Read my title . . . I'm would kill for a FFVII remake, bet you if a FFVII remake was to come out on the PS3 ppl would go out and get one . . . I would

Wooooo my first post!

Right well, if they do remake it better graphics are a must as well as voice acting and music. but IMO heres how I think things should be handled:

Story - the main one. keep it the same! but with minor changes (Barrets @%$&# speaking) that could be fixed with simple curse words. refs to genisis and angeal but only really in passing not necassary by name. more of a hint to see the Zack flashback, maybe cloud wants to visit the mansion again or something.

Overworld - hmmmm more little locations like banora ruins or modeoheim and it should kinda be like XII or X how you run from local to local but not so linear and more open (come on its the ps3!)

Battles - face it squeenix has said turn based is gone (bar VS XIII) and its all real time, IMO i love the real time i thought XII had it albeit some minor flaws but possibly with XIII thatd be fixed. hp mp should be much more than 9999 no break hp i hate that, why limit to 9999?

Difficulty - now sidequests were fine (Keep the stamina cheat for the races!) but my main problem was with the final battle with sephy, one knights of the round. dead. too easy, he sould at least be a bastard make him like yizamat or whatever in XII tons of hp and rapes your characters like a mothersucka.

Like other people have said, i would love a remake of FFVII, but only do the graphics up and do their emotions and basically make them look almost real, so i say "Bring it on"

I would be all for a remake, and I won't be surprised if we get one, though I don't actually expect it any time soon. It was be nice to play the game with good graphics, because, lets be honest here, FF7's graphics have not aged well.

Anyway, I found this online a while back, some fan made it, but its cool all the same...

Not sure.

There are so many pros and cos IMO, but the main thing I'm worried about is if they try to modernise it too much.

If they made the battle system like XII, seriously I would not be happy. And also, if the story was changed around a lot, I don't think I'd like it.

But seeing FFVII revamped and having the decent graphics it deserves would be great. I can just imagine playing it on the PS3 - It would be so cool!
But aslong as they didn't go messing up the story loads.

If it was remade, I'd want the game mechanics to be exactly the same, and all the old items that were in the original to be in exactly the same places. This is extremely anal, I know, but I know I wouldn't be the only person who would moan if the game wasn't how they remembered it.

I'd like the camera to flow when in towns and stuff, in a FFX sort of way. I understand that if it was remade, it would almost certainly have voice-overs, and if they used the same ones as Advent Children, I'd be ok with it.

On the one hand, I could say "no, I don't want a remake", I mean, look at my list of criteria which will almost certainly NOT be fullfilled. But on the other hand, I am kinda curious about it , so I voted 'not sure'.

TBH, I don't think FFVII has aged all that badly. I think FFIV and FFVI had great storylines and stuff, and these would make better remakes, FFVI in particular. It would be epic with modern graphics, imagine Magitek armour suits stomping across the map in that open sequence!

Also, if FFIV, FFVI or even VII was remade, does anyone think SE should include the original version on the game disc? Surely even FFVII would only take up a fraction of a PS3 disc.

i'm all for a remake because even if it is crap the original is still there to be played but if it's awesome, we got a new game to play over and over and over again.

By the way I think the graphics in FFVII are awesome (not on the characters, in the areas) the graphics help create the atmosphere the game has.

I would want a remake. i don't care if they change some stuff around as long as it doesn't have crisis core battle system ill be happy.
i think they will make it though after watching the crisis core secret ending...

I'd love a remake! I was really excited when I first heard the rumour. But only if the story and game-play stay exactly the way it was in the original. I'd hate to see things get replaced because some Square guy had a "great idea to make Final Fantasy 7 better!". Urgh! I'd also hate to see a FF12 battle system for FF7. No no no....!

I hope they do go ahead with it. The preview of the FF7 opening for the PS3 was stunning! But I think if they did remake it, there will always be a group of fans who would hate it, even if it was as brilliant as the first. But if they mess it up there will always be the original. But I would hate to see FF7 ruined because it's my favourite.
