Now me, I'm certainly a fan. It's glorified fanfiction that takes several liberties with abilities and power levels, sure, but they make for some entertaining effects. My sole gripe is the DOA cast as the opposing group, simply because I refuse to acknowledge that anyone from that series outside of Ryu Hayabusa could give the magic using, monster summoning FF characters a hard time. An FF vs FF throwdown would make more sense and would definitely be better received.
Case in point. No one cheers for Hitomi, but the crowd goes nuts for Tifa. The author is clearly FF biased since they get the cooler moves.
Anyway, the videos were often criticized for featuring lots of brutal blows and hits, but no visible damage or blood. Well looks like he heard those complaints, as evidenced by his next video.
Now I certainly consider Tifa a badass, but I would think even one arrow would be enough to cause some serious problems. I'm pretty much mixed about this preview, I can't tell how much of it is cool and how much is stupid. Or maybe it's just all stupidly cool.
Again, I find it a stretch that the DOA guys would give the FF crew a hard time. Seeing Tifa NGII an army of ninjas leaves me...conflicted too. The blood effects are pretty silly too, but this is a preview video so I shouldn't bitch too much.
I'd like to have this guy contribute something to the comic, if I can. A CG render or something, I dunno.
"Sony has been quite the leaky ship, to say the least. Nevertheless, it's managed to keep what our source calls a "MEGATON ANNOUNCEMENT" (yes, they used all caps) under wraps to this point, something that's apparently so big that Sony personnel have been "agog" since hearing about it.
We've done our best to get more details, but all we've gotten is a, "Let's just say that Sony has been such a leaky ship that the fact that they've managed to keep this hidden blows my mind," type of response.
Sounds juicy. Our source remains tight-lipped, but we're guessing that this "megaton" will be making its debut at E3. We'll kick off speculation with, "Final Fantasy VII remake confirmed," and let you go from there."
Lets eliminate possible leaks like PSPGO, slim PS3, GT5 and GT PSP.
GO!
I give kudos to 1up's deliciously evil mind.
However, I don't consider it a stretch to believe that the day the remake is unveiled, Sony could be the ones to publicly announce it. If I recall, they were the ones who released the first details on MGS4.
Also, the next FM title is likely going to be called "Front Mission Evolved", as trademarked by Square.
I could definitely see Sony securing a FF7 remake as an exclusive. It'd make a ton of sense since that's really what made their PS1 back in the day, and for Square-Enix they're already only letting FFXIII on the PS3 in Japan anyway, and a lot of the FF7 fans are buying it for Advent Children complete, etc. But, I'd say it's highly highly unlikely to be announced or anything at this E3. There's probably not much at all done for it, and I doubt they'd announce anything like that with nothing to show. So, nah, as much as I'd like it won't happen.
I doubt they'd announce anything like that with nothing to show. So, nah, as much as I'd like it won't happen.

I hope I'm wrong...
Doesn't Square always announce stuff with nothing (or barely anything) to show? Didn't they do that with Crisis Core? And the XIII games have been short trailers for the longest time. If (and this is a big if) they are going to announce FF7 remake, I don't doubt that they could have a trailer ready pretty quickly. They could easily just polish up the tech demo trailer, or reuse Crisis Core FMV models to whip something up quick. God knows they've remade Midgar and all the characters and the opening train sequence like 4 times now.

Does it make too much sense, maybe? I mean, has no one at Sony considered the following scenario at all? I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but how much thought process would be required to decide something like:
"Oh sup, Square Enix. We hear there's a huge demand for an FFVII remake. Since we're desperate to secure all the exclusives we can in order to put the PS3 at the top, we'd like to fund the development of the remake. We would also like to assist you by providing our best resources, including our most advanced PS3 dev kits and CG workstations. This is a product that is sure to secure some big fat paychecks for everyone involved."
Lots of people are saying that Sony is devoid of common sense regarding decisions like this.

You guys need to browse through the Video game Sales thread sometime. Just looking at their PR, sony apparently doesn't have the brightest people working for them :P

The thing is that no matter how much money Sony would throw at Square-Enix, if the staff is busy, then the staff is busy. Nomura and Kitase and all them are working on FFXIII right now, so they may have had to wait. I think I saw in interviews them saying if it were to ever happen they'd want a lot of the original staff to be there to work on it.
A few days ago we broke the news regarding Square Enix’s E3 plans, which included the announcement of three all new games. At the time of writing we had been requested to not divulge the names or giveaway said titles, but we’ve just received new information about one of those three games that comes with no such restrictions. So here we go…
Contrary to what we were originally told, there will be a Square Enix press conference after all, at 11a.m on the Wednesday of the show. This will be a portal for selected media to learn more about one of Square Enix’s currently unannounced games, which we can reveal is an MMO codenamed Rapture, and set for release on PS3 and PC. The game is expected to be unveiled at the Sony press conference on the Tuesday.
While the PC and Xbox 360 have shared a strong software relationship over the last three years, the PC and PS3 have a more open rapport when it comes to online interactivity between the software and the gamers. It seems bizarre given Microsoft’s networking know-how, but the heavy restrictions it puts in place with the way developers can manipulate and engage their audience through Xbox Live makes it difficult for some games to make the most of their potential. Also worthy of note is the fact that the PS3 is free to play online, and it is more flexible in the headsets, keyboards and mice that can be used with it than the Xbox 360.
A classic precedent for all this is Epic Games’ decision to launch Unreal Tournament III on PS3 and PC well ahead of Xbox 360, claiming that Sony’s console better facilitated what they wanted to achieve in access and distribution of user-created Mods.
All that said and done, MMOs have still struggled to find the success on consoles that they have on PCs: even Square Enix own Final Fantasy XI failed to impress. It should be noted, however, that the company has used the term MMO, not MMORPG, which means it could be something totally unexpected.
Depending how this looks, it probably would fit the bill as a PS3 "megaton", but I'll personally be disappointed if it isn't set in an FF world again. Fanboyism is the reason I tolerated most of FFXI's frustrating aspects. I can't see myself putting the same commitment to a world that isn't as interesting.
Personally, I'll still keep hoping the big VII is the announcement, because as I mentioned many times in the past, it's only a matter of time. We just have no idea when it'll be announced.
No, no, no. This isn't happening. I started FF7 again because I knew I wouldn't see the remake for another half decade...
Actually, I'm hopeful, and if they did comfirm that, it would be ATLEAST a year and a half before it touched my hands, and that way it would still be fresh in my mind and I could appropriately compare.
Speaking of which, just hit Wutai up after getting the little bronco. Damn if the 5 dudes in the tower with Yuffie alone doesn't suck. I only dies twice which is amazing for how not over leveled I feel. I think this is the first time through where I have done no grinding whatsoever. Everyone sans cloud is 29-31, Cloud is 37 I want to say.

Since playing FFXI is a lot like being in Hell where you can ride a bird every now and then, I'm not exactly aflutter at the idea of another Square MMO.

That's where the money's at, I suppose. Personally I can't stand MMO's but I can't blame companies for making them, either.
EDIT: I'm still at a loss as to why everyone's so dead certain that a FF7 remake is inevitable. I mean, I'd like to see it as much as anybody but it just doesn't seem that likely to me. Have they actually said they wanted to remake 7?
Well, frothing consumer demand has to count for something. I'd love a remake, but at the very least they could put the original up on PSN. It'd sell a ton and can't be all that hard, what on earth are they waiting for?
Edit: Come to think of it, there was a PC version, so an XBLA release might not be entirely out of the question too.
I'm still at a loss as to why everyone's so dead certain that a FF7 remake is inevitable.
They've got a solid history of remakes. 1-4 have all gotten total facelifts (1 & 2 several times), 5 and 6 have seen numerous rereleases, some of the SaGa games are seeing remakes, even the first Mana title got remade.
It's only a matter of time. I'd say that it is "inevitable."
I'm not sure customer demand counts for all that much to Square. Nobody was particularly interested in a Final Fantasy movie and for some reason they decided they needed to do that. Meanwhile people have been screaming for a new Chrono game for the better part of a decade and they seem completely uninterested in doing that.
Granted, they have done lots of remakes recently, so we may get a remake eventually, but I'm not holding my breath for anything coming along in the next few years. Hell, FFIV came out nearly 20 years ago, as hard as that is to believe...

It's on the Japanese PSN, like so many other games. Quite frankly, I can't see the demand for a remake being significantly higher than a new FF, and I'm sure the main people involved would much rather work on new things than a remake. Personally I'm hoping for a PSP remake. Then there would be hope for a PSP remake of 8 and 9 as well. But above all, a PSP director's cut remake of Xenogears is what I want most. It won't happen, but I can dream.
Also, all the remakes have been on handhelds. So a PS3/console remake would be a completely new thing and not just going with the trend.

Perhaps the megaton is a new Chrono, riding on the heels of the port.
I'm a bad person for hoping for 7 remake OR this. I'm just trying to concieve something thats "How the hell did they manage to keep this under wraps for this long!" as in something that if even the slightest bit of material were released, it would spoil the big suprise, which makes me think it deals with an existing property.

They obviously need to start (and finish!) FF V DS and FF VI DS before they do FF VII DS.
The DS is pretty much my favorite system ever, but I almost want to say I would rather have a VI remake on another system. It's my favorite in the series by far, and I'd love to see what they could do with a bit more power then the DS has.
I know what I want the FFVI remake to be like, but I know I'll never get it. I want the game's visual aspects outsourced to Vanillaware, where they'll do super nice HD, animated conversions of Amano's artwork for all the monsters and characters and completely redraw the world map from the ground up. I then want the whole sound track orchestrated, some tracks rearranged if Uematsu sees fit.
I can see and hear it in my head, and it's beautiful.

Also entirely unrealistic.
Especially since if I'm not mistaken, nomura was the creature designer back then. Amano did mostly character work.
I know Nomura did a few of the characters (well, Shadow anyway, I can't remember any others) but I don't know who did the creatures. Ultros certainly looks like a Amano design, as do many others.

He also did Setzer.
Edgar and Sabin were created by Soryu Saga, of Xenogears/Xenosaga fame.

Yeah I actually liked the graphic redesign for IV, but I would *prefer* super shiny 2D goodness.
@Professor Snugglesworth: SETZER! That was the other one, thank you. Also I had no idea about Edgar and Sabin, interesting little tidbit (makes sense though, that guy seems to fucking LOVE ponytails on dudes).

Saga's a woman. Also she reportedly was the one who designed Andy and Terry Bogard from King of Fighters/Fatal Fury. Seems she has a thing for blonde brothers. She's a great character designer, it's just too bad she's also out of her freaking mind.
Reportedly the FFXIII trailer included with AC:C is over 7 minutes long. Not sure if this will be all new footage, or just a run-through of the demo. I'm hoping it's the former.

According to her blog, she was so depressed that she was taken out of Xenosaga's development team (supposedly she was difficult to work with, but that part's just fan speculation) that she attempted to kill herself. She tried hanging but failed, and mentioned how embarrassing it was to tell neighbors that her swollen blood clot on her eye was the result of an accident.
Speculation says the above story was a false attempt for attention, but either way she's clearly not alright upstairs. I guess it's somewhat expected from the person who created Albedo and his backstory. I do wish one day she gets another shot at making an RPG, since the characters under her wing all happen to be really awesome (Albedo, Jr, Ziggy, Bart, Citan, Edgar, Sabin, etc). She just probably needs to be on some medication during that time.

I basically never ran out of Cures. Ever. And I spammed it every round.

Go away Play Arts figures, 4 copies of FF7, 2 copies of Advent Children and a copy of Crisis Core.
Shut up. I'm not listening.
It's not going to happen, there won't be a remake shut up

Well, hmm. I guess he did the actual in-game graphics for them. I have no idea.

He also did Setzer.
Edgar and Sabin were created by Soryu Saga, of Xenogears/Xenosaga fame.

I know it looks bad in screenshots, but actually playing FF III/IV DS shows how charming those designs really are.
@Professor Snugglesworth: SETZER! That was the other one, thank you. Also I had no idea about Edgar and Sabin, interesting little tidbit (makes sense though, that guy seems to fucking LOVE ponytails on dudes).
Barely, it would take a few blood sacrifices and an containment field 4 miles across. But it can be done.
Now why in the world don't they put FF4: After on DSi Ware I'll never know.
Saga's a woman. Also she reportedly was the one who designed Andy and Terry Bogard from King of Fighters/Fatal Fury. Seems she has a thing for blonde brothers. She's a great character designer, it's just too bad she's also out of her freaking mind.
Reportedly the FFXIII trailer included with AC:C is over 7 minutes long. Not sure if this will be all new footage, or just a run-through of the demo. I'm hoping it's the former.

Hm? What's the story on this?
Details?

Speculation says the above story was a false attempt for attention, but either way she's clearly not alright upstairs. I guess it's somewhat expected from the person who created Albedo and his backstory. I do wish one day she gets another shot at making an RPG, since the characters under her wing all happen to be really awesome (Albedo, Jr, Ziggy, Bart, Citan, Edgar, Sabin, etc). She just probably needs to be on some medication during that time.
