Advent Children Director Wants To Redo FFVII

1up.com has an interview with director Tetsuya Nomura, one of the men behind Advent Children and Kingdom Hearts. In it, he talks about several aspects of Square-Enixs' gaming library, and admits he'd like to expand the PS3 tech demo into a full revamp of Final Fantasy VII. From the article: "The PS3 tech demo was actually not the perfect forum that he wanted to have. It was just timing that we had to submit something in time for E3, for the press conference. So, again, it was not perfect forum. And the 7 remake idea was always, always in conversation, just because it's so popular. And then just because of that tech demo here in the PS3 conference, that probably based more expectations of fans, obviously."

I just saw the fansub of Advent Children last night, and I had my proveribal socks rocked off. It puts the Matrix to shame in cool fights and chase scenes. Cloud riding his motorcycle in a slide while blocking bullets with his sword looks pretty great. I haven't even played FF7, and I was impressed.

So yeah, I recommend the fansub entirely. I'll assume you all know how to find a copy.

Most console RPGs are basically interactive stories. Some people prefer to be told a story and others prefer to tell the story themselves. It's very difficult for someone who's a fan of one form to understand the appeal of the other. Final Fantasy and most other console RPGs set you on a specific storyline that you must follow to progress. The game will set you on a rail, and tell you an epic story. Morrowind, NWN and most computer RPGs allow you the freedom to build your own story. The game puts you into the world, and you can follow whatever the bread crumb trail of story that come your way.

Personally, I enjoy both types, but I enjoy the console RPGs a little more. If you played FF expecting it to be Morrowind, you'd be disappointed.
