Secret Square-Enix Game Wasn't Widely "Requested"
Oh, it's sad all right. So sad, in fact, that I'm having difficulty fighting back the tears. ...oh wait, no I'm not, because I knew it was too good to be true.
Just after Christmas, we learned of Square-Enix's supposed secret game announcement, and the reason it gained such immense attention is because it was supposed to be something "everyone had requested." Unfortunately, this was due to a poor insider tip given to RPG Land, who now apologizes by saying their typically reliable inside source must've failed to actually read the interview in question. The Gamega interview with Square-Enix executive Tetsuya Nomura does include the fact that a secret game - set to be announced this year - is indeed in the works, but as for "journalists and gamers" always requesting it...um, that's not in there. Well, at least they're owning up to the oversight and besides, we still have this "secret title." Sadly, it now seems less likely to be Kingdom Hearts 3 or the oft-rumored Final Fantasy VII remake but we won't give up hope just yet. So long as we know nothing about this project, that hope still hangs on by a thread... Just don't let it be some terrible spin-off, please.
I know you're disappointed but it seems more and more like the FFVII remake is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We're gonna have to catch a leprechaun if we ever want to nab it.

As for Kingdom Hearts III Tetsuya Nomura said himself sometime in late 2007 early 2008, that it will take some time for an actual Kingdom Hearts "III" to come out since he's got his hands full with a bunch of other games.
Which meant that this secret game that was "requested by many fans" DID NOT EXIST. Leaving me to only realize that boy...something seems a bit fishy. Oh wait a minute, I forgot...THIS IS THE FUCKING INTERNET!!!
Case closed...but I am sort of interested in seeing what this game actually is.

Well i really don't know what to say, it is disappointing that they just don't make that FFVII remake, they really have no idea how much people want to see that. But i'll still keep my hopes up lol
As for the leprechaun, we can lure him out with a box of his lucky charms lol

I gotta a thousand of them. I tell ya.
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum today....but that's a different story (and if you live in the UK, it involves Frankie Howerd and Pompeii)...
Anyway, I just flew in....

But Thank God for that no happening, so I'm relieved, a bit =)
And haven't any of the Final Fantasy games taught you guys anything? To not give up hope? Why do you think Cloud beat Sephiroth? Or Yuna finally finding Tidus? Or Squall beating Ultimecia?
It's because they didn't give up hope, no matter what happened, or how many important people died.
So, as Ben said, don't give up hope just yet!
I know I'm not :)

I believe you're right. What would a FF VII remake entail? I don't think fans or SE would be satisfied with a "God Of War 1&2 Collection"-type remake, where they just upgrade the resolution of the original game. So it would probably have to be completely redone from scratch to look like FF XIII.
If that much effort has to be put into it, SE is probably more interested in working on FF15 and 16 instead.

why is it every time this happens it turns out to be a massive disappointment?
o, yea thats why.
journalists just do not know how to keep themselves under control, they hype something up to be the second coming of christ of course were going to be disappointed when it comes.

Not only will you be bored out of your mind, but the entire site would disappear in like six months 'cuz everyone would leave. Understand the nature of the business, please, and bear in mind that we never state anything as fact unless it IS.

im not saying to not release information about games when you have been given the ok to do so, thats your job.
im saying keep the hype down.
i remember when IGN was doing previews of killzone 2 they were frothing out the mouth, even in the videos.
praising it as the second coming of christ.
if someone hypes up something and its no where near what you expected of course your going to be disappointed.
if someone told you your getting a Ferrari for your birthday than you ended up getting a ford, you would be disappointed no?
i mean a car for your bday, thats a thumping pressy but in comparison to what your told.

You can't pass the buck entirely on this. A consumer has free will. If you know it's nothing but hype and remain objective about it, how can a website or any article make you dream impossible dreams?

Sure it would sell really well, but it isn't new, it could upset die hard fans if they change anything, and they already said they were not going to do it. Besides, there are tons of better (YES BETTER!) games out there that deserve a remake as well, which will also probably never see one.
