Exactly, it really annoys me when people moan that it will ruin the original. It won't do anything to the original, you can choose NOT to buy/pay attention to it you know! Why be so against it if you love the game anyway? Why wouldn't you want to see it improved? I think it's great that it would also bring in a lot of new fans too.
The reason that they say that is because they generally know that it isn't just going to be a simple remake. They're going to add extra things, and change old systems in the original.
It never fails. With every remade game, they add things that shouldn't be added and change things that shouldn't be changed. Which is why most people believe that it will ruin the game.
Personally, I don't think it should be remade at all because the game is over rated as it is. Sure, it's a good game, but it's vastly over rated, and the mere concept of it being remade proves that.
Also, I believe that they're going to add extra content, extra characters, that will leave even more plot holes than the original game (is that even possible?!) and make more and more prequels and spin offs in order to guarantee that they'll make money from the fanboys.
So no, FFVII does NOT need a remake. None of them do, but if one had to be remade, there are others that need it loads more than FFVII.
Most people love the Playstation FF's the most, playing remakes of them would be far more enjoyable IMO.


Yes that would hinder anyone, that's one of the most important things in your enjoyment of a game. As much as I love VII the graphics are so bad and ridiculous now. I think that hinders a lot of new gamers into playing. (Even when I played VIII I thought VII looked stupid). Yeah they should know when the game was made and take it into consideration but of course people are going to compare it to the current games. It's only natural if all you play are the newer ones, then you'd be discouraged to play VII if you saw it. It's not really about the date, it's about how much more could be done with VII to improve it drastically, and it's already an almost perfect game.
) They're working with a classic. I think a lot of people would be involved in a remake of VII.
Not only that, but if a VII remake was announced, the fans (and non-fans) reactions would be HUGE.


*faints*

Also, no I don't hate VII. That's a warning ahead of time ^^)

I simply responded to what I disagreed with. What people generally tend to do on forums, you know? Why don't YOU calm down and stop being so bitter and rude. I have no 'blind loyalty', I just like the game and would love a remake. But apparently that makes me one of the fanboys, even though I'm a girl. So instead I'm a FFVII fanboy/girl. How stupid.
I don't even have words for this. Assumptions my dear, don't make them.
