Am I the only one who thinks they should have a FFVII remake? OF COURSE NOT! We want this game remade, don't make us wait, and stop making games that we don't really care and aren't that excited about (Final Fantasy 12 for example.) It's nice to see a new approach and view point for Final Fantasy games, but come on, let's redo the classic, the one and only Final Fantasy VII!!! Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, and the others need a remake, and so do I! Don't get me wrong, I love the original, it's awesome, but a remake would be great! Imagine the graphics and summons now, on ps3 or 360...OH YEAH! That's all for now!
ugh...
I'd love to see a remake too, but sequels are more important. FFXIII FTW!!!
FFXIII does look great!
I know man, I just wish I would see a FFVII remake in my lifetime!
You will. Square's FFVII
You will. Square's FFVII Compilation plan is supposed to last until 2017 (20th anniversary) I'm willing to bet we'll see one eventually.
NICE!
Thanks for the info man, much appreciated! I can't wait!
Meh
FF sequels aren't the same without Sakaguchi, the original creator/director (his last FF title was X-2). Since he left, the closest game I've seen that has the right feel from the series is FFIV:The After Years.
yeah! the FFVII remake is
yeah! the FFVII remake is something that nearly every ffvii fan wants...and square enix knows it too! especially since they teased us with that ps3 tech demo. but yeah, if they do end up doing it, I just hope they dont redo the gameplay and try to implement a new battle system or something.
Well, having played their recent FF remakes...
...it seems to me as if S/E's approach to remakes these days is to break everything that didn't need fixing. If FF7 does get a remake, I'll expect the graphics to be the only actual improvement. It would also probably be safe to expect 50 more hours of required grinding, needlessly redone combat/growth systems, and probably some non-sensical additions to the story.
And possibly some bad ideas from their more recent games like FF12's fake Shakespearean English. Or FF Tactics Advance's (and Crisis Core's) hundreds of lazily designed "optional sidequests" ("disguised grindfests" would be a more accurate term).
Of course, S/E might prove me wrong. But if not, I'll probably just stick to the original PSX game...
Done!
The PS3 already has an ff7 remake!
WHAT WHAT WHAT!!!
That is the dumbest thing i ever heard, i'm sorry
but saying they should redo FF7 is like saying they should redo starwars.
It was a pinnicle of awesomeness then and messing with it now would alter the space time continuim.
Reskinning would be an awful idea, it wouldn't be the same seeing eveything "smooth" and "realistic", i know i'm not making valid points but thats because i'm so dumbfounded by the fact you want something as trivial of graphics improved.
i'm all for re-release but reskinning?
EDIT: -12 Jerry bucks!

I know, i do feel kinda torn
I know, i do feel kinda torn between what i want, cuz it would be cool to see a remake...but then on the other hand there is the possibility that they'll screw it up, so in the end I'm happy either way cuz nothings gonna change how great the original is...at least in my eyes :]

Hello there
Hey man I wasn't looking for an argument, just wanted to state that I am a HUGE fan of FFVII and that a remake would be really cool, that is all. I don't want to start arguments and fights with people, I'm not about that. I do agree FFVII was a classic and I love the game in it's entirety, just saying with what they can do now, it'd be nice to see a remake someday, that is all.
Dude...
You can't possible think you're the first person to have this idea right? People were asking for an FFVII remake when the Playstation TWO came out. I really doubt it's ever gonna happen. I don't think Square has done that with any games, only re-releases
They already addressed this issue
The only way they said a remake will be done is if the entire original team is willing to do it. That statement was followed by them saying it will probably not happen, then followed by the guy saying that Crisis Core came about because half the team thought it was a good idea one weekend. Sooooo, it may happen, but only if enough of the team gets onboard.

Be careful what you wish
Be careful what you wish for. FF7's outdated JRPG gameplay and hours of grinding haven't aged well.
"Hours of grinding"? That
"Hours of grinding"? That was sarcasm, right?
Surely there can't actually be someone so bad at RPGs they had to grind just to beat a game as easy as FF7...
Square-Enix...
...Are a bunch of money grubbing bastards. Of course they'll remake FFVII. Just as they made a Compilation. They know that all the girls who have seen Cloud's pretty boy face in AC and others are gonna buy it, and they know that gamers will buy it cause well it was a good game. Not the best game of all time evar arr! But yeah a good game... I for one wouldn't buy it, even if I had a console. I'd wait for the FFIX Remake!!!
There is 1 in six billion chances that you are me... Totally awesome right?
Who gave you the right to
Who gave you the right to speak for anyone but yourself? FF12 was better than FF7 be leaps and bounds. 12's story was coherent. FF7 was angsty tripe.
Woah!
Dude, settle, I don't want to argue with you about a video game, I wasn't trying to speak for the world of gamers and Final Fantasy VII. I guess I just miss the classic turned base style of Final Fantasy games, if you enjoyed FF12, that's totally cool with me, I was just saying that they changed everything around so much in that game, it just didn't feel the same for me, it was like a MMORPG that wasn't online, but again if you liked it man, that's cool with me, we good?
