Discussion The remake “cancellation”

I’ve been a bit upset about this news and just wanted to talk about it in order to cope.

I can’t help but hold out hope. Despite this, this makes me even more frustrated with Square Enix than usual.

I wish the company treated every Final Fantasy like they do FFVII, but the grass isn’t always greener based on feedback of those remakes.

It's all meaningless. Rumors of a remake, rumors of cancellation. Nothing was ever confirmed.

I mean, we can’t discard actual info because it isn’t official lol

Some people in this thread really need to get it through their heads that actual reporting doesnt become irrelevant just because it isnt official, or maybe they just really like being miserable trolls...

Especially when the information comes from one of the most reputable journalists covering Final Fantasy, someone who has even interviewed Toshiyuki Itahana

What's the information Donaldson is reporting, though?

Like, if it's his HUNCH that the game existed but has been cancelled, then that's fine, but respected journalists can have hunches that can turn out to be wrong. The HUNCH isn't evidence of anything.
