so bad that Square Enix has no plan for Final Fantasy VII Remake

"During the Q&A session of the company's annual shareholder's briefing (transcribedhere), Wada was asked the expected question about the much wanted remake. His response was something to the effect of, we'll make a Final Fantasy VII remake once we've made a Final Fantasy game that exceeds the quality of FFVII.

If you get the feeling that this statement belittles Square Enix's current development prowess, you're pretty much spot on. Wada admitted that at present, the company is not making Final Fantasy games that exceed the quality of FFVII. If they were to release a 7 remake right now, the FF franchise would be done with, he said.

While the staff would happily make an FFVII remake, this is something that if they decided to do, they'd have to give it their full effort."

It would be too difficult to do because of the overworld map, plus areas were easier to churn out back then because of the ease of build, smaller teams, and lower polygon count. Now, the current bar for graphics is that it has to be "out of this world" otherwise it's useless.

Idiots! That's exactly why they should release the graphically remastered FF7. WHy not? If you cannot top it, and never will, why not just remaster the best FF game and re sell it. They'd make bank.

Final Fantasy VI (or III on SNES) was the best in the series and it's not even close.

Hopefully they just leave it alone. They should have just stopped making Final Fantasy when Sakaguchi left, because the series has been unbearable since X (I know Sakaguchi worked on X but it was still bad). I appreciate that they still have ambition but X, X-2, XI, XII, XIII, XIII-2, XIV, and Crystal Chronicles are all really bad. Crisis Core was decent and the Tactics/Dissidia series are still good but I haven't played a good Final Fantasy RPG since IX. The past is best left alone. I have no faith that anyone at Square Enix could do VII justice.

Which is the excuse people started using just as Square-Enix started saying it. D: Yet games like Ni No Kuni have a overworld map and amazing graphics..

This. Although I'll disagree with you on one thing, FFX-2 wasn't all THAT bad. If you take it for what it is, it's really a pretty decent game even if it is a bit cheesy.

With all the past FF games they've remade in the past, i find it ironic they refuse to remake this one. All the better i suppose. They'd just probably screw it up judging from their recent track record. You hear me SE?? LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!

FFVI sucks pretty hard actually and isn't half as good as the best Final Fantasy and best game of all time (FFVII).

If they remade the game, most of the FF fans would whine about it anyway. A true remake would most likely remove the world map, and create an environment that most of you would consider too linear lol. Sometimes its easy to forget, that even though FF7 was a great game, you were running around on top of fixed images... More often then not, when running on these fixed images, you could only go down a set path... The new formula is in the form of FFX and FFXIII. Both games looked great, had decent battle systems, well detailed character models, stories that were on par with other FF games, but a set path and no world map. I have a feeling that a remake would do more harm then good. By today's graphical standards, fans could realize that final fantasy 7 was much more linear then they imagined. Unfortunately FF7 is hard to swallow visually...some may argue that it is easier on the eyes to play SNES FF games, rather then the early stage low res 3D polygon renderings of the PS1 days...

Just another reason SE fails so hard nowadays. They would make so much money from a remake and I'm sure people would prefer it more over anotherFFXIII spin-off.

Sure, thats why everyones lining up asking when the much awaited FF6 remake is finally going to happen. Being a different kid is fun, and by all means like what you like, but.... Its 7. Its always been 7. It always will be 7.
