Final Fantasy 7-2!!!? Thank you Lord!

CrOnO_LiNk · 11-06-2002, 10:09 PM

QUITER is reporting that Yoshinore Kitase, Final Fantasy series producer, mentioned in the newest issue of Famitsu that Square is considering creating a sequel to Final Fantasy VII.

This comes soon after the announcement that the company was, for the first time, breaking tradition and creating a direct continuation to Final Fantasy X. In the interview, Kitase claims that he, and many others inside Square have had a desire to create FFVII - 2 for a while, but the pressure to make a good game to appease all the game's fans is a lot to consider. Tetsuya Nomura, character designer for Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and X, as well as director of Kingdom Hearts, also has a strong will to continue the FFVII's mythos.

As of now, there has been no official announcement that the game is even in the planning stages; instead, this story is just the rambling of FF series producer, Kitase. We'll keep you posted on the story, though, so check back.

I hope it's better than FF7...

I hope it's true and I hope they don't royally screw up a character's image like Yuna in FFX-2...

Yeah, we don't want to see Aeris turn into a slut and go after Sephiroth... Or would we?

I hope Cloud looks like what he looks like in Kingdom Hearts.

What's next, FF8-2??

Seriously, I loved FF7 but what's up with all these sequels? I'd rather them spend the development money on new games like a new Chrono for FF12.

DarkMaster · 11-07-2002, 03:14 PM

hey, i'm all for a sequel to FF7 (as long as its done right) but i'd rather see other games like a new Chrono game or FF12 or a new RPG series all together from Square.

Bond · 11-07-2002, 05:16 PM

This would be very nice... I might even buy a PS2 if the game is great.

Shiz · 11-07-2002, 05:24 PM

it sounds kind of neat but....id MUCH rather have a re-done ff7 with new features and graphics etc... implemented.

BlueFire · 11-07-2002, 05:30 PM

I don't know if I would...

FF7 wasn't that great

Shiz · 11-07-2002, 06:14 PM

I've played and beaten it. I don't think it was OMFG TEH BEST!

By the way, where are you stuck?

HOW would they even make a sequel to FFVII without completely screwing up the entire story/ending?

Aeries is dead, Everyone at Shinra is dead, Sephiroth is "dead" (unless he somehow survived) and Midgar is now just a peaceful forest (well it's probably still a hole in the ground if it takes place right after after the ending)

I'd rather have it they remade the game completely with next-generation graphics (ala Resident Evil)

Look at FFX-2. Tidus is kinda dead, Seymour is dead, Jecht and Auron are dead, Zanarkand is just a dream, and everything is messed up in the world of FFX.... But still, Square still manages to make things interesting. I am sure they will do something to make things better.

Also, I agree with Crono... I'd rather have a new Chrono game or just FFXII. I just hope FFVII-2 will be the last FF sequel.

Bluefire, FFVII is special. It's my favorite RPG of all time and my second favorite game of all time.

BlueFire · 11-07-2002, 09:20 PM

I don't have high expectations for FFX-2 either. They are totally going to **** up that story... I just have a feeling of that.

Tidus in a cage being held. Yuna dresses up like a slut so she won't be recognized as the Summoner who brought the eternal calm. But seriously...

Tidus = Dead

Now she gets a sphere of him in a cage? tsk..

EDIT: FF7-2 won't make much sense....they're going to screw that story too, I bet...if this is even real.

Think about it.

Square left us with a question in the ending

Was Holy summoned fully? Some say yes, some say no. No one knows. If he was summoned and whatever, then he would've gone ahead and kill everyone but Nanaki (Red XIII). So really, how would a sequel make sense?

Then we go to the part where Holy wasn't summoned fully, and he didn't kill off all the humans.

Then what can they really do with a story that has been finished?

Aeris is dead. She's one of the lifestream. Sephiroth died... i think.
Barret becomes one of the Village People. Tifa is screwed by Cloud (that was expected). Nanaki outlives everyone... Vincent goes into his coffin, and Yuffie gets back into the whoring business...

I don't see how they can make a sequel out off FF7

But then again, we'll see... i guess

If Holy was fully summoned then maybe the only returning character would be Nanaki?

And if it wasn't I'm sure they could come up with something... wether it has to do mainly with a certain character or just the world in general...

but I dunno

I think think it could be neat as long as Cloud doesn't wear a speedo and a snorkle and Barret doesn't turn into a white, scrawny insurance salesman...

Even if there are a couple things that don't seem to fit right in the plot, as long as they come up with something that works, fine with me

But most huge RPG fans or FF nuts or whatever would probably care more than me...
