As a part of their anniversary feature on Final Fantasy VII, Famitsu got down in an interview with character designer designer Tetsuya Nomura.
Within the interview Nomura reveals that they really would like to work on a remake for Final Fantasy VII, however they don't plan on doing that any time soon. Instead he plans to focus on making newer titles, trying to make ones that apparently match or even top off Final Fantasy VII.
Nomura also stated that he believes that producer Yoshinori Kitase is the true successor to the Final Fantasy series.
So with this bit of disheartening news, do you think we'll ever get to see a remake of the esteemed game in our time? Do you agree with Nomura's opinion of focusing on creating newer titles? And would you think it's possible for any of these newer titles to match or even outmatch Final Fantasy VII? Be sure to state your thoughts and feelings below.
I'm almost certain everyone here enjoys the music of Final Fantasy – midi, synth, orchestrated or otherwise, so it's high time our favourite classics actually top the charts. The Classic FM Hall of Fame is taking votes for the best pieces of classical music and we're joining in by going with Aerith's Theme from Final Fantasy VII.
Aerith's (or Aeris) Theme is a beautifully orchestrated piece scored by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu and has seen many an arrangement in a number of releases, including the original FFVII soundtrack, Crisis Core, Advent Children, Reunion Tracks, FFVII Piano Collections and as an additional vocal arrangement in RIKKI's Suteki Da Ne single, titled Pure Heart ~ Aerith's Theme.
The Classic FM Hall of Fame runs annually and selects 300 of the greatest classical music scored by amazing composers, including scores from films, but to our knowledge have yet to feature any music from video games.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 is launching in Japan in about a month. Its US release will follow in late January. The fact that Final Fantasy has been topping the sales charts around the world for two decades makes it a rare and hallowed creation in the transitory medium of video gaming. But who's playing it these days? Are today's Final Fantasy fans the ones who started with the original game, or did those guys get tired of the whole thing along the way only to be replaced by youngsters who started playing more recently?
Following on from yesterday's North American-focussed Deal Alert, I decided that today we'd have one that was focussed more towards people in the UK.
In the future, the probably won't be the same deals, but since so many people seemed to be appreciating the Advent Children Complete package, I figured, hey, why not just do the same for the UK as it's still dirt cheap.
Amazon.co.uk are selling it for only £6.49, which is pretty cheap for a Blu-ray, and also an awesome deal if you haven't picked up this version of Advent Children yet!
Hey there bargain hunters! I know many of you may have already purchased this, but Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete is currently dirt cheap.
This is, as the name suggests, the ultimate edition of Advent Children. It's on Blu-ray, which means it's in full HD, but it also has some extended scenes so you get even more bang for your buck.
Amazon.com are currently selling it for 63 percent off, which means you can get it for only $9.99!!! - that's a serious saving. So if you haven't got it yet, what are you waiting for?
The Final Fantasy VII rumour mill has started up again, as an email from a "Square Enix" employee has been leaked to the general public. This time though, the rumour suggests it won't be for the PlayStation 3, it will be for the Sony NGP (called PSP2/Neo) in the email.
The email is written to employees at Square Enix Europe, apparently asking for linguist experts to help with the localisation. It suggests that the Final Fantasy VII remake will be titled, Final Fantasy VII: Enhanced Version.
It will feature new high-resolution graphics, with locations fully rendered in 3D. There will also be an endless world, with incredible looking cities. Characters will look like they do in Advent Children and the music will also be completely remastered, with a few new tracks being composed too.
Ok, so this is something new for Final Fantasy Union and hopefully you guys find it useful! I'm going to try and find nice deals for you guys on Amazon.com (and .co.uk), so you can get some new merchandise or even games.
It usually retails for $129.99, but Amazon.com are currently selling it for 62 percent off, so $49.99!! That's a huge saving, and there are only two left available - not surprising really.
If you want to check out the product, you can go here - happy shopping!
People have been banging on about a Final Fantasy VII remake for quite some time now, but according to some recent information from Japan (via Goo Ranking), Japanese gamers actually want a Final Fantasy VIII remake more.
When queried about which games they'd want remade with PlayStation 3 visuals, Final Fantasy VIII topped the list, with Final Fantasy VII second and Final Fantasy IX third.
Does this mean there are going to be loads of petitions for a Final Fantasy VIII remake too?
