FFXIII Director Wants to Remake Final Fantasy VII

the game doesn't need to be remade. its timeless. its sounds and grpahics are a part of its charm, and removing those things would take away some if its appeal.

besides, they would no doubt be unable to only change the sound and graphics, probably changing the whole game.

They would try to add a lot of new stuff and fill in some of the plot. It wouldn't be the same game.

I still would like to see a remake, even if things are added or dropped. I love the story. As long as the story is the same, or added to(or minor things removed)
I really would not mind.

I would love to see it though. Anyone see advent of Children? It looked amazing there and it would probably be even better. If you like the old one better fine play that one but i'll buy the new one when it (if) comes out.

OH DEAR GOD YES.

If it's remade... please try to keep very similar to the old one.

If it's remade it will be banned in the U.S. for inspiring enemy belligerants with its pro-terrorism message.

I'd prefer a HD Remix - keep FF7 exactly the same as it is but with FF13 visuals.

Nothing more.

True, though all the backgrounds would need to be re-rendered. Unless they have maintained the full backgrounds stored as 3D Models instead of bitmaps hehe

I wonder if they would add voice acting to the mix?

please focus on FF14 ~ cant wait for that ~

FF7 remake has record shattering best seller written all over it.

Do want!!!

If they did make it, it would suck but it would bring in a lot of cash. Maybe Im wrong though, i would like to be. It would be awesome to see a GOOD remake or sequel to an amazing game.

Hell, I'd go out and buy a ps3 and an HDTV just to play this game if it's remade...

LoL the only FF I played was on SNES and it was fun, I think I finished it too. So if Sony remakes FF7 it will still be new to me Every company should remake their old games for new systems, while still coming out with new and original ones. I wanted to try FFxIII but still have not collected nuff money. It looks good I'll buy it for sure when I can. Long live the fantasy!!!

even if for some reason the remake didn't do well, we still have the original. I say if they have the time/man power/money to take on such a feat, they by all means they should go for it, I know I'd buy it.

I've played almost all of the Final Fantasy franchise and I found FF4 and FF7 to be the best one. Square while you're at it please remake the Xenogears and Chrono Cross.

I'd would like a remake.... but if they try and make it linear like the recent final fantasy games I would be pissed. Also I really like the world map form of traveling to cities - something that all FF games after ff9 no longer have. It was fun to travel the final fantasy globe and look for hidden areas and bosses.

"Why?"

"It's popular and I'd make a lot of money off of it because of the name recognition... who cares about the fans I'd p*** off?!?!"

Listening back to Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, it really gives me the chills, reminds me of how much I miss those times and the game I spend hours on. It will be interesting to see, do whatever to improve graphics, but leave the score alone hehe

If they do remake it, they shouldn't change anything about the game other then enhancing the graphics to FF13's standard and update the audio sound track. Nothing else needs to be changed for that game. Although, I also wouldn't mind a complete revamp of the graphics and sound for FF4 and FF6 as well. ~grin~ Still, you must be completely 150% true to the original game or your going to ruin it.

I would really be happy to see Final Fantasy 7(FFVII) remade, but only if the developer were willing to do it right. While I agree that the graphics and sounds make it the classic that it is, I would really like to see better graphics put to such a strong and engrossing story. That is what made FFVII: The story.

I was playing FFVII on my PSP just today and was thinking that the game would really be awesome with updated graphics. I am not talking about turning Clouds and Barret into some ultra-thin feminine-style characters, but change them from the humorous cartoon-style characters they currently are. Of course, the final battle is still awesome today.

I just have a feeling that we, the gamer, would get hurt in the end. The developer would probably cut awesome portions of the story, or break some of the awesome parts into DLCs. I could see them doing this to the weapons(Emerald and Ruby). Speaking of, does everyone(that played the original) remember how difficult the weapons were to defeat? We have lost such encounters today.

FFVII was, and still is, an awesome game. I just want to see a more modern graphics engine for the game. Seeing Midgar on that first ride on the train would be so awe-inspiring with the graphics of today. Man, talking about this is making me want to stop and go play right now.

I would gladly pay $100 for a regular version of the game to have the full, unchanged story with updated graphics. I would even like to see a continuation of the story, more things to do within the game, and many other options. Make it three Blu-ray dics full of non-stop gaming enjoyment.

Make it the game that so many gamers are dying to play.

Meh, I just wish they would make FF7 the way it was originally intended to make it. A detective story. I think it'd be interesting and fresh. Check out the FF7 wikipedia article for more info.

the only FF that might have a chance of a decent remake is FF3 (6 in japan) it had a good story with a large enough cast of characters with good amount of depth that would transition well to a 3D format

i'll even entertain some changes to the story if it meant we get to see more of shadow !!!!!!!

I'm gonna get flamed for this, but, oh well.

FF7 lacks in every way to FF6.

That's all.

imagine... ffVII in full 3d. wow!

If it's not broken, don't fix it.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Please Square Enix...remake this. Beautifully rendered and updated Advent Children graphics update is all we need. Plus, Advent Children was made several years ago, you should be able to beat them by now. Nothing more, no new battle system, no story additions or changes, and nothing less, just graphics.
