Final Fantasy VII Rerelease thread

Quote
One year ago, news of a possible Steam release for Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII hit the web via RPGSite’s investigation into Steam registry files. Since then Square Enix has yet to announce anything official. Originally, the two games were ported from the PlayStation for the PC by Eidos, which would later become a part of Square Enix.

Today, Square Enix filed for domain “finalfantasyviipc.com” You can view the domain listing information here.

Maybe they will release a better version of the PC game.  They certainly won't be remaking VII with the current quick money spinning philosophy.

More likely they're just trying to replace the disc-based DRM with Steam-based DRM and failing at it (go figure). I doubt they're making any attempt at improving it.

Or, more prosaically, maybe they're just protecting themselves from domain squatters / people peddling pirate versions (like our old chum Kula_Wende).

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Square-Enix do this. Domain registrations don't always mean anything.

Hm, I don't know, I mean, I agree that they could have bought it just to own it and sit on it. However, that wouldn't explain why it has been updated various times since they purchased it, why they password protected it instead of just making it redirect to Square's site or just leaving it blank.

That is what he means.  Same as what has happened with the boom in noobs recently when the mods and this forum got reviewed.

Porting a game with such engines as FF7 or FF8 PC into the Source Engine would totally break it. They would need to rewrite it. Would they? No. They'd rather spend money on shitty sequels (which don't even take the fan's opinion on it) and throw away the good old REAL Final Fantasies.

After reading what you have said here about sequels in the Final Fantasy VII Compilation, Vgr, could you further comment as to why so many fans of these sequels express their contentment on deviant art's website?

Because the users of DeviantArt have always been a bunch of bland generic teenagers with bland generic teenaged opinions.

....you....I....Where did you get the impression that FF VII, FF VIII, and the Source Engine had absolutely ANYTHING to do with the games being on the Steam servers, and the domain name being registered.

Vgr isn't exactly known for being the brightest.  I'll give him credit though, he does try.

Hmm, thanks for quoting. I have him on my ignore list (as I do everywhere) so I couldn't see it. And I just don't get what he's saying. Well, I'll just disregard it.
