Nintendo shows off FInal Fantasy 7 (original) on Switch in a new NA Switch commercial
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Wonder how Square Enix feels about that, considering Super Smash Bros. Ultimate probably sold more in a day than Dissidia Final Fantasy NT sold lifetime.
Don't worry they'll add one more PSX original soundtrack to the other two in Clouds stage in Smash.
That's a broad generalization. Did you forget about lapsed gamers and handheld gamers? Both groups would buy the Switch for its convenience as a hybrid. No one needs to be a huge Nintendo fan to be attracted to the platform. You're viewing this with a console war mindset. To put it into perspective, a PS Vita user might not necessarily game on the PS4. If presented a Vita/PS4 multi-platform game, they would choose the Vita version without hesitation. Not everything has to be about crazy fanboys. The Switch's form factor is what causes most of the port-begging. It's handheld/hybrid vs stationary console, and not Nintendo vs other platforms.
Also, sometimes people might pay more attention to a game that has never been on the platform before. This applies to all platforms. Do you see how many people suddenly started giving Ace Attorney attention when they could've bought it on mobile or 3DS long ago? Or Monster Hunter? In terms of statistics, the PS4 install base is the one that refuses to game on other platforms the most. 91.6 million install base for PS4, but only ~41 million for XB1 and 32 million for Switch. Come back again when the Switch actually reaches 90+ million install base.
That wasn't on the original ps1 version? I always played the pc version
Yep.
My FF ownership is PSN, PC & iPhone. The iPhone version has been my lead version since owning it. I expect Switch to take that mantle thanks to the adaptability of the medium. I have sold off my PC with Switch becoming the platform of choice for me now.
Considering how often random battles appear, you would pretty much always hear the first few seconds of the music if it did restart.
It'll be something entirely random too, like... Underneath the Rotting Pizza.
When we should at least get J-E-N-O-V-A, Jenova Complete, Birth of a God, One Winged Angel... Maybe Cloud's Theme?
Good. Now they just need to release FF 4-6 on Switch so we don't have that weird gap between 3 and 7.
I'm just disappointed there won't be a physical version. Will probably still buy the game again but would much prefer to have a physical version.
It's sad but I see it happen, I'm on a Switch facebook and people got really excited the other day for AC3 when it was rumored to be coming on the console. People that up to that point were very dismissive towards games like AC Origins or Odyssey.
It would've been cool if they did a special edition N64 cartridge.
Things have certainly come a long way.
(Especially if the game ends up being released on a Switch cart...)
I never beat Ocarina of Time until it came out on 3DS, because I missed it in its heyday and by the time I got a version of it (on Wii Virtual Console) it was an old-ass game that I didn't make time for.
Likewise I have FF7 on the PlayStation Classic and might still get the Switch version because of portability. Like what the actual, man? Not everyone's been a hardcore gamer for 30 years.
I haven't forgot those gamers. They all could have play this game on ps2, psp, ps3, psvita, playstation tv, playstation classic, pc, laptop, mac, android, ios, playstation 4, xbox one...
I'm absolutely amazed by the amount of gamers who are wanting to play this game for years but "couldn't".
That's all....
User Warned: Platform Warring / Antagonistic Behavior
Sorry I spoke against your lovely Nintendo. Wont happen anymore
The parade minigame was extremely frustrating on PC, because they told you the command to input, not the actual key. So you had to have your keybinds memorized PERFECTLY.
Like, in the heat of the moment, how are you gonna remember which key [SWITCH] is bound to? You're not.
I'm still baffled why this even concerns you. There are plenty of shows I can watch in the many different outlets but I will usually wait until it's on Netflix just because.
It doesn't bother me at all. I'm just posting what I was thinking and what I see. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
Opinions :)
Haha yeah... I remember there used to be print ad that Square ran that said if FF VII were on a cartridge based system it would take like 15 carts lol
I was 13 when VII came out so I vividly remember reading about all these cool looking RPGs I couldn't play in EGM and Ultra Game Players
If they don't, I'm sure Limited Run Games, Playasia, and all those kinds of shops would jump on the opportunity for that.
I'm sure just about everyone who's excited for this is aware that they could have played FF7 on other consoles. Did anyone here say they "couldn't?"
Also think it's weird you include Xbox One when that version is coming out at the same time as the Switch version, so no, they *couldn't* have played that before it came to Switch.
