They should. The lead producer said it was possible if they get the entire team back together, which is only possible after Final Fantasy XIII versus and Final Fantasy XIII is finished.

They have too many games developing right now so they can't. And i think they will make a remake when the PS3 has a bigger installbase

I'd rather they just left the FFVII series alone and focus on creating a new Final Fantasy that isn't terrible (I'm looking at you, X-2, XI, and XII). I still have Final Fantasy VII for my PS1 and would hate to see it soiled by another cash-in.

Apparently a lot of people do since these threads seem to always pop up. :roll:

Personally, I think FF7 should just be made available for download at the Playstation Store.

Funny...I read a thread a long time ago asking why there wasn't an OoT remake. Most people thought the idea was ludicrous. But for teh FF7, the idea is somehow brilliant. Hypocrisy?

If it's overrated, then that means plenty of people are looking for it....

the game is special to millions of people, taking a risk and remaking could totally ruin it for some people. I do think they should re release the ps1 version for DL on like psn or something, the games price is insane ranging from 80 bucks used to 300 new. I honestly think they should leave this classic alone, they about destroyed it with Dirge of Cerberus and other spin offs.

Ar man no FFXII was nothing compared to the oldies. It just left me totally empty with no feelings for the characters.

Such a disappointment.

Because it's been whored out beyond belief. About 3 spin offs, a anime series, and even a film from that game. There are 12 others, and about 4 more deserving of a remake then 7.

spin offs arent like a remake .. also the movie was awesome to me and Crisis core is awesome too and dirge of cerberus is pretty much about vincent only .

They will eventually, if they'll release crap like Dirge of Cerberus for some cash, there is no way they wont do a remake of FFVII.

Yeah, I totally want to play an RPG with a story I've already read, characters I've already seen and gameplay I've already played.

Heck, Why should SE even make new RPGs? Just remake the old ones :|

Why would they remake a game when they could keep moving the series forward. Maybe when they run out of ideas they might go back and make a remake of that game. But once they do that, where will they stop the remakes?

The momment that Square starts remaking their games is the second they lose 10 points on my respect scale. They shouldn't start rehashing their old titles for new graphors. They should put their effort and skill into new games. Otherwise they're going to quickly end of at the bottom of the totem.

Nope I'm looking forward to FFXIII more than anything. I hope FFXIV is in development shortly after FFXIII comes out and there not wasting there time developing a remake for FFVII. What they should do really is release them on the PSN store or release some kind of compilation for FF7,FF8 and FF9.

Maybe because they haven't done it for other RPG's? Where's our 3D opera scene with real voice acting? Where's our PS2 ballroom dance? Square has a policy of not remaking old games with newer technology. Don't bring up Final Fantasy III, that was a legitimate port to non-Japan regions. You can bring up FFIV, though :P.

Same here, but put it on the Wii and include a minigame/sidequest that has us battling a golem with Wii-mote gestures.

No, how about just a really bad arse FF6 remake since it's a better game and all and has such a unique art style.

Though I'd be cool with it on the wii if the controls were pure point and click.

I have no idea why people are always asking for a remake of FFVII. You might as well be asking for remakes of all the old great games.

The game as it is, is a classic. Just let it be.

FFseries_Fan

Because taking the time and resources to make this game means that we just going to get less new games to play. I already own this game. I've already beaten this game. I see no point in trying to remake this game when it could become a bastardization of a c1assic. Give us something new. We already have enough Spinoff/remakes/spinoffs ect.
