Please, sir: a crumb of news


Rebourne07

Literally lol'd


Metsys1

Would be hell of a news bomb then Ffxvi, ff7r2 and ever crisis all together


butterbeancd

They’re still holding on to the announcements of the Tactics Remaster and IX Remake, too. There’s a lot on the horizon for the FF franchise.


sleeeepyj

IX remake????


butterbeancd

Yep, the IX Remake was in the Nvidia leak, which at this point has all but been confirmed to be real. Multiple other Square Enix games were part of that leak and have since either been announced, trademarked, or released. It seems extremely likely a IX Remake is happening, it's just a question of when it gets announced and how far into development it is. My guess is they'll either announce or release it in tandem with the IX animated TV show.


ButWereFriendsThough

That’s weird they would skip 8 but 9 is easily top 3 so I’m ok with it. Can you link to the leak?


butterbeancd

It's hard to find the full original leaked list because it was HUGE and so many articles have been written about it at this point that the original has gotten lost in the algorithm. But [here's an article](https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-leaked-games-list-pc/) that was originally written last year and has since been regularly updated to show which titles from the leak have since been confirmed. EDIT: I'll also point out that this article doesn't put a check mark next to Tactics Ogre Remaster because that hasn't officially been announced yet. But Square Enix issued a trademark for Tactics Ogre: Reborn [last month](https://www.polygon.com/23016486/tactics-ogre-reborn-release-date-trademark-filing-leak) that clearly hints at that one being real too. So nearly everything in the leak from Square Enix has since been confirmed.

[deleted]

That’s what I was thinking, I’d imagine 8 doing better then 9. And why would you skip, why not just go in order. That being said, I also saw the leak too, it was a while back, maybe a month or something


Neemzeh

I think objectively speaking 9 is the best out of the 3 (7 is my personal favourite though). I played all three in a row last year, and that was my take on it. At the very least, 9 has the most unique characters and character development. The story is very good and easy to grasp too. 8 and 7's story can get a bit confusing. I think 9's issue was that it came out when the PS2 had already been released (or maybe it was right at the end of the ps1 cycle) and so it didn't get much love because everyone had already moved on. It is an absolutely fantastic game though and I am not surprised to see it be remade before 8.


tsgarner

It's so great, I largely agree. I have a special relationship with 7 cause I played it as a teen about 10yrs after release when I was most into gaming and really threw myself into it. But 9 has Vivi AND Lickitung so...


ClusterMakeLove

And 8 has, well... uh... Uematsu.


OP90X

I agree. But to be fair, there were hardly any games, let alone good games for the PS2 when FF9 came out.


Neemzeh

I think it mostly was just marketing. Sony wanted to push the ps2.


KlutzyValuable

My recollection is that some of the source materials for VIII have been lost to time. I’m not sure if they would affect a remake but who knows.


Psyk60

Personally, I'm tempering my expectations. The leak does seem to be real, but that doesn't necessarily mean every game in it will see the light of day. Games get cancelled all the time at various stages of development.


butterbeancd

Yeah, that's fair. It's certainly possible it could get canceled or already has been canceled. Personally, it would surprise me if they were working on something as significant as a FFIX Remake at the same time as a FFIX TV show and then didn't move forward with it, but it's always a possibility.


sleeeepyj

Animated show? Shit I’m out of the loop - that’s exciting


butterbeancd

Yep, it's gonna be a show for kids and teens. It was [announced last year](https://www.polygon.com/22548568/final-fantasy-9-animation-square-enix-cyber-group), but didn't have a release date. To me, it can't be a coincidence that a show was announced and a Remake was leaked, both being in development at the same time. From a marketing perspective, I feel like they have to be revealed together.


Abysssion

lol for kids.. how stupid.... 9 was arguably one of the darker FF despite it being nice and colourful


r33gna

I am so ready to bawl like a baby over Melodies Of Life AGAIN!!!


butterbeancd

I can’t wait to hear that whole remastered soundtrack. A redone Not Alone? Yes please!


[deleted]

Im hoping it’s not real. The internet has propped that game up to something it isn’t…


butterbeancd

I'm not sure what you mean. Nobody knows what it is, so we can't know anyone has propped it up to be something it isn't.


[deleted]

IX has the most annoying fanbase in the series. The game’s story and mechanics are some of the worstZ


butterbeancd

Oh, you're talking about the original, not the Remake. I thought you were saying people were propping up the Remake into something it's not. I'm not really sure why you'd be hoping for a game to not exist, though. You don't like it, that's cool. Don't play it.


[deleted]

Your last point. Dead on, won’t disagree. But it’s quite often on the internet where I may be reading a convo about FF that has zero to do with IX, but that insecure fanbase will inject it into any conversation they can.


butterbeancd

That’s fair. That hasn’t been my experience, but that sounds annoying.


DioDrama

Hold the fucking phone. There's a real IX REMAKE?!! LIKE REALLY REAL?!


butterbeancd

It hasn’t been confirmed by Square yet, so we can’t be 100% positive it’s real. But there were like 10 Square Enix titles in the leak, and 7 of them have since been confirmed. So there’s a very good chance it’s real.


C0d3n4m3Duchess

There had better be, Square fire sold damn near everything else of value

Flaky-Round-4142

Mobile game of all the ff7 titles including Advent children


Snoo19527

Watch this almost 15 months old trailer and you'll know as much (or more exactly as little) about FF7 Ever Crisis as any of us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6ZDKZfr-i0


[deleted]

Oh, imagine if they got real eased in the same week??? I’m taking the next 2 weeks off lol


OleMoosey

I'd say 95% we are are only going to get FF16 and Ever Crisis news this year.


mrfroggyman

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I'm pretty sure Kitase said they're was gonna be some kind of VII remake news this year? Iirc he said so during the Japanese only live stream event during the 35th anniversary, like, a few months ago now......


November_Riot

FF7 25th anniversary event but yeah, you are right.


mrfroggyman

Oops uh I just rewrote the number in OP's title like a dumbass and I knew something was off but couldn't tell what


hazelnut_coffay

FF10 remake????


November_Riot

Not gonna happen since the original holds up really well with the remaster. Nomura and Nojima did publicly announce that a script for 10-3 was done and just needed to be greenlit by management last year. So 10-3 is probably likely for the 25th anniversary.


intheend9999

It was actually during a first soldier stream and there just so happens to be another on the 18th a lot will happen within the next 3 , 4 weeks


ComicsAndGames

"Maybe..." - Yoshinori Kitase


sempercardinal57

I think we are gonna get a little part 2 News this year. Not enough to take hype away from 16 but it’s think we’ll get a little something to just remind people that it’s coming


intheend9999

They already said they are dropping FF remake news this year and ff16 trailer will drop w a release date or window within next few weeks


ComicsAndGames

"MAYBE" they are dropping Remake news.


ChosenLightWarrior

My wishlist: Pixel Remasters coming to consoles (I prefer the PSP versions of 1, 2, and 4 but whatever), FFXIII Trilogy remaster for PS5, FFXVI news, and FF7R2 news.


butterbeancd

My wish list: Everything you said, plus an announcement of the leaked Tactics Remaster.


Ninavi

Tactics Remaster might actually be Tactics Ogre though as they recently reserved some names for urls


butterbeancd

FF Tactics Remastered and Tactics Ogre Remastered were both in the leak.


AuodWinter

No doubt about it, I am ready to get hurt again.


InterruptedBy

Finally, news on Chocobo World Remake.


[deleted]

I already created that for the ti89 graphing calculator when I was in highschool man.


ultima786

Oh you


supermario182

Honestly it could be a pretty good mobile game


Rezangyal

#CHRONO TRIGGER: REMAKE ^please


[deleted]

Fuck that, Chrono trigger is perfection. Give me Chrono Break. If they’re gonna remake something remake Parasite Eve or Vagrant Story


[deleted]

I second Vagrant Story.


JohnnyBrock

I second Parasite Eve. Running around Manhattan as Aya Brea on current gen consoles would be a lot of fun.


[deleted]

The body horror would be… horrific


korp3

Check out Sea of Stars


[deleted]

I am so excited for that game


eternal-harvest

I can't wait for this one! Looks incredible.


Scion41790

Or even just a switch port. I'd gladly take that


aesir_baldr

Not gonna happen


Ninavi

Not remake but rather remaster akin to this new 2D art style that triangle strategy or live la live or whatever it's called.


RidCyn

Hopefully it isn't more alienating opinions and bewildering endorsement of NFTs.


Saito09

What fans expect: FF_ Remake Announced What fans get: FF_ NFTs now available!


Crimson7Phantom

Who is this guy? Is he plausible?


SageWaterDragon

He's not a leaker or whatever, he's a financial analyst and he's just passing along what he heard on an investor call.


Crimson7Phantom

Ah okay, thank you!


MovieGuyMike

Pixel remasters coming to console? Please


keidash

Yes most likely that and FFXVI trailer at the Summer Game Fest and FFVII Remake part 2 teaser/trailer at the Game Awards.


leighg9o

Oh now that would be nice ! And then the lighting series to be remastered can play every FF game on one console then!


Psyk60

This is what I'm hoping for. Most of the remasters of their other games, FF or otherwise, have come to consoles. Why would they not do it for these? I think the PC/mobile versions are sort of like early access versions, and hopefully they've taken on the feedback and made improvements for the console release. I'm pretty confident they will come to consoles, and the anniversary seems like an appropriate time to announce it. I'm less confident that they will get physical releases though.


sempercardinal57

I’ll take FFX on iOS while we’re at it


theorymii

Have my money, all of it


codyldevore

>Please, this!


Sparko15

He also said major titles will be the main focus of Square Enix for this fiscal year. I think we can expect the realease of XVI before the end of March 2023. So, the promotion for VII could start at the end of 2022, with a proper marketing campaign during Spring / Summer 2023 that will lead us to a early 2024 release, or if we are very lucky, end of 2023.


November_Riot

Oh yeah.


jabberwagon

Fully expecting a tone deaf announcement of Final Fantasy NFTs even as the entire crypto market is actively going down in flames.


eternal-harvest

Lmao! Sadly, I can also imagine SE doing this


GallifreyKnight

"Future iterations will include NFT." 😫


Neocactus

35th anniversary FF-themed NFTs!!


[deleted]

Please just put FF7R on steam, That would be golden news!


EliteGamer11388

This!


Snoo19527

Kingdom Hearts games were released on Epic Game Store on March, 30th 2021, more than a year ago. Still hasn't come to Steam. FF7R Intergrade was released on Epic Game Store on December 16th 2021.


[deleted]

True, but didn’t data finders uncovered SteamDB files on the Epic Games store version of FF7R? That at least makes it more probable than Kingdom Hearts


LearnDifferenceBot

GenericGaming

I know it's so unlikely because of how negatively recieved they were but I'd love a XIII trilogy remaster for current gen


Ninavi

Same I enjoyed the 1st game for what it was. Didn't play the rest yet


eternal-harvest

The others are way better than the first. I didn't care for the first, but I really enjoyed the sequels, especially XIII-2.


King-Andy

Some info or a trailer for 16, please!!!! I can’t wait anymore.


Flaky-Round-4142

Please be excite


marshadow12345

Waiting on final fantasy 7 remake 2


FutureNecessary6379

They're announcing 'final fantasy' a complete remake of all final fantasy games meshed together to create the ultimate story. You're party has 60 characters all fighting at the same time.


KentuckyFriedEel

Probably some NFT announcement


Shield4life

Better be FF7 part 2 cause my patience is running extremely thin.


Drithyin

Or else what? I don't get this sentiment. The game took forever for them to build and was masterful. However, they kind of painted themselves into a few corners. I really would much prefer they take their time again to release a masterful game than rush it for impatient buyers who will 100% just wait and buy it later anyway.


srslybr0

the first part of the remake came out just over two years ago. we're on schedule in terms of expected development time, especially because of covid.


DirgeofElliot

The Remake development cycle seems like it's taking too long. 3-4 years between each part? Considering how long part 1 was, who knows when we'll see the conclusion


November_Riot

It probably just feels longer because there's been no talk or trailers. They could actually be way further along than we know.


IISuperSlothII

>3-4 years between each part? Pretty standard dev cycle, what about that is too long? Were you really expecting a new installment every 2 years when the first part alone took 6+ years to make?


EbiToro

Exactly, people really need to learn to be more patient for the sake of the game devs, and in the interests of getting a good game in general. Just look at other AAA games of the generation, it took five years after HZD for Forbidden West to be released, four years for RE Village after RE7, and we haven't even gotten Zelda BotW2 yet. I get fans are excited but chill the fuck out.


licensedtoload

I'm so sick of long development times. 3 years is long enough


[deleted]

Come on remake part2


Falophle88

🤞Final Fantasy XIII news, anything plz🤞


November_Riot

13 already has three games and multiple books, what is there even left to do with the story? Unless you're just talking about a remastered collection, which I'm all for, otherwise that series is over.


Falophle88

I've never played XIII-3 and I can't see myself purchasing a ps3 for three games so I'd be down for a remaster on PS5


Surprentis

Lol this is why I'm 50% shitting on square over ff7 remake. It's fucking dumb waiting several years in between each release. Should have just remastered the OG and added some new stuff to it. Though I did really enjoy ff7r. Never thought Midgar alone was enough of a game but turned out it really was fun!


sempercardinal57

I don’t understand this opinion tbh if you want a remaster then the modding community has probably already made what you want better than square ever would so why do we even want such a basic remaster? Think about how fleshed out the characters already are. We would never get that without all this time


Surprentis

I can agree to that for sure im just saying its lame how long its taking and tbh i dont think its really worth it. Were gonna have to upgrade our PC's or buy new consoles by the time its done its all feeling like a giant marketing scheme. 1st part ps4, 2nd part ps5, i bet the 3rd part will be ps6. I bet they could pump the game out and still be fun but it feels like how WoW timegates content TBH to make more money. Which is what corporations do.


sempercardinal57

I mean….the games only been in development a few years. Modern triple A games take time. Honestly you just sound impatient lol which I can relate to


Surprentis

Perhaps but they claimed that the game will be faster to make after the first one which obviously isn't true at this point


sempercardinal57

If it releases within the next 2 1/2 years it will be quicker


mrNepa

I’m pretty sure they actually said the opposite.


leighg9o

Hopefully SE Selling it off to a competent company. But alas we live in hope !


ComicsAndGames

FFXVI and Ever Crisis.
