A new Final Fantasy exclusive for the Ps3 ? [Rumor] The Return of Shin-Ra Soon

[inuyashalover21]

I dont trust 1up.com but if it is true I will get it. Hope KH X is still PS3 exclusive.

a remake would be cool, but id take a new game over a remake any day.

Watch it'll be some announcement like Dirge of Cerberus 2, and watch as the entire world doesn't care.

The statement from Hashimoto didn't say that this is good news for Sony, all he said is that it'll be a "shocking announcement" on August 2nd or 3rd. It could just be as easily a shocking pro-Microsoft announcement.

Makes it doubtful it has anything to do with FFXIII vs. either, considering I doubt there's anything they could post about that that would be shocking, unless it was like "It's done, and coming out tomorrow!"

While it could be, no spinoff is going to "swing the pendulum back to the PS3".

I really don't understand the hype for a FF7 remake...

Sure, it still is one of the biggest games, but come on... IT IS OLD!

I would see no reason it short of containing EVERY FF game made...

I dont think any game has been bigger yet (RPG wise). I would love to stick 100 hours into that puppy again

It was the best FF story by far, gritty and not as "PC" as the rest. Love it.

I wouldn't mind a remake of Final Fantasy VII (Not the Dirge of whatever) even though I never finished it. The PS One version always froze on me so I gave up on it. A remake for the PS3 would be dramatically better.

Final Fantasy 7 is the best-selling non-Pokemon RPG in existence by over 3 million copies sold. It's huge, on a scale of no other RPG (again, other than Pokemon games) ever.

To put it into perspective FF7 sold roughly twice what FF12 did.

Did anyone like Final Fantasy 12??

I kinda liked it, but I am not a fan of having a fixed amount of places to visit.
I hated the whole "One Path only" of Final Fantasy X and 12. I liked flying my airship around a "world" and having a little bit of freedom like in past Final Fantasies!

because there is people like me that FF7 was so popular i never even heard of it because that came out back in the days when i would check for games of only what i am interested in but never even heard of FF until X came out and that was only because i borrowed it from a friend and didn't even know what a rpg was(too young to know what it is)

XII isn't point A to point B unless you literally plow plot to plot. FF games have been all about the sidequests since 7 (earlier to lesser extents) and those will take you all the hell over the world. Being able to explore is pointless if there is no chance you'll actually find something.

I think you need to reread the article. Supposedly the Square-Enix reps said that the FF13 announcement "swung the ball" to MS and this new announcement would swing it back to Sony.

Part of Microsoft's bribe was probably forcing Square not to mention the big pro-Playstation announcement at E3 to help overshadow what little they had to show and make the gaming public think they won E3 and the console war with the announcement

I hope Shin-Ra comes back.

FF12 isn't realtime, the only difference between it and previous Final Fantasy battle systems is that you can move your characters around while battling. That's it.

It's still ATB (Active Time Battle) Even FFXIII is still ATB

And if you dont like the ATB system used in JRPGs go play an American RPG or Zelda or something else. ATB will always be a part of JRPGs

I actually like ATB, and was a bit disappointed with the combat system in Crisis Core. To me it just felt weird, but I guess that's a result of growing up on turn-based RPGs.

I like the idea of taking turns, from a strategic sense, and it allows me to accidentally wander away from my controller while playing, which is why in Chrono Trigger I avoided the active combat option.

The bold is the most important part

Shane states that he has been speaking to representatives from Square Enix, who have told him that "Final Fantasy XIII on 360 announcement swung the ball towards Microsoft. At Square Enix's Japan event in 2 weeks, they will swing the ball back towards Sony".

They have not publicly said its pro-Sony (Or MS). Be cautious.

The statement from Hashimoto has been all over the web.

This is the one and only site which claims that it will swing the pendulum back to Sony (or other sites referencing this one).

Excuse me if I'm not going to just believe 1up's claims given Square's recent posture.
