Poor FFXIV

That right there is exactly the problem. Advent Children took them 5 years to make, and it wasn't even a game. Top notch CGI is not made overnight, and takes a lot of space. Add that to world design, character design, battle design, etc.

I would imagine they are working on solutions for faster output though. It's their bread and butter afterall.

CGI movies are harder to make than games. How long did it take them to make FFXIII? The game took about 24 hours to beat, FFVII took about 40-50.

Not that I agree with your stance, but if FFXIII took about 24 hours to beat, and 5 years to make, just how long do you think it would take to make a game that takes 40-50 hours to beat using the same or better quality of graphics and same technology? Add in another 5 or more hours of new content?

I think the development time for FFVII and FFXIII were the same since at the time both were using cutting edge graphics at the time of prodcution. My problem was this 24hour beat time is just due to no exploration at all of any kind (so what FF's didn't have exploration like WRPGs, FFXIII had none at all) until the last 20% of the game.

I'm talking just a straight up re-texture. I would pay $50 for a re-texture of FFVII. It would honestly take like a year or two to do a re-texture.

Make a re-textrue and add a few more stuff and i pay 50$ for sure. Make a CE version and i pay 80 for it

Gotta do a bit more than just retexturing, especially given how every FFVII game after FFVII moved into a different graphic direction.

Honestly would only want them to do a re-texture and possibly new voice-acting because I wouldn't want them to add anything new or change anything else because they might mess it up. (applies to all FFI-FFXI remakes I was talking about earlier)

Ah, that makes more sense.

However, I don't think it would sell well enough to be worth it. Too many people would want the whole nine yards.

Back to topic, I like XIII, didn't care for XII as much, and I agree previous ones were better. However, I still like FF games overall better than any others. The only games that rank up there with them for me is Kingdom Hearts, which is still SE. So, yes, I want to see more FF games in the future.
