View source for Chad's Antideas and Thoughts: Final Fantasy VII 64DD: Part Deux


9-Jan-98

Let me see if I understand Josh correctly. &nbsp;You don't want FF VII to come to the DD? &nbsp;I guess I did misunderstand you. &nbsp;But now Josh is misunderstanding me, here are some quotes:

'''...don't even try to tell me N64 has bad graphics...'''

That is not what I am saying at all. &nbsp;I am however saying that a game that large could not possibly have the same graphics as the Playstation version and I will prove that to you with the next quote.

'''But I don't see what'd be such the difference between making it 3D and that...'''

Do I hear graphic that you are slashing graphic quality? &nbsp;That's what I think that I hear. &nbsp;FFIII (U.S.) &nbsp;was a great game, perhaps one of my favorite. &nbsp;However, FFVII just would not be the same if put in an FFIII form. &nbsp;I'm not saying it couldn't be done. &nbsp;I am saying that they would have to remake the game to do it. &nbsp;Maybe it would sell. &nbsp;Definitely not to 1,000,000 people like the Playstation version did, but it would sell. &nbsp;But, if they are going to remake the game to put it into an FFIII engine they might as well just make another game so it would sell to people with both a playstation and an N64. &nbsp;Would this not be the logical approach?

In conclusion, &nbsp;today I will admit that FFVII DD is possible. &nbsp;However, it is not logical to do this by using the change that Josh has suggested. &nbsp;I would suggest to Square to make a new game with the 64DD in mind that uses full advantage of the features of the 64 and the DD. &nbsp;That would probably be a better game than FFVII anyway.

Note from the author: &nbsp;I am not in any way biased against the Nintendo 64. &nbsp;Actually, I am probably biased against the Playstation if any. &nbsp;The Playstation doesn't have many good games on its system. &nbsp;I would not recommend a Playstation to anyone except those die-hard Squaresoft fans like myself.
