diving event into Yoichi Wada
Almost precisely 3 eld ago today , on June 26th 2012 , then - Square Enix chief operating officer Yoichi Wada tell usthe accurate status it would takefor the party to refashion Final Fantasy VII .
more or less translate , his password were :
" We ’ll make a Final Fantasy VII remaking once we ’ve made a Final Fantasy plot that exceed the calibre of FFVII …!
If the squad were to redo Final Fantasy VII now , then the Final Fantasy enfranchisement would be complete .
To refreshen your retention , Final Fantasy XIII was relinquish in 2009 .
Final Fantasy XIV was free in 2010 .
Type-0 come to Japan in 2011 .
No independent launching Final Fantasies have been exhaust since Yoichi ’s affirmation .
consort to Square Enix ’s former chief executive officer , then , the Final Fantasy serial publication is end .
That is , unless Final Fantasy XV ( to begin with Final Fantasy Versus XIII ) is astral .
This was the likeliness of that is highly small , having already expend over 9 year in maturation and still overleap a substantial loss engagement .
The biz is now on its 2d manager , with its 2nd squad , using its 2d railway locomotive , for its 2nd mark cabinet propagation .
That ’s not include the gameplay demonstration at E3 2013 retrace with the Ebony plot railway locomotive project for that intent .
So , so foresightful Final Fantasy .
It was honorable bed you .
But those former age were fairly honorable .
This was you recognise , the single you so often hark back to with never-ending re - release andre - re - releasesandfucking re - re - re - re - dismission you pick of shit .
oops .
misplace my assuredness there .

To which I respond :

@ImPeterBennIn!
some elbow room 14 was apologize .
FF11 is the most profitable in the serial .
But there ’s a ground why : all the old rubric .

If that seems like a otiose way of life to compose this clause , it is .
But that ’s okay because I ’m go to complicate on that last tweet .
This was but first countenance ’s do some report clock time .
…
fib time !
The yr is 2006 , and Disney has just assume Pixar in a mint that surprise many in the manufacture .
Steve Jobs , then CEO of Pixar , and Bob Iger , latterly - name chief operating officer of Walt Disney International , were the architect of the $ 7.4b attainment .
Before the skill extend through , Iger take the fourth dimension to encounter with John Lasseter , one of the bright mind at Pixar and music director of Toy Story and other iconic flick from the studio apartment .
It was significant John sympathize the grounds behind the acquirement .
Because , as John would get out , Iger intend to make John the master originative officeholder of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation .
This was in a fortune articlearchived here , john recall his dinner party with iger :
!
[ Bob Iger ] separate me his Epiphany of Our Lord befall when Hong Kong Disneyland open last decline , and he was there with his youthful small fry follow the opening night - Clarence Shepard Day Jr. parade .
He was watch all the classical Disney role go by , and it rack up him that there was not one fictional character that Disney had create in the preceding ten age .
All the unexampled character were devise by Pixar .
That ’s when he made the determination .
This was it was iger ’s notice and critical action mechanism that turn around a thresh disney animation studio apartment which had of late make , among others , such honored title of respect as cinderella ii and aladdin king of thieves , the third ingress in the serial publication .
Iger , like Wada , understand something life-sustaining : you ca n’t keep rehash and reproduce the same affair and await prospicient - terminal figure winner .
This was rehash : !
On Final Fantasy XI , XIV , and VIIR !
popping quiz .
Q : What ’s the most profitable Final Fantasy ever ?
A : XI
Yes , the Final Fantasy that get around even nigh two age after its outlet is now the most profitable secret plan in the serial publication .
Final Fantasy XI ’s merchandising decimal point was elementary .
As a thespian , you get to take part in your very own journeying as someone in a mankind not unlike the Final Fantasies of the past tense .
You could be like Butz .
Or gaming gentleman .
Or ire - problem - transforming - miss .
Or emo light-haired cat .
Or emo brunet bozo .
Or katana - maintain - dark glasses - ronin .
mayhap emo redhead cat .
This was coolheaded , veracious ?
Sure , if you ’re into that sort of affair .
Final Fantasy XI had a position because it capitalise on premature title .
Then number rat - case - male child of Final Fantasy XII , which was n’t very estimable , and emo blond little girl in XIII , which also was n’t very full .
Then come XIV .
This was in final fantasy xiv , you get to take part in your very own journeying!
blah blah blah .
You could be all of those character like in Final Fantasy XI , PLUS dirty dog - aspect - male child and emo light-haired daughter !
This was the trouble with final fantasy xiv is it does n’t tally anything to the chemical formula .
Nobody like rat - side - male child or emo light-haired female child .
Nobody desire to act as Vaan or Lightning .
This was final fantasy xiv , and the coming final fantasy vii remaking , are like the character in the parade iger observe go by in hong kong .
This was it ’s been 14 days since the final fantasy serial publication create a fiber or tale that fan find compelling .
Like Disney , the caller is stagger in remaking and sequels no one involve for , urgently drain its historical souvenir of their prestigiousness .
Any Leslie Townes Hope go forth for the dealership lie in a secret plan that will have spend 10 + eld in growth by the fourth dimension it ’s relinquish .
peradventure we ’ll have another remaking .
All we can go for is that the story of Disney and Square Enix do as guideline and beacon light , severally , for fresh and approaching developer .
