Do you want a remake? - Page 28

I voted no: I think it would be better for them to put their energy into making something new. Obviously FFVII's graphics are very dated now, but I don't think the graphics matter. It's subjective, of course. I know I wouldn't buy a remake of VII - not just because I don't have a PS3, but because I've already got the game, and since the graphics don't matter to me, it wouldn't really be worth it. Oh, here's a cheesy line: FF14 is greater than FF7*2. Ho ho hoo.

They've already re-made many of the most important FMVs, though, haven't they? Like the one at the very end of the original game is the first FMV of Advent Children.

i would love for them to make a remake. They need to do something like they did for crisis core or advent children. It would make the story a lot more interesting.

i would sorta agree...but comparing US version of FF3 to FF7. IF FF3 was remade with the level of FFX, im pretty sure it be a way more awesome. Even if the storyline is awesomely great, the emotions,feelings,noise and music can create a HUGE impact on one sceen.

Really, I DO want a remake. As long as they actually put effort into the animation, it really wouldn't be a problem.

It would also be neat to see if they add any more 'side quests.' It just seems that, with the popularity of the FFVII franchise, it would be a waste to NOT make a game. Think of the money they'd rake in!

I know, they profit hugely by remaking it, but I can understand that it's hard to really start something like that while they currently have several projects they're already working on (two of them being Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy Versus XIII).

But after they finish what they are currently working on (or at least most of the games they are currently working on at this time), I'm anxious to see if they announce something about it, when they'll have a good amount of their staff to put to work on it.

I think pointing out how much money they'd rake in is a horrible point. In all seriousness, isn't it what we hate when a company does something just for the money? The game has much more effort put into it if they're trying for more fans, not more cash. With how it seems people have been losing interest, then if they remade 7 and it bombed, they'd lose a lot of future income.
I'd be too worried about them adding in anything else if they remade it.

Well they would be doing it for the money, I believe. Getting loads of money out of it is just what they'd want, they've already taken FFVII in all sorts of directions to draw in all the fans they want, now they just need to give us what we're asking for, and remake FFVII.

They'd most certainly like the money they'd be getting more than they'd care for whatever more fans it brings in (which, I must say, may not be as much as you think, it should just be the original Final Fantasy VII, but with much better graphics).

Those greedy money grubbing Square Enix staff will do anything to make a good buck... >_>

@ Doaj, pointing out the money they make isn't really a bad point, because pretty much every company does these things for money...and it doesn't really bug people. Besides, if it was for money, then that would only be a better reason to put effort into the game, else people will just think "I'll just stick with my original version then,"

As for myself, yeah, I'd love to see a remake, I wouldn't mind replaying the game with up to date graphics, even more breathtaking FMVs, and character facial emotion will be a bonus. And I wouldn't mind a few side missions added that connect to FF7's compilations...I wouldn't mind seeing what happened to Cissnei.But, I hope they don't add to much to the main plot.

I, personally, don't think it would be nearly as much trouble as starting making a new game from scratch, they would already have their characters for it, and they would already have the storyline, that's a huge head start, should shorten required development time by taking the thought process part of it out.

There would just be updating the character models and the overall graphics to be worthy of being graphically good enough to be a PS3 title, update the music, and possibly, if they would bother themselves enough to do it, and thought it best, change the battle system to being more like Crisis Core (excluding the annoying slots for a lot of actions.

).

Yeah, them having the plot in mind and all that, it would probaly all be a matter of redoing the graphics, character models, setting updating the music and whatnot.
