Plus, the soundtrack may also decline in quality from the magical melodies of FF7 to become a hybrid of forgettable tracks and pretty ok mixes of FF7 tracks like Crisis Core seemed to be.

I accuarly agree abit there. I wouldn't want the music to be messed up because I like the orignal versions much more than some that are new. Crisis Core music seemed to be messed up when I listened to Aerith's theme, Turks theme and One winged angel on YouTube. I also agree with the scene issue you have pointed out.

On an upward point, it'd be amazing if they did because i'd like to see what they have done to some scenes and what they look like. I'd especially enjoy when Cloud has to dress up, lmao. ^.^
I really, really wish they wouldn't mess the music up because I didn't think One winged angel was good in CC.

Personally I would love to see a Final Fantasy VII remake, as long as they didn't go overboard and completely change the storyline to the point that the story seemed more like an alternate take on it.

Agreed. The story-line makes FF7. Thats why it's so popular. Take that away and you've got nothing.

MAKE IT!! NOW!!

And also, I wish they wouldn't tease us with the PS3 tech because HELL, it looked AMAZING!

I think that bringing out a remake will tarnish the games reputation, I mean they have done it enough with Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus, I just don't think they should do anymore with it. You guys say you want a remake but you know what will happen, some people will start to complain that its nothing like the original etc.

So please just leave it as it is now. It's been ruined enough.

Yes I do. But they should not change the story in anway at all. Or they should come up with another story with thew same charactors. I know so much about them!!! I know people that cried when Aeris died. Maybe they should do voice-overs but I think we all have a different opinion to how they sound like and that could spoil it for some people for example if Barret had I high pitched voice. The sound effects should also be improved.

I'd definitely like to see a remake of Final Fantasy VII, but it should be just that; a remake. It's story shouldn't be changed, FFVII is one of my favourite FF games, FFVIII is my favourite, but that's already got good graphics for a PS1 game.

A graphically improved, nostalgic feeling, yet fresh experience from a FFVII remake, and hopefully, also with good music like the original, that would be nice.

Basically just an update in graphics... Thats all I would like if they realy HAD to do it... I'd prefer them not too.. As there is little point.

But we all know they probably will do more than just a graphic boost, and mess with the music, gameplay elements that made the original fantastic.

I would rather have a new final fantasy but really i would also love a remake.

I continue to see spin-off after spin-off of this game releasing to the public: Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, Advent Children...yet all I want to see is a remake of the original. Something to revamp it and give it the style it truly deserves.

Now don't get me wrong; the remakes (well, most of them) are great, but they just...just don't fill that Final Fantasy VII craving that I desire. Stop making spin-offs of the original and focus on the original, that's my opinion. I moment I see that remake hit store shelves, I'm gonna be on "Cloud" 9.

...

Okay, I admit it. That play-on-words sucked...

Some of you fail to realize that it would require more than just a graphical face-lift. The mechanics altogether would have to be redone. You wouldn't want this beautiful game with stunning graphics to move slower than molasses would you? The original game while I love it dearly is incredibly slow, and consider that Cloud and Sephiroth as are the majority of Final Fantasy VII's characters are meant to be swift and I don't think using the same mechanics from the original would be too appealing for a remake.

The original is a GREAT game and I as well as the rest of the world would be severely upset if Square were to remake Final Fantasy VII and not put 1000% into it's development. I see no need to rush the process should Square ever decide to actually remake VII. In fact I would want them to take their sweet ass time during it;s development and make sure it's twice the game the original was. I would rather it take four years to develop than for them to just throw it all together and get it out the door.

Well, if they just improve the graphics, make the characters move faster etc (sorry, but I don't study graphics and dont quite get what you are getting at)... But keep story elements, map elements, scene elements, music elements.. In fact.. Just leave the game alone!

I agree with Mr Bombface, if remade, it would be more than just the graphics that they would overhaul. The music would get an update to the more rock-orientated style of the recent versions (which I personally love by the way), and more importantly, I can't see them retaining the old battle system. They would make it more fast-paced like Advent Children / Crisis Core. However, they know that there would be an uproar if it wasn't still ATB-ish, and you get to control your group. This is why I think FFXIII's system will be quite interesting to see, since it's a faster ATB style, and they might even use that as a basis.
