Square Enix asking people about Final Fantasy VII: Remake!

Have anyone noticed lately how Square Enix been talking about the idea of a Final Fantasy VII Remake in HD a lot lately? not only that but their official twitter account have requested from followers and fans to post what they think about the idea of having a remake version in HD for Final Fantasy VII, their probably now considering making the game. Not only that but in a couple of hours in posting that tweet they had to come again and say that in a matter of little time they received thousands or millions of feedback. They have also stated that the company is now more focusing on Final Fantasy Versus XIII so we shouldnt expect it anytime soon.

What are you thoguhts? i think they have to make a remake of this game!!

One of the things they "talked about" was how it was going to cost over $250 million dollars and take many years to actually complete a remake, and it would be nearly impossible to complete given the new standards of the industry and how long and how much content was in the original.

I don't understand the obsession with a remake of a decent PS RPG. There are many fantastic RPG's on the PS, and most of them don't even need remakes, given how well they still stand up today, and how there are basically no modern RPG's like them.

Well, I wouldn't mind a PSP remake.

The Star Ocean remakes worked pretty good on that system and something looking like Crisis Core would be perfectly fine for me.

It's not even the best FF...Far from it.

I am no longer interested in remaking the game. It was fine on the original Playstation. Updating it with modern graphics, music, sound, and gameplay would be a waste of resources, that they could use to make new games.Willy105

Then you must really dislike how Nintendo has managed it's business seeing as they have pretty much done that for the last three generations.

J/K :P (but with a hint of seriousness in it though :( )

FF7 was terrible in so many ways. Characters and Story being the main offenders.

The Materia System was excellent though. I wouldn't mind them bringing that back in a future game.

I don't get this? All they have to do is update the visuals and get some voice actors. Why would this cost more than say making a new rpg with current standards and visuals?

Although I never liked FF7,I can see why they would want to do this considering how bad there games have been lately.

This. Make new games instead of wasting precious time and money remaking stuff.

as much as I like Advent Children Complete. I rather see Square do something different for once that would be both good on sales and reviews.

You have to be realistic.

I think the dangerous part of a potential PS3 version is that they would have to cut out portions of the original game to make it possible in the first place.

There are reasons why FFXIII is so streamlined and those reasons are money and time.

people are probably going to be disappointed if they don't make it have FF13 level CGI/in-game graphics

which is imo more likely to happen, they'll update the graphics but much like a lot of recent remakes - keep it within that same style that the original game had and not necessarily a reboot from scratch

I really don't see how it would be a waste of resources. It would play like a completely different game on the current gen consoles.

Unrelated to posts: What is the girl in your sig saying!? I can't lip read well and it is driving me insane trying to figure it out.

whatever, it doesnt really matter what se puts their efforts into, itll probably be mediocre to garbage. this will make them more money so i say go ahead

Don't know how much they can take away from those responses; SE fans that are so obsessed with the company that they bother following their twitter page, are not a good representation of the entire gaming market that SE must go after (considering the budget costs of their games this gen).

Plus remaking games of that magnitude is too difficult. How do you best a game that, in its time, was regarded so highly? How do you make perfect better? You either spend a ridiculous amount of resources, or utterly fail. Especially considering SE would have no room to be creative, because once news broke out that so-and-so is different in the remake, you piss off all of the 'hardcore' fans.

Focus on new, GOOD titles. If development costs are the excuse for shortening game time and making the game linear, NEWSFLASH- Nintendo Wii exists. Put an actual RPG on the console with good marketing and sales would be good.

SE needs to start planning THE REMAKE for this upcoming remake....and another remake after that.

...but each game is notably different from each other...Willy105

No. They need to let it die. It's over. In the past. They way to counteract losing your ability to make a good game with a good story isn't to just keep making spinoffs and rereleasing previous games that were actually good.

-Yawn-

once they finish with all their projects Nier, KH, FF Versus, and anything else they work on im sure they can redo FF7 i think theyre just being too modest :P but seriously if they remake this i can almost garuntee it will outsell FF13 :D Yess pleezeee i really wanna see more Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris in CG :D :D :D!!!!

Give us FFvsXIII before talking about FFVII Remake. D:

Well...it probably means he personally feels FF7 is far from the best game in the series.

..it's just a guess though..don't quote me on it or anything.

The game would be huge to produce in this day and age, it was huge in the PS1 era, count how many towns and dungeons and add to that a world map.If they want to make a world map and vehicles, the scale should be realistic for both the world map and vehicles to be believable so I think it would take alot too.

but Im all for a FFVII remake.

When you play FFXIII you will see how much effort was done to make it, if people wants a FFXIII quality for a FFVII remake then expect alot of money and time.

look how many years it took FFXIII to be released and it didn't have any town.

I know the framework and engine is ready right now after FFXIII but it would take alot of time too, maybe 3 years and they said they want an environment where they could produce it and release within a 1 year.

ff7 remake? yes please.. ill buy 3 copies

Looking at the new stuff they came out with lately i think a remake would be a good choice.
