I was never obsessed with FF7 like a lot of people and never cared to get an HD remake ever and I like playing stuff on 3DS on the exercise bike and during business trips.

Although to be fair, if they were giving FF6 this treatment I would probably be insanely hype for this like you guys are. That will never happen though because Japan hates FF6.

I got a PSP once to play roms and PS1 games. The thumbstick broke. Haven't cared to get another. Never getting a vita. If I can't play FF7 on the go, it's not the end of the world.

Yoichi Wada is a fan of Yoko Taro's games. A lot of people think of Wada as some suit who just cared about money but he enjoyed playing a variety of different games from different developers.

In an old interview, he said he funded Nier even though he knew it would be a cult hit at best. Even though he is no longer CEO, Wada has a close relationship with CEO Matsuda since the two of them go way back.

Yeah, as the first 3D FF game, it's definitely the most in need of a graphical update. VIII and IX still look alright, anything on the PS2 wouldn't look too different with an HD version, and all the pixelly games still look pretty great, especially the SNES games.

Sure, and I think it's ok to not be excited for the FF7 Remake. Now people will stop asking, it will... maybe? come out, and will piss off all of the same people who wanted it so badly because it wasn't exactly how they envisioned it.

FF7's score did a pretty great job at setting the mood and tone throughout the game. Just compare that to later games where the score very often doesn't reflect what is actually happening in the narrative. FF12 has you running around the world, rushing to stop an ambitious mass murderer from obtaining massive political power and committing various genocides, and the game is set mostly to...ambient background music, meant to facilitate grinding. FF13 had characters on the run from an oppressive government that kills its own citizens, and as you're escaping them you hear cheery high tempo music etc.

I don't think so. It's been many years since I've played the game, but I don't recall tracks like this playing when Mako reactors were being bombed or any of the other more dramatic parts:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjJvyi23xeU

In FF13 this plays while Vanille and Sazh are running away from the game's equivalents to Nazis. That isn't to say the track itself is poor, but the usage of it certainly is.

I guess those fears SE were going to do a Konami and go all-in on mobile development can be put to rest; they're put out a really solid, confident presentation of games. WoFF even looks like it's tailor made to get mobile playing casuals interested in the core console games

Yoko Taro got what he deserves at last.

This is the best thing.

Quoting his Wikipedia page to celebrate.

quote:

During his youth, he experienced an incident that would influence his later work as a scenario writer: while in a shopping street with a group of friends, one of them who was walking along a high building roof slipped and died from the fall. The scene as Yoko remembered it was initially "horrifying", but in hindsight he saw humorous elements as well.
