Final Fantasy VII Remake - Page 61

Perhaps a re-release of the original game, so that the game isn't so hard for people to obtain anymroe would be better than a remake. Perhaps a new edition re-release?
That way the integrity of the original won't be lost, and it will allow many more gamers to experience the game...

My worry is that now, because FF7 is so hard to obtain for people (my freinds are after it, and buying it on the internet is so damn expensive), that people will turn to the remake and then feel that they don't need to play the original FF7...
If the remake is at a similar standard to Crisis Core, then that is a very worrying thing indeed. IMO.

I really hope they don't remake it, then i'd have to buy a PS3/360 which I really don't want to have to do haha...I'm happy with my PS1 and playing VII & VIII to death over and over.

If they do remake it, however, I'd call for a change in absolutely nothing except for graphical detail. Keep everything else the same as in the original, poorly translated script and all!

If a remake ever does get made, Square Enix must know not to change much and just make improvements. Updated graphics, voice acting, that's pretty much it. Maybe make slight references to Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus to connect everything accordingly. Everything else should remain the same (battle system, main storyline, etc). However, I personally doubt that we will ever see a PS3 remake of FFVII. There just isn't time. SE is busy with the FFXIII compilation and when they're finally done, they're probably going to take a well deserved break before getting back to Kingdom Hearts. A friend of mine thinks this "Big FFVII Announcement" is a PS3 exclusive RPG sequel to FFVII. He says maybe instead of Sephiroth the gang has to deal with Genesis this time around. Could be possible, the original crew that made FFVII wouldn't neccesarily be required to do a sequel and they can still have an impact on a sequel without being directly involved. My guess as to what this announcement will be, the original FFVII being made available for download on the Playstation Network ($14.99?).

So much for the big announcement, it didn't happen :(

The announcement is supposedly going to be made in early August at Square Enix's own yearly event (I forget what its called).

I'd love to see a remake, I already have a PS3, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy it, being as big of a fan of the Final Fantasy series as I am.

If it does happen, it may not be for quite a while, and I'm willing to wait, there's certainly plenty of fun games to play until that time may come.

Once Christmas rolls around, I'll have MGS4 to play, but unfortunately, as much as I want it, no sooner. But it isn't too far off, more than half of the year is already past, it's seemed to go by so quickly.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for that announcement in early August, but not get my hopes up too much, it could just be a letdown...

Even though I do believe in not messing with a classic, I can't see them messing it up, because they aren't idiots. Square knows what they are doing and if they did decide to add anything new I can only seeing it improving the game if possible.

I myself am looking forward to a remake, and I'm pretty sure they will get around to it, if not for a while.

I dont know... It depends on whether they do it on the same level as Crisis Core was.... As if they do that.. Then it realy will be messed up.

Personally I don't see a reason for a remake... Everyone likes the game already, it's not like they need to remake it to get people into it.
The game couldn't be made better realy, not without the original team behind it and the bringing back of many FF elements that have been lost recently...

Yes, I think the chances of there someday being a remake are quite high, but I wouldn't expect it to happen anytime soon, for all we know, it could be well over a decade from now.

I see where you are coming from, but if you have noticed that Zack is rapidly becoming more popular than Cloud, I think it has to do with due to the lack of voice acting and realistic graphics, you didn't get as attached to the characters in FFVII as you did in Crisis Core.

I think if you can make the characters more realistic, it will shift people's views and they will be able to relate more to the original characters. Emotions will be intensified and the game will simply be more enjoyable.
