Final Fantasy VII remake?

I've been asking myself this question a while now, does Final Fantasy VII need a remake? Well, I'm sure many people here would say Final Fantasy VII was the best FF in the series, for me it is the best FF until now and also the best RPG I have played. After I played Crisis Core and really enjoyed the game and the mix of the event in the story of FFVII and Crisis Core, it makes me want to play FFVII again.

So now I ask you guys this question, would you like a Final Fantasy VII remake and on what console? As for me I'd love a remake and I prefer it would be on the PSP, it should be easy for the developers after the development of Crisis Core. But of course it would be great if it came on the PS3 as well, so it's both the same to me as long as a remake is coming :D

So let me hear your opinions everyone! :D

Yes, and since CCs releases there has been topics day in/day out asking/talking about a FF7 remake.

To answer your question (and to be on topic), no I do not want a FF7 remake. While I will agree that it was a good RPG, I still believe IMO that FFVI is the best FF.

I also don't think any game within the last two generations of consoles need remakes; the games are not that dated, and are still available if you look around (a few rare exceptions to the rule).

No need to be snobby. If you get annoyed with a repeate topic, you really should learn to ignore it instead of being rude towards someone.

Anyway, no, FFVII doesn't need to be remade. In fact, I'm actually not a fan of remakes to be honest. I'd rather a company focus its workforce in making brand new games, even brand new IPs if at all possible.

In my view, it's several things. One, it's got a large cast of characters with individual unique abilities and attributes. Each one has a history and their own reasons for joining your party.

Two, the main villian is truely despiseable. Not just with how his personality is like, but also the numerous things you witness him do throughout the game. There are very few RPG villians I hate more than this one.

Three, this is kind of small spoiler for the game, so I'll use a spoiler tag. [spoiler] This villian actually really screws up the entire world. He actually almosts accomplishes his main goal; unlike other RPGs where you stop the villian before he/she actually does anything substantial. [/spoiler]

Four, the gameplay system. Outside of each character's special skills they bring into battle, you can equip one Esper to each character. Espers are like a combination of Materia and Summons in FF7. Each esper equipped can be summoned once a battle for an attack or party-assisting ability. But also, each esper has different sets of magic spells that it can teach the character it's equipped with. As a character fights with an esper, he/she slowly learns the spells that esper knows; this leads to being able to customize who learns which spells. You can give your fighters buff/debuff magic or pair their physical offence with some magic. Or if you wanted you could give your best spellcaster every single spell in the game (assuming you find every esper).

Finally, along with my previous mention of multiple characters, this leads to some dungeons that require two or three parties to traverse through. It's mainly for solving puzzles (like team A needs to hit a switch to let Team B go on, and vice versa). This really helped with breaking up some of the monotony that is inherent in RPGs (like repetitive random battles)

I'm sure I could probably type more, but this should do for now.

Edit: spoiler tag didn't work, fixed now

If someone enjoyed the extraordinarily sloppy gameplay/game design of Crisis Core, they either have horrendous taste in games or were already in the 'anything with Cloud' club.

I really enjoyed the game for it's story/gameplay and everything else, and the storyline is what makes me want to play FF7 again, the way you see the events 7 years ago in Crisis Core just makes you want to see the connection in FF7 again, well that's what I think.
