Yes i would actually, but only under these conditions:

Firstly, it would have to be a perfect copy of the game, as in soundtrack, script and battle system, i want a remake, not a different game.
However i could live with the battle system from FF XII if it was fixed and more exciting.
I would like the whole materia system to stay.
The cutscenes could obviously be changed because the PS3 can do a lot more that the PSone.
No mention of Advent Children or Crisis Core, or anything new, god no.

This is a question I've been torn over, yet am leaning more towards 'no' for several reasons. From what I've seen of the Compilation, disregarding Crisis Core (because I loved it), I would have to say I'd rather not see a remake as the game is just fine as it is now. The only thing I would want them to change would be the graphics; however, with these more recent installments, Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, BC, LO, etc...I'm pretty sure graphics wouldn't be the only thing they'd change, which is where I find myself becoming rather wary about it.

If they did decide to do a remake, they would literally remake it. And that's not what I want to see done to Final Fantasy VII. In fact, I hope they decide to stick to their guns on debunking these rumors and preserve the game in all its glory rather than to fix it up, make it look pretty, put in a few things here and there, get those horrible English voice actors to reprise their roles, yadda yadda yadda, so on and so forth and just turn it into one big messy pile of crap.

I don't want to see my favorite game go south just so Square can make a few more bucks off this franchise! It'd probably even cater more to the n00bs who have not yet played the game and started out seeing Advent Children instead. ;( Don't do this to us vets, Square. PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU!

I would love to see a remake, but I would rather have it on PSP than PS3 =/

A lot of PS1 games are getting ported to the PSP, so why not Final Fantasy VII? It would sell well on the PSP... =D

But please don't mention anything like Advent Children or Crisis Core in the FF7 remake...

RPG’s are less likely to spawn remakes because lamentably, it’s a fairly niche genre. But yes, I’d like to see an FFVII remake, as long it was totally untouched except for the visuals and music. I would genuinely play it all again just to see my favorite locations in glorious 3D. Imagine how the Gold Saucer would look with the powerful graphics of the PS3? It would just be awesome. To make the remake ace though, they would need to completely overhaul the battle-system. The random battles and the turn-based battle system in FFVII have become old and tedious; a Kingdom Hearts style fighting system would work extremely well.
But yeah, the game is awesome, it deserves a modern day remake.

I would really like to see a remake of the final fantasy VII game for any system really but i would want them to make the game have a new storyline not to change the old one but a new story thats happened after the first FFVII keep most of the old characters and maybe add in some new cool characters and some cool new features like new classes, items, spells, limit breaks, and all sorts of other things that would jazz up the game and keep old FFVII players wondering what will happen next?!?!?

Come on. Who wouldn't buy a remake of Final Fantasy 7!?


Seriously, Final Fantasy 7 is considered the best Final Fantasy game out there by a lot of fans. I think players who missed the chance to play Final Fantasy 7 would buy the game, definitely. Also, I would love to see it in latest graphics, the Before Crisis graphics got me all hyped! And of course, a new and better battle system.


Some more background information/side quests/characterization can take place, I think. I think it would be awesome.

Personally, i would not want to see a remake. The game is perfect as it is. Square has done enough with FF7 as it is. Honestly, if they spent less time with vii they could make their future ff games better they would have been.

Not to mention it would attract all the noobs who have never played an FF game before because the graphics were bad. Then they would be like "Ya im a total hardcore FF fan!!!"

Also, on a final note i think it would be cool if they spent more time on their other francizes. And yes, i am aware of the Chrono Trigger remake which i am flipping excited for.
