New Final Fantasy In Development For The Playstation 3

[Fuzz]

Here is some promising news on what Square Enix has planned for Sony's next-generation console, Playstation 3. We can all expect something extraordinary, but can it possibly be Final Fantasy XIII?

Yoshinori Kitase, producer from Final Fantasy X, hints that it is a Final Fantasy game in the works but won't confirm if it's FFXIII.
During E3 a couple of weeks ago, Square Enix president Youichi Wata showed a short tech. demonstration of how Final Fantasy VII would look if it were remade for the PlayStation 3. He then made it very clear that a new version of the game isn't actually being developed for the console but assured the audience that another Final Fantasy game will be coming to the PlayStation 3.

In a recent featured interview with Final Fantasy X producer Yoshinori Kitase in Dengeki Playstation magazine, who is currently working on the new PS2's Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, one question that was asked was whether the PS3 game will be Final Fantasy XIII. As expected, Kitase declined to give an answer, saying, "I can only officially state that we are making a Final Fantasy for the PS3."

However, he also suggested that he is involved as a core staff in the game’s development, stating, "As a hint, one thing I can say is that the FFVII technical PS3 demo was supervised by me and created by Toriyama and his team staff. I'll leave it to you, but you can imagine that development of the new PS3 Final Fantasy is happening via a similar process." Motomu Toriyama was one of the directors that worked with Kitase on Final Fantasy X, and he was the main director for Final Fantasy X-2.

Kitase also revealed the Final Fantasy VII technical PS3 demo was actually a rush job, created in just a month and a half. "We created it right before E3. I didn't think we could do it at first, but I called Sugimoto (Koji Sugimoto, FFX’s main programmer), and we somehow made it. I believe that if we had more time, we could have made it in a higher quality. In that sense, that demo didn't really take much advantage of the PS3's hardware specs. But still, we were able to make something that looked that good."

When asked if there were any more Final Fantasy VII spin-offs planned in the future, Kitase laughed, commenting, "Well, we'll have to see. There are still characters that might be alive from the original FFVII."

They should consider a remake for FFVIII for the ps3, or even better, Xbox360. Xbox is already far better than it's competitors and the newer generation will probably follow suite.

New FF = Yes
Remake Old FF = No...especially on another system...(no point in remaking a game on systems with backward compatability and I like FF sticking to PS...FF:CC is different, it was something completely different that didn't involve saving the world in one way or another...)

You ARE aware that the PS3 is 3.5X more powerful then the XBox 360, right?

I'm not up on my console stat's, i'm jsut going by the current models. The xbox beats out the ps2 easily and I assume the next generation to be the same

Why can't people see the joy of remakes? I'd buy it! You'd all buy it!

They would be excellent. I for one would like to see FFIV in full 3d.

I think all Final Fantasies should be made for all the platforms.....I hate needing to buy a new platform after every few games that come out.

However...I wouldn't mind a FF7 and 8 re-make for the PS3......thing is I'm stuck with my stupid PS2 for another 3 years till I can afford my own PS3.....I don't go with anything else.

I think FFVII is such a good game that even if they remade it for the PS3 it would be really great and a FF8 remake too would be great

I only say yes to remakes if they add more gameplay, or more dungeons, something that differs from the OG. TDake FF Dawn of souls for example. It was better because they added more weapons, and new dungeons to both FFI and FFII. If you're gonna take the original script, characters, bosses, and sidequests, and just make the graphics a lot better, then I don't see the point. I'd rather just get nostalgic and play the OG FFVIII.

I figure that since they did the tech. trailer, they should just go all out and just FINISH what they started. >.>

I would defenitly buy a remake for the PS3 Model, as for when I don't know, I like many others can't afford the platforms when they are first reversed, hell I just bought myself a PS2 this past december, so I'm just enjoying the FFX and X-2 now, I won't be in any rush to get PS3 that's for sure lol.

Saw the tech demo it was the coolest. Cloud looked so cool but I would like to know how Tifa looks

I'd buy the remake of FinalFantasy VII when it comes out. But they should remake all the other finalfantasy games for ps3. it would be worth it so I hope they remake it but what about X and X-2 I mean the it great but should they really remake it

Xbox......kill......ITS NEVER GONNA BE BETTER THAN THE PS!!! DDDIIIIIEEEEEE!@@!

Okay I'm done now.
It's a little frustrating that Sony keeps pushing back dates for everything. But in the end, its always worth it.

I reckon a remake would kick ass. I totally wouldn't mind as long as its on PS I won't buy an X BOX never. Well unless aquare switch to it in which case i will throw a tantrum and then go ahead and buy one.
