Is it can be FF7 time?
Posted on August 4, 2008 - Filed Under Gaming
So Apparently this advertisement is sitting at Best Buys waiting to be put out. As you can tell a certain game is sitting there. Now, not only is it simply unbelievable that Square could keep a game like a FF7 remake a secret for however many years it takes to make a megahit game like that. It’s even more unlikely that they would do it in the first place. Not only would this make fanbois completly forget about 13 going multiplat, but it would be free hype for all things SE.
A simple press report confirming this would generate so much buzz across the gaming industry that everyone would be talking about it. Be it praising the game, throwing it under a bus, complaining about how a remake could only tarnish it’s greatness, and w/e else it might be. Every gaming message board would be talking about Square and every gaming site would be throwing money at Square for any pieces of info on this.
The only reason I can think of(assuming this highly unlikely event is true) Square keeping it secret is to avoid the above. All though it’s free advertising, I’d imagine it would take a large toll on their lead developers/designers of constantly being hounded about it. With Square needing to focus on FF13 and it’s numerous other projects it could be possible.
The other thing that supports this is, there is no reason for the typo. Not only are there no games coming out for the ps3 on 8/16(8/12 Madden and 8/26 Disgaea 3, Tiger Wood, vampire rain, and Ferrari racing). So not only would they have had a misprint on the date(possible with an 8/26 set of releases) but then completly written down the wrong game. That’s not only not close to anything being released, but shouldn’t even be a blip on Best Buys Rader. Crisis core has run it’s course, Advent Children won’t be seeing the states(again) until next year(if that), Dirge of Cerebus makes no sense, and thats everythign FF7.
So although extremely unlikely, a fanboi like myself is going to fall victim to the realm of possibility on this. I would expect Square or Best Buy to have an official comment on the matter sooner or later.
