Final Fantasy VII story may not be final yet, no remake in the near future |
Ó
In a rather lengthy interview, Square Enix producers who crafted Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII had an interesting discussion now that they're able to just sit back and watch how fans react to a classic RPG's prequel on the Sony PlayStation Portable. What really caught our attention is the possibility of having another Final Fantasy VII title, which could easily be the remake we've all been clamoring for.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII executive producer Yoshinori Kitase and Producer Hideki Imaizumi sat down to talk about what went into developing the game.
When asked how the prequel joined Squeenix' pipeline years after its successor was launched, Imaizumi explained that Zack was important enough to deserve his share of the spotlight. "Nobody knows anything about him, so we felt there was a lot of potential there for storytelling – to flesh out his story," he said.
Here's the juicy part: Crisis Core could've been a full-blown next-gen offering on the PlayStation 3. Unfortunately, Sony's powerful machine wasn't available yet when Imaizumi and the crew decided to create a prequel, so they opted for the other new platform.
It would have been easy to bring the game to the PS2, said Imaizumi, before citing the excitement of working on a new platform instead of "doing the same thing that weÂ’ve done for years and years" as main reason why they went PSP.
On the other hand, Kitase's reply to the same question was that he yearned for the degree of completion and satisfaction by leading Final Fantasy VII's story to a full circle. The rest of what he said could only get us on our toes.
"Whether [Crisis Core] is the final product in the series IÂ’d rather not say yet. IÂ’d rather leave windows of opportunity open," Kitase teased. He also looked into the what's necessary for that FFVII remake, saying:
In order for a remake to work... the core members of the original team need to come together to work on it. This would include myself; Mr Nomura, the character designer; Mr Naora, the Art DirectorÂ… all these people would have to work on it together for it to really work.
However, this reunion may not happen soon. The core members, according to Kitase, are currently busy with bigger projects such as Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. There's a fat chance the wait to see these titles on shelves won't belong, as "a lot of these projects are going to take a while."

They've got the whole Genesis arc to do now. Or did everyone forget about his creepy French appearance carrying off Weiss at the end of Dirge of Cerberus?
there should be a remake
it was a great game and should comeback just try to keep things in the same ballpark
i wouldnt doubt seeing a whole compeliation set of all things ff7 like
1cd) the prelude of ff7 being crisis core-with a ps3 build(please include more of last order)
2cd) FF7 remake
3cd) Advent children-maby a game based of the movie
4th cd)bonus material
sound like a $150 special edition set to me
$70 For The Game regular
square is going to make over a millions of dollars and maby even a billion, with the ps3 tech it will be great please be formatted in 1080p
and dont release it to xbox and ruin it or make it take longer
build for ps3 and it will be done
yeah that's some smart thinking...i was thinking about the same idea for advent children just a while back and a remake. All these ideas are bad ass and I wish they would just remake the game cause ps3 sales would just go through the roof
Oh my god.
"lksdrunner", I cannot express how much I laughed at your comment..
Well I can.. It's about 18 lines of my short description fill.
"square is going to make over a million of dollars and maby even a billion" - Classic.
I've screenshotted that for many future lulz.
Then it's not going to happen.
Hironobu Sakaguchi is one of the key people in FFVII. Also, if you saw the making of Advent Children, Tetsuya Nomura said that Final Fantasy VII or any other past Final Fantasy projects are Pandora's Box to them.
Funniest thing all day :)
Because when i finish FF:IIV CC the lasssssssssssss st thing after all movies and every thing else is :
TO BE CONTINUE ON FINAL FANTASY IIV ON PS3
sooooooooooo i dont know about you ppl but to me it seems clearly that will be a part of the great series for the PS3
first thing....FF IIV???? lol second it never said on ps3.
not only that.... Nowhere there is the phrase "on PS3"....
@iksdrunner: an Advent Children game would be cool, but I don't think the story of the movie pulls that much out be a full game.
IIV as a roman numeral doesn't even exist..
I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV etc etc etc
after that I am going to watch FF7 Advent Children
and I hope thay will make sequel to FF7AC
:)
I just love FF7 the way it is
I'd second that!
is the best game that I have played on PSP (played all of em). But thinking about the fact that it may have been on PS3 sends shivers down my spine.
We need a re-make!
I would love to see a trilogy that starts at the end of everything and finishes the series by showing what happens after Dirge of Cerberus. The second part could be some kind of Crisis Core re-iteration for a more powerful console.
You can guess what hte third would be.
BTW: wasn't there already a FFVII title for PS3?
I think it was named "Endless Crisis: Final Fantasy VII" or something...
No....seriousley...no.
I would have slaughtered it a million times by now...and you would hear every fan of the PS3 use it against 360 fans lol.
well, I searched a bit and there was a rumor on the last Tokyo Game Show that this title will be released on PS3. Just search for "endless Crisis" here on QJ. It should be the second thing you find. So I was right....somehow....
are u serious?
70 for basically 4 games!
ahahaa
how are they gonna make millions selling 3 remakes for only 70 dollars...
i would totally understand an 180 dollars price tag for that set and the bonus material would be special edition. which u'd pay about 20-40 more...
this seriously was funny though
good work and making us all laugh
wow thats a really special price XD.
