May i be the first person to reply and say this looks to be one of the best Square-Enix games of recent times. To be 100% honest, every game after FFIX has been below expectations, and that includes FFX, FFX-2, FFXI, FFXII, FFXII on the DS etc. Crisis Core is not bad, but was never ment to be better than FFVII, just to complete the story.
This game however, is a FF Fanboys DREAM. Everyones favorite characters fighting to the death.
Seeing Squall in those graphics made my jaw drop, i cannot tell you how amazing it feels to see Squall in such good graphics.
I can only hope FFVII, VIII & IX are remade. Zidane looks great too.
Wow. Stunned. Thanks for the blog post.

I loved FFX the rest yes were seriously lacking FFXI & FFXII totally SUCK!!
Remakes of FFVII & FFVIII would so rock(FFVII mostly) I could do without FFIX remake, but as long as 7 & 8 come first I wouldnt complain.
But Get FFXIII on the PS3 I can't wait for that. This looks pretty good to all the best characters Awesome!!
bryansurvive @ Jun 26th 2008 1:28PM
this game is coming to to all regions right? cus i cant wait. oh yea where the remakes i want some remakes. my ps2 broke i dont own a psx anymore. i dont want to buy a ps3 plus i heard they dont play ps2 or psx games so it would be pointless. so looks like my psp needs some new games.
evilfoxhound @ Jun 26th 2008 1:38PM
All versions of the PS3 play PSX games. Just not PS2 ones.
Popfrogs @ Jun 29th 2008 1:20PM
Get the 80GB metal gear bundle if you can find it, that'll solve your problems.
Daniel @ Jun 26th 2008 1:30PM
This game looks awesome, and I certainly love the Squeenix PSP love, but I sure would have enjoyed seeing all those characters in PS3 graphics...
Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?
Alien @ Jun 26th 2008 2:03PM
My god the game looks so freakin' amazing :o Why cant they put more people to finish it faster ? :(
Ayumi @ Jun 26th 2008 2:11PM
to the above comments,
remake this and remake that! wouldn't guys or gals rather have square-enix create original games? why do you wanna play something you already played? (an don't say because of the visual upgrade)
anyway, the game looks cool. but needs more characters from the nintendo era of final fantasy. meaning, ffI - ffvi.
phrequency @ Jun 26th 2008 3:50PM
well i'm gonna go ahead and say it... 70% of the reason i'd replay the remakes is because of the visual upgrades. it's a legitimate reason too because a visual makeover can create a new experience on a second playthrough. i'd like to see some originals too... just finished playing through TWEWY. while it's not s-e, i'm looking forward to white knight chronicles. the more rpgs the better, remake or not.
Dreadhead541 @ Jun 26th 2008 5:13PM
What are you talking about? 4 of the 10 characters shown were from Nintendo FF games
bryansurvive @ Jun 29th 2008 1:29PM
yea i want both world. new and old games. theres somethign called replay value and those older games offer it.
Christopher @ Jul 2nd 2008 4:28PM
I never got to finish FF VII, so yeah, I want a remake. Going back and playing PS1 games, now matter how good, is just too painful when you've got such nice looking ones as X through XII, and now the soon to be XIII on PS3.
I did that for Silent Hill several years ago before PS3 was out and although I don't regret it, it was too painfully hard on the eyes and I wouldn't do it again.
acefondu @ Jun 26th 2008 3:15PM
I'm still on the fence about this one. If the battle system works I may pick it up. But I've never seen Square succeed at anything but RPG's. Fighting games are very difficult to do right. Many end up broken with people spamming this or that. We'll see, should be interesting.
Undyne @ Jun 27th 2008 6:32AM
Einhander
acefondu @ Jun 27th 2008 8:17AM
@Undyne
I'm not sure what Einhander a shooter game has to do with a fighting game but ok....
Haohmaru @ Jun 27th 2008 10:49PM
It's not an RPG, and you did say you've never seen Square do anything decent besides RPGs. Einhander is one example of that, and Bushido Blade is an example of another.
cafecito @ Jun 26th 2008 8:04PM
Indeed. I am unsure about the battle gameplay/mechanics as well. Everything else, of course, looks top notch. Usual Squeenix rooftop quality.
boarder4021 @ Jun 26th 2008 8:24PM
Anyone else surprised that they just confirmed this for 2008? I thought that all the speculation was for FF13 + FFV13 + Dissidia + KH Birth By Sleep would all take until 2009 to ship.
BlackFreefall @ Jun 26th 2008 9:36PM
Characters like Zidane and Squall will finally get some voice acting!
Saigon @ Jun 26th 2008 10:43PM
It would be nice if they could bring David Boreanaz back for Squall. I've always thought that the dude who does Edward Elric's voice, could do a good Zidane.
Saigon @ Jun 26th 2008 10:36PM
With FF8 being my favorite(not best) FF game I've played, I can't explain how awesome it was to see Squall and Seph battling in Advent Children style. Squall doing Renzokuken looked damn sweet, and the Lion Heart looks great on psp as well. I can't wait to see(hopefully) how Omnislash V5 will look. My only insignificant gripe is with Amano's piece of cloth that's hanging off the side of Squall's belt. Oh, and Zidane using his tail to launch himself off Tidus, was just freakin' kickass.
Dear god, this game can't come soon enough for the FF fanboys and fangirls.
Erwos @ Jun 27th 2008 10:01AM
Seriously! I'm going to enjoy proving that Squall _can_ kick Cloud's ass - because we all know, announcement or not, Cloud is going to be in this game if Sephiroth is.
heckteck @ Jun 27th 2008 10:58AM
.........besides ultamecia from ff8 wheres all the girls? there's a bunch guys that look like girls but come on
CornBreadtm @ Jun 27th 2008 3:05PM
Sephiroth's new shoulder pads look awesome (look at them before he swings a Squall)... and thats all i have to say besides im getting this when it comes out in japan cause it will be like 2 years before a US or international release. i hope a translation comes out online as soon as its released. lol.
henry @ Jun 28th 2008 11:30PM
i don't care if the gameplay sucks... this is a must have
TypeF @ Jul 15th 2008 2:00PM
why dont i see cloud? >.>
