    Final Fantasy VII is #2 on my list of games I would love to see remade. The original is still playable, but so obviously technology limited.

    I'm still fine with playing the original.

    Mmm... I love the smell of FFVII remake baiting in the morning. It smells like.... desperation for page hits.
    So long & thanks for all the fish!

    The only reason i want a ff7 remake is so that they can incorporate all the new plot elements and characters introduced in crisis core. I would love to see how angeal, genesis, hollander, and the other faction of SOLDIER could be worked into the storyline of ff7.

    Also, lets not forget the fact that genesis is still alive at the end of dirge of cerberus, so they also need to complete the ff7 storyline with atleast one more sequel game.

    And make the flanderization of Cloud and Sephy official?

    I'd rather they just re-issue the game with consistent visuals and redo the localization. That's about all it needs really. The compilation cruft should be kept out of it thank you very much.

    As long as people still buy anything with FFVII in the title they'll never wrap up everything with a nice tight bow. Besides, why does everyone need a conclusive ending to a story?

    I say they're saving an FF7 remake for when they're in serious financial trouble. Like "OMG! We can only afford to make one big name title and it must sell or we're done for!" trouble. They have had it rough lately, but they're still pumping out a lot of games, so I they must okay. That, or they're saving it for a time, as unlikely as it may sound, the FF name stops being popular. That's what I would do anyway.

    Seconded. A few tweaks here and there to make the core gameplay feel a little fresher and spice up the graphics, but leave the story alone.

    Is losing 12 billion yen by the end of March enough to break the glass holding the FF7 remake?

    The graphics of VII make it hard for me to enjoy. I think that 3D polygonal type graphica should have been skipped in the 32 bit era, and they should have stuck with Sprites. That said, FF VII and Xenogears get my pick for most wanted remake =)

    you are entitled to your opinion.

    @shop

    I dont need the story perfectly wrapped up in a bow, but alot of people, myself included, really enjoyed Genesis as a character and would like for there to be some sort of resolution to his story.

    The doc ending is just left far to open.

    A Kojima, Nomura and Kitase game would be so incomprehensible that it'd wrap back around itself and become Shakespeare.

    Apparently not. $142 million? Not that big a loss for a large company like Square Enix.

    C'mon maybe Kojima said it to Nomura as a joke to see he's reaction. They just where eating together.
    Never buy a game published by D3 Publisher that is not WKCII. They cheated on their fans by releasing a game that they didn't support not even for a year and they released a rushed translation.

    Personally, I'm at the point where I'd love to see the remake, just so people would STFU about it. It's not really a game that deserves as much attention as it gets.

    And honestly, Maudren, Dirge of Cerberus makes me cry, so it's best if that's just forgotten.

    Agreed. I enjoyed Crisis Core moderately but the plot and characters are just a simplified rehash of FFVII (Zack = Cloud, Genesis = Seph, crazy professor guy = Hojo). I for one was furious to see they had tampered with the scene in the Nibelheim reactor and put Genesis in it.

    I wouldn't mind some references to Crisis Core as easter eggs, but nothing more. To me all these FF7 spinoffs feel a bit cheap and cynical and I'd rather not have them as part of the canon.

    Crisis Core didnt feel cheap to me. Seemed like a full legit game that gave depth to characters who had none in ff7.

    As for dirge, i never played it so i cant judge. I just knew genesis was in it from a youtube vid.

    But even without the knowledge of his appearance in doc, genesis just gets grabbed by random dudes in cc and taken away. I want to know what happens to him. Its not unreasonable to want to know his ultimate fate.

    The scene of the reactor was just flashbacks of what Cloud and Zack saw so it was easy to tamper with but Zack never mentioned anything about Genesis in FFVII so if theyre-do FFVII they have to tamper with it too.

    Dirge makes Crisis Core look like game of the year. Basically it's only selling point was being a FF7 spinoff, otherwise it was just a clunky half-assed third person shooter that no one would look twice at if it didn't have Vincent on the cover.

    No. That would be an awful thing. If that happened, then the ending would result in Meteor killing everyone. Holy wasn't enough; the Lifestream was necessary as well.

    Not only it will be awful but it will be non canon and Advent Children clearly state that she will stay dead.

    oookaaay...

    I formally withdraw my mention of aeris resurrection before I start a holy war among loyal fans.

    There's still technical arguments on whether it could have happened but I think the issue of what canon dictated is pretty solid. Performing a textual audit of the .iso files would clear up a few issues. I have extracted very useful hints after popping game discs into the computer and opening up a text editor on the code.

    In fact I now recall that when I was here 5 years ago, the moderation team was very emphatic about putting the issue to rest, officially I might add. It was not a welcome subject in any sense of the word.

    You should be able to resurrect Aeris, but if you do Meteor destroys the planet and there's no way to avert it, so advent children and dirge never happens.

    It could be said that Aeris was a personification of Jesus in FFVII.

    My take on reviving Aeris? Don't do it. As much as I loved her, her death served a purpose. Maybe make it so we can actually TRADE OUT her equipment though, or give us a scene with her "Mother" about her death...cause seriously, some of those things got you 0 cash for selling, and it actually hurt me to sell them when they had too many memories of her.

    But, one thing I want with FF7 remake is an add-on of Before Crisis (come on, you all know you want this game just for the Turks). Or at least make that a DS game. COME ON SE, GIVE ME THE TURKS!

    I'll agree with the equipment issue.

    Having a fragile healer on your team tempts equipping with decent armor. Having a character death ambush you and have that armor permanently confiscated was very frustrating and I lost a good Edincoat.

    At least the materia got dumped out first.
