i think that if they make a remake it will improve the game on a whole but the story will be the same so relli your buying the game again but for a differnt conslole so ppl may think oh i played this allready even if its been redone its still the same.
it would eb better to make a story after what happed on ff7 like advent child but for a console

I wouldn't mind playing it if they made a new one. It'd be interesting to see what the game experience would be like with newer graphics. I'd only be worried if they didn't use the same voice actors from AC. I guess I'm used to hearing them sound like that, even in Dirge they have the same voice actors. I just know that if they do remake this game, so many people are going to go crazy over it. It'd be nice to know that they wouldn't try to mess anything up from the original though.

I don't think Square would be stupid enough to make radical changes based on the success of the game.

Uhhh I beg to differ. Square Soft wouldn't do changes, but Square Enix will. The game isn't owned by Sakaguchi anymore. New developers can do whatever the hell they want with Final Fantasy VII, and they already have.

They already added two major characters to the Final Fantasy VII story, Genesis and Angeal. Not to mention all of the minor characters Square Enix has already added to the Final Fantasy VII plot.

I wouldn't say Square Enix will drastically change the entire plot of FFVII. I'm sure that SE will add references and characters mentioning Genesis, Angeals, and possibly other characters that were in Crisis Core.

Oh lord no. There are elements of FFVII that make it a classic, one of the greatest games of the last decade. If SquareEnix were to remake it, judging from what they've done so far, it wouldn't go well at all. They'd likely change the dialogue to get rid of any mis-translations that there's been. They'd add and remove things to the plot so as to avoid confusion. They'd probably even clean up the "who does Cloud love?" debate, just to make some more money out of it.
If the original team that worked on FFVII ten years ago were to get together and work on it, then that might be better, but again they'd probably alter the story to help avoid any confusion that has come about. The intricity of the plot is all part of the beauty of the game, as is the blocky graphics and translation errors. It all boils to down "if it 'aint broke, don't fix it."
Oh lord, please don't fix it. D:

I hope you're not suggesting that Enix had something to do with the decline with FF, I've always looked at them as the better of the two when they were separate.

I've never been too keen on a remake and especially now after their constant milking of the original game, of course since it will make money then SE will always consider it as an option since there is still a large amount of fanboys and the like not willing to believe the slight possibility that there is better out there ten years on from the original release.

And a thing I'll guarantee since it happens to almost every remake is you'll be disappointed in it because something would be missing and it won't live up to most peoples expectations. It won't be the same game since you'll know what is coming up so the important events that made the original legendary in some eyes won't have the same effect anymore.

.... My answer changes every single time somebody asks me. So I'm just gonna say I'm not sure.

November 3, 2007, 9:05 PM

crap, i pressed yes...

I meant not sure-

I would love a remake of the game, but only if they changed absolutely NONE of the story, as that for me would ruin the game

Can't really say that I want a remake :/ I didn't mind the graphics that much, it was the story that enticed me the most, plus we all got to see the all in AC so the graphics can't be more impressive then that.

All I see in this remake is a commercial thing, get as much money off of FFVII as they can :/

No, I want to remember it exactly as it was! Graphics don't make a jot of difference to me as long as the game is good. And also looking back at it with fondly retro eyes, the graphics were a huge part of the charm of the game.
