What in the actual fuck.
I honestly don't want it remade because I know they'll just fuck it up but come on, this is trash.
fuck Square Enix I want Square Soft back and fun RPG
Hey now, if you were a large, creatively bankrupt Japanese gaming company with leadership that relocated offices based on advice from a fortune teller, you'd do exactly the same thing.
A good way to appease fans would be to make a Final Fantasy 7 online game(In the same universe), well, when they finally decide to do another online FF title in the future. The costs would be cheaper and the day one sales if it turns out to be a good game would be phenomenal, and they would have monthly sub revenue.
I wouldn't mind an online title based in the FF7 universe personally.
There are MANY solution to appeasing the fans but the actual problem is that they don't have the technical know how to do it efficiently in a timely manner, especially when their resources(creative manpower) are already stretched thin as it is.
Also, online FF7 sounds like a terrible idea. They already have DQX and FFXIV under their belt with the latter being a risky project that almost sank them deep under. Creating a new online game would just spread their current subscribers which would have diminishing returns. Leave it to FF7 fans to be shortsighted.
I don't see how it would be a terrible idea personally. FF7 is that popular if they did a full online title and got half a million to a million subscribers paying say $10 a month ontop of the initial investment for the game, it would be a license to print money.
The idea sells itself.
5-10M$ a month? That might be okay for smaller games, but taking into account the costs of a typical FF game, they would have to keep their subscribers those for 1-2 years without loosing a single customer just to pay the bills... And that's withouth taking into account server manteinance, bandwith, mods & GMs, patching, preventing cheating, creating new content, etc...
So nope, the idea does not sell itself.
Even when you consider the costs of running a MMORPG, it wouldn't cost anywhere near $10 million a month(Taken from a 1 mill subscriber base for example) to run it. They would easily make millions in pure profit monthly and if FF11 subscriber numbers are to go by, they would stay at a healthy level for many years.
Wow ! Another mobile shit ! Such Waste ! Very predictable
Is it weird that I knew Square Enix would eventually create this game? The bike scene from the PS1 and movie were pretty popular; the only thing I'm surprised about is how late they decided to create this
It just, you know, isn't a RPG anymore. Also, F2P what?
Its still fiarly fucking impressive for a mobile game, and might just be a glimar of hope? (Don't read too much into it I would rather be blindly optimistic than a jaded cock with nothing but DIS PEAR.)

What do you know of DIS-PAIR?
wow I grinned pretty hard. I must've missed it that much XD
To be fair I spent an unhealthy amount of time on these minigames, so if it's any good it could be ok. Still sucks the actual game itself will probably never have a remake, though :L
Call me when they do the snowboarding game.
Call me when you can sex Aerith while snowboarding.
call me when cloud is available as humanboard. would like to try the pen*le brake.
Call me ;)
Maybe
call me when cloud is available as a humanboard with Aerith riding him
They have no idea what they're doing anymore. I'd almost expect the mountain climbing game first. ("Buy pocket warmers for $1.99 to recover faster?")
I'm actually prettty excited to see this game. I'm totally curious about the system they'd use to turn this into a pay-to-win game!
$200 for JUMP command
$150 for right slide comment
Yeah, i get what you mean.
and another $500 for alternate bike/sword appearance. mission accomplished.
Fuck you Square Enix, you've been complete and utter shit for the better part of the last decade and you are still continuing to go to shit instead of giving your fans what they want.
You will never see a single cent from me ever again and I know I'm not the only one.
SE doesnt give a shit about fans, they give a shit about money. they're a business just like any other and if they can get away with popping a turd in a box and calling it FF then they will.
But didn't you hear? An FF7 remake would be, "too much work". You can't honestly expect games now to have as much complexity as games made in the nineties, yeesh.
You know what? Good for you, Square Enix! You stick by your decision to not ride an old glory like some disgruntled veteran and instead make progress in what you want! Do the fans not want it? Who cares! They just want what they currently and are making to take flight!, so fuck the fans and their delusions of a remake in the wings! Is what your making at the moment good enough to make a fan want it? Probably no! So long as they don't do a complete remake, they will continue to fuck with thei fans using FF7 as the dildo, they don't care!
...whew. Felt good to get that rant out of my system. Night all.
Night!
Gotta say if Square even did release a full remake, the company would lose it's relevance and no one would care about them anymore(no moar monies fo them ^_^). Probably explains why they pull this stuff from time to time.
HORRIBLE quality! Totaly ass quality! Total TRASH!
FFVII fanboys crying, FFVII fanboys crying everywhere.
and for a reason. This is just bullshit.
I gave up on Square Enix a long time ago. The only thing I've seen slightly interesting is Kingdom Hearts franchise.
square enix drain of of cash in most of the mobile games, I downloaded many of them and usually free for trial and pay to continue -.- that's not a free game
how about this one...
This is what happens when the milk run dry; they squeeze out urine instead.
It's not even from the Advent Children age of FF7 anymore. They're scraping the very bottom of the barrel by going back to the PS1 FF7 age.
It is just a bike game, so it's unlikely that they'll mess this up.
oh but they will, sherlock
Really? It's F2P, which is code for "pay to win." The key to making a game in that model is to make people who don't pay suffer, but hopefully get hooked enough to pay to suffer less.
ff7 need to die its seriously not that great ..... ff 1-6 now those was ff games
Q: How do you profit the most from the final sale of a property?
A: Break it up and sell the pieces.
WOULD BANG DAT TIFA ALL NIGHT EVERY NIGHT
Final Fantasy G-What-a-surprise.
tifa, please wear proper T-shirt
Reminds me of BRS game on PSP.
Why not G-shock, make a line of FF VII watches and a little Cloud running in circle on his G-bike ? xD
I love that they find new ways to milk FF7 without actually remaking the game. Watching a bunch of autistic "gamers" rage puts a smile on my face.
If they can do this for a mobile and make it look good............WHY CAN'T THEY DO IT FOR THE WHOLE GAME.....ie. remake?
I wish they would make Flappy bird, with Tifa's tits. It would sell far better too.
3 difficulties:
Tifa = easy
Aerith = medium
Yuffie = hard
From that PV there's no originality. Many of the moves come straight from the movie.
