My opinion is this:

If they made a remake I would buy it, but to make a remake now would honestly take way to much time and money for them to fork out. So I don't see it happeneing in the next year or two, maybe down the line though.

If they remake the game.. up the graphics.. and that's it.

DON'T CHANGE THE STORY LINE, COMBAT SYSTEM, ADD SUMMONS!! everything was perfect the first time, by changing the smallest of things you could really mess this game up.

Also when they say remake, please don't say change the storyline, that means an entirely new game. We don't need anymore FF VII spin offs.

Thumbs up

FF7 for PSX was a great game. I would like to see a remake of it. PS3 graphics would make the summons more awesome looking, not to mention the towns and boss fights(Weapon). They also may add some new side-quests and items.

Personally, my opinion has changed quite recently... I wish I could take back that vote... A FF7 remake by Squeenix would be hell. D: They'd screw everything over just to make all the spin-offs look legit. :/

I would like to see a remake, if it was in the spirit of the other Nintendo DS remakes. I don't know that the DS would be the right platform for a FF7 remake though. The PSP would probably be a good choice, and I would even buy a PSP for that remake.

Also, since I only own the PC version of this game, I would LOVE to see a PC remake of it. Not a lot needs to be done even, just update the textures from 8-bit to something modern graphics cards can use, and work better on XP and Vista out of the box.

I think it would be a nice idea to remake Final Fantasy VII just as they have remade the earlier ones for the DS. However, I would only enjoy this if they remade VIII and IX too because it's obvious that although VII is a good game, it gets a lot more attention and if it deserves to get remade then so do VIII and IX

I would love a remake but only if they didnt ruin the story, dont get rid of the world map, dont change the battle system and use the voice actors from FF:AC

Well that would be what a remake would be, if they changed the storyline then it technically wouldn't be the same game, it'd be a completely separate version

Eh. I would only want a remake if they kept it the same story and script wise, and ONLY revamped the graphics. Perhaps the music, too; making it more "orchestrated" (for lack of a better word?) and less "video game synth" sounding. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the music, but it would be odd to have a great looking game with old music, haha.

If they started deviating from the story/script... no. Just no. So, I vote Not Sure.

The thing is that they would almost definitely change the script to include references to all the things that have been included in the spin offs such as Genesis, Angeal and Deepground. So the extremity of these changes would determine whether or not the quality of a remake would differ from that of the original.

Personally I am not a HUGE fan of the original (I did enjoy it but it certainly isn't my favorite FF) but one thing that does annoy me is the fact that the spin off's (particularly Crisis Core) have affected the original story, I mean in the original, Genesis didn't even exist let alone appear at Nibelheim, and I definately would not want a remake to feature Genesis in the slightest way.

However, If a remake was to be made I would definately buy it (I would rather see it made in a few years though so they can focus on NEW projects) and if it did happen to feature a new storyline it isn't the end of the world and any fanboy who doesn't want thier precious FFVII tainted can STFU and just play the original.

So to summarize I really couldn't care less if they Remake VII, I would rather see SE come up with some new material rather than focus on a good game they made 10 years ago. But if they do remake it I will buy it and (hopefully) enjoy it.
