FF7: Before Crisis

Rattan · #1

Although rumor has circulated for several years that a sequel to Final Fantasy VII was in the works, Advent Children dispelled the large majority of them. However, to the surprise of much of the gaming media, a direct prequel to the massively popular title was announced at Square Enix's press conference.

The prequel, entitled Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, features the Turks, the Shinra corporation's skilled mercenary force. Although much of the game appears to be vaguely action-oriented in nature, the battle system features a modified but still tried-and-true menus and turn-based system. The biggest surprise about the game is probably that it is being developed by Square Enix's Mobile sub-division for use on cellphones. Whether the game will be coming stateside is a matter of some question, given that our delivery system for cellphone broadcasting isn't as standardized as Japan's. More information will be coming shortly from the show floor at E3.

Yes! Cant wait for more info about that.

Oh goody. A prequel to the most overrated game of all time.

If its a mobile game, i doubt we'll see it. They're doing similar games with Dragon Warrior I and FFI, which I also doubt we'll see.

I've seen screenshots. It looks pretty crappy.

The fact that they came up with such an awesome concept but chose to make it on CELL PHONES disturbs me.

Sim Kid · #6

^Cell phones? That's just asking for disaster.

I still don't see why some people get so worked up when ff7 is mentioned. What is so bad about it? so overrated about it? Just because it brought in more fans? just because it suposidly stole one of the older fan's favorite final fantasy's spot light?

It is just ridiculus to me

^*claps* Thank you

Anyway, on Cell Phones? Oh god no. >_<

Bass is right. Trust me. FFVII is nowhere near the most overrated game of all time. That spot belongs to Halo.

What we get so worked up about FF7 is the fact that alot of the world thinks it's the best game of all time completley ignoring other great games like Chrono Trigger and Zelda. That and that some idiots even think it's graphics are some of the best ever seen period, better than the PS2 graphics. Plus, have you ever been flamed-half-to-death and chased off a forum by FF7 hippies? I have-I used to go to these really crappy forum and when I reviewed Final Fantasy 7 and gave it a 7 out of 10, they acted like I called their mothers Child-molesting-Lesbian-terrorists and bashed me as much as DVGBA was bashed. I left the forum and they kept sending me stupid emails. (fyi, those forums and website died out two-years ago so I can't link you to that topic). I'm just glad that those FF7 hippies (The dumb FF7 fans) don't go here, otherwise the Admins wouldn't have been as busy banning people since Lupus.

FF7 is hardly even close to the most overrated game of all time. FF7 was amazing. It had flaws, duh, and the graphics, though great for that time, suck monkey butt, but holy friggin crap. You're basing this off of imbeciles who should locked up and systematically eliminated. I'll admit the new ff7 game being made by a cellphone company... sounds crappy... and just a sleazy way to make money(frankly I'd of rathered a novel released on that)... though.

^Like I said, the only FF7 fans we get here are the SMART FF7 fans, and Erdawn is proof of it.

What I said is that a majority of the world thinks FF7 was some gift from god to mankind, but with the rising number of Halo Hippies, Halo is going to top it. (Plus, just go to gamefaqs and count the 10's in its reviews) And the reason FF7 is the most overrated game of all time is BECAUSE of those imbeciles and retards with PETA and Politician I.Qs.

Your exaggerating again.

Omni_Link · #15

Please...please let me here why bolt say why it is the most overrated game...I wonder what novel he will write up to back himself for this.

I see why you say that doug....but just because the new ff fans say stupid stuff like that doesn't mean you should turn your back and hate on one of the ff games. Don't blame it and call it the most overrated, blame the brainless new fans that are stupid. they probably think ff anthology and ff chronicles games are newer then ff7...those idiots are lost.

Though Ima big ff3/6 fan myself...I have to give ff7 its dos...it did bring in fans...no matter how dumb they be.

Cell phones? Ah hell no!

Oh, so some people can't admit that you think anyone who likes FF7 is a fanboy, and has to ruin every damn topic about it, hey, I got an idea, why don't you go **** yourself, because we can display our opinion, and you aren't going to change that, not now, not ever, not even with tazers, and this is a run on sentance yes it is so I'll make it the longest one yet Diddly Diddly Diddly dee ah screw it. Hell, when I was still a casual gamer (around 8 or so), I liked the game.

They think it's overrated because they can't admit they shared good times with the game and cried, and they think crying is for wimps, so they cover it up with bull crap. It's true fanboys who say that anyone who even slightly likes FF7 is a fanboy.

Chrono Trigger and FF6 are great games, but couldn't match the magic of when I was still a casual gamer, so back the hell off of FF7, you idiotic, moronic, lying, dirty, FANBOYS.

No, I do not think that. Sab likes FF7 and have I ever called him a fanboy? No.

and has to ruin every damn topic about it

Okay, maybe I have done that without realizing it.

because we can display our opinion, and you aren't going to change that

Have I ever tried to change your opinion?

Hell, when I was still a casual gamer (around 8 or so), I liked the game.

So? When I was about the same age, I liked the game but that was before I met the FF7 hippies.

They think it's overrated because they can't admit they shared good times with the game and cried, and they think crying is for wimps, so they cover it up with bull crap.

Are you maybe exxagerating about that? I'll admit I had fun playing the game but I never cried while playing a video game except for some really sad parts and when Final Fantasy X-2 turned into a whorehouse on a CD.

It's true fanboys who say that anyone who even slightly likes FF7 is a fanboy.

Even IF you slightly liked FF7, then I wouldn't call you a fanboy. A Fanboy is someone who obsesses over games and then hate every other game that wasn't made by that company and accuse it of rippping off of it.

so back the hell off of FF7, you idiotic, moronic, lying, dirty, FANBOYS.

Do you really know what a fanboy is or did you just take that out of context and use it as an insult?

Yeah I know what fanboy means, I'm calling any person who does all that a True fanboy, trust me, there ARE people like that.

Rattan · #19

And they don't listen to reason. Never.

Super Shy Guy · #20

Everytime FF7 is mentioned on these forums, dumbasses come forth and fill the topic with "OMG MOST OVERRATED GAME EVER!!!11illdieavirgin" It kills my braincells. I also hate it when people badmouth a game just because people they happen to not like enjoy it.
