I was watching that awesome Advent Children trailer and I thought to myself, what if this whole FFVII Compilation is just a big marketing campaign for a FFVII remake for the PS3? God knows it would sell a lot of PS3s and, even though it was supposedly just a tech demo, maybe that FFVII trailer at E3 was a hint of things to come.

Or maybe not. :kekeke:

Yes remake FFVII that would rock, I like the gun blade that Sephr's clone has short version of squall's Gun blade. I have always wanted to see a RPG Battle take place on screen in real time.

SquareEnix flat out said that there ISN'T gonna be a remake of FFVII on the PS3 because you will be able to play the original Playstation version on the new console, just like on the PS2.

.... but i still have hopes that they will release a remake on the PSP since you can't play FFVII on it .... I can dream can't I?

I think you misunderstood him.

Its a technical demonstration of the PS3.

Basically the demo for FFVII on PS3 was just to show the graphical power of the PS3. Those graphics weren't an FMV, thats how gameplay would look like on the PS3. And Since its only a tech Demo, Its not going to be coming out on PS3. Although I do think its a stupid idea not to do it seeing as they would make a ton of money off of it. But oh well.

I hope you guys that have seen all these tech demos for PS3 realize that completed games won't look anything near as good as that. That's just like the tech demo of Final Fantasy VIII they had for PS2. There still isn't a game that pushes graphics like that for PS2. So in turn that was not showing what games will look like on PS3.

Well... the purpose of Tech Demos isnt to show how the games look but to show how powerful the system is... and if the companies really wanted to they could make games just like that. They would just need alot of patience and money....

And after seeing some things from E3... I really do think that the graphics are going to be similar to that. Some game graphics blew me away.

Both from PS3 and Xbox360...

SquareEnix said that the FFVII tech demo was rushed to get it finished by E3. They said they could've created something better on PS3 hardware had they been given more time. I could find a newslink if you don't believe me. Who knows, the games might even look better than those tech demos. As always, only time will tell.

Gameplay still > graphics though, so it's doesn't really matter to me. I still prefer good sprites over 3D any day of the week.

is it me.. or am i the only one that still digs the chibi style that FF7 had??

I'm with you man. I'm tired of this realistic BS that Square has been doing since FFVIII.

Not chibi like the overworld FFVII characters, but the normal looking characters that appeared during some cutscenes or during battle. If they do remake FFVII, they'd better use the style from the original not the FFVIII/FFX crap that makes everybody look the same.

No but you need to burn on the 6th level of hell for saying that. And they were only chibi for world/town map and some crap FMV's.

New advent children trailer. This one shows a lot more motorcycle scenes(which I love) and some special attacks. adventchildren forums. The main page also has downloads to new Dirge of Cereberus and Crisis Core(PSP) content. Have fun!

Before I call it a night, a brief Crisis Core trailer:

No actual gameplay footage, only animated Cloud and Sephiroth cutscenes, but it's a first. Here's hoping for actual sprites in the game to fit the anime style. Image

They'd better not fuck up Advent Children. I've been counting minutes waiting for it's release when I first heard about it.
If they fuck it up I'll take my Buster Sword from the closet and massacre the entire Square crew :twisted:

They better not remake ffvii. While the game was good, it's time to move on to new stuff. Unless they were having money trouble and need to fall back on something guaranteed to boost sales. This is all speculation, though.

Just saw the FFVII remake preview. The pose was a bit too much... It feels like they're going to fuck this remake up.

It's not a remake, it's just a tech demo to showcase the PS3's graphics capabilities. Whether they plan on doing a remake down the line is another matter entirely.

Besides, I don't know how you can assume that they'd fuck up a possible remake just because of the pose in the end. If anything, I'd say that the Advent Children characters designs is what I find most unappealing about the demo.

The pose seems to foreshadow a lot of fanservice, etc. I'm afraid they will overdo it (if they go through with a remake.) It just felt a bit much is all.

Wait a second now, I'm not sure if we're on the same page here. You're talking about the opening scene of FFVII rendered with PS3 graphics, right? About Cloud's pose at the end? How the hell is that fanservice?
