Like, another port, really?
[QUOTE]During the PlayStation Experience keynote today, Square Enix came out to announce that Final Fantasy VII, one of the most critically acclaimed video games ever and a game that people have wanted to see remade for almost two decades, will be coming to the PlayStation 4. As a port.
Yep, this is the PC version of Final Fantasy VII. In all of its blocky '90s glory. Were you expecting something else?1
Above: the trailer for Final Fantasy VII PC->PS4. And here's the presentation from Final Fantasy producer Shinji Hashimoto, who set us all up for what might be the worst troll in recent video game history:[/QUOTE]

Guys, they've done it again! They have ported this game for the 50th time! And this makes me think, will there be a Final Fantasy VII remake? Probably not! Not until Square realizes they have not much money anymore, in other words: never.

FFS how many times can you port a game.
It's not like the game has aged well at all. Whenever I see it I just think about how boring watching blocky people walking on 2d pictures can be, and each year it just gets worse and worse. At least remake the game from scratch instead of a reboot of an ugly game. [sp]Or you know, get back to the games people haven't played 50 times over[/sp]

Holy shit. :v:[/QUOTE]
They not only pretty much shit on people's hopes by hyping shit up yet again and never learning from it, but they're taking the extraordinarily lazy route in the port: it's the PC version rather than the original PSX version. While this means character models and things you interact with will be in proper higher resolutions (albeit still lego people) alongside fonts, [i]the backgrounds are near-unchanged[/i].
It makes sense from a profit perspective; why waste time reworking the PS Classics emulators from the PS3 when you can just port this port of a port we already have because the PS4 architecture is identical to a PC? But the port was, and still is, rather shoddy for what few 'benefits' it gives. It'll upscale better than just playing the original on an HDTV, but games like this just aren't meant to keep getting ported over and over in their base state to higher resolutions without tweaks, alterations, and debatably mods to balance it out so it doesn't become ugly as sin.

More like the 100th.
Also, the version they're porting over has utterly horrid MIDI music
It was hilarious seeing this on live stream, there was huge cheering and clapping when he revealed then it went to a few claps and woo's when he started mentioning stuff as if no one gave a shit.

Actually, they patched the Steam version to use the PS1 tracks (it was actually a consumer who did it for them and not Squeenix themselves, not surprising) but they'll probably just use the un patched version for some reason.
They probably won't even port the Character Booster either.
if FF Type - 0 and FFXV are crap then SE may be in trouble if they keep pulling this crap.
What's wrong with this?
Real question here, I hear a lot about Final Fantasy and how Square Enix isn't handling it very well. There are so many games so I can't even keep track of what the complaints are about. Curious.

Most of the hate involving this is Square hyping things up yet again and then revealing it's just a port of a port of a port to the PS4. So people could buy the game yet again since PS Classics isn't on the PS4 due to a lack of backwards compatibility with that stuff. It's a half-assed means to get more money off of the same game yet again.

yea this if they just said FFVII ps1 is coming to PS4 everthing would be fine but not this whole " FFVII RETURNS " which is what pissed people off.
Squenix why build up hype if all you have is smoke and no substance.
The stream was hilarious because everyone was like "holy shit HD remake" and then it just showed a ported PC version.
Everyone was expecting something like Halo: Anniversary.
"EXPECTING A REMAKE??? THINK AGAIN YA KNOB HEAD! See, at Square HQ we just want $$$. YES THAT FFXV TRAILER MADE EVERYONE CREAM THEIR PANTIES, BUT THE REALITY IS MUCH MORE GRIM, THEY WONT SEE IT COMING, MWAHAHAHA!!!"
if FF:XV flop's they might need to remake FFVII in order to get there shit tougher.

Tough... Shit?
so half alseep but you get what I mean.? there going to have remake FFVII if FFXV flops because I believe people will be fed up at that point FFXIII was a flop.
Guys, it takes until from now to 2015 to port a old 1997 video game to a next gen console.
