New directions of Mega Man X and Final Fantasy
 

Some very intresting news have be posted in IGN today. First off, Mega Man X will star in a RPG game. http://cube.ign.com/articles/451/451501p1.html

Second, there will be a CGI movie that continues the story of Final Fantasy VII. http://ps2.ign.com/articles/451/451541p1.html

Bot things are something I have been hoping for a long time, it's certainly a good day.

Just thought I'd add to the news
 

Mega Man X7 is also being ported to the GBA, and there are strong rumors that SquareEnix is do Resident Evil type makeover of FF7 for Gamecube.

Holy...crap. They're actually making a FF7 movie! They all called me mad when I said it could one day happen! But now I am vindicated! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! :evilgrin:

Very interesting. I can't wait to see how Mega Man is going to work. As for FF...well I don't like the series but maybe the movie will be good. Since so many people are in love with and all.

You don't like Metroid. you don't like Final Fantasy, you can't be normal... :wink:

I liked the first two Metroid. I just didn't get into Prime too much. No I don't like Final Fantasy. Mostly because I don't like RPG's that much. I just find it too boring.

see, the problem with the FF games is the over dose of random battles. it took me half an hour to get from one town to the next in 7.

That's exactly the reason.

Every time I started a FF-game I kinda liked the random battles ("Oh a new monster!") but after a few hours it can become darn annoying.
But that's really one of the very few things I don't like about this series.

Random battles are one of the weaknesses of the console RPGs. It's starnge that they still do them, Chrono Trigger showed to everyone how it should be done.

Mario RPG was a good example, too.

Mega Man RPG!!! yay

FF7 was my favorite game. I knew this would happen after I read an interview of the producers of FFX-2 back before they started working on it. Good to actually see visual proof of it.

Oh my God that FF7 movie looks terrible! TERRIBLE! Why couldn't they keep the original character designs? It's not fair! These people shouldn't **** with these things! If something's a "classic", its deemed that for a reason, and here they go trying to make it modern and ****...what the hell...I've lost the capacity for rational thought...If you need me, I'll be off playing Russian Roulette!

im not suprised 7 Is getting a movie, it really is the most popular of the bunch. I remember reading an interview awhile back when they were also talking about doing a direct sequel to FF7. But apparently X got the honor instead. (Either that or they still will do a new 7)

i dunno how you saw that much from those tiny tiny screen shots...

and to cancel out the 'classic's shouldent be messed with' theory, look at Super Mario Bros. and compare it to SMB3.

I'unno Voltron... if they're gonna make a movie about FF7, I for one don't think it would sell if the characters were all a bunch of stumpy CGI Lego people like in the game...

I guess you could say, megaman's gonna be thuggin' and buggin'?
Belie dat playa!

(too bad I couldn't think of a way to fit "Hateraide, or Haterizin' in there)

:lol: that is the most amusing comment i've read today :lol:

I kinda agree with Voltron. I wish it looked more like the FFVII cut scenes, in an anime flair instead of that realistic lookin' stuff. But I'll watch it either way. Heh.. I wonder if they'll have Lance Bass voicing Sephiroth again.
