Just imagine what it would be like ya know, this would be a very good thing to do for people that don’t constantly want the constant "Cloud & Tifa path" ya know? 🙂
And yes, I know the "" is not going to happen like the other paths since Aeris’s tragedy occurs but it still can be possible ya know, just add a path that even after Aeris’s tragedy Cloud still reveres her very much since it would be on the "Cloud & Aeris path" ya know? 🙂
BTW – No remake needed. Annoying spin-offs are enough.
The game was mediocre at best and I’m sure the feedback from the spinoffs will deter SquareEnix from making an awful remake altogether.

How? It has been said that it made a major mark in the history of the PS1 ya know? I guess you didn’t hear that though so it’s ok. 🙂 heh heh heh heh
I’ll just wait for Prak to come and victimize you.
Why? All I said was that FF VII was a true PS1 legend, nothing more, nothing less. Nothing but the truth from what I said that FF VII was a legend. :confused:
But no, the tech-demo was not an indication that FFVII would be remade in the slightest.
That is debatable.
You can’t say things like that and expect everyone to agree with you. Believe me they wont

Whether it’s a famous one or an infamous one is another question….XP
About a remake for FFVII–there have been tons of rumors about a remake for PS3 flying around…
But in truth–the President of Square Enix himself said that there was no remake planned currently. So at the moment, news of a remake are mostly just rumors….
If they were planning on making one, they said it would take 5 years minimum just for a graphical update. ><
A remake definitely wouldn’t do too badly (as long as it isn’t completely horrible…).
A PS3 remake, though, is hard to say….
For it to come out at a realistic time, they had to have already started development a while ago.
Though…Nomura did say that he would like to do a remake in the future when they had time….so maybe…..
Where’s the proof?
It remember seeing it somewhere here (www.google.com).
As ive said before, a remake would be a good idea for square cause it would make them a fortune considering how popular the game is.

It’s funny how you link to Google, since it isn’t exactly the best place to start searching for facts on matters such as this. All you’d get are rumors.
Likewise! I’m praying that it will come true and I also hope they will try and make a remake for the PS1 as well since the PS3 is expensive now and would be a good idea to put out a remake for the PS1 using the best it has to enhance the game even on a PS1 because it would be for the best since it would be a very bad dissapointment if only it was JUST for the PS3 but not for the PS1, all i’m saying is that it would at least make it fair that way because a ton of FF VII fans would also want this as well since a ton of FF VII fans hate the constant and only "Cloud & Tifa path" ya know? Some of us would absolutely love it if it were personally Cloud and Yuffie for this is my wish I have for FF VII ya know? 🙂
And at the rate that Sony can manufacture and profit from them, you’re more likely to see Sony brand toasters than a remake of FFVII.
In conclusion, leave FFVII alone, both Square-Enix and remake wishers.
That was quite comical, because I have a hangover. It’s all relative, see?
No?
Oh well.
Yes, but they never made FFVIII for PS2, so I doubt they’ll remake FFVII for PS3.
It will be good though, considering both the Original FF7 and the Greatest Hits ones are so over priced on ebay now.

Indeed! 😀
It’s a legend in general not just for the PS1, but since it is a classic they are not gonna mess around with it, some fanboys want the remake myself included but another part of me knows they should just leave it alone, they’ve already milked Final Fantasy VII for all it’s worth.

A remake is a remake, that means the same story and the paths that story takes, I dont mind the "cloud and tifa" path, unless you’re into necrophilia you might prefere aeris.
They will make a remake if its profitable to do so. I’ve read on wikipedia they plan on doing FFVII games, and whatever else untill it’s 20th anniversary, and this year is its 10th. 10 years ago they’d never have dreamed they could make so much money from FFVII alone nevermind make the game a benchmark for RPGs in its day and 10 years later make even more cash from quite an old game.

Wikipedia is a compilation of what’s readily available on the Internet and books, and is in no way an accurate representation of what a company intends to do. I know one of the mods and any one of them can edit an entry to say something as obviously wrong as say, "1+1=3".
Yes, companies like Square-Enix are in the business of video games to make money. But let me ask you what you think is more profitable, a group of people who love one game so much that they’d buy anything and everything related to it or an even bigger group of people who’d buy just about every game that looks appealing on the cover?
The answer is in the games that they’re releasing.
Square-Enix saw the opportunity to capitalize on the FF7 franchise buyers and the eye candy lovers by releasing "pretty" games with the FF7 label, but slowly they’re moving away from that. They see a need to adjust with the times. Let’s face it, the original lovers of FF7 are getting older and are moving away from video games and into making money. There’s no profit in trying to sell their product to them, so they turn to the younger generation and start to produce visually appealing games that are horribly easy for the experienced gamer.
I could care less if they made anything else with the FF7 label, I just won’t buy it.
I disagree that FF7 was used as a benchmark for other RPGs of the time, since development of a game takes years. I am open, however, to any kind of evidence you have that there were games that were based on the formula of FF7 and sold well (aside from anything labelled FF7).
What I say is more profitable is a combination of both. You can see how what SE are at, they make new games, go back to older games and re-release them or make add-ons, and after they saw the success of FFX-2, it opened new doors.
This doesnt mean they stop everything and just make FF7 if thats what you are implying or that they even could do that, there are simply too many people that want new characters, worlds, and games but dont want to let go of the characters and worlds that they already know. Its not complicated to know that milking FF7, one of their most famous pieces of work, is going to make them a lot of money, while still making their cash from other works. If I was the head of that company I’d be milking it myself, I dont blame them, FF7 is a heck of a game and they happened to leave the ending open to interpretations, not to mention killing off one of the most important characters in the game gave it a memorability we still see today through fanboys/girls whinging for Aeris’s revival. At the time, they knew fine rightly this would be big, and now they can go back and make cash of it. Fair play to them.
I disagree with what you say about the FF7 audience getting older and moving away from games, it would suprise you how many "older" people who were in their teens playing FF7 and now in their 20s or even 30s, that would give tooth and nail for more FF7 material. Age isnt such a factor with games the size of any Final Fantasy because they dont cater to people who want to load up a game, play it for an hour then turn off the console.
Take a look at Final Fantasy 11 and you’ll see a huge portion of players are in their 20s 30s and 40s, I personally play with more people on that game that are older then me then are younger, and I’m going on 21.
Personally I’ll buy games about FF7 that interest me or if I have a means of playing it, the whole issue of selling out doesnt bother me, call it shallowness but I’m not complaining ;).
Lastly, I’ll agree that calling it a benchmark was a mistake on my part but I wouldnt deny that FF7 opened the doors to RPGs in America. Before then RPGs wherent mainstream unless you lived in Japan. In the UK, the most you came to a long winding game was Mario.
You should have played some more games in your time. There are loads of games that are ‘long winding’ that were available in the UK before final fantasy 7

Don’t forget Terranigma, which was released in Europe before the rest of the world (i think)
