if theys make the remake of Final Fantasy VII just like the orginal just with better graphic it will be the best one of all im sure but i heard rumors abou it that it will come out for psp like FFVIICC and KH3 so i hope it will be PS3

It won't happen. Really can't see it being remade, too many people speculated over the tech demo for the PS3, probably the only reason this is under discussion. If they were going to remake it, I seriously doubt they'd have used it for a tech demo.

Well with this "big announcement for FF7" coming up, I have to admit I've had my hopes up very high that we'd get the news of a remake. Taking in to consideration how many other projects SE has atm though, I'm just not sure it's going to happen.. At least not for a good couple of years.

Anyhow, I stumbled across this interesting article all about how FF7 will not be coming to the PS3, or so the author thinks. Take a look:

I have to admit that he has a point, but I'm still going to keep hoping that we did indeed get a remake one day.

Actually, there's numerous reasons why this has been in discussion for so long. First was the technical demo, then you have the FFVII Compilation ending in the most recent Crisis Core, you've had various statements stating that SE would consider working on a FFVII remake if the original team could get back together and after recent projects are finished (i.e FFXIII), and of course, the various ports and remakes (which we are currently up to what, 4 on the DS? So 5 is up next). Now, you have this huge bombshell that FFXIII is going on the 360 as well. Not to mention that the game itself has the hugest fan base.

All of this together, continues to hint very strongly that a remake will come. It's only a matter of time. And the amount of profit that they'd make from it (whether it would be cross-platform or not) would be huge.

The problem is, who from the original team will be left? After Nomura has finished whoring Advent Children and gone back to working on FFXIII Versus he plans to leave the Final Fantasy side of SE and continue working on the Kingdom Hearts series.
Even then the FFXIII compilation is set to last 10 years and a remake of VII would be a huge and unnecessary project which means pulling people out of the XIII compilation to work on it.

It depends what you mean by unneccessary. A lot of newer fans to the series simply have no access to a game that is often heralded as the 'best', there is a huge margin of profit for SE on such a move, and they have stated that the FFVII compilation would last another decade as well.

Personally, if it means pulling people out of the remaining XIII compilation (once XIII and Versus is out), I have no problem at all in them doing this for last installment to the FFVII saga and making a remake.

To be honest I think a remake would be a pointless waste of time... If i wanted to play FF7 again, I'd simpyl pick up the original and play it...
They don't NEED to do a remake for FF7 as the graphics were 3d, and not realy that bad... Plus the graphics sort of suited the game....
If they remake FF7 the worst thing they can do is to make it like Crisis Core, which is sadly probably the route they may go.

Truth is, FF7 was excellent the way it is, it doesnt need spicing up.

In response to this, how long ago was the Tech demo made? If they were planning to make a remake at the time of the technical demo, don't you think they would've finished and released it by now?

I haven't played through Crisis Core yet, so can't respond.

The first line of this completely contradicts the first thing you said. In what way would the tech demo be a hint of a remake if months after they say they'd "consider" making a remake? The remakes of the older games don't really mean anything either. They're just being brought into 3D, FFVII was already make in 3D, so it doesn't need to follow suit, and if your believe it will be remade because the older ones are, then would you say they'd carry on remaking them up to number XII? Ofcourse you wouldn't, so that's just completely invalid.

And how exactly does XIII being released on the 360 bare any argument for a VII remake? The fan base is huge, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Don't get me wrong I'd love a remake, but I really don't believe it'll ever happen.

You're misquoting me. You mentioned that the technical demo alone was not enough reason for a discussion or hint that a FFVII remake would be possible or could be coming in the future. I've responded by showing you everything that has happened then and since, and that it's all building up towards an announcement that they will be working on it, not that they have been already.

As for your last comment about not understanding the 360 situation. The reason why they are making XIII cross-platform in the first place is because the game will reach a larger fan-base, and they will make a huger profit from it. A FFVII remake would be viable enough just on the PS3 console, but if they are really going to utilize profit from this (as well as reaching both first time players and new ones) they would really need to make it cross-platform.
