Kitase: Final Fantasy VII remake 'unrealistic,' would take too long to develop

Feb 20th 2010 10:27PM (Joystiq)
It's the huge amount of HD art assets that would hold the project back. Imagine that entire world, rendered in the same detail as the fields in XIII.
The story and script would also need to be reworked, because really, as amazing it was back then, some of it is a little laughable by today's standards.
As far as gameplay mechanics go, everything would need to be thrown out the window, and a new system would have to be created that attempted to bring back many of those classic elements, while playing like a modern game.
Very few outside the diehards waiting for this remake want to play an old-school turn based RPG, so obviously the game would need to look and play like a modern audience expects.

As long as there is auto-balancing and decent matchmaking, I don't really see the problem with 1% - 2% turning violent.

I don't recall what stage I've reached, but I think my top score was around 160,000.
Man, I need to build another mame machine, it's like selling a child when you have to get rid of one of those.

Yeah, that's so lazy! The indie developers of these small games better patch trophies, support for the second stick and shoulder buttons, and redo their art assets!

Two in one day is overdoing it.
It would help if you balanced them out with some useful posts, but it seems your ascii art is the closest to useful you get.
