Second, I doubt they would keep the script the same and just redo it with new graphics. The story and characters of VII has been expanded and changed since VII's original release. I'd guess they'd want to include a bunch of those changes in the script for a VII remake.

I totally agree. I still like playing ATB battles in the Pre-X titles, but I believe they've said before that they believe a Pre-X combat system with modern graphics would seem boring. They'd expand dialogue too and while I think that could be great, any changes would bother some people. They might even want to add some features that the current western audience would enjoy like some gunplay mini-games for Vincent and/or Barret and add that to Golden Saucer.

It could be amazing, or it could disappoint a lot of people and tarnish the FFVII brand. I'd like to see a fun remake that's true to the original and has gameplay that makes Final Fantasy the game to beat like it was when it came out - particularly VII.

That being said though, save it for the PS4. It'll be out and still fairly new on the 20th anniversary. Square should wrap up its current projets so they can get to work on everything they can without a PS4 dev kit. People will wait a year or two if they know VII is coming back and Square is good at trickling out little morsels of information, but they won't wait until the PS4 is on the latter end of its lifecycle.

What I'd like to see as opposed to a remake (because as I said, a remake will never be excatly what you want to be) is a sequel RPG. Make Final Fantasy VII-2. They could bring Genesis and/or Weiss back. They could get Cloud and Tifa together (finally) etc... I think most fans woul dbe more accepting of a new story and a new battle system within a new game rather then changes being made to the original.

They'd have to change gameplay, script, and the story a little bit.

It would be more like a 2nd edition instead of a "remake", which might actually make it better. Think about Advent Children and the Complete version. The Complete version was better than the original! That's how I see a "FF7 Remake".

Aeris would be changed to Aerith like it was originally supposed to be, they'd have to give Zack a bigger role because of Crisis Core, and I would really like if they changed the script because frankly, with all the errors with the translation in FF7, they would have to so the dialogue would flow a little better with the voices. The famous Sephiroth scene, for example, sounded better in Crisis Core than the original, in my opinion.

So much for "20 years of Final Fantasy VII". Come on Square, I wouldn't mind at all if you were to have closed the VII series after Crisis Core, but don't outright lie to us all about the future of the series. I do agree with hunterslasher and others though, they should seriously get their games released first. I was going to say "it's a complete joke", but nothing is less funny to me to be honest. I am genuinely bored of waiting, or maybe I'm just in a bad mood.

Holy crap! i forgot they mentioned that a few years ago! I almost feel betrayed now (still not as betrayed as I felt with Capcom though)

I seriously don't know if Nomura is trying to troll us on purpose... first asking for more time on Versus (saying we wont be seeing things for a while, or at least supposedly not at E3) and NOW they bring up VII remakes... *sigh* It's like they're asking for the fan's flames.... >.> I do agree that they should get whatever they announced in terms of new games out of the way first but man, what the heck are you up to Nomura? D: :/

actually, thinking about it, there has been a lot of talk from SE over the past couple of years regarding an FF7 remake. mostly saying it's not happening or it would take 20 years or so to make it (I still call BS on that one), but after doing some thinking about it, I'm almost getting suspicious

::EDIT:: and on top of it, people have within the past year started talking about how they want a remake or sequel of 8 instead (just something interesting to point out)

---

I'd like to see 3, 5 and 6 get a 3DS or Vita release with the same makeover that 1, 2 and 4 got for the PSP.

Not going to happen, but a guy can dream, right?

Come on Square Enix, I'm ready and rearing to throw my money at you.

Note: I don't really care about FFIII, it's there for the sake of completion.


On topic, I'm actually surprised they haven't done a VII remake by now. VII is one of their fattest cash cows, the fact that they're not taking this opportunity to capitalise on it is unusual.

Yeah, I'd like a FF7 remake, but ever since I discovered MMOs I've also wanted one where you're a member of SeeD. I haven't given much thought as to how it would work though, it might be a terrible idea XD

Am I the only one who doesn\'t care either way if a remake happens? I have FF7 for PlayStation and it\'s on PSN if I can\'t play that for whatever reason. It\'s just another example of people holding on to the past and hating FF\'s evolution. Make new games Square. Your only mistakes in the series were making MMOs that no one cares about and having poor stories for the 13 series. Take on less projects and put more focus into stories and gameplay like you did through FF12.
