No prob and welcome :). The thread was started by me so search under that. It's a sad thing what the movie did to square. But maybe now they'll be more serious about releasing better products. What I'm afraid of is that they'll be two afraid to expirement :(

They've been put on hold, DAMNIT!

yeah... i think they are starting with something new though... i was reading in an earlier issue of EGM that they are making a Final Fantasy TV series and it will be released in japan soon, if not already. i've also heard it might be on one of the games.

You mean Final Fantasy Unlimited? I have eps 1-7 of that. Haven't watched it yet tho.

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 15th, 2002, 02:08

i don't know, it might be Final Fantasy Unlimited, is FFU new? where'd you get it from? cause i'd love to see some of them. i do remember an old mini series of Final Fantasy, it was sort of following the story of FF5, kind of a few years later, it was allright, but it wasn't that exciting.

Kane

May 15th, 2002, 02:09

It's not following any of the game plots, that's for sure. It's still releasing eps. I think they are on 17 or there abouts

SWEET, thats awesome, are you downloading them or buying them?

Kane

May 15th, 2002, 02:11

They aren't yet in English for me to buy them. They are fansubs, another legal grey area, and as such will say no more :(

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 15th, 2002, 02:12

ahh yes, i understand, i've gotten a few series like that as well... i got mine off of morpheus before that went kerplunk

Sorry to say Carnage, that it is true. Square has shelved plans for the FF PS2 remakes. No word is given as to when or if they'll be worked on again.
sincerely,

Only FFII and FFVIII were going to reamade.

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 15th, 2002, 04:26

so they have actually been canned? i've heard so much that i don't know what to believe, all i can say is that i hope that sooner or later, they at least make a sequal to FFVII cause it was the best, the materia system and storyline were incredible

Cless

May 15th, 2002, 04:30

hahaha there are no true sequals to FF games they are different in the plot area.

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 15th, 2002, 04:34

Yeah, i know their are no actual sequals, but hey, i can dream can't i, and i've also heard about something coming out following FFX, it may be a movie or an addon to the game, but i hear that it helps explain what happened to Tidus at the end, even though everyone has their own opinions, i've also heard it might link FFX and FFXI together??? but who knows

Cless

May 15th, 2002, 04:52

Linking FFX and FFXI is close to impossible since FFXI is online. And an addon for BS2 games wouldn't work...i doubt any of this unless square is realy low on money.

YOu're right they are incompatible
they are set in different time and place
they is n o way that will happen
unless the writers make a wild story
abou interdimensional travel or maybe time travel
hehehehehehehe :) :)

Let's hope not.

Nameless

May 15th, 2002, 20:28

I heard about these semi-sequels as well but they're gonna happen for later FF games....I think it's after (or for) FFXII. The thing about FFX is in the international version. it's an extra DVD that has a few demos and, more importantly, a long fmv (or in-game...I don't remeber) that is set after the ending. The whole script is at www.rpgamer.com (only read if u've FINISHED FFX...I didn't)

I hope that helps :)

Okay, link fixed ;)

Ryos

May 15th, 2002, 20:31

That "semi-sequel" is Square's answer to its huge financial problems. I guess they finally figured out a sequel might be a way to reuse engines and make a buck or two on them. ;)

Kane

May 15th, 2002, 20:42

That page aint there.

Nameless

May 15th, 2002, 20:44

That's why I said they should be more serious about satisfying gamers and not just take the succes of a new FF for granted :)

Opps, my mistake :D

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 15th, 2002, 23:42

hehe, i'd love to see some sequals, or maybe just explanations to what happened at the end of many of the final fantasy games. like in 7, i mean, i wanna know what happened between cloud and tifa and the rest of them. and in X what happened to tidus???

Cless

May 16th, 2002, 04:51

I don't want sequels that means square is getting cheaper and lazyer.

thats not announced officialy right because of the loss in the company last year

I can't believe they killed the remakes...It would have been quite profitable for them to remake some of the older ones like CT, FF6, FF7. It's a whole new generation of gamers out there now; many who have never even heard of these. They could almost get as much sales from those as new games, especially because people like me would LOVE to see these great games with better graphics. (especially FF7-Sephiroth looks awesome there, he'd be even better with more detail!)

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 16th, 2002, 22:15

yeah... most everyone who ever played FF7 loved it, and if they did a remake with just voices and better graphics, and left the game alone, that would prolly be the biggest sale ever.... i know i'd dish out 50 for it easy... and it would also give people who've never played it another change to play it.

Nameless

May 17th, 2002, 01:10

Hmmm, from all the FF's I played (7,8,9,tactics) FFVII was a clear best...the closest one to perfection. I can't wait to try FFVI in the summer, I heard great things.
For all those who r still puzzled about FFVII's story, here's a little something to help u fully understand it...Beleave me, it's worth reading.

I loved FF7, it was a really good game. I don't really care if it comes out on PS2 cause I don't have one and won't get one. :p

Eddy

May 17th, 2002, 02:17

FF7 would be a real good remake, and imagine, orchestrated sound.. :emb:

Eddy

May 17th, 2002, 02:18

damn, that was one hell of a story, materia system was the best ever

I NEVER GOT TO PLAY FF3/6, or chrono trigger, cant wait till a emu is ported to ps2 or xbox for the snes, without limits, so i can enjoy the experience.

There are good snes emus for the comp.

There are several good snes emu which can run those game perfectly. Do some research and you can play that game in your pc perfectly :)

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 17th, 2002, 04:15

yeah, i like the ZSNES emulator myself, and yes the materia system was top notch above all other, or so i think. the only thing i didn't like was that the summons took SOO long, especially knights of the round, but it was cool to say the least, and the OMNISLASH, oh man talk about awesome

Yeah... Like the Snes 9.x (http://www.snes9x.com) and the ZSnes (http://www.zsnes.com)

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 17th, 2002, 04:25

Snes 9.x was good, but, it always performed an illegal error on my old computer, i think their was something screwy with it. but yeah, either one is good to download. my favorite SNES Final fantasy i think had to be 5, it was good. 6 was good once you got into it a little, bit, but it took a while for me to get into it.

Hi!

I found some information about FF7 wihch state that in the Japan version it was possible to bring back Aeris, and only because of financial problems it was eliminated from the US version. Ok. Unfortunately i cant read Japanse so i cant check this out.

But i saw that Squaresoft released an FF7 International version too... I dont know too much about this, maybe this is have the option to save Aeris? Can i get some information about this?

Btw, I heard SquareSoft is going to re-release FF7 (a limitted edition), maybe it will contain it? Somebody has any information?

Than you.

Booth, CT and FF6 available on PS (the difference between the snes FF6 and the ps version is some beautiful FMV), so you can play it well on you ePSXe ;)

REi_FoX

May 17th, 2002, 08:58

does the ps version has the same trick like casting vanish on the enmy even bosses then cast death on the enemy and it will die??

mcdouglas

May 17th, 2002, 09:35

Well, i dont know since i'm playing now with Legend of Legaia, and i just managed to get a hold of it... (btw, i got a Limited Edition, which was publised only in US and only 250 pieces of it... this is all i know about it so, if somebody has some other information about it dont hesitate to tell us)

Eddy

May 17th, 2002, 21:53

oh i know, znes 1.337 is by far the best released snes emu. I just would like it ported to a system like xbox or ps2 so i can play it on a tv, sorry i didnt specify

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 17th, 2002, 22:14

i dunno, having an emulator for an SNES or something like that on a system like XBOX or Gamecube, etc., just doesn't seem right. Emulating was made so you can play old games on your computer, i mean, if you wanna play it on a TV thats fine, but i mean, putting an emulator on a system just kinda takes the fun outta it for me? but i dunno...

Cless

May 17th, 2002, 22:58

not realy there are nes emus for the dc.

Xelcor

It would be awsome if they remade Final Fantasy VII with it completed(this game was never really finished).

Eddy

May 18th, 2002, 00:29

yup

Nameless

May 18th, 2002, 01:23

Ooooooh!!!! If what u're saying about FFVII (Jap) is true then I have a BONE to pick with Square. Making a great story confused, I can live....Making a very lousy port, I can forgive......but cutting parts out of one of my fav games, now that's war. The reason I'm trying to convince myself of learning Japanese is to get the games first (and have accses to a great deal of tech as well :))....but I always thought the English versions were fixed up from any problems....NOT BROKEN UP :dead: :mad: :mg: :shout: :smash: :rockets: :laser: :argue: :evil: :cry:

:innocent:

May 18th, 2002, 01:28

Ummm, how hard is it to learn Japanese anyway? :D

Hey, thanks :) I'm just trying to spread this around so people would understand the story better ;)

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 18th, 2002, 02:14

Japanese is extremely hard to learn, its not too hard to learn to speak it, but learning to right the characters that they right in is near impossible, i mean i can't do it, and there is no way i could ever understand it, but hey, thats just me

Xelcor

May 18th, 2002, 02:21

Yes it's true on Final Fantasy VII was never finished, they had to rush it at the end before they got it done completely. One proof of it is the glitch at where Aeris can be seen in the slum's church in Disc 2 or 3, you go up to her she vanishes. That part was supposed to be actually something to do with reviving her if I remember correctly. There's other parts in the game where you can sorta tell it wasn't completed as well.

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 18th, 2002, 02:26

in some ways, i wish you were right about the game not being finished, and in some ways i wish you weren't. i mean, i would be really p.o.'ed if the game weren't completely finished, but on the other hand, aeris dieing and not coming back really helped the plot some, i mean, it gave cloud an even bigger reason to make sephiroth pay. ya know?¿

Demigod

May 18th, 2002, 04:28

I disagree with everyone saying it wasn't finished. I thought it was. The vision of Aeris in the church is just an illusion, it disappears when you go near her. Besides, if you were able to revive her it wouldn't be as epic of a story. She was the tragic character, she was supposed to die, it was the only way the story makes sense.

FF7 doesn't conclude the way other games do, but it doesn't mean it's incomplete. To make it fully complete you'd have to start from when Jenova and/or the Ancients first came to the earth. The reason why the game is the way it is is because it's told from the perspective of Cloud.

In some ways it could be considered incomplete, since Cloud's story is just a sub-plot of the entire story. However, I believe Square intended it to be that way. There are many mysteries in the game but that's what makes it so great. The story's not so obvious, it stretches your imagination and makes you think.

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 18th, 2002, 05:15

I think i'm gonna have to agree with Demigod79 on this one.

Hanamichi

May 18th, 2002, 07:42

Me too. Never liked Aeris in my party anyway :p

Crzy_Tetsuo

May 18th, 2002, 15:38

i liked aeris in my party. i liked her limit breaks a lot, they saved me in many battles in the first cd. but i think her dieing was necessary to make the game what it was.

Yap, to learn speaking isn't too hard (though i'm saying it when i'm Hungaryan... we have the same grammar), I'm started to learn it two months ago, and its not that hard. Neither the writing, if you satisfied with the Romanjis (those are the same caracter as like you use), but if you want to learn the Kanjis that will be hard (well, one of my friend (hungarian too) learned it, and now translating the Hikaru No Go manga to english (you can check his work on mangaproject.cjb.net soon)). The secret to do it is the practice... if you dont use it, you will forget what the signs are meaning. You dont have to learn all of the signs... 40-50 almost enough to read a newspaper, or a manga... but if you want to read a book.. well thats mean hundreds of signs ;)

So, keep hard to learn it, i guess it worth it (think about the lot of games/anime/manga and of course the hentai-dojinshi ;))).
