Square Enix annouces a Final Fantasy HD remake

FF7 hate makes me

X is extremely easy to do an HD remake for. Like all the other HD remakes coming to the PS3. They're fully 3D games so all you have to do is increase the texture resolution and toss on a bit of AA and you get some great looking stuff.

This. FFX and other fully 3D games from last gen can just be ported directly with minor enhancements and they'll sell. PS1 games and older though would need to be completely rebuilt from scratch.

FF7 cost about $40mil back in the day to make, imagine how much a game of its scope would cost to make with the graphics of today.

so I imagine II will never see a remake of my loved one FF9 !!!
I'm not a fan of ff7 o_0

[Nephlabobo]

Bah, I was an un-fan of X. its right when I stopped liking the series.

Well I can understand why you didn't play XII, but X was a good game!

I might be mistaken, but HD Remakes/Remasters have to be bundled in North America (which is why Peace Walker is a stand alone PS3 game in Japan but part of the MGS Remasters in the west). Curious to see how they work that out, I bet we'll get X-2 along with it. Hopefully when this sells well we get XII as well, it gives them a reason to give us the IZJS version.

But then what will FF12 come packed with, Revenant Wings?

Would have much rather seen a remake of V, VI, VII, VIII, or IX, but I do like X (and X-2!) so it's not all bad.

They have some other PS2 games they could throw in if necessary. I wonder if they could get away with claiming the International version content is a second game, and offer the option to play the standard version or the International. In that case they wouldn't need to bundle a game with X either, not sure what it's superior version added though.

Heh, people love to jump on the FFVII hate bandwagon, just like anything else that's widely popular. X is a great game and all, loved the battle system, but VII truly deserves a full-fledged HD remake. I'd even prefer VIII over X. The thing is, though, it's much easier to turn a game from last gen into an HD game than one from the PSX era; I'm sure that has a lot to do with it, too.

a remake of a FF would surely cost a lot of money ; but for squarenix it's not a big deal !
however they concentrate on a lot of games at the same time : the kingdom heart serie grew up very fastly few years however FF type 0 ( or agito ) and FFversus 13 were put away for a long time , at the very beggining it was suposed to be released at the same time of ff13 and finnaly they had too the dissidia project

indeed I upgraded to Duck Fat Delight's title
