Would you prefer FFXIII or this.....

Would you rather take a chance on something new.....

.....or reexperience the tried and true?

FFXIII I know a lot will come in and say I want FF VII remake or even both but really I feel there is a good chance that FF XIII will be something special even though I fell FF XIII versus will be more interesting than FF XIIIStar650

If I wanted to play FFVII, then I'd play the copy I have right here. hazelnutman

Tried and true? FF7 wasn't all that great. Most of the people "like it", was due to the mainstream exposure it had back in '97. It was a catch phrase. It's no different today because of one little tech demo. Because people still talk like 7 was the only Final Fantasy game to exist. Because nobody whines and complains about better games that didn't get as much hype and marketing as FF7 did. Most people are just purely reactionary with the name "FF7" without an actual reason why.

Just like when movie stars get asked if they play video games. You get the same "I play Madden" or "I played PacMan or Super Mario in 1985!"

I'd rather have FFXIII, for FFVII I'm happy with the re-release on the PSN when ever it hits stateside. We get enough remakes on the PSP and DS as far as I'm concerend.

Well at the time, it was because it had FMVs, polygons and little battle animations. But I felt the story was lacking and very slow during the middle of the game. It just dragged on and on with fillers. I honestly felt FF8 had the better story. As well as FF6. But I honestly do feel, if other FF games got as much hype as FF7 did, I don't think FF7 would be such a big issue with most people. If FF9 had a bigger marketing campaing than FF7, we would be having this conversation over FF9 and chances are, we would've seen an FF9 Tech Demo.

But then again, because of the hype, Cloud, Sephiroth and Tifa became RPG pop culture icons. We're only seeing spin offs and got Advent Children because FF7 is a popular cash cow due in part of the hype it got. Because people see "FF7" and they dive for it lol Even I was itching for Advent Children before it came out :P

IX [9] > X [10] > XII [12] > XIII [13] (prediction.) > VIII [8] > VI [6] > Parking Tickets > VII [7] > HIV+ > Finding out your girlfriend is cheating on you with a woman.

Only thing I didn't like about FF9 was the completely unrelated final boss lol

After you took on Kuja it was "Oh hey y'all. Welcome to Hell...or Heaven whatever it is. I can't tell myself. But anyways, my name is Necro. I'm your final boss and I'm here to destroy you. Isn't that cool?"

FFX was my fav game so far. love the story. daveydag

But it plays back better in your head with that gay guy voice from Family Guy :lol:

Neither. I don't like those games.

FFXIII. I have no interest in FFVII and never thought it was all that great.

I will always take my chances on a new story rather than replay a old one. I would still want a remake though. It deserves one.

FF VII Remake would rule all Final Fantasies thats for sure.[except the original]

FFVII is always being brought up by nostalgia-plagued junkies that drool over its resurrection from the grave. It isn't anywhere near the greatest FF ever made. I easily find FFIX to be the best PS1 FF, easily surpassing FFVII. It is only memorable because the game was the first FF to move towards 3D, and as such, had such a significant impact on the FF franchise. FFXIII for me. I embrace change towards a new direction. jRPGs need to evolve - we no longer need random encounters, transitional battle scenes, and a simple turn-based combat system which exchanges blows between the 2 sides. Console limitations from the past generations forced developers to design the battle system in such manner : FXII was an immense step in the right direction, completely removing random encounters and placing the battles within the environment itself. With the PS3 and 360's higher bandwidth and memory, as well as disk space. random encounters and transitional battle scenes shouldn't even be a factor in the game's design. I find it a hindrance that drags down what jRPGs could demonstrate in the HD gaming era.Brainhunter

well ppl claimed that ff7 is the best ff. my cuzin told me it wasnt. he said that ppl liked it only because it was the first in 3d. & as explained on x-play, on g4tv, it just sucks. but i cant let anyone sway my decision on any game that could possibly be great. & plus since ff13 is goin to 360 also, im gonna have to go with ff7.FLYEboi50

where is the option for both?

I have never passed up the opportunity to own any and every Final Fantasy game and I will get all of them that are produced.

All the FFs are epic. So for me it just comes down to what characters I thought were better. Cloud and Sephiroth are cool and all but I think Zidane and Vivi were amazing as well. I also liked the battle system for IX which was similar to VI because it gave the characters strengths in what they should of been. Having Ashe use a huge gun was sexy for sure but I felt I wanted her to be stronger in the way of the sword arts.

Oh, so I prefer to have XIII. Lightning is gonna be so awesome.

New series games are almost always going to be better than a remake. Not saying that remakes arent bad, just think of it this way: Would you rather want to play the same over again with better effects or an all new epic game?angusclone2

13. even though im a fan of 7. i thought it was the best in the series. all these spinoffs and even that movie made me tired of that story... the game should have been left alone after the o.g. ff7. if all these crappy spinoffs never happened i'd say remake 7 in a heartbeat2DFighter84

FINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE PLZ I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW!!!

i would rather play aremake of FF9 then FF7 but i'll always prefer a brand new game then a remake of a game that i still own and beat to death already

Give me XIII.

I'd rather have a proper re-make of VIII over VII or even one of the previous FF installments before VII :)

I don't want a remake .. just a rerelease ..

To be real ain't no good rpgs out out here from JP anyways so I take anything from SE....

FF7 is indeed an epic game. However, I'm sure Square Enix will produced a even better FF game after spending 3 years on it already.

FF13 because its a new game.

FFXIII for me. As much as I enjoyed FFVII, I'll be content with the re-release it gets years from now. Also, [QUOTE="Denji"]Only thing I didn't like about FF9 was the completely unrelated final boss lol jraizer

Necro. Not Fate :p

I already have Final Fantasy VII in perfect condition so, Final Fantasy XIII.Flame_Blade88
