe we have ingame.

With those arguments in mind I reduced my sub from 3 month plan and 8 chars per server to 1 month and 1 char.
