Yeah but really I think 8 had the most closure in its ending. The ending was everyone happy and dancing and celebrating at some stupid Garden party. The games that have had sequels were probably intended to have sequels from the get go, at least thats what I always felt about X and X-2...regardless of how bad X-2 was. Not sure about VII (a CG movie counts I guess) but I don't think it was planned, like you said money talks and they basically realized there was an audience that would eat up anything related to FFVII.

This.

Times about 12,000.

I don't care about the remake or whatever, because I liked VII but I'd prefer they make a new game. On the other hand, I just finished XIII but in totality nothing about it other than the battle system really excited me.

God knows they're only in it to sell 15,000 yen necklaces now.

Sure as hell liked it more than FINAL Kristanallonis Chroniclino XXIV¾ Gaiden: International Edition.

Dude that game was groundbreaking; don't hate.

I'll state this forever, but 8 was pretty awesome til the end of disc 1.

...

FF7 Remake.. because I know all of you are waiting for this scene in full CG

Nomura says in new Famitsu that he is aware of the obsession of an FF7 remake however it is not in development.

They wouldn't let Cloud have more belts.

Yes, Dolby God that they are aware of the fact that people want something, maybe that means they'll make it!

Considering you can get the Lionheart at the end of the disc only to find out you still have to deal with the two random limit breaks in between the first and the ultimate.

All that work for nothing.

I'm jumping on the XenoGears bandwagon.

I paid for two discs, I want to PLAY on two discs--not that exposition crap I got.

If you want gameplay instead of being force-fed a story, why would you buy a JRPG in the first place?

Because I get to beat people up without having to go to jail as a result. :)

I think I have issues.

I think FFVII remake will come, eventually...
but only after SE give us remakes of FFV and FFVI, they being working the remakes in chronological order up to now (at least up to this point) so i wouldnt get all hyped up about FFVII remake until i get news about a FFVI remake someday(hopefuly this year).

At the risk of sounding pedantic, it's rare for jrpgs to let you indiscriminatly beat up people. Random monsters sure but if a shop keeper fucks you off, you pretty much have to live with it whereas since the days of Ultima VI and probably before, western style rpgs have often allowed you to kill literally everyone in the game.

After thinking about that some more, I don't know. I'd love some more Xenogears action but I feel only a mild makeover would do it justice. It doesn't need to be transitioned into amazing PS3/X360 graphics ala Final Fantasy XIII but rather just improvement on the visuals while keeping the same look. PSP would be good, depending on if it could fit on a UMD, or do they even use those anymore? I have an old psp but heard talk that the new ones are all digital.

As far as the Final Fantasy VII remake...I still maintain that it would cause way too much hype that it couldn't live up to. For some reason people credit it as the great role playing game of all time. While I think it is ok, and was probably the first GREAT rpg on the Playstation (and think about it, back then other consoles didn't give up much in terms of competition...unless you count the god awful Quest 64 or Shining Force III or rather 1/3 of Shining Force III). Pretty much everyone who plays RPGs has either played FFVII or have heard the great things about it (some are exaggerated...alot).

I'm probably the only person on Earth who really enjoyed Xenogears' second disc.

It's like a $40 book whose pages I can't turn back!

Nah, Krel. I'm with you on that one. I think Skills is too, actually.

No Krel, I actually enjoyed the second disc as well. I thought it was a great change of pace, from the first disc. As great as the game is, I have said it before that it doesn't need to be remade. It is a great game, as long as you have the patience for it.

Sign me up for the Liked Disc 2 Squad.

I would have liked the second disc if there was a text speed option.

tbh the only reason I didn't like Disc 2 was because the plot moves drastically but I"ll be damned if I remember anything that happened. Everybody turns into alien sludge and I think the world is plunged into a snowy disaster but none of this is reflected on the world map? It's a damn shame.

tbh a little bit of it is. I vaguely remember being able to fuck about around post-crash Solaris for all of the thirty seconds the second disc lets you onto the world map for. Also, I recall Deus taking up a sizeable chunk of one of the landmasses.

Maybe I'm completely wrong. I haven't played it in at least five years.

Yeah, you'll have to sign me up too. A remake of Xenogears would be great, but if it had to be a Final Fantasy title I'd hope for V and VI to be remade, THEN VII.

Cheers.
