When I was younger, final fantasy VII was the game I REALLY wanted to be re-made for the GBA. But then the re-make of all the final fantasies for the GBA were closed, due to the DS' release. I enjoyed Final Fantasy IV. (More so on the DS than the GBA) I think that Final Fantasy VII would be a GREAT thing to put for the DS. (After versions of it were released on the PS3 and PSP). I don't use my DS lite or DSi as much. (Since I already beat KH 358/2 days and I just gotta new laptop). But if it was re-made for the DS -- I would be al over my DSi again.

i realy would like the remake 2 be for the psp (lets all wish that this dream only comes true)
and for playing now im realy waiting for kingdom bbs when will it be released in japan (dose anyone know??)so im playing persona on the psp its cool

[dapofola]

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep is coming out in january ^_^ I'm gonna play the Rom 24/7

It's already available for download in the PSN for the PSP, so why exactly should it be remade for the DS or DSi? In that sense we already have FF VII on the go, so I don't think a port to the DS is really necessary.

However, I do see your point in that it could be available to those who do not have a PSP, and the DS has sold a lot more units, so Square-Enix could cash in big-time with the DS owner market.

I don't see it happening though, but hey, I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time, that's for sure.

It's available for the PS3 actually. Crisis core is for the PSP. That game is fun. The best Square Enix game on the PSP. The DS is a huge money maker for Square Enix. After how well FF VII sold on the PC, and PSX

Should FF VII be re-made for the DS?

No, and it's quite obvious why. You want to see a game with capacity over 1,5 GB to be remade for a console that is far inferior to the one that FF VII was originally made. I would like to see that.

[Dodie16]

It's available for both. Here's a link explaining it:

They did it w/ final fantasy 6. Which in my opinion was the best GBA game made by Square Enix

That's good to know. Now I have reason to use the PSp again.

Yes, but if you've noticed FF VI was made for SNES a console inferior to DS and capacity of FF VI is maybe 6 MB which can be put on DS small size cartridge so it wasn't actually a problem to do that, wasn't it. But where are talking about FF VII here, so how do you actually have in mind to see that game for DS, with it staying in the original state of course.

A remake for VII?
Come on, cut some slack. They MIGHT do a remake, though.... But, isn't the story a little too large for a small chip to contain that much?

...That is, only unless if they only stick in Cloud's story as a mercenary, then you might screw what I said earlier. ^_^;

It's quite intresting why VII is far more popular than any other FF game. (Maybe because it involves dramatic deaths, lots of drama, slapping, squats, and cross-dressing?)

Besides VII, IV was the only one who got a sequel which was After Years. (I think, but never mind that.)

I'm still waiting for VI, though (even if the release date isn't there). They might make VII, but I guess it's hard to do so... I mean, they have "KH: Birth to Sleep", some Chocobo Series, Dragon Quest, and XIII. >a<;

I can't blame them for working THAT much. Looks like VII might not come this year, but I guess it will at least be confirmed next year, in like... Summer 2010? I don't know, I'm only guessing... I'm not even sure if they'll make a remake for VII.

Why my dear Meigumi... You should already realize why VII is far more popular that any other FF game....

It's all because of him.

Nah... I kid. I could go on about why it's more popular, but mainly it has to do with how much hype it recieved when it was first released, and how rabid the fans have become because of it. I am proud to say that I AM one of those rabid fans.

You forget X-2? I don't blame you... I try to forget that game too.

And about a full remake... SE would probably get an angry mob on thier hands if they decided to remake FF VII for the DS before they did one for the PS3. That's what most fans are clamoring for anyway.

Of course, who knows maybe SquareEnix really wants to butcher FF VII just to do a remake for DS . It's not just the story Megiumi, they would need to throw out much more if they want to make a remake for DS but even if they would manage to make something like that, it would be a FF VII you've never seen before a game that looks awful with downsized story and with no bonuses and sidequests whatsoever.

Let me give you an example, the first Spiderman game that was made for PS1 was later also made for N64, while on the PS1 the game has capacity of 600MB and it has all the extra content, sub-misions, video scenes, voice actors and much more the one on N64 with cartridge capacity of 32 or 64MB has almost nothing like the PS1 version, not just that, it was further decimated by removing some of the stages.

[Elyon Demidias]

Yeah, they should do an Remake for the DS.

That'll be sooooo neat, Hmmm... I wonder if sephy will be harder than normal and the KOTR not so freaking cheap.

Well, Final Fantasy VII for the PC had 30 save files; I don't see VII for the DS having more than 3

Wait, you quoted me just to say something dumb like that, did you actually read the post I wrote. Who cares about save files, that's the least of a problem SquareEnix would have to deal if they decided to port FF VII to DS.

We're talking about porting a game of 1,5 GB size from a console far superior than DS to a low size DS cartridge, how do you suppose that will happen without butchering FF VII? Do you see any major problems here, do you see the reason why it will never happen at least not on DS.

[Josh_R]

Personally I really don't want to see a VII remake, and I definately don't want to see one for the DS. With all the systems out now(PS3, 360, even the Wii) why the hell would someone want it for DS. Plus what Xantos is talking about with the memory size. PS1 was far superior to the Ds and a remake cannot possibly happen on a gaming system with such a low capacity, it would ruin the damn game....

[Fluffy]

One of the funniest threads I've probably seen in the history of a game's respective forum. +rep for you.

For obvious reasons, no. I really want to see a remake of FF7, but it should be for PS3 or something.

But the DS. And you even slipped the GBA in there. If I could rep you twice, I would.

I feel like I'm being mocked for wanting a remake of FF7 or something.

[Tallulah]

I own a game for the PSP called 'Sega Mega Drive Collection', and it has about 15 or so old Mega Drive games crammed onto one little disc, along with tips, videos etc., and I think it's really amazing that all the information can be stored, it would take up 15+ old carts. It's amazing how far we've come.

I can see why games such as Final Fantasy I-VI, therefore, can be ported to such platforms as DS, GBA and PSP, but the info on these games is much less than the 3-disc extravaganza of FF VII, so I can't see how that's going to work...

Perhaps as a download for PSP on the PSN? I think that's the closest you will get to a remake.

You got me. Tee heee.

Haha just kidding. He's not the only reason I like FF VII..

Hmm.. If they want to remake FF VII, I think it's best with PS3 (or maybe PS4?? Let's see the technology grows..), because I think fans would like to see their favorite-RPG-of-all-time with a detailed graphics (like in Advent Children), with the same gameplay.

For the DS? Hmm I doubt this. It's too small for a remake of FF VII...
