Leave it be, it's already in 3D. They should have re-made FFVI in 3D.

I am on the fence. I back-lashed against FF VII when it was out due to popularity, so I kinda do only to revisit it with some new paint and give it another shot, but at the same time, I kinda think that remaking it would be a disservice to the game as it stands now in people's minds.

If they put care into it and it didn't feel like milking the name for easy money, then sure why not?

I doubt I'd buy it since I still own the original on the PS1. I wouldn't care if they did it though.

Yeah, same here. It'd be nice if they were totally focused on putting out new stuff, but if they remake it, as an RPG fan I'd be a fool not to buy it.

Yes, because I wouldnt be able to enjoy it in its current form. Square and Sony Should do it, and make the original available on PSN, they would be printing money.

Yes, I didn't play FF7 as a kid, and played it a year or 2 ago and liked it a lot, so i'm not emotionally attached to it if I had played it when I was younger, i'd love to see a remake. The 2005 tech demo gives me goosebumps in anticipation.

It'll be released eventually, I don't think anytime soon though.

It'd be interesting. But no. I really see no benefit.

People would bash it for being different than the original. And I can pretty garentee you the script would be changed enough to make the old fans angry, Im sure a few characters would have crappy voices(Like Aerith did in KH2 in Advent Children). And the scenes would be over the top, Advent Children style.

If the gameplay were changed it would be criticised for being to different from the original and if it werent changed people would complain about how it'd feel to old.

Nothing good would come from it.

I will say it again like I said before. Remakes are only good for branching out a specific title and it series to another system. If it was like branching out like how MGS1: Twin Snakes did, then maybe. Otherwise, no, its purely milking and backstepping in any attemp to make new games.

Doing ffvii remake on PSP wouldn't be so bad since they've already done a lot of the models, some of the locals, and have a working engine with crisis core. If they added more bonus encounters (e.g. weapons), perhaps an improved translation, and a solid mini-games, it'd definately be something I would enjoy playing again. Don't forget those would be playing it for the first time as well.

Sure, why not. I won't play it, but the younger gamers would and would probably love it. All the people worried about nostalgia could just not buy it and play the PS1 version.

Why don't people remake all games that were considered great every generation since every new generation of videogame systems will have better/different technology and so that newer gamers have a chance to experience the greatness of those games?... then maybe we could use decimals like computer software updates (eg, super mario bros 1.x, final fantasy 7.x, etc.) since that's what ... But, maybe that's taking it too far... maybe one remake is okay?... Well, I'm not sure if there's a line to be drawn here... Some people really miss "the good ol' days" (when games were great) and think that gamers today miss out on those great things of the past... (has anyone seen that penn & teller BS episode about people getting carried away with nostalgia?) So I don't know what to say about remakes... Maybe rereleases for those that want to relive their "good ol' days" is good enough. After all, a great game is already great to those who've played it. But, is that game only great for its time (and those who were gamers of its generation) or is it still great to gamers of a later generation? the issue of remakes is something worth discussing...

People need to stop complaining about remakes because they arent going away, they sell way too well.

Personally id love a FF7 remake, and im sure the folks at sony would too.

I own the original FFVII(GH Version =[) and yes, I would love a remake.

Improved Graphics

Full CGI and Advent Children Voices

Free-Roaming

A copy of the original game playable when you beat the game.(Instead of a New Game+)

Heck, I'd even love bonus Boss Battles and Scenes, unlockable by DoC Memory Files and Hooking up your PSP and Crisis Core via USB. (Genisis Boss Battles, anyone?)

Other then new graphics and sound.. The game would need a way better combat and character development system.. Lets face it FF7 may have been a great game, but its shown age in not just its graphics.. But its simplistic combat system.. If they were to make a remake they would have to heavily rework the combat and character development system..

Not the same thing. Movies =/= Games. Besides anyone who missed out can play the greatest RPG ever. Only people who don't have a PS3 won't want this game to be made, because they are afraid of the huge following behind it. bobaban

You obviously don know what RPG

While FF7 is great game,its nowhere near best RPG

I know this thread is over a year old, but...

Hellz yes! I know that I always complain about Square Enix making too many ports and remakes, so it might be hypocrtical for me to say this. But really, I don't care. It's ****ing Final Fantasy VII! I've NEVER played this game before. I can't go out and buy this game in stores. I can't find it anywhere, so what the hell am I supposed to do?

Two to three years ago, I might've been able to. That and Chrono Cross... But I had no idea at the time that they were so... amazing. I missed out.

I'd buy a PS3 for this game.

As would I, good man.

I honestly believe it's already been made and SE and Sony are saving it for when the PS3 loses all fans/hope. But thats my opinion.

I might consider buying it, but only if there was a PC port (like the original).

I mean, I'm not particularly interested in the game, but I'd like to see what all of the fuss is about.

SE has the ability to turn everything they touch to crap (compared to Squaresoft, Level 5, etc.), they should leave FFVII alone.

I would love to see it done on the 360, selling millions of consoles in Japan and making many people angry. But yeah, I'd buy it no matter what console got it. I'd like to see new things, areas, gameplay mechanics, new skill materia.

I seriously doubt VII remake would be on 360. Its immature that you want to sit there and watch people get angry.

Considering that I have not played a single FF game, but from what I've seen/heard I'm very interested in getting into it, and will do so through the 1-6 remakes on the GBA/DS/PSP (or just the DS and PSP if they remake 5 and 6 for either DS or PSP) and XIII on 360, and while I am considering eventually getting PS3 eventually I might not be able to get one with full BC, then yes, I would like one along with any remake of the main series that they are willing to make. Maybe the PS2 games would be pushing it, but at least the PS1 games.

Not that I like SE's grand scheme of remaking every game and spin offs but FF7 would be a totally different game if they upgraded the graphics. Think about it. No more 2D backgrounds, all changed into 3D enviroments.. It would be a totally different feeling and perspective of playing it. Only the storyline would be the same. I have a feeling it wont turn out as good though as people are thinking.

I have it on PS1, and that's where it should stay. I wouldn't mind a complete re-release via PSN or the Nintendo DS, but changing anything at all would piss me off. Leave the cIassics alone. And SquareEnix has been so full of fail lately that I don't think they could handle it anyway. Ever since the merger Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts haven't been the same.

I Completely agree, Final Fantasy 7 should not be re-made, just re-released. Don't get me wrong I love FF7 so much that I have 3 Copies, 1 on it's last legs, one that's been played through once and an unopened back up copy...(knowing my luck Disc 3 will be missing)

It's difficult to get copies these days and alot of the younger generation or people who didn't get a PS1 would never have played FF7. So re-release this on the PSP, PSN or even PS3, just don't want extra things adding like materia, Character etc...because then it wouldn't be the same game.

Just one more thing about Square-Enix before I go, they are still a very talented company. One of the best games I've ever played (Besides ff7) Is Kingdom Hearts, Valkyrie profile is good. Personally I cannot wait for the future games.

Thanks for reading.

No. No remake. and I don't remember the game being all that great either. Although I have't played it in a while.
