Final Fantasy VII Remake: PS3 or not, I KNOW it is coming

[sephiroth93enix]

Every dedicated FFVII fan has seen the E3 technical demo(PS3) of the famous opening sequence of the game. 'Finally, my prayers have been asked,' you say to yourself. But as you continue, you find that Square Enix says that it DOES NOT plan to remake FF7, they were just showing off.

JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YER FOOLIN'?There are obvious reasons that Square isn't being that truthful.

1...]Why would you choose FFVII, of all things to show? Isn't the Fabula Nova Crystallis series your next big debut for the PS3? What, you picked a game at random and IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE FFVII?

2...]It's money in the freakin bank!!! Fans have been praying for this for so long, and htere is a completely new gen of gamers that would be blown away, because the game is not so easily bought anymore.

3...]It can take a couple years to figure out a storyline and character design. But you already have these things at your feet! the only changes that need to be made are the graphics, soud quality, and maybe a few added bonuses that don't interfere with the storyline, but enhance it.

4...]Aren't you just finishing FFVI? The last I checked, the number after six is seven.

It may be money in the bank but it would mean another nail in the coffin for SE's originality and would add on to what I would believe another valid reason for Sakaguchi's leaving of SE.

As for the tech demo, why? well as you said, so many FFVII fanboys are out there that just showing a scene from FFVII on the PS3's graphics would be more than enough to get the fanboys to dowse their drawers and go out and buy the PS3.

As for storyline? It's a remake, or atleast that's how the rumor goes. Hell the scene was the opening scene to the game. What other storyline would they need to come up with? Maybe if Sephiroth won the battle so everyone can be happy. [/sarcasm]

So will there be a FFVII remake for the PS3 in the future? Probably. Would I go out and rush to my nearest game shoppe and buy the PS3 if there was a remake for it coming out? No. If I do want to play the game, I'd play it on the PS where it is now.

Also, if you're going to make multiple threads about the same thing. Put them in the proper areas for crying out loud.

I've never seen a bigger FF7 fanboy than this one.

Go to hell.

I think that it would be neat to be able to play the story through again with graphics similar to the advent children movie that looked soooooo cool.

However, think about some factors here. How would they maintain the feel they're looking for with some of the stuff you could only get away with in oldstyle RPGs. Like the gold saucer maybe, or when the dolphin is jumping up to get them into Junon, or some of the funny stuff. Would they be able to implement that into it while still keeping it cool?

[FFking]

I did hear once a while ago from one of Square Enix's employees that there was a 70% chance of a FFVII remake. (This was before the E3 Technical Trailer)
But what happened to that i do not know.

Redcloud: IF they are doing some remake on this game I am sure they would remove those "funny" parts and just keep the intire game "cool".
But this is a problem, this funny stuff. That is pretty much what I miss about the new games.

[RedCloud]

I know, FFking, I liked that as well. It seemed that they could only pull it off with the oldstyle games, now that they've gone into voice acting and full 3d models, when they attempt it, it just doesn't sit right.

They couldn't take out that whole story in the Gold Saucer though. That was quite fun.

I have no reason to see a FF7 remake unless the game were made for the DS so I can play it while transversing from and to work. But frankly it's not needed otherwise. Most of this generation already had a chance to play it so there's real reason to waste money and time on it when other, newer, perhaps better games can be made.

I would really like to play a remake of FF VII but the only thing I wouldn't like to see is where Cloud dresses as a woman...>.< NO WAY!! I mean and how would Don Corneo looked at Cloud and said: "Give me a KISS!" I would be so SHOCKED because think Cloud looks hot now...and if Don Corneo sees him in that way...Oh MY GOD!! I don't wanna see Don Corneo kissing my beloved Cloud *covers eyes*

I totally forgot about that part... That would be kinda disturbing. But think about it, Cloud trying to look (And most likely sound) like a woman, its also kinda funny to think about.

[Ultima Star]

It'll be traumatic not funny....at least for a fangirl like me it would be shocking

[Spira]

i think its definitely coming.. probably for the PS3..
If SE decides to release it for PS3 lol, its an influential enough game to make the PS3 win the next generation console war...

because as it looks, almost all the PS3 exclusives have deserted sony..

[WielderOfTheMasamune]

Well its FF's 20 anniversary, and they are remaking all the games. FFIV was just announced for the DS, so I think its safe to say that EVERY FF game (That matters) is going to be remade. PS3 or not, FFVII will be remade.

[j3ffr33]

canlt say its true.....what would mess the game up entirely would prollie be voiceovers BECAUSE of the don scenes and such....but also....rmb in the game...barret has the tendency to swear like a bitch.....i don't think their gonna be putting that in

From the title, I thought u actully had proof that it was coming out. Sure, even though u do have very logical financial reasons why SE could re-make FFVII - they may or may not.

Everyone should know by now that FFVII was the greatest FF ever made. No one be dissapointed by this If anyone watched the xtra features on the Advent Children dvd, they talked in detail about FFVII. They consider it the "flagship masterpeice" of the series. They only expected to sell about 1 million in the US alone - turns out they sold like 23 million worldwide, or some outrageously successful number ^^ It was the standard and yet revolutionary game - the 1st on the Playstation. The 1st w/ the 3D graphics and when it came out, it was state of the art. Oh god not to even mention the game itself. How many ppl support it? How many times have ppl fell in love w/ the story and how much of that one game affected the others?

Yes if one Final Fantasy game deserves to be re-made for a higher platform - it would be that one. There's no questioning the support value the re-make would get, even if it's of questionable story-stature. The people at Square-Enix know what they're doing and i'm sure they could come up w/ something unique and exciting to add to the re-make.
For instance - it might be somewhat of a prequel, maybe taking you a few months before the actual game started and leads you through to the end. They might avoid some of those smaller steps from the original, but include higher, more involving aspects of the other, more important features of the games.

Of course i'm a fan of FF7. It's always been my favorite ever since I owned it and completed it. I hope there's a re-make of it. The only thing difficult about the process, would be to get the PS3 - but there are other games out for it that would make the move a justifiable one - what w/ FF13 coming out for that one too!
I need PS3 !!

I think SE is afriad of making a remake. They want to very badly I think but they don't have the guts. Think about it, if they fail and make a game like FFX-2 then people might start to dislike them and the original game. And since that's their "flagship" I think they'd want to avoid that at all costs..

I refuse to support Final Fantasy VII as the flagship of the series alone. I don't think they're afraid of a remake. How can it turn into something like Final Fantasy X-2 when this is a remake and not a sequel. As long as they stick to the orignal storyline etc. I will be fine.

But knowing Square and the whole cow pie of a comilation they'll mess with the story. Square really never denied that their will never be a remake. It just wouldnt be now seeing as its stil playable on the PS3 and can be emulated on the PSP.

Final Fantasy VI and below deserve every bit of a remake over Final Fantasy VII because frankly it's a turnoff to the new generation players who cant stand the lackluster 2D graphics.

Well I don't see it as the flagship either but fact is that it was with that game they first became really big. They will have to change some things to be able to make this remake since you can't do it right of FFVII....then they have plenty of room to destroy another game in the series.

even though there are prolly more that hold FF7 at the top of the mountain over the others, it's not just us that consider it the best - Square Enix regards Final Fantasy 7 as it's best creation yet. It made the most impact, turned the most heads, gained the most popularity, sold a lot more than they estimated etc..
Can't argue w/ the statistics ^^

but ya, I agree w/ Ragnarok, I think they should also try re-makes of the older FF's, before 7. Definately the 2D graphics are ewww for the present days graphical onslaught. They have such good graph's that they almost look like CG movies, while playing! Going back to nintendo1 graphics are no thx!
Just trying to replay 7 w/ it's graphics are a bit hard sometimes

I never remebered Square making any annoucement that regards Final Fantasy VII as it's best creation. As a matter of fact Final Fantasy VIII sold way more then Final Fantasy VII. Sure I agree it turned heads because it was well revolutionary at the time but why does the best game in the series need spinoffs, prequels and sequels? It's the best so shouldn't it not have any loose ends? In the ned its up to opinion anyways.

[The Dude]

FFVII was the one that got many people into final fantasy that I'll agree to but as it for being the "Zomg it's the best!" No. Tactics was better. VI was better. XII was way better.

It's most likely that they'll make a remake. As someone had once said on the older version in regards to FFVII. "SE's going to milk it for all its worth and then toss it like a used condom." They know if they make anything with an FFVII title, the fanboys will eat it up. It's how they got away with Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus.
