    I had the older final fantasy VII and I have to say that it is by far the best RPG I have ever played and I believe if Square Enix remade this for any system not just the ps3 the sales for that system would increase by monumental levels

    Bleh, everyone wants this remade. Insanity. Really. No, seriously, imagine you're one of the people at square. Guess what? You've just been told that you're going to be spending what'll probably be 2 years plus working on something that you've already gone over with a fine toothed comb. No real shred of your creativity will be used here, nope.

    Yeah , sure, it'd be super pretty, oh my, but imagine having the monotonous job of having to work on an what is essentially a graphical overhaul. One that's going to span a chunk of your career, that could be spent on something new and exciting. It's not like remaking a movie, you're not doing your own spin on it, no, you're making THE EXACT SAME THING that existed before. Heck, besides pestering a slew of people into zombie-ish boredom on something that'll sound cool at first, you'll also be playing the same game that i'm sure many of you clamouring for this have worn out multiple copies of. Worse than losing interest after playing something so familiar will be the lack of the nostalgia high. No warm feeling is going to rise in your chest and add to the enjoyment when the soft colors and cute characters are replaced by something super-state-of-the-art-"OH MY GOSH LOOKS SO REAL"

    Man, i'm almost ranting. Heh, and the comedy: most of the time strange humor seen in many of these games styled with cutesy characters doesn't translate very well into realistic looking ones. It passes from being light hearted and cute to embarrassing and "Groan, change the channel, quick, I can't look anymore ;_;"

    I'm not saying change isn't good, that I'd like to stick to the old, i'm saying it'd -feel- old pretty darned fast and much of the experience will be "OH MAN I WANDER WHAT THAT'LL LOOK LIKE." Wouldn't you rather see something new, something that the people involved nurtured from conception with every fiber of their soul, a game that'll wow you in entirely different ways than something you've seen a million plus times?

    I apologize if that seemed all over the place, I've the ADD :O

    there are games that make me kind of want a ps3 but none that have really motivated me so far to fork over a chunk of what little money i make to get it

    if they remade FF7 for ps3, there isnt a shred of doubt in my mind i would go out and pick one up

    seriously, square, sony, you guys could see quite a boost in ps3 sales just from a remake of this

    DO IT... NOW

    O.o, This is under gameplay. Anyway, i don't think they'll make a exact copy of this for the ps3 with better graphics and gameplay. I think they will change stuff a bit. I just finished playing final fantasy vii. If you played it you would know too.

    wow that was awsome to bad the producer said they not in to doing remakes but i swear all you would have to do to this game is bump up the graphics and put the new fighting engine on it but who cares about the engine i wanna see it they way they wanted it to be seen

    I really do hope that Squaresoft, or SquareEnix, is redeveloping "Final Fantasy VII" exclusively for the PlayStation3 under secretive conditions. FFVII had made the PlayStation it's home console, and I believe that it can only be contained on SONY's BluRay Discs. I hope along with remaking this game for PS3, that all minigames will be made more involving, with more depth and interactivity, and perhaps a bit more grown-up dialogue. There are other areas that don't come to mind that I would like developers to retouch on. Well, I have been hearing that there are those who don't fully understand the story in FFVII. I thought I had a very full experience in playing through. For the sake of covering all angles, then perhaps the developers could incorporate key moments from "Crisis Core." I can understand that SquareEnix, or what have you, have placed a massive amount of focus on their current projects. I want to make it known, that I would most certainly pay more than what the average game is priced on store shelves, to experience the world of Final Fantasy VII all over again on the PlayStaiton3-with next-gen graphics, advanced gameplay mechanics, and all there is that would make an RPG this memorable worth another epic play through.

    Final Fantasy VII was incredibly popular back in the day. 10 million units sold worldwide. Now everyone knows about it, more people have signed up for Fianl Fantasy games, I can guarentee more people will buy it.
    In short, Square, Remake FFVII NOW!!!!

    If they remade this game with the better graphics, it would be a wrap. A must have. I think crime might go up a little because of some people. It would be more than incredible.

    Are they really planing to remake this on the PS3? If so, will they port it to the 360? The 360 has all the RPG's anyway...

    Square Enix said they did not even think about a remake, they simply did this demo to show how graphically brilliant the game would look if they did do a remake. Since this demo, they confirmed that they have been flooded with millions of letters saying that they can't tease people with a tech demo and not bring a remake out. So it's not about if Final Fantasy VII is re-released on PS3, it's more like when it's re-released on the PS3. So don't be dis-hearted, it will probably come out. I hate my PS3, I think they are rubbish, I play on my Wii more, but I will stay on my PS3 night and day if this game came ot for it.

    Is it so wrong for me to wish that this would be more than just a tech demo? Is it so wrong to be a 13 year old child in middle school having his mind blown by this awesome game trapped in a 23 year old mans body?

    Has a remake been confirmed? It makes a lot of sense if they are... I'd buy a PS3 just to play it!

    You can watch that same video (with additional voice of Cloud) after the end of Crisis Core... but of course I can't wait when it'll be released on PS3 in full conversion...

Try not to get too depressed by this incredible-looking PlayStation 3 rendition of the classic Square role-playing game because it is only a technology demo.
