    does anyone know where to find details on the 4 new espers? I know what they are, but I want to know

    -what they do when you summon 'em
    -what stats they boost
    -what spells they teach

    I know I could just wait for it to come out, but 3 days is like 3 years in fanboy time

    Found this fan-made box-art, and I have to say it's the best FF box-art I've ever seen.

    This is what EB's showing, I dunno if they're usually reliable on this, though?

    Yeah, that's all of the promotional art we've received, and I'm guessing it's the official boxart.

    Alright, time to come clean.

    I've played Final Fantasy VI once. I never got past Ultros, and simply didn't pick it back up. I've never beaten it, one of the few Final Fantasy games I haven't finished. Actually, it's the only Final Fantasy I haven't spent time on, essentially.

    I'm really excited about this release, though. I'll finally be able to dedicate the time to this, and finally see what the hype has been about for all of these years. :^:

    That's unbelievably hot. If there's any FF that deserves a color portrait, it's VI.

    But the alternate cover is still very nice(and I bet that's the one we're getting).

    Oh yeah, fan art. :? Well, it's still awesome.

    I don't know if this has been answered or dwelled upon, but why aren't they bringing something like this to the DS? FFIII was successful on DS, why not do it with VI?

    I'd love to see FFVI done in that style, they could even reuse the 3d character models from the tech demo they made pre-ff7 :twisted:

    Doubtful though. Although you never know, maybe in 5 years. :(

    I think it's strange how they haven't made an FFVII remake yet. That thing would print so much money.

    Yeah, I think if FFVII were to come out on the PSP, I would try to get a 2nd hand PSP, or something.

    However, word is on 1UP, that FFVII won't be getting remade for the PSP. So, who knows? :?

    Blocking out FFVIII would be a crime against humanity. I don't care what anyone (everyone, actually) says, that's my favorite FF right there. And YES, I've played all of them now.

    Anywho, the more I think about this game, the more excited I get. I remember a time when everyone thought "Man, wouldn't it be awesome if the FF games could go portable?". And now, here we are, every pre-PS Final Fantasy now playable anywhere. What an awesome time we live in.

    Sorry bout that, it was a type. I didnt realize I omitted FFVIII from there especially considering that its my favorite of the three PS games. FFVII is one of my least liked FF games, closely followed by FFX and X-2. My favorite would have to be FFVI which has me really excited for its re-release this week! :D

    Depends on PS3 sales, really. We all know how they pretty much dumped the PSP after it wasn't keeping up. Don't remember the exact quote, but somebody at SquareEnix said something like "We want to release games to the biggest console audience" or something.

    I doubt we'll be seeing a FFVII remake anytime soon. I think they're way to busy on XIII, anyway.

    Square likely won't do it this generation, anyway. Everyone said they were going to do it on the PS2, never happened.

    Hopefully they stop beating this game to death with spin-offs soon.

    Probobly because it fits the GBA's capabilities just fine and they don't want to release it just for DS users when there are more GBA users out there (I assume anyway). And it's not like they have to redo any of the graphics or sound for it to still look/sound great. Though I admit the sound quality has dropped slightly, it's still not a big deal for me.

    Well seeing as Sony are going to start releasing ps1 games for the ps3 so that you can jigg them over to your psp to play, I doubt ff7 is really going to get ignored (ppl have already done it less than legally I am told) so what does square have to gain by remaking the game for either platform? they can just say "hey! what do you mean remake? its already available on those systems, only $10 for it! bargain!"

    no updated graphics, same shoddy pal conversion/translation and unfinished side quests, but hey, its ff7!

    no square. no. I won't shell out for that.

    Well, since Sony is rolling out PS1 games on the PS3 to play on your PSP (decipher that lineage, eh?), I'd be really surprised if they relinquish control of the coveted FF7, polarizing FF8 and underappreciated FF9. (Strictly IMO.) Whatever system gets an FF7 remake will essentially win whatever category it sits in, and S-E knows this.

    Anyway, my body aches for this game. Literally, my yearning is creating sores and lesions on my body. I am going to buy this and spend all of my time at work playing this on my Micro in my cube.
