It's a couple of months old, but Square had the movie removed quiet quickly.

I think it's a good idea to play as Zack. He mind didn't screwed as much nearing the end of the "5 years ago" story. Also Zack goes before Cloud joined shinra. More story.

 

I'm interested in this too.

Is that for PSP?

 

yeah it's for the PSP, reason the main reason I got the psp, that and daxtor, but daxtor is so far the only good game....sucks.

Advent Children.net - Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children this site keeps up to date with the game.

 

It looks like a cool game indeed. Maybe this will quench the FF7 fans

 

hopefully it will

 

It looks like a cool game indeed. Maybe this will quench the FF7 fans

or it will just milk more money from fanboys...

 

it's going to do that regardless. Square has a fan base, I hope they don't **** it up...well then again, they released some crap games already...they still have that same fan base.

 

Are they gonna release this on any other system? Like maybe PS2? I saw some screenshots at gamespot(My crappy connection can't play those videos) and somehow it resembled to Dirge of Cerberus... So they could do it...

 

what i really dislike about the ff series is that it has been hounded by too much "Only on" with only the psx versions POORLY ported to pc (yes, they ported ff9 too).

 

PSP only...

They didn't port ff9 to the PC?

 

hmm, i could have sworn they did. I did some more thorough searching. My bad for trusting ffshrine too quickly (or wherever i read it, some ff fan site with many things)

 

no they didn't ported FF9 did they?

I hope this game is not another dirge of cerberus...

 

FFonline.com did a April fools things on it, that's all I remember.

 

There are also other good games on the PSP, too. Just take a look around.
By the way... FF9 was indeed not ported to the PC... and FF8 and FF7 would only be good for specific computers with appropriate hardwares. I know this because I've tried both of them on two different computers... one is a Celeron 500Mhz with everything else onboard and one is the one in my siggy... results? The Celeron 500Mhz was the dream machine for the games.

 

for ff7 there was a celeron patch. You'll find an amazing truckload of patches and help on edios' support for ff7 (don't remember if it was on europe edios or edios.com, wasn't on both). I've yet to find a hardware setup i can't get ff7 pc port to work on, oh and many of the problems are solely for windows XP and with ACT (application compatability toolkit) with shrinker and win2k on you can get it running practically flawlessly on win2k.

 

dang...I'm getting this game

 

Strange? My 500Mhz Celeron worked too perfect for the game that it made me stare at how my Cel 4.80Ghz was running the same game. To be quite honest, I didn't even need a single patch for FF7 or FF8 when I played the games on my 500Mhz Cel. Just needed to install the game and... off we go! The music sounded better than the PS1 version, too... and I still can't re-create that audio experience with any of the new sound cards I have... even the recently bought Creative X-Fi. :/

 

there should be a "sound effect" button on your taskbar (lower right part). Try messing around with settings there. This is probably because the more expensive and fancy sound cards don't do a very great job at simulating instruments, just fine tuning them. FF7's music is .mid files which just instruct the simulation of instruments instead of true recordings like .wav.

Also, i think that celeron patch was ment for the a bit newer celerons. If the 500mhz and the 4.8ghz were so similar in technology that something as old as ff7 could treat them equally well, they'd both be 500mhz. Technologies change!

Although, i still have't found any newer-than-2000 computers/lappies that work with ff7 without any hassle.

 

wow... im so sick of ff7 by now... all these half asses sequel crap ideas are starting to get annoying.
next game will probably be about one of the shopkeepers and his tragic past...

 

Well, speaking not as a FF7-hater, but as a gamer, FF7 has been done to death. I thought they would stop it when snowboarding came out, but, no... looks like they learned their lesson with Dirge, but clearly not. What do you bet that this'n will suck, too? I'm in for $50

 

all these half asses sequel crap ideas are starting to get annoying.

Yeah... at least if they were well done.

 

next game will probably be about one of the shopkeepers and his tragic past...

Shhhh...don't give them more ideas.

 

well at least it looks like the cut-scenes are all fvm's (quality is impossible to see on that clip), although that might mean it's a very short game (or ten disks)

 

Those weren't FMVs, they were in game cutscenes. The only FMV I saw was (what I assume to be) the intro.

But I doubt it'll be that long of a game anyways, given both the genre and the platform.

 

And Square-Enix just didn't learn that the original FF7 was the good idea... not EVERYTHING that has FF7 in the name or on the surface. :/ I really hope this one won't drag the game's reputation any lower...
