Do you want a remake? - Page 29

Yeah, I'd be good with just having the same battle system with the improved graphics, but I have a feeling they would make some changes to it, and probably, pretty big ones.

I wonder if it would have a New Game Plus option when you beat it, like in Crisis Core, then all the enemies are significantly tougher.

My only concern is they add all this extra new stuff in from the Compilation. Only then would I be disappointed. A remake would have to be original as possible.

I agree, I just hope that SE doesn't think otherwise, they should realize they do not need to add a bunch of new stuff to the game to please the fans, it may please more of them if it was left alone more, and just gets updated graphics, they really shouldn't do much else with it, but one has to fear the worst...let's hope for the best though.

I wouldn't play it if they changed the battle system. I think the materia system is one of the best, and I love turn-based RPG's, which is one reason I"m not fond of newer games and also why I haven't bothered even buying a PS2.
I do like the New Game+ idea a lot though, and maybe with it they could give a way to have Aeris back into the party, and maybe delve into the storyline in any way that wasn't in the original. That way both the people that want just a remake and the people that want more additions to the game can be pleased.

New Game + would be a great addition, and I think the only things they should add to the story should be entirely optional things, such as an additional dungeon, or things that have refferences to the compilations. Either way, they should be optional, so at that rate, pretty much every fan wins.

That sounds like a good idea especially if the player gets to make choices that alter the original story a bit with alternate endings and cutscenes.

I think it would be awesome to have a remake. I mean FFVII is awesome in itself but I'd like to see it with graphics of today. Maybe make it real time like in crisis core. They say there wont be another installment, but I think they should actually make another one. Maybe one after like based on Advent Children or something after that even. FFVII was my favorite final fantasy thus far. A lot of people say 8 and I like 8, but it just didn't catch me as much as 7 did. I mean honestly I think everything after 7 and 8 just went down hill. (excluding 11 since I've yet to play it.) I think they should bring back the best of FF and make it even better.

Why wouldn't you want a remake? I voted yes just cuz it would be fun to replay the game with better graphics, game play, and added bonuses. Although, the original will always have its place in my heart.

after seeing the game intro done with "ps3 graphics" a while back, i was astounded. then i found out that there were no solid plans to remake ffvii, and got pissed off!

i would love to see a spruced up version. some things should definitely stay the same, such as the story and the dialogue (the english translation was so great, and one of the few rpg's with swearing where appropriate. this really made it something, there was no pandering to censors), the battle and materia system, and the world map layout. what would be nice is perhaps the ability to explore more of midgar, such as the upper levels where all the rich folk live, and the rest of the slums. you can explore all the other villages entirely, and i want to see the rest of midgar!

another suggestion would be to have a fully movable camera, as you would expect with ps3 technology, but also the option to fix the camera in the same positions as the ps1 version. this would keep anyone who wanted an exact (but better looking) remake happy, and also anyone who would want the opposite.

i really hope SE do remake ffvii. i haven't bought a ps3 yet, but this would change my mind!

I remember when I saw the VII trailer that they used to show the actual power of the PS3 and I must say that I almost killed over. I would absolutely love VII to be remade. Not another chapter in the story... But the game remade itself... beautiful the way that it was intended to be.
