Hey...how bout porting FF7 to the X box! The X box is like 99% a PC anyway...i wonder how hard it would be to do it. I know they already ported a good many emulators and some games and stuff to the x Box so why not FF7 or even 8
 
That would be awesome... use the characters from Kingdom Hearts + Voice Acting... wuuuwaaa =D
 
I'd like to see what "upgrades" if any, they would provide before I decide on if I want it enough to get an Xbox...
 
well the XBox is an AWESOME console if your into the homebrewn things like emulators and ports of games and the like.
 
So is the DC, considering the OS it's loaded with  :D
Dreamcast or XBox sounds good, although, what kind of enhancements would be possible? If you managed to spruce it up, could the same be done for the PC version?
 
Wait!!

We're forgetting one critical thing.  The Xbox is using an nVidia GPU for its gfx.  Therefore, we'd probably run into most of the same problems we've run into when trying to get it to run on a PC.

We'd need to conquer the myraids of graphical glitches that FF7 seems to have with nVidia hardware before we could really begin to port it.
 
ff7 with a fully 3d world and improved character models would be great... but voice acting would be horrible.
 
NO WAY based on Kindom Hearts... I prefer voice acting!!! (ne ne Japanese version was better...) =#

Nah. FFVII has NO problems with Nvidia cards if your a l33t FFVII tweaker like moi.
 
True, but you're forgetting that Xbox doesn't exactly let you "tweak" the evil heart inside it that is the nVidia GPU. :P

(as if being made by M$ didn't make it evil at heart already, LOL.)
 
Quite an interesting thought...

When I first heard about ff7 from one of my friends (back in 1997) he said that it came with in-game voice dialogue. A while later I heard from someone that actually played the game that there were no in-game voices. So..why not do it? Anyone can do the voices! If anyone starts this project, it wouldn't be too hard to get voices. Hell, I'd even volunteer  to do some 8)
 
But, then we'd have to stick with the default names.  I don't think we'd have the tech to be able to choose character names AND have believable voice acting.
 
A`re maybe... no no, not too long ago...
was it me wait?! eee nope, that wasn't me =D

I remember reading a message once...,
Someone asked why he or she couldn't hear characters' voices
(FFVII or FFVIII)
=D

PS: I thought it was funny =S nope, it was very funny =)
 
Cloud, Vincent, Sephiroth, Zack...Nanaki...where do I sign up? XD
 
Man....

Too bad we couldn't get Sean Connery to do Nanaki (Red XIII).

On the other hand, if we did FF8, we could get Robin Williams to do the voice of Headmaster Cid. :D
 
Sean connery for Red XIII? What the hell? That would be the last person I'd want to have speaking for Nanaki. How about... Keanu Reeves? I don't really expect Nanaki to have a voice which is well-spoken. Now..Robin Williams as Cid would be another story. Those two look EXACTLY ALIKE and yes, Robin could do well as FF8's Cid. As for the Cid from ff7, I would suggest Marshal Mathers (Eminem). However, I prefer to have him speak in his normal voice. I'd see Cloud, Zack, and Sephiroth with young-sounding voices (for example, Dart's voice from Legend of Dragoon).

But, then we'd have to stick with the default names.  I don't think we'd have the tech to be able to choose character names AND have believable voice acting.

I see your point. However, maybe we could just replace the different name with a blank replacement like: "he" or "she" or "you" or provide nicknames. Grr...
 
I suppose...or else we could make a text-to-speech language for each character. That would be very hard..and perhaps not worth it. But, we would be definately breaking new grounds as far as video gaming goes. I'd stick with the default names idea until someone who wants to seriously try my idea steps up.

To goku7: I'm sorry..I still can't get over using Sean Connery as Nanaki's voice. You can't be serious about that. It's almost as bad as deckard cain from diablo sounding like him. I've had enough of that guy's voice..ARGH!
