Hey all.

First, I'd just like to say "Hello!" since it's my new post on here. I've been lurking for a bit, especially in the tweaking forum since I've been trying to get my MP3s to replace the MIDIs in Final Fantasy VII for the PC, but I never posted on here before.

I'm rather hoping this won't count as spam or anything but I'm not 100% sure... If it does, I'm really sorry.

I penned up a Final Fantasy VII PlayStation 3 Remake petition tonight that I am eventually hoping to send to Square Enix and thought some of you may want to sign. I don't have many signatures yet but I'm hoping that'll change soon.

Here's the link: http://www.petitiononline.com/ps3ffvii/petition.html

Thank you in advance to anyone who signs and again, I apologize if this counts as spam, I really don't mean to spam a board, I'm just trying to let people know I've set this thing up.

I managed to count all the way to zero!
 
Oh, dang, I was just reading about a game that got made because of petitions and fan support on wikipedia the other day and I can't remember which one it was... That figures. I'll be back with the name when I can remember the dang thing.

Sad thing is that I wasn't joking. It took me a bit to remember but the game was Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire. To quote wikipedia "Dragon Fire was always planned to be part of the series (whereas Wages of War originally was not), but it would not have been produced if not for the pressure that fans put upon Sierra Entertainment."
 
Who the hell is Sierra Entertainment?

...Not a huge corporate deity like Sony, I'm sure.

Sony's proven that it can withstand many, many things. Pressure from some little website (in the grand scheme of things) isn't going to alter their decision any. For all we know, they are making it, but are trying to lead us otherwise. An unlikely scenario, but plausible nonetheless.

Regardless, Final Fantasy VII is as Final Fantasy VII was, to me. I'll buy a remake, but I'm perfectly happy with how it was, and even how it's going to be with how these boards have been developing newer and newer methods to improve the overall quality of the game.

If you are supposed to be a gamer, you might as well educate yourself a bit.

Nih. :-D

Regardless, online petitions are usually worth... well, nothing. And it's been eight years since Quest for Glory V. Even then fans basically got a stripped down game, with lots of stuff removed because there was no time/money to make it work.

Nothing but the greatest creators of adventure games ever. Never played any Monkey Island games? Grim Fandango?

I thought Monkey Island and Grim Fandango were Lucasarts, not Sierra. Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me. But I was a big fan of the Monkey Island games (still dig them out from time to time) so it's the kind of thing I'd expect myself to remember correctly.

I do believe that sierra co-produced those games. I know they produced the "Larry"series as well as lots of goldies. Although, they have been releasing newer games to. I mean, Half-Life anyone?
 
i have a feeling i don't want them to remake it.
FF7 is FF7. I'm afraid they will change it too much and it won't be FF7 (yeah wrap your brain around that, you know what i mean)
if they do it and it sucks i will pretend it does'nt exist and continue indulge myself in the creations of the Qhimm community.

Which would be why I don't know them. Never played any of the Half-Life games or Monkey Island or Grim Fandango (?).

Whatever. I really only play RPGs and first-person shooters. I've never gotten around to Half-Life.

But the premise of my post remains; an online petition won't influence Sony.
 
I'm willing to bet money that Sierra had nothing to do with Monkey Islands and Grim Fandango, considering the bitter rivalry between Lucasarts and Sierra at the time. Plus, Lucasarts does not need co-producers, money is something it has plenty.

You... ... what you say?!

Is there actually a person in this world who has never played Half-Life? Person who plays FPS', but has never played Half-Life? What is wrong with you?! :P What kind of a freak are you?! :-D

You really need to try them. Really really really. At least the latter, if the former looks bit too aged. They haven't gathered the trophies and Game of the Year-titles just because Sierra bribes people, but because they are actually really good.
 
I wouldn't sign a petition for a PS3 remake of FF7, even if there were a chance it'd help. I'd much rather see it on DS, PSP, XB360, Wii, or pretty much anything that doesn't cost $600.

Sierra also makes the You Don't Know Jack games, or at least used to. Good trivia fun.
 
I think the most logical choice would be PSP, as it would support updated graphics, be handheld, and it's Sony.  Plus, I believe no wallets have died buying PSPs.  The same, I'm sure, won't be able to be said for the PS3.  Personally, I hope that it will come to the DS, owning one myself...but that will never happen...or will it? :wink:

PS3=$ :-o

XB360=$ :|

Wii=$ :-)
 
Jari is absoluetly correct.  The Monkey Island games and Grim Fandango were all Lucas Arts.

Well, the biggest reason I never played any of the Half-Life series games is because I'm really not a PC gamer--this is mostly because my computer is crap, and while I'd have the resources to upgrade it or buy a new computer, I've just really never gotten around to it.

But that changed around this past April. I finally found a nice computer off Tiger Direct for a really good price, and just couldn't pass up the opportunity. I bought it, and things were gravy for awhile. And then I remembered that I had a quality gaming PC, and it instantly clicked that I remembered I wanted Doom 3. So, last week, I bought that (for an exceptionally good deal, too; I guess people can't handle the literal fiery computer requirements) and have been playing that since. This topic reminded me that the Half-Life series exists, and that I've heard good stuff about it. As soon as I can pull myself away from Doom, I'll definitely play that :-D.

Wow...I guess your follow-up explains it.

I'm really not a PC gamer...

Now that you got a decent system you should check out some of the classics they have made. Check here.  Next time do a search before posting something like that.  That's like asking, "Who the hell is id Software?"
