FF7 remake is official and now SE is gonna spend 2 years creating a bunch of pointless hd graphics that will turn 7 into another 13. Final fantasy 7 IS in need of an aesthetic change, but it doesn't need to be the milestone of graphical ingenuity which SE will probably try to make it.
Squares gonna focus on making clouds gfx and sword techniques flashy and impressive to distract the fact they wont be able to accommodate underwater travel, airship travel, etc etc. Now I and the other skeptics may be pleasantly surprised to see that SE managed to allow all these features PLUS amazing hd graphics; But I doubt it.
Whats likely gonna' happen is all those things we enjoy, raising/breeding/racing chocobos, hunting for Materia/items/etc by exploring world map, Flying the highwind, having to use your head to find things like key of the ancients/temple of ancients are simply gonna' disappear. The worst part is alot of these small tedious things actually DO make ff7 more enjoyable.
I'm usually the first person to argue that if a games value/quality is based on the tedious side quests and side bosses than the game itself must be fairly weak; But they really do make FF7 better, and it would seriously affect the gameplay if FF7 becomes a completely linear process.
Anywho, if anyone's still diggin' these threads in a year or two when this thing see's light and actually picks it up, drop a reply and let me know if its worth getting or not. With how bad 13 turned out, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I refuse to buy this remake until I get confirmation from another FF gamer saying its not a steaming pile of
