Do you want a remake? - Page 15

January 4, 2008, 12:02 AM

Yes and No.
I would like to see it remade so that the graphics are a lot better and also to add voice acting, however, I wouldn't want them to change anything apart from that because that is what made VII so great.
Either way I would rather see and play XIII over a VII remake.

A remake would be sweet. Dialogue could stay the same basically, but be expanded in parts where it would benefit the game to have more conversation and stuff like that. S-E could extend certain parts of the game that would've been fun to see more of (Gongaga Reactor, Costa Del Sol, etc.).

However, it would be (as many other people have said) unwise to change the overall plot and flow of the game just because it's a remake. Basically, just keep the foundation of the game the same and make some tweaks to improve gameplay, and it would be golden.

Plus, I love the voice actor for Cloud. Mmm. :]

You know part of the greatness of this was that parts of the storyline were incomplete. This is why there has been so much discussion spawned about 7's storyline. Ideas that people have had about why thats there or whats the explanation for that. All the answers are there for the other game so less speculation has come of them.

Lordy, Dazz made a good post? I'm in shock xD

I'd have to agree. One thing that sorely disappointed me about AC is that, well, everyone was alive. It did away with that whole debate/theory that Holy and the lifestream had wiped humans off the planet. Getting rid of speculations and theories isn't always the best thing to do, it takes the fun out of things. If VII was remade it'd probably be thorough enough to kill anything else we could have for speculating.

I've been saying that all along!

Though I think that's also why so many people would want a remake, not just the graphics. I'm not sure if I'd like the story to be completely told, it would take away from some of the loveable ambiguities of it all.

I'll guess I'll take that as a compliment...Yeah OK some parts could be finished like some of those unused items that seem to be there for no reason could be given some use in the game such as 1/34 soldier (Or whatever fraction they were) or masamune/marasame that you can win at gold saucer. But I'd rather they didn't as they would probably get carried away.

well i think im the only person in the whole freakin world that thinks this but i didnt like that the story waz incomplete. i hate endings like that and i didnt like that so much waz left out. i wouldnt mind if they extended some scenes or added more. and u may so omg how can she say that. they original is better than any remake, but the original had lots of problems, like the incorrect translation of aerith's name and mispelled words and just the fact that they didnt go into detail on a lot of the important subjects like zacks death. ff7s my favorite game and i think adding new scenes will only make it better, not worse.

What they mean by incomplete is that some of the story they intended to be included didn't make the final product because they rushed the release. Hense why some of the translation doesn't make sense or why some plot points come up without explanation. However I find that this just adds to the overall charm of the game.

I'm actually sat on the fence over that now, whether I like the rushed incomplete story as it is or whether I want them to make it complete in a remake. Gosh, my head hurts!! It's such an awesome game as it is, completing it would either make it more enjoyable or just kill it.

Though I do think they should do something about those unfinished sidequests...
