Today on Headline RePLAY: Don’t expect a Final Fantasy VII remake anytime soon, the
Wii U will be low priced and Tekken’s chief fighting game producer wants the
community to act like “adults.”
Final Fantasy
VII fans that are holding out for a remake shouldn’t hold their breaths, as
Square-Enix CEO Yoichi Wada said it would take a Final Fantasy title that “exceeds”
the quality of VII for the company to
consider it.
During the company’s annual Q&A session, the
inevitable VII remake question was
asked and Wada conceded that the company is currently not making Final Fantasy
games that surpassed it yet. If a remake was to be released now, he said, the
series would be “done with.”
The Square-Enix CEO added that the company is more
than willing to work on a remake, but if they did, it would require their “full
effort.”

Nintendo is staying quiet on the Wii U’s pricing,
despite its expected release this holiday season, but if recent comments by CEO
Satoru Iwata are any indication, it won’t suffer from the same high price trap that
the 3DS did.
“We won’t make the same mistake that we did with
the 3DS, which was considered relatively high by consumers,” said Iwata in an
interview that was featured in today’s Yomiuri Shimbun.
Iwata promises that the console would be released
at a “reasonable” price.

After being barraged with requests on Twitter by
insatiable fans to bring back original voice actors and characters for Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Namco Bandai’s
chief fighting game producer had enough, and is telling the fanbase to stop “whining
and complaining about everything.”
“I believe that, before whining and complaining
about everything, you need practice at taking a step back and analyzing things
objectively,” Tweeted Katsuhiro Harada. “And also at being an adult.”
Harada then explained extensively why the voice
actors are/can’t be the same, and that despite how unappreciative some of the
fanbase seemed to be, he will continue to “sincerely comply” with fan requests.
“I have even compiled to the requests of you all
spamming me to ‘bring back characters’ from previous installments. You often say,
‘let’s show the dev team how sincere we are by buying 2 copies if they bring
back character X,’ but did you really go through with it?” asked Harada
rhetorically. “Expecting you to at least pre-order the game, I was met with
more spam, after you apparently didn’t notice that Jun and Michelle actually
return.”
“I still have some characters left to be revealed
that comply with some of your requests,” he continued, “even ‘bringing back’
several others. Even so, none of them are paid DLC. I will continue to
sincerely comply with fan requests. However, I can’t continue to engage the
negative ones that, without knowing what you are talking about, or even
thinking about what you are saying, blindly repeat ‘bring back, bring back,
bring back…’ After this lengthy explanation, I will be quite surprised if there
are still people who still don’t get it.
“Thanks for understanding or not understanding,” finished
Harada. “Whatever.”
