I can see a sequel to DoC personally.

There is a poetry loving villain in red leather that has not been fully explored.

Personally, I don't see the need to point of making it, but it would irk me more that they hinted at a continuation to the story and not go through with it. I'll keep an open mind and hope for the best.

Oh, come on, guys. Don't be too hard on the poor guy. Everyone has to start somewhere. Why, my first wall of text wasn't exactly a work of genius, either. You may turn the kid off to the forum experience altogether. Anyway, you're correct in assuming that, no, the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII is not over yet. Apparently, it's going to continue on for another ten years or so, or until FFVII's twentieth anniversary. I can't remember where I read that or even if it's entirely correct, but I most certainly do remember hearing that the Compilation is not over. However, that being said, nothing is being planned at the moment. Square-Enix is far too preoccupied with other projects. In fact, adding another project to their list of games they're working on at the moment would be nothing short of ridiculous. They're already biting off more than they can chew, so to speak, so I'm afraid nothing is in the works at the moment. Nomura even said that a remake alone would probably take about five years to create, not to mention it would further delay the things that everyone is really waiting for, such as Final Fantasy XIII.

Anyway, that's not to say that I'm neccessarily happy about the fact that the Compilation is continuing. Don't get me wrong, Final Fantasy VII is one of my favorite RPGs of all time as well as my second favorite game in the Final Fantasy series (trailing behind FFIX and just ahead of VI), but Square Enix has been whoring it far too much. The only entry in the Compilation so far that I've thoroughly enjoyed was Crisis Core, which I feel did a pretty good job of capturing the original FFVII spirit, even if it introduced unneccessary characters like Genesis and further destroyed the incredible character Sephiroth once had. Advent Children was pretty much just an excuse to show off Crisis AVALANCHE's cool new superhuman tricks that we never knew they had (to be fair, I can understand Cloud pulling off all those stunts. Even in the original FFVII script, it was blatantly stated that Mako enhances the physical strength of those infused with it, but Tifa? Cid? Those guys are just normal humans. They have no excuse. ANYWAY...), Dirge of Cerberus is perhaps the stiffest FPS I've ever seen whose only redeeming factor is a fairly decent plot even though the gawdawful gameplay completely overshadows it, Last Order was, at best, a below-average OVA that I wouldn't have paid any attention to if not for the fact that it featured FFVII characters, etc.

I guess the point of this unneccessarily long post (considering the point of it, anyway, it could probably be shorter, but what're you going to do?) is that yeah, the Compilation isn't over yet, so you are correct, but no, I can't honestly say that I'm very happy about it. The Compilation is tearing to shreds what was once a very high quality RPG. Hell, look at all the haters it's attracting! For a certain group of indie posers, hating on FFVII is now the new "cool thing". Granted, some of the haters are just sore because their favorite Final Fantasy wasn't the most popular Final Fantasy and others genuinely don't like FFVII, but for the most part, the Compilation has done far more bad than good. What I'm getting at here is that each new entry in the FFVII Compilation makes more people turn away from FFVII than like it, so, even though it isn't over yet, it probably should be.

Still, I'm in a pretty difficult spot, because, while I really don't want the Compilation to continue, I admit that, at this point, ending it with anything other than a sequel to FFVII would be pretty anticlimactic. Of course, by "sequel", I do mean another full-length RPG. They've already made so many spin-offs. It's only appropriate that they finish off the Compilation with an actual RPG titled "Final Fantasy VII-2". Of course, this is taking into consideration that the Compilation is going to continue regardless. If we're going to get a few more entries into the Compilation, Square-Enix might as well have it go out with a bang, right? Don't get me wrong, it probably wouldn't win RPG of the Decade or anything like that, but if we're going to get 10 more years of FFVII, I suppose I'd like it to end with a sequel or at least a remake.

FFVII was ok on its own but since the compilation began more loose-ends have been made rather than tied-up. Main one being Genesis at the end of DoC. Now it seems as if a sequel is necassary for the whole thing to come to a close. Something like Sephiroth has fully returned and plans to wipe out exsistence, with Genesis fighting against him to become a 'hero'....or some bollocks.

Advent children was the sequal that ended the story... acually advent children wasnt even need but it was awsome

no sequal plz... although it could def happen with the ending of dirge :S itd be something like, oh you thought Weiss was dead? no hes nt! dun dun daaa... but id rather that didnt happen

imo Dirge was unecessary, Advent Children was glamourous (and pretty sweet) but again not necessary, but Crisis Core was totally bad ass! and it didnt create some new story, it merely elaborated and amplified what we already knew.

a direct sequal? no. a remake? yes. juuust like every1 here is saying!

Nah i dont think i would like a sequal as most people are saying they should really stop putting new stuff out like DoC and AC, not saying those were bad but, they should really start working on a remake, i think theyve done it for FFs I,II,III,IV? i dont remember, but anyways, i mean sure Crisis Core was ok because it told us more about Zack, who was never really explained in FF7. But DoC? The reason i liked Vincent was he was mysterious and nobody really knew much about him. AC didnt really need to be made in my opinion... It was short and not to mention Mine was in Japanese >.<, so didnt make much sense to me xD

I think that Square Enix is most likely going to release another game into the the Compilation of FFVII, probably taking place after DoC, considering that they announced that they would work on the Compilation until 2017 (the twenty year anniversary of FFVII). The story would most likely revolve around Genesis, since he appears at the end of DoC.

That being said, if that does happen the game wouldn't come out anytime soon, most likely it would come out somewhere between 2013-17.

hmmm

well i must say even though i dont want another peice of my love striped away and turned into some weird thing (DOC AC ect) but i want to know what happens so even though i dont want to see it i guess we need to see it

but a remake would be great (for ps2 and ps3 ) that they sell more ( ps3's are really expensive and my rents dont want to buy one dammit)

but anyways

they shouldnt they will who cares most of us will buy it even if we dont want to see it
