No kidding! Those boss monsters look great. Except for some clunkyness in the beginning, the character animation is fantastic. Backgrounds look pre-rendered (as in FF VII and VIII), but the 3D actors seem well integrated within them. And, more important, available soon!
Plenty, actually. They don't want to squander any of the sell of FFVII until the inevitable remake. After that is done they'll port the original to every platform known to man.
This looks great, I mean sure a port of one of SE's more legendary titles would be awesome...but if this is even up to par with the quality of some of their better games it should be a blast.
I think Cilo meant technically. But I agree with you on the economic reason why they won't be getting to FFVII any time soon.
except there isnt going to BE a remake, i dont remember where, but they said there were no plans for one.. werent all those spin-off games enough for you?
the video looks awesome, recall lot of memory of FF VII. and the song at the end of vid is beautiful. Hope it'll release in the summer time.
Those graphics look really great. I'm just worried that this is going to be yet another disappointing Square Enix game though. The last great game they made was called The World Ends With You, and since then, iPhone or not, all their games have ranged from average to godawful.
Of course there is going to be a remake eventually. They've been teasing and using every excuse ("yeah, not now" "oh, it is always on our mind") for years now but one thing remains clear - a remake when done no matter how long after would be a huge success, worlds more than porting the original. The problem is the development process at the main FF studio is in a mess, as showcased when a large studio such as theirs recently used the excuse of "HD towns is too difficult". In any case I'm not even anticipating anything FFVII-related, not least because it is average and vastly overrated. I am merely replying.

Oh my gosh, you are right! Current-gen consoles have better graphics than handheld devices! Thanks for pointing that out -- I would gave never known otherwise.
Ew generic anime heads during dialogue... Really brings down the game quality imo. I wanna see some more fancy moves xD. Battles looks way too slow paced for a portable game though, you better can save state anywhere. Smart decision is making it turn based. It makes sense for a system with no buttons. This definitely ain't gonna work on my iphone 3g -.-"
