so...it obvious that there WILL be a sequel for PS3 coming - most likely after XIII and Versus

this is indicated by the fact that Genesis is released at the end of Dirge, so now we get to see Genesis and Clouds interactions and their even more deeper connection?

what else do u guys think the sequel will entail - bring to light, and hint at for story elements that will carry onto more sequels

and on remake...still think itll happen?

IMHO honestly id rather have the sequel first, remake after, then the next sequel(s)

as for the battle system i think they will look at the positives of Crisis Core's Versus XIII and XIII's systems, and then meld and or create a brand new one to implement in the sequel/remake

They've already made a Final Fantasy VII sequel, a prequel, an animation, and a handful of other spinoffs. It might happen, but I don't think there's anything left to do with this game

My buddy in Japan, who works as an intern for Square Enix, says that he doesn't know much. But he does know a developement team is being put together for the next FF7 project. Not sure if its a direct sequel to DoC or just another spinoff. This is just what he has been hearing over there.

They don't need a sequel. They need to remake the first freaking game.

OMG I was just disscussing this a monment ago. I think they could do a a seqeul to FFVII: DOC because of the secret ending. And we will see a FFVII re-make by it's 20th anniversary. (ten or nine years from now)

And in nearly every case, the original game was much, much better.

They don't need to do a sequel. The game has enough closure to it with Advent Children. They just really need to do a next-gen remake of the game.

If they don't make a remake, at least release it as a PS1 classic in the PSN store.

I guess we could see a remake as something big may happend at the end of the FF7 collection (in 2017)

i think that they should leave final fantasy VII alone, while it is still a good memory.

only remake it if they're sure it will live up to the original!

For me, Final Fantasy stopped being relevant by the PS2 generation. Why? Take a look at the lead characters in each Final Fantasy game before, and after the PS2. Before: real 'kick-ass' and 'manly' characters, who were legitimately tough and could have kicked your ass even at level 1. After: Tidus - one of the biggest " prison **** " lead characters in an RPG outside of Xandir from Drawn Together. Vash - um, I grew up with kids that could have torn this brat a new one. Seriously, what the **** Square? It's like ever since that guy left to go make Lost Odyssey, you've been obsessed with graphics and making the most em0 androgi-brats and girls that try to pass themselves off as guys or something. Seriously, it's time to grow a backbone, and some cojones. That said, the reason many (including myself) hold FF 7 in such high regard is because it was basically the last one with a decidedly "bad-ass" cast... or one that wasn't completely em0 out the ass! :evil:

hey i think a remake would be a great idea..it would bring back amazing memories and maybe they could do something better with it too...

*spoiler*spoiler*

replaying the shadow moses in MGS4 was amazing..wouldnt mind replaying the whole mgs if it had those gfx..

This guy doesn't look manly at all. He looks like a transvestite!

I agree about that guy who left the company though. Final Fantasy 10 was good, but I think everything they've done since then has been awful.

a remake would be nice for those who didn't get a chance to experience the original. besides that.. leave the series alone. enough with the sequels. cloud against genesis? that's not even a fair fight. cloud would destroy genesis. =]

I would love a remake of FF7, that would be dream come true. Alas I can't see it happening for quite some time since SE have got their hands full with FF13/vs13 as well as other titles. I'll even be happy if they confirm that it will be made, I wouldn't care if it's not gonna be due out till 2010/11

You'be got absolutely no basis for claiming that there will be sequel on teh PS3 dude.

Every time SE has been asked over the past 3 friggin years, they have said there is no remake. When are people going to get the message?!

I would love to play a remake. But I guess what everyone really wants is an epic rpg, hopefully versus or XIII, white knight, infinite undiscovery, and / or last reminant will satisfy.

I won't ask why everyone is checking out the guys in fF games.. each their own.. I was always too busy gawking at Tifa.

But anyways, I think condensed versions of VII, VIII and IX would do very well as an all in one remake pack that you could get on a blu ray, featuring access to the original classics either on an included DVD or on PSN.

They really are great games, I would love to see them reimagined in HD, and I would look forward to it with nostalgia and excitement. I would write sentances and sentances of glee.

There's commitment.

I just noticed this and I agree. I still mean what I said above but the cow is getting a bit weak out there. We need to either give her a face lift or get on with the burgers.

And yet he more than made up for it by being dynamic and managing to avoid being em0. Squall, Tidus, and Vash basically oozed em0-licious behavior. After playing 8 about a quarter of the way, I thought "hang on, is this Final Fantasy or myspace em0 bomb 8?" Seriously Square, enough with the em0 heroes. Less Vash and more cecil; more bartz; hell, even Garcian Smith of Killer 7 would have made a better RPG hero in one of these Final Fantasy games than "I'm a sperm-guzzling prison diva" Tidus or "I can't even decide what gender I'm supposed to be" Vash (FF 12).

i will literally **** myself if they remake vii...however if they do i dont want them to touch anything but the graphics and sound...leave the story, battle system, characters, and everything else the exact same

theyve already got the story its just a matter of reprogramming
