Final Fantasy 7 for Playstation 4 is just the game that sets the journey.
"So, as for the AAA titles we’re currently developing for series, we basically want to go back to their roots and focus on the core audience"

Who could predict that Square Enix would literally go back exactly there? New JRPGs that looks graphically like the Original Final Fantasy 7, with the exact gameplay from Final Fantasy 7.
Pokemon X/Y reuse of decade old game mechanics & structure manage to sell 12.12m copies, could be a factor that Push Square Enix to re-use the old Final Fantasy 7 game structure, for a new Final Fantasy.
Simply take Final Fantasy 7, remove the story, remove the cutscenes, remove the musics, remove the graphics, keep the old codes, add new story, add new musics, add new graphics, Final Fantasy 17 done. Release date 2017.
A new Final Fantasy, for example let's call it Final Fantasy 17 with new story, new per-rendered background, new 3d assets, new cutscenes, on the same old Final Fantasy 7 game engine.
Yearly release of Final Fantasy would now be possible! Final Fantasy like Final Fantasy XV, XIV would be made decennially, once every 10years.
Bike and Snowboard Minigame could make a comeback. 2017 would be an awesome year.
Final Fantasy XVII for Playstation 4 screenshot would probably looks like.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I would love more JRPGs for PS4, especially if they are retro/classic turn based ones.
I'm all for a return to form, but I think Square has trouble justifying it financially. JRPGs just don't catch the average gamer's attention anymore sadly. It's become very niche and the big budget releases on consoles are hard to justify, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts withstanding.
I think Square's old soul still exists but they pour it into their mobile games. Bravely Default and Dream Drop Distance were great, but they're also safe projects because they speak mostly to Japanese gamers who have mostly moved to handhelds and the budgets are much smaller. Even over here, the Vita and 3DS are your go to devices for these games.
We have a lot of series that have been collecting dust so to speak which I would take over a FF7 remake. A new Phantasy Star, Ograe Battle, Skies of Arcadia, Wild arms, Breath of Fire, Suikoden. I'd love to see any of these make a return.
Going back to FF there are other games in the series that justify a remake over 7, 6 automatically comes to mind.
I think it has more to do with declining interest in these types of games when we consider what's popular these days. JRPGs have never been about online multiplayer and that's what's taken this and last generation by storm. Since mobile devices are one player per device, Square and other JRPG makers have probably caught wind of that and know that no one buys a handheld just to play online. Too many connective restrictions where you'd be better off just buying a console. Since the handheld market can depend on a single player more than a console market, it makes sense of why these types of games are mostly catered to those these days. It's like PS3 games mandating installs because developers can depend on a HDD being present.
Not a bad thing at all, really. I'd rather they stay on handheld than discontinue the genre entirely.
if this is true im excited they went away from turn based battle system and look at their sales and the name final fantasy has lost all weight to me since 10 since they went to the crap battle system since ff x
