Final Fantasy VII Remake - Yes or No?

Personally,i'd rather a game,that takes place 2-5 years after Dirge of Cerberus,but if they could do both,that'd be awesome!

Yes, because lets face it. Final Fantasy XIII sucked. Square has no ideas left to make a great Final Fantasy game. So remake it, it worked for Resident Evil.

I say yes. I am currently replaying FFVII, and I would love to see it done with better graphics.

Final Fantasy XIII was garbage. It was the last straw for me, which means that I've lost my complete faith in the series after playing it.

That being said, a remake on FFVIII? I love the original the way it is, so I prefer that they do not.

They'd ruin it with a voice track.

Yes, i willl definitely get it. My favorite FF game.

Only if they don't add voices or, if they do, have an option to turn them off. And they would have to keep the game the way it is, just with newer graphics and fixed translations. The only things they should add are a few extra side quests, new places to explore with new enemies and maybe some new Materia.

But if they did remake it, they will f*** it up anyway... :(

What are you talking about! :S

Technology is so evolved today,it'd be awesome!

Definitely no with current SE. They will ruin it plus horrid VA and script. If Versus XIII is well received by fans then let Nomura handles the remake. If Versus XIII isn't good then forget it. Might as well destroy FF brand by selling it to Activision.

Better tech does NOT mean better games.

Heck yes, it would sell like crazy.

Final Fantasy VII was okay but there are better Final Fantasy games out there. Also, Final Fantasy XIII was not a bad game.

I rather get HD versions of VI and IX.Dracula68

Drac, you're simply a genius. I would even love to see VI redone in 3d as III in HD. If done correcty, that would be really something. And I'd really love to see IX in HD as well, it would be awesome if they remastered the videos in the game too. I'd love to see the fight between bahamut and alexander in hd remastered glory. :)

I think it would be awesome. Don't see why so people are against voices though, I think the cast they hired for the spin offs were great. Well... Except Vincent. I am not a fan of his gruffy Wolverine voice, but I got used to it and it doesn't bother me much anymore. But the rest, I think,are perfect.

But yeah, it certainly wouldn't hurt to have an option to turn them off for the people who don't like them, but they should definitly give them voices if they are gonna make the game. And I don't have any reason to belive the remake would turn out bad either. Just because FF XIII had problems, doesn't mean they will do the same thing with a VII remake.

Well we are seeing tons or HD collections releasing lately so that would be my pick. If we ever had one of course:P

No, after FF13 i dont trust squeenix anymore as a developer.

I like FF7 and i just know they will screw it up.

They might as well. It's not like SE has any better ideas to spend their time on.

I liked how, in the old days, role-playing games like Final Fantasy IV made you use your imagination for voices. Today, it's hard to do so, since they include them in the game, so we are used to them. Whether that's a positive or negative, I'm not sure, but sometimes, I just wish for an RPG with little to no voice at all, but only in rare instances.

[QUOTE="BranKetra"] This. FF Advent Children was bad, but the lack of voices added another layer to the fantasy to the game.

The only two Tales games I've played, from start to finish, was Abyss and Vesperia. Luke (from Abyss) was such a crybaby in the beginning, but it's how the story was told, so I didn't have much complaint about him, just irrirated every now and then. But both games had great voice acting for all characters involved. As for the handhelds, that's no surprise to me at all.

Make V and VI first!

a remake would be cool. Not just a hd remake like PoP and GoW series. A total graphical remake so it looks like it is a ps3 game.

A dirge of cerberus game remake would be cool. (only if they included options to edit the controller scheme)

Every FF has been crap after 10.

But I personally think square should remake chrono trigger.

It was the same for me with FFVII. Up to that point,I was playing fighting games like MK, SF, action and sport games. I like fiction, so it was kind of like reading a book, only actually taking part in the story.

They might as well. It's not like SE has any better ideas to spend their time on.

Thanks.

Any more opinions?

Yes, because lets face it. Final Fantasy XIII sucked. Square has no ideas left to make a great Final Fantasy game. So remake it, it worked for Resident Evil.

So you'd trust a company that hasn't made a good Final Fantasy in almost a decade to remake possibly the greatest RPG ever made? I don't think so. For this very reason I really want FFVII to remain only in the original Playstation, without any remakes, reboots and the like.

No, I rather see a remake to Tactics War of the Lions, FFIX,VI, VIII. I would include FFXII but it's way too soon to even hope for a remake of that title.

If they can do it and manage to make a profit, I would say go for it. It would be enough to justify buying a console. The remake treatment has worked for other classics, so FFVII should be a no-brainer.

Nope, the amount of writing, scripting and cinematics involved to keep up with the current standards of big production values will most likely kill square-enix. I dont even think a FFVII remake would significantly sell more than FFXIII anyway.

On the handhelds though, I think it's possible for a slight update for the handhelds and smartphone -- that is a huge market to take advantage of.

ff7 hd remake ohh yes

Please no. In fact, gamers would be fine without another Final Fantasy game period.

No, I rather see a remake to Tactics War of the Lions,

jasonharris48

Considering War of the Lions was already an update, I don't see why this would ever happen.

Final Fantasy XIII was garbage.

Metamania

I'm not sure why you give this game so much grief. All SE did was remove the illusion that FF featured open worlds. You ought to thank SE for streamlining away the needless bloat.

And I'd rather see a FFX remake before VII.foxhound_fox

Truer words have never been spoken. FF has never had an open world free to skip around in... until the end of the game. Most all FF's have overworld maps but the progression through that vast overworld has always been linear. Until the end of the game, where usually an airship is obtained, is where the game opens up and you're free to do as you please, or just progress to the game's final encounter. It baffled me at the amount ofpeople who condemned FF13 due to it's linearity. At the end of the game, you're free to go to Gran Pulse and do all the side missions, and Titan's Challenge.

While it may not be as exciting as exploring an overworld map, or have the crazy amounts of side content that some other FF's have, it followed the same formula as others IMO.

Its gonna take more than a FFVII remake to get me to buy another square game. FFXIII was pretty bad, but it was that pile of **** FFXIV that did it for me. I'm done with them.

Final fantasy remake 10000 yes from me.I cant wait anymore it is the best game of my life along with castlevania symphony of the night

i was having fun with final fantasy 13 until i reached the 3rd hour and the game froze on the same loading screen 8 times in a row on my less than two week old xbox. square straight up stole my money and i'll never purchase another square product again after last remnant (another broken game) and final fantasy 13 basically stole money from me.

No. Pray be to the gods no. I believe FFVII is a classic that should be left untouched. If they do, the only way I may be convinced enough to check it out is if there is no voice acting, as I am a firm believer that VA is done (in the majority of JRPGs I've played) poorly in English.
