The Compilation is not over!

March 22, 2008, 6:04 AM

By most Final Fantasy fans, the compilation of Final Fantasy VII is percieved to be the release of the games "Before Crisis", "Dirge Of Cereberus", "Dirge Of Cereberus Lost Episodes", "Crisis Core", the films "Advent Children" and "Lost Order" and the short stories "On a Way To a Smile", and "The Maiden Who Walks The World". Some fans also speculate and hope that it would only make sense that after the release of the lastest title "Crisis Core", what would only be left is a remake of the original Final Fantasy VII. However, This is not the case. A Square Enix Press Conference claims that the "Compilation" is planned to go on untill the 20th anniversary of FF7 which is in 2017, nearly a decade away.

It is definately a safe assumption that different viewpoints and opinions about this matter is going to be vast, the biggest two arguments being on one side "SE is whoring out something so dear to so many hearts for another Decade!", and on the other "more Final Fantasy VII for another decade!".

My opinion on this matter is pretty optimistic, I personally don't mind more Final Fantasy VII content. It to me is sort of like your Favourite band, releasing EPs revolved around the same era as one of your favourite albums from them. I Just enjoy completing the puzzle that is the FF7 Story by getting different viewpoints displayed in each release. The news also gives me hope that if they havent started a remake yet then they still have 10 years to make a good one, even if they dont start in the next 4 years (2012), They still have 5 years to make a really good game. Also imagine the technological advancements that will be made in 10 years.

Your Thoughts Men and Women??

This isn't really new, they stated something like this back in 06 how they intended to keep it going for another decade or so. Buncha greedy, money-grubbing whores if you ask me. People ARE eventually going to get sick of seeing Cloud's piss-yellow spikey hair and seeing Sephiroth walk through fire for the millionth time, even if they do like the characters. SE needs to stop taking the easy way out for money with Nomura and VII and put some damn effort into making quality games.

Bah, Im with VR on this one, theres gunna be nothing left to whore out soon. What they gunna do? Make a Sims Version? An arcade game for the Gold Saucer? HOW are they not running out of ideas?

Bunch of lazy bigots. They really should be concentrating on making new games instead of milking a single title dry. It's just ridiculous! At least they're not whoring out FFX... then I'd have a petition to start if you know what I mean.

Whatever. I just won't buy any of this new FF7 crap. The original and Advent Children are enough for me.

I can see them making a Sims version. They could have you raise eco-terrorists in Midgar. They might make a Gold Saucer game for the Wii with all the minigames and such, like boxing and snowboarding and those godawful chocobo races. Frankly I'm surprised they having come out with a VII kart game by now, I'm sure all the fangirls would wet themselves seeing a chibi, bobble-headed Sephi and Cloud in go-carts.

It's really extremely lazy of them to keep relying on fans to rake in money. For god's sake, they're Square Enix, they don't NEED to do that. Enix had been doing great for all these years with Dragon Quest and whatever else they made, and the Square name instantly drew tons of fans. If only more people had sense enough to boycott all this Compilation crap.

I think down the line this whole bs about them refusing to make a traditional rpg would eventually be scrapped because... come one.. thats just stubborn in my opinion to force yourself to make a bad game instead is just not very cool

They ran out of idea after the original game, everything since has been recycled material.
You don't think Nomura could actually come up with anything original after his initial character designs currently being used in who knows how many different games.

Damnit, what are SE thinking? £££.
They aren't just going to let the FFVII compilation rest in peace.
When the cash cow starts to die, perhaps they'll move on to something more original, or milk a later game. I wouldn't mind a few spinoffs of newer games, but the amount of stuff done for VII is absurd.

Really, one thing that would be great, would be a compilation of all the older games for PS3.

If there is a God, it will be over.

-Mod Edit. Please put more effort into future posts, thank you-

Woow. All so negative? Maybe they're milking FFVII a little bit, but i know if they released nothing you'd all be whining that they've forgotten about FFVII. They've definately not forgotten about FFVII.

All these games are just for 2 things:

A) Remind old FFVII fans
