Id be so mad if they did a FF8 remake instead of a FF7. not because FF8 is a bad game (its very good and im sure the remake would be amazing tbh) But more just because it would have meant S.E had decided to do a remake and totaly gone against the fans! :P

and a FF8 remake would be good

A FF7 Remake would be AMAZING!

Bleh, more remakes. I'm indifferent to remakes...they're nice in that the people who may have missed them the first time around get to play them. But those who did play them...feel it's a waste of time and resources, when they could be working on another new project or something.

Many people dislike FF8 due to plot holes and poor story development. I however liked the game, and prefer the FF games that take place in future settings. I never played all the way through FF9 as it didnt interest me.

I would hope they would remake FF7 first, over FF8, but sadly I don't think either will happen. Those games are best left in the past. The stories have been told and it is time to move on with new ones.

i think i would like to see both of them remade. FF8 at some point in the future anyway. it was my first FF game and i love it and found it to be pretty amazing. The draw system was boring but it felt like the more you did it the more powerful you became, instead of just learning a new spell. FF7's materia system is awesome to though of course.

I think it wouldnt be a suprise to say that if they are remaking any ff game, its 7. which is fine by me. i only played through it once, would love to again. and you know even the people who have played it over and over and over again...would play the remake over and over and over again most likely.

I would prefer not to see anymore remakes. Having said that, I think Square should re-release all the titles up to 10 in one huge special edition package.

well as far as i see it, alot of different people including myself consider FF8 to be a 'good' Final Fantasy game.

As much as I enjoyed FF7, FF8 holds a special place to my heart. Hell I even tattoo Squall's Chain (Griever) on my arm. My thoughts with the whole FF7 remake is that Square-Enix is going to package the FF7 remake with the Blu-Ray version of FF7-Advent Children. We haven't heard anything more about the movie for about a year now since the mention a Blu-Ray version of the movie. So my guess they are packaging both to make a serious profit.

Now with FF8. Boy would I love a remake. I believe a lot of people complain about the junction system and the love story. First off the junction system is amazing because allows for some serious customization. The love story I could understand why people didn't like it but, every RPG has a one point the theme of love between characters. So what makes FF8 any different?

All in all I would love a remake of both games but my preference would be FF8 then FF7. But Square-Enix would never do release FF8 before FF7.

I think you all will kill me because of this but I would rather like Final Fantasy "Classics" to be on PSP not PS3.

Square Enix started porting FF's to PSP with I, II and Tactics. Then they publish FF7:CC. I would love to see all FF's up to 9 on PSP so Sony's consoles would have them all.

Is SE publish FF 1-9 (yes, remaking 7,8 and 9 with the FF7:CC engine) it woud be incredible. I can only Hope.

SE should be investing a lot of money giving us NEW Final Fantasies on PS3. Let the "old ones" be on PSP.

I think FF8 doesn't need a remake.. It's just perfect for me! and if there is any ff remake I want to see FF6 and maybe Chrono Trigger.. but I think they cancelled CT..:cry:

VIII was my first and favourite of the series as a game itself. However VII had an incredible story and cast of characters that I wanted it to be my favourite, that is possibly the same with others and just put it there as their favourite. A remake, of course I'd play the remakes and most likely love them but. Square-Enix need to stop leeching off old titles for money which SquareSoft developed. I just feel its better to see past titles as relics of the mind and great memories. Not crop up every next gen because fans want to play with better graphics. Then you also have those people who were too stubborn to play VII just because of the graphics then they will be like : "Oh yeah this is awsome". Uhh 10 years ago you said the same game was crap. VIII Would be very nice to see but the original is good enough in my opinion. I heard also IV was to be remade, won't be long until it scales up the series, they need to stop living in the past for money, Final Fantasy was supposed to be their 'Final' game and it saved them I know that. But perhaps they need to overcome the past and start work on new series, the more FF games that appear the more I'll buy. But really they need to focus on something fresh, work more on 'The Last Remnant' and other future titles.

Lpsquall

For me it wasn't the love story that was the problem it was the annoying characters, lack of development, the junction system, and plotholes like crazy. Selphie, Quistis, Rinoa and Irvine all acted as if they were 13 years old.(you might even add zell to that list but i actually liked his character) Then it came to character development it was just stinking horrible you knew more about Seifer then you did with most of your own playable characters. The junction system would've been a great idea if it didn't discourage you to use magic. Don't even get me started on the plotholes since you switch main enemies about 20 times throughout the game.

There are goods like Squall and Zell, graphics, and weapons and GFs. Don't get me wrong, it is a really good game but it comes nowhere close to the likes FFVI and FFVII. It will be remade eventually,more than likely at the 20 anniversary of FF8 it will be remade (which is in i think 2019).

I love 7 but I would rather see 8 done. I'll agree with most that that would be dumb on squeenix's part because most of the fans want 7. for most fans it would be like winning a million dollars but they decide to give you 800000 instead, you're still getting something great just not quite what you want.

Id rather a final fantasy 8 remake, final fantasy 7 is good, but 8's story is way better final fantasy 7 just has alot of poeple jumping on the badwagon saying its the greatest, when it isnt ,theyve made extras for final fantasy 7, a preqaul and a film cant argue with that, now give final fantasy 8 summit, even if they remade it on the ps2 with final fantasy 10 graphics, it would be awesome and i bet so many people would buy it, and i bet its cheap for developers to make a ps2 game now
