They just didn't get as much hype and weren't as wanted a FFVII remake is. Besides, the graphical difference is little, and they are probably more easily available over the internet than a PS game is.

Someone said that people who cite graphics as a reason they don't play the originals is not a legit excuse since he/she has no problems with the earlier FFs, like the SNES ones. That's not true, FFVII's graphics are bad enough for someone used to PS3 quality graphics to be dissapointed. There's a very large difference between good looking sprites and bad looking models.

Someone else also said that "any proper FF fan knows the PS FFs are the best". While the PS FFs were good, I am certain they weren't nearly as good as the SNES ones. Any "proper" FF fan would agree with me too, I believe.

Now, how I believe they should handle a FFVII remake?
-Make it double Blu-Ray if necessery. If you are gonna make a game as alrge as FFVII with graphics like the ones on the tech demo, a single Blu-Ray might just not cut it.
-Add extras. Not too much, but a little bit more dialogue, a little bit more treasures... And taking the preFFVII remakes road, an extra dungeon or two. Square has shown the capability of doing this, and doing it good.
-A new, more accurate translation. I doubt FFVII had been translated perfectly, a remake is just the best opportunity for a better job at that.
-Add a Blu-Ray with a port of the original. No work needed, just a port. For all those who like nostalgia (and as I saw here, wouldn't really like a remake, and whose number surprises me). Perhaps with the extras added, but optional (a normal Blu-Ray should be able to hold FFVII's content several times).

i almost thought you were onto something there.

The Final Fantasy games before VII were lacking in terms of graphics, storylines and fun. They were getting old... FAST.

I know this for a fact because i was brought up on FF games. My cousins had played through them all and i was brought up with FF1 & FF2 etc And FFVII completely blew them all away.

Storyline of FFVII was phenomenal. Graphics were 2nd to none (at the time).

Nothing comes close to FFVII (apart from FFIX imo).

FFVII fanboys(Not saying any names. >.>) ruined the game for me. It's decent, but I prefer a lot of other ones.

I would totally buy the PS3 if they remade FF7 for it. Same storyline and characters I'd just wana see a new rendition of it.

I believe at this point it would be stupid for sony not to demand square enix to make a FF7 remake, the PS3 is failing and needs anything it could to increase sales, a PS3 as a blue ray player will not last much longer

I wouldn't mind either way, it's a great game how it is. It would be nice to see it revamped but I'd much rather it be released on the PSP as is or maybe with a couple of new bits and bobs.

FF7 would be good on the PSP I think, it'd give me more reason to buy one.

Personally, they shouldn't continue with the remake (if they had plans to begin with). The remake will just ruin the fun we had with the original on the PS1. If they want to create, they should make a sequel that picks up after VII. I mean, they can't just keep the ending with all the lifestream coming out and stuff.

Anyway, either way they decide is crucial. The PS3's sales are hurting bad. ENIX as a sony platform developer has to come up with a way to push up those sales.

I actually do think they'll do a PS3 remake though. Once Final Fantasy XIII is done with.

"My feelings are that if a remake were to work well then all the core members of the original team must be reassembled, all the artists and designers,” said Kitase.

“The problem is that, although all of us have an idea of what a remake should be and how to do it, organising such a thing right now is logistically very difficult. All the different members are now involved in very new, very large projects like Final Fantasy XIII and those projects are going to take a while.”

Despite this, he refused to completely rule out the chances of a remake on PS3, adding, “Maybe, when all those games are finished then we can look at doing something like that.”

”Of course, that said we came up with the idea for Crisis Core in just two days. It was a case of 'this is what we want to do, so let's do it'. So, you can definitely expect the probability of something spontaneous happening at some point, but it's hard to predict."

Money talks though and I'm sure Square realise a VII remake would sell.

Hello, I know I might be probably intruding in this thread but I had a question that had been on my mind about the remake of the game. I had barely played the game because my friend's cousin took it back but it was a fun game even if I didn't too far but my question is to those who had actually beaten the game, do you guys think that they should create an FF7 remake for DS, PSP, PS3 or even XBOX 360 or do you think they should hold off for a few years until Square Enix decides to remake FF7 after making more FF games? I personally believe that they should wait a little while because with games like Crisis Core, Before Crisis, Dirge of Cereberus, Last Order, Advent Children and other FF7 spinoffs that need included in the canon, I just need to play the FF7 game to completion so that I can grasp the storyline before I think about the spinoffs. Even if Square Enix were to remake the game, do you think that they would include this stuff, redesign the story and characters so that all the entire FF7 story makes sense?
