i think Square Enix should remake FFVII for PS2. that would be really cool. then the game could have voices and even better graphics. Who's with me on this?

No, they shouldn't. Leave it as it is. Otherwise people will complain about how Square ruined Final Fantasy VII with piss poor voice acting and taking away the feel of the graphics.

they shouldn't I think too...FF7 is great...
Furthermore Square is doing ff7 advent children;) I think it's enough...
Well ff7 advent children seems to be a wonderful film;)

Instead of Square doing a possible re-make of FFVII, I believe they instead came up with releasing a sequel to it. So, a re-make seems very unlikely at this point.

I'm sure that beefing up the graphics, and being able to hear Cloud and others speak would be cool. But, that could very well diminish the overall quality of the game. I say just leave it like it is, because even though it is not going to knock your socks off with graphics or voice acting, that is why this game should remain untouched. It has earned its reputation the right way: not using graphics and the advancements in today's technology to boost its appeal.

I think they should leave VII in the the past. No remakes. No sequels. No prequels. No movies. No more games. Nothing. Just focus on making some good new FFs. And frankly, from the perspective of the narrative, 7 doesn't warrant anything else.

i also think they should leave ff7 as it is, people will hate it and voices and new graphics woulkd add very little to the game(if not taking something away)
ff8 would be far more suitable for a remake imo as it is not as "sacred" among fans, and voices would really help the story since it is far more personal and characterdriven than ff7.

They should do new stuff, that Cloud fucker is starting to grow a lot of wrinkles. :(

The only thin they should do is update the gaphics and thats all.

I think remaking FFVII would be a great idea.

How many of us can honestly say we wouldn't like to see the game with graphics equal to FFX and faithfully reanimated FMVs? I don't see a problem with it as long as they preserve the story and gameplay elements that truly made the game great.

I think Square would understand the line they'd have to walk to make everyone happy and not go too far.

Then there's the fact that it would draw in a lot of people who never played it in its original form. That's a lot of extra revenue for Square, which can in turn be spent making new FFs.

I don't want to see it.

I mean, if Square said they were going to remake FFVI with all new graphics, I would complain too. The graphics are an integral part to the feel and the atmosphere of the game. It lends to the nature of the game in question, and gives it a character. I don't want to see FFVII or any other FF toyed with in this way.

(Although they did with FF1 and FF2, but I didn't play those on the NES, so I guess it makes a difference.)

Your point is well made, but I see it differently. Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

And anyway, I never said Square should stop marketing the old version. I see absolutely no reason why they couldn't coexist.

what i meant when i said they should remake it is that if they were 2 remake it i would want them 2 leave the whole storyline the same and the only new things would be better graphics and it would have voice-overs.

plus another reason they should remake it is u kno how the r making an FFVII Advent Children? mayb if they remade FFVII for PS2 more people would wanna c that 2?

Voice over would ruin the game for me. I have certain voices in my head for each character and hearing new ones would ruin it all for me.

So does this mean you're not gonna see Advent Children? :-P

ill see it but only because i have to. I just don't want FFVII to have voice overs because it just won't seem like FFVII. if they are to pdate anything only the graphics, the typos in the game should stay as well

If you don't mind, I'm gonna shove this into FFVII forum, so it doesn't get too confusing. :)

Well, as I said, even if you don't want to play it, that doesn't necessarily mean a remake is a bad idea as long as they continue to market the original version.

Good Idea Misao

As I stated many times earlier, the remake or sequel of FFVII is not going to appear, never. It's not gonna happen, although I would like to :(

It would be pretty cool if they remade FF7. As long as they didn't f**k it up. It be nice if they could just remake the graphics and maybe even add a few more little side mission. Or maybe even an alternate ending. But anything more than that would probably ruin the game.

Prcim vam majku pravite remake ako ga ne naprave papci su

Huh? sorry mate cannot understand you.

I think they sould remake all the ff1-8 to ps2, with ffX like graphics and music. it'll be soooooo retro!

You complain about how better graphics and voice acting would ruin the feel of FF7 yet everyone seems to be excited 'bout Advent Children. Sry People that makes no sense...Even though its not a remake or a sequel wouldnt it be sad if the movie didn't have that "ff7 magic" that the game has that made it unique.

Give Everyone Good Voices And Better Graphics Will Be Good, But Ill Kill Square Enix If They Give Cloud A Crap Voice :o They Should Also Had Some Extra Bits, Like New Characters To Unlock, New Itema, And Maybe Even Allow You To Control Sephiroth ETC. In The Dark Side Mode (If They Make The Dark Side Mode?) (Unlock It When You Complete Game?) That Would Be Good, I Like Sephiroth :D And Make The Game Longer, That Would Be Fun

Heh...all very good,, but I read that they're not going to make a sequal. I didn't really like it, but meh..I'll live with it

leave the original FF7 as it is....

well i say leave it. One thing anyone here played Kingdom Hearts because cloud is in it and you here his voice(he is one of the bosses).

you're right. FFx was brilliant but like most voice-acted games, all the voices are stereotypical USA voices (i'm not being racist).

i think that the speech bubbles in FF1-9 were brilliant anyway. any comments?

I didn't see a problem with the voices themselves. At many points, the acting left a lot to be desired, but that's another issue entirely.

If the English voices were stereotypical, aren't the Japanese voices also stereotypical? The game doesn't have any kind of real world cultural elements that get lost in translation, so I don't see how it was a problem.

As for speech bubbles, they're all right (a little too hard to skip in most cases), but Square has always tried to keep their games advancing with technology. They used speech bubbles because there was no other way to do it. They didn't use voice acting then because they couldn't. Now they can.

Anyway, as I've stated before, there are people who would like to see FFVII updated and those who would not. I think a perfect compromise would be reached by remaking it, but keeping the original version available for anyone who doesn't want to play the new one.

i agree, especially in the Lifestream sequence in Mideel!



sorry if i was being a bit picky, but I preferred the speech bubbles and yes, if SquareSoft had tried making voice acting in FF7, it would have been about 8 discs long, seen as though DVDs are about the sizer of 6 discs (i think, correct me if im wrong!)

Now here's a good question for you. If a PS2 remake of FFVII was released, would you be able to resist the temptation to try it out, even if you were opposed to the idea? And be honest.

no, of course I would, because I love Final Fantasy VII and all Final Fantasy's and I'm sure I would enjoy it. Its just then everyone would forget about the original which may be better, unless they added things instead of just remaking the game identically.

i would deffinately love to see ff7 remade, but id have to get a new memory card cus my friend messed mine up, anyways im gettin off subject here..........i dont see why anyone wouldnt want them to remake it, cus it means better graphics, same good storyline, awesome videos, maybe some extra stuff, and maybe some cool voices, theres nothing wrong with any of that unless they gave them crappy voices, but i think they put a good voice on cloud in kingdom hearts, yuffie and aeris had good voices too

it dont matter to me if thay remade it for the PS2
i would play it no matter what

1. if thay remade it thay would have to change a lot of stuff so every thing we seen and FF7 for the PS mit not be there in the PS2 ver.
2.thay allready talked about makeing FF7 FF8 and FF9 for the PS2
but thay said there not going to

if thay can pull it off without changeing nothing it would be cool
but that would be hard to pull off and I dont what to see no changeing in FF7 and thay would have to make some for the PS2 ver.

Cloudfan so that why

so no thay dont need to remake or any FF
becase i dont what to see any changes in any of tham

btw if thay did to pull if off thay dont have to do voice overs

Interesting question. Personally, I do wish there was a re-make to a small extent - conversion of those midis to mp3s (I play FF7 on PC) and some improvement on scenery and character detail. C'mon, those blocky hands are annoying! Wish the characters on the actual screen/battles had the same kind of detail as Aeris in the opening movie. Ah yes, 1024x768 resolution please and gfx supported by ATI as well as Nvidia.

However, the retro look really kinds of fits in with FF7...Final "Fantasy"...makes it seem "Fantasy". Screenshots of the newer FF looked too "real" if you get what I mean...just doesn't look like "fantasy". What I'm demanding isn't really "that" major and isn't worth the millions of $$$ a redesign of the graphics would incur.

If they redevelop FF7, it might be a hit with the new generation of gamers who were not present back in 1997 but might be an eyesore for people who already know the original and vice versa.

As for Advent Children, I would be on the lookout on its release. However, from the (Japanese) trailer, it seems to have a lot of motorcycle sequences which I wasn't too amused (I really, REALLY hated the motorcycle mini-game). I also didn't like Tifa's voice unfortunately. Barrett is probably the best rendered character but looks too young for a 30+ year old.

On voices- The people who did voices for Kingdom Hearts were magnificent, although it was suprising that Lance Bass(guy from either Nsync or BS Boys, dont know, dont really care :p ) did the voice for Sephiroth. You'd think he'd have a highy pitched girly voice. =) Steve Burton did Cloud's voice, and it was superb.
(BTW, Kingdom Hearts is an AMAZING game, I recommend any FF fan to play it...)

Personally I'd like to see a revamped version of FF7, better graphics, voices, but no changes to the storyline... thats bad. ;)
(Hell, maybe even new music- but then again, Nobuo's(SP?) music is one of the things that made FF7 great.)

i didnt mean change the storyline the game
if thay made it for the ps2 every something would not be there that was in the PS ver.

xbox and ps2 thay get a new game there the same game but one is for the xbox and the other is for the ps2,you play it for the ps2,than you play it for the xbox
thay have the same storyline.but whan you beat it,
you wouldnt see the same suff in the ps2 and xobx ver. the both game's

so if thay made FF7 for the PS2 not every thing would be the same
like if thay add vocie over's the video would be longer there a change, the batte's mit not be the same,and other thing would not be the same.if you want me to go into tell you more about the other thing that we not be the same
PM me or look it up, tho I dont see why any one wouldnt now becase ever gamer need to now if thay remade a game not every thing would be the same
that one reson Square said thay wasnt going to remake it

i still would love FF7 if thay remade it i am just saying thay would be lots of changes

If they put voice-acting into the game, it would ruin it. Think of the voice acting for FFX. Now go cleanse your soul.

However, updated graphics would be great! Someone had said something along the lines of "imagine FF7 with FFX graphics." I'm imagining, and I'm thinking about going out back and lynching myself.

FF8 and FFX characters looked like garbage. They were WAY too big for an RPG. If they remade FF7, they would have to stick with the prerendered background and do some nice 3D character modeling, but they'd have to keep the characters small and keep the colors calm. One main problem I have with these new school PS2 RPG graphics is the fact that everything is so damn colorful.

that would be soooooooo good it was my favorite 1 out of the series

Hm, Id think it be neat if FF13 was FF8's story, With FF10's graphics and voice overs, and FF7'S gameplay and materia system.

I Think you guys are thinking too far with the graphics, If they moved it to the PS2 all they would do is clean it up, get rid of the pixelated graphics, and add new character models. It would just look alot more CLEAR, As far as voice overs, If they dont work who cares?! Play the original or turn voices off, It would help squares cash pile anyway.

I dont think square enix is gonna make a remake of ff7 there makeing new ff game i dont think a remake is ever gonna happin, but it would be cool

Ding ding, exactly my thoughts. They SHOULD NOT remake FFVII with enchanced anything, if they remake it atleast just remake it with a bonus disk or somthing. Remaking it with better graphics and voices will just ruin the game and I'll more than likely end up looking down on the game because of it, many people will agree with me.

Currently, Tetsuya Nomura says that he doesn't have the interest to do so...But a sequal? Sure, why not!

Just think of it in anime-like graphics. Kingdom hearts style! I don't think it would lose the feel at all. In fact, if they kept the MIDIS and soundtracks and everything, I don't see how it couldn't work?:(

To me it would be a dream come true! I bet you anything that you would LOVE to see Cloud in his wall market dress, complaining on how he doesn't want to wear it! And the scene in the @#$%! room..::shiver::

Another thing I would love to see is the promise between Cloud and Tifa and the Highwind scene! Not to mention Cosmo canyon.:o

I'd like to stick to hearing voices in my head, kthnx. Maybe Square-Enix just needs to start a whole new RPG series other than FF for once? Give the FF series a break.

No way. It's going to go on for ever. Officially.

a re-make sounds awesum, exept more weapon customs, and if they can update the skill system on ff10 and put it on there, that was realy realy cool

I would luv them 2 make a remake of it but they wont so im not goin 2 complain but wot pissin me of is that the are makin a pre-quel but the r puttin on the a mobile which will be shit. If they would put it on the ps2 aalot more ppl woud buy it an it would improve the game alot

I love FF7 but the grafics are dated and the music althrough brilliant (especially one winged angel and jenova) needs to be properly recorded not just midis. I dont think they aught to take anything outof the game but if anyone here has played breath of fire 4, where you play the part of the hero and the bad guy, letting you play out Sephiroths portions of the story would be cool. I got to agree with Mr. Cheese that making a prequel for on mobiles is a piss-poor idea.

I'm Probably the only one saying this but Yeah because if they remade it or did a sequel Aeris could come back! Don't yell at me or get in an arguement like 'SHE"S DEAD' GET OVER IT!!!!!! i just would like it
