Okay, surely most of you have seen, or heard of, the 'technical demo' that Square-Enix just HAD to tease us with. They redid the opening scene of Final Fantasy Seven in Advent Children-style graphics. It was absolutely astounding.

But then they announced that they weren't going to make a remake! It was just to 'see what it would look like!' =-O

What is this?!

So, I was wondering if people here would like to start some form of a petition to get the attention of Square Enix, if there isn't one going around already.

How does that sound? Wouldn't it be great to see Final Fantasy VII remade in Advent Children quality graphics?

First of all, they weren't Advent Children-style graphics. They were PS3 style graphics, which are better than the CG stuff.

No petition is going to garner any attention from Square Enix whatsoever. People have been begging and pleading for years now to remake the game, and something like this stupid thread is not going to do anything.


How does that sound? Wouldn't it be great to see Final Fantasy VII remade in Advent Children quality graphics?
No, it wouldn't. I'm sick and tired of fanboys demanding the game to be remade with better graphics. Better graphics is not going to make the game better, I'm sorry. Period.

Oh, stop being such a party pooper.

There's a website that lets you start petitions. It probably won't work, but hey if we get a lot of 'signatures' who knows.

Oh, and FFVII with better graphics would make it better. The graphics are dated and it would be nice to play it through with them remastered. Remakes usually yield 'extras' as well. They could add a ton of cool new things to make all the gamers wet themselves again. In short: FFVII + great graphics + extras = better than the original. Illogical? I think not.

Here's a petition on the site I was thinking of asking this very thing.

http://www.petitiononline.com/FF7RMKE/petition.html

Just get the word out and the numbers will climb.

FF7 was a good game but I'm not sure that a re-make is a good idea, especially when they could be making NEW FF's.

YES!!!!! I reackon that is a heaps good idea....i always wondered wat FF7 would be like with better graphics.....

Stop being sucha pain, Smokey. You can tell him that nicely without insults. Stop behaving like a 2-year old. I know all of this is getting on your nerves, but your stupid comments are also getting on everyone else's nerves, ok.
But I guess you're right. This thread isn't going to change anything. Players have been asking for a remake of this game for years now and nothing's happened.
But who knows. I do believe in wonders. Maybe, but just maybe there is a chance...who knows. Maybe one day they will remake FFVII. That certainly would be great. I say let's just wait and see.

Monk, shut the fuck up. Smokey is just as entitled to his opinion as anyone else. Also, he didn't insult anyone even once. He was very clear and concise, so saying he's behaving like a 2 year old is ridiculous, especially considering that you're acting the same way you falsely accuse him of.

First of all, Smokey did insult him when he said that his thread is stupid. The guy is just trying to find a way to convince Square to make a FFVII remake. Well, to be honest, this thread is definetly not going to convince them to remake this game, but at least he's trying something, and calling that stupid is an insult.

Besides, I just told Smokey that there is a nicer way to say what he wanted to say. I never meant to insult Smokey. Well, ok, saying that he's behaving like a 2-year old was a mistake, and it was an insult. I shouldn't have said that. I made a mistake. I told him to behave nicely while not doing the same thing myself, and I'm sorry about that. But my point is that we can talk nicely without insults. I know it's not easy sometimes, but insulting is not the best way to lead a conversation. And , again, I'm sorry for insulting Smokey. I'll learn to listen to my own advice from now on.

As for FFVII, I WANT A REMAKE!!!

I think everyone who wants FFVII remade, should play a few more RPGs outside of it the FF series, then you'll realize that FFVII isn't all that great. You're all pretty one track minded imo.

Besides, if a game is good already, then it doesn't need to be remade anyway.

The graphics suck.

Stop being sucha pain, Smokey. You can tell him that nicely without insults. Stop behaving like a 2-year old. I know all of this is getting on your nerves, but your stupid comments are also getting on everyone else's nerves, ok.
Such a pain Monk? Such a pain? Did you ever stop and think to realize that maybe, just maybe, people are sick and tired of these threads? Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, Square Enix is sick and tired of fanboys busting down their doors demanding a remake of the game?

I told him nicely without insults actually. I said this thread is stupid, and it is because there have been countless ones similar to this, and a thread/petition is seriously not going to change Square Enix's mind to remake the game. I never called him stupid, just the thread. People make stupid threads all the time; I have myself. So after all is said and done, because this is pointless, this thread is going to turn into nothing more than fanboys, mostly, just praising the game even more by saying IT'S DA GREATEST GAME EVA REMAKE IT, when it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

Well, to be honest, this thread is definetly not going to convince them to remake this game, but at least he's trying something, and calling that stupid is an insult.
Once again, I didn't insult the guy. In fact, I'm going to commend him for his spelling and grammar, because a lot of FFVII fans are lacking in that department. It's nice to see a person who can put together a coherent sentence every once in a while. So hopefully this guy sticks around for a while.


Besides, I just told Smokey that there is a nicer way to say what he wanted to say. I never meant to insult Smokey. Well, ok, saying that he's behaving like a 2-year old was a mistake, and it was an insult. I shouldn't have said that. I made a mistake.

Hopefully by saying this a third time, will make you realize I wasn't insulting him:

If I wanted to insult this guy, trust me, I could do a much better job at it without even trying. But I had no intent to insult this one, and I didn't.

Square won't remake FFVII, and this thread won't change their minds about it. They did the same thing back with FFVI and the N64, made a tech demo based on a well known and liked game to increase the hype surrounding a new game system, and we all know that FFVI was never remade on the N64. There isn't any reason to expect anything different this time around.

Would I like to see FFVII remade on the PS3? Sure I would, but I'd much rather see another Chrono game or something completely new from Square. The thing is they don't have unlimited resources so I'd rather see FFVII collecting dust in the Square offices.

One more thing. Old game + new graphics + extras =/= better than original game

You already know what happens, there's no sense of exploration, adventure, surprise, or suspense. You've done it all before so the original thrill just isn't there any more.

I agree with the topic of this thread even though many people dont want it remade.It would sell and give them more profit,and gamers of the FF series would also be satisfied.

i sighned in the Petition did you ??
im number 2499 :)

why would square-enix spend a year or maybe more than a year to remake ff7 just because they see a website full of names of people that wants ff7 to be remade?

Because this will give them an Idea of how many people are willing to pay for it. But, Square Enix also has to know where the petitioners are! And 3000 votes, Ha. We need more like 3 Million Votes! It's the only way they'll take it seriously!!! Everyone out there should contact everyone they know and get them to vote. And get everyone they know to vote! Do it! Why not? FF6 was on the playstation, I think it just had new video clips, but it was still a remake!

That's cause they wanted the classics on the PSX, so more people would have access to them, and to make them feel more modern(sort of), not to give fans what they want.

provided they didnt change the story it would be a great idea.add some extra materia,weapons enemy skills etc and it would be brilliant.imagine sephiroth walking through the flames in PS3 graphics.cool or what?

I know that there are a lot of people who are sick and tired of this, but there are also a lot of people who like this game and who really want a remake. You have to understad that.

Besides, if you're sick and tired of such threads, just ignore them. ^_^ That shouldn't be to hard, right.

As for the grammar and writing, I know that there are a lot of people who don't spell words correctly. As for me, I think I do pretty good job with a few mistakes here and there.

grammar and writing? i thought this was about the ff7 remake petition.

I agree its not the best RPG game ever created by a long shot.

i never once said i wanted it remade.Square would probally mess it up.ive never heard of games being remade with the exception of Resident Evil

Well thats fantastic. But I dont think he specifically said anyones names did he.

Also seems to me like you did say yes to the remake.

read the post braindead.i said it would be a great idea.i didnt say 'make it now' or demand any petitions you fucking cretin

While we're at it, why don't we just remake Breath of Fire IV. That was a superior RPG, it could get to the masses, and they could improve some things. Actually here's a better idea, NO FUCKING REMAKES AT ALL!!!!!

FFVII NEEDS TO BE REEMADE SO FWE CAN PLAY IT WITH BETTER GRAPHICS CUZ ITS THE BEST FF

its a good idea but I wouldnt bother.a great game shouldnt need to be remade

The graphics suck.

Well it got me into the rpg genre, it made me want to get into the games industry. No other game has inspired me that much. I PERSONALY wouldn`t complain if they remade it. Plus, i find most rpgs annoying to play. And for me ffvii broke the mould.

No petition is going to garner any attention from Square Enix whatsoever. People have been begging and pleading for years now to remake the game, and something like this stupid thread is not going to do anything.
Actually, it is possible it might. The very reason the "Compilation of FFVII" was created was because of requests from the fans.



I'm sick and tired of fanboys demanding the game to be remade with better graphics. Better graphics is not going to make the game better, I'm sorry. Period.

Actually it will, even in a miniscule way because better visuals allow the player to become all the more engrossed in the game. Anyway, I'm sure that even if it gets remade they'll overhaul the gameplay while they're at it.

For the record, I have played many RGPs outside of the FF universe. Frankly, none of them suits my tastes like Final Fantasy VII does.

Anyway, Smokey, you really shouldn't care one way or the other if it gets remade. So what? It's not gonna affect you, so appearantly you don't want it to get remade. Why?

Why shouldn't I care? I'm just as entitled to an opinion on this matter as you are. Just because we don't agree on the game being re-made, doesn't mean that I shouldn't even be worrying about it. The thread is asking about the possible remake; I'm saying it shouldn't be. Why? I've already said it numerous times before.

Actually, it is possible it might. The very reason the "Compilation of FFVII" was created was because of requests from the fans.


Haha - that's the funniest thing i've read all day.

Square Enix is making the Compliation of Final Fantasy VII because they see a huge oppurtunity for profit in it. A game like Dirge of Cerberus will appeal to two audiences - one, the FF7 crowd who are willing to kill their own firstborn in order to find out 'what happened next', and also the Devil May Cry crowd who are just looking for a shooter with a kick-ass lead character.

Also, there is no point in re-releasing the game - Final Fantasy VII is still available, and still playable on the PlayStation, the PSone, the PlayStation2, the PS2 Slim, and it's confirmed the PlayStation 3 will be backwards compatible as well. Believe it or not, a remake with better graphics will not make astounding sales.

Once, and for all, Square Enix have stated they will rerelease the games when, and only when, they are not playable on current systems.

Instead of all clamouring about an FF7 remake, you guys should be looking forward to the Revolution - the ability to download SNES games? There's a plethora of Square RPGs right there.

Some great remakes Square-Enix should do are Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, and Legend of Mana.

Completely agree about remaking Secret of Evermore. My copy got broked :(

I'm saying it shouldn't be. Why? I've already said it numerous times before.

You're entitled to your own opinion, fair enough. But seeing as how I don't have time to look around for old quotes, would you put up a link or simply restate what you said?

On another note...

I signed the petition, and I'm sending it to all my friends everywhere. I really want this to happen.

If they remake any FF, it should be FF9. So much potential. The graphics were fuckin awesome and it was only PS1.

FF9 was dross imo

here, the petition is on this link: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/ff7rm

please sign it ^^ (and sorry, I haven't read any other but the first post)

I really do want a remake. They could add another weapon like Sapphire or something. They could add more bosses and minigames. The graphics could REALLY have been made better, too. All in all--Remake=YAY!!!!

I have good reason to believe Cloud will die in AC. I don't think the fans would like seeing one of thier favorite characters have an end to his saga; thats why I reckon the story will be retold. I would especialy like to see a tale of the struggle brought to the youth of today. Something about thier cartoons and animes are more senceless than the older gen. Anyway, i'd personaly like to see a remake with Barret Wallace rocking braidz.

for anyone whos interested some great rpg's on the snes are:FF2,FF4,FF6,FFV,Chrono trigger,Secret of mana,Secret of evermore never really got me going but then again i didnt play it through.Tons more but those are the only ones i like mostly,

oh and Illusens gaia(sp?) Secret of the stars, Young merlin could also be called an rpg aswell i guess

Square Enix is making the Compliation of Final Fantasy VII because they see a huge oppurtunity for profit in it.

...and your point is? Square-Enix wouldn't make games if there wasn't profit in it. Most companies wouldn't. Go play the original Metal Gear Solid for the PS1. Now go play MGS: The Twin Snakes for Gamecube. Profit? Yeah. but, the remake is so much better than the original. This would be the case with an FFVII remake. Here's how the story goes:
Square actually revisits one of their counsel titles with a true sequel, FFX-2 (which sucks balls). Square fans think that Square is running out of ideas, and they're revisiting old titles because of it. Suddenly a flood of requests comes pouring into SEHQ from FFVII fans (who make up the largest fanbase out of all the Square products) for Square to re-visit FFVII with a true sequel or a remake. SE responds by giving us Advent children. Then come BC CC and DC, but still no remake, which is what everyone asked for in the first place. (so, I am correct. The Compilation was born becuase of the fans, sucka). Then after years of loyalty and patience, Square throws the amazing FFVII PS3 Tech Demo in our faces. Now we're pissed and demand justice.


Instead of all clamouring about an FF7 remake, you guys should be looking forward to the Revolution - the ability to download SNES games? There's a plethora of Square RPGs right there.

Ahh...you must be a Nintendo whore. Yeah. Too bad that's the only unique feature that makes it worth buying. Just about everything else is standard now. Seriously, it is a great feature, but it's just not enough. Don't get me wrong. I love Nintendo (or did), they got me started on gaming. They gave me countless, priceless memories of my childhood, but thier secrecy and lack of information on almost anything about the Revolution pisses me off. The design is generic aside from the shiny paint colors, the machine is woefully underpowered when compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360, which are dozens of times more powerful, and then there's the lack of the controllers at E3. What the hell is up with that? Are they so paranoid that Microsoft and Sony will steal thier ideas (which they won't.)? Is it the ridiculous fully touch-screen controller (completely devoid of any analog buttons) that was leaked to Gameinformer from an an undisclosed development house? Hopefully not. Because of Nintendo's own secrecy, the revolution is shaping up to be the crappiest counsel since the Virtual Boy.

Master Nabeshin, you must be an anti-Nintendo whore. You bitch about the design, but that's almost totally irrelevant. The PS3 and Xbox360 aren't any better looking. Besides, everyone knows that what's on the inside is far more important.

Then you talk about its power. NOTHING about that has been confirmed. It's far enough from being released that it shouldn't be a big deal at this point.

And the controllers. You say that Sony wouldn't steal their ideas? History shows otherwise. After Nintendo put out the Rumble Pack, everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Same with the analog stick.

And then you say that secrecy is making the console (please note the proper spelling, by the way) crappy? That's nothing more than bullshit Nintendo hate there. It's a completely off-the-wall ending statement that you pulled out of your ass in a transparent attempt to solidify your flimsy arguments.

Ahh...you must be a Nintendo whore.
Talking to another person you are, but I'm more of a Nintendo whore than he is.


Yeah. Too bad that's the only unique feature that makes it worth buying.
Too bad PS3 and Xbox 360 don't have anything really unique about their system. Too bad for them. Oh boy, stunning graphics from the Sony machine, and Microsoft is now letting us create and sell our own shirts? OH BOY. Really unique.


Seriously, it is a great feature, but it's just not enough.
I think it's an excellent feature, as it will bring back many old Nintendo fans who have grown tired of the present games, and are looking to replay the classics. Now of course a list of games or the price of them hasn't been released, but this could turn out to be quite the feature if Nintendo goes about it the right way.


but thier secrecy and lack of information on almost anything about the Revolution pisses me off.
Nintendo has traditionally been secretive about their systems and such. While I'd like to hear more information about it, I'm not jumping off a cliff because they won't share it.


The design is generic aside from the shiny paint colors,
The design is the best looking out of the three next gen consoles. At least Nintendo made their system to look different than their prior one. Sony and Microsoft sure did a piss-poor job with coming up with their final designs of their respective system.


the machine is woefully underpowered when compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360, which are dozens of times more powerful,
Show me proof of this. Please. You are wrong.


and then there's the lack of the controllers at E3. What the hell is up with that? Are they so paranoid that Microsoft and Sony will steal thier ideas (which they won't.)?
Do you have an actual quote from a Sony or Microsoft representative stating they will not steal any ideas from Nintendo? If they think it would help them in the video game market, they are going to at least try to do it. Nintendo introduced the analog and the rumble feature, and oh look, they were implemented in other companies systems!


Is it the ridiculous fully touch-screen controller (completely devoid of any analog buttons) that was leaked to Gameinformer from an an undisclosed development house? Hopefully not.
Don't bash something until you try it.


Because of Nintendo's own secrecy, the revolution is shaping up to be the crappiest counsel since the Virtual Boy.
No, sorry. Just stop talking. Revolution has already surpassed Gamecube, and may be even better than the SNES when all the information is finally handed out.

I don't like Nintendo. Something about them raised a generation of biased assholes!! Let's face it. Mario, Zelda and the rest of the classics were nice for us when we were youths, but later it was all just too commercial and bubbly. I dug how SNES stepped up thier game with Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat and a slew of other games(also usualy released on other platforms) but Nintendo just never struck my fancy. In my opinion they tailer it all to the kids and most of us ^ are no longer such. I was a Sega dude myself; thier games were classic, original and yes even groundbreaking. Flashback, Altered Beast, Streets of Rage(series),Splatter House, Eternal Champions, Sonic,(the list is endless)!!

Those games made sure I never played Nintendo after the 8 bit classic had it's last gasp. As far as the touch screen controler, I think it's a half brained idea and unpractical for serious gamers. I hate gimicks!!! If I were playing a fighting game a touch screen controler would have me looking down to see where the frickin punch button was months after buying the damn thing! You need split second reasurence in sport/fighting games and I don't think a touch screen controler would cut it on numerous other fronts. It would also be to damned expensive to keep replacing, especialy If I spilled my drink on it! I guess there's nothing better than the feel of a control and it's buttons; I don't care how high tech we get. Anyway, classic games should always resurface in my opinion (just like poker or uno) and Playstation is the console to do it these days.

I so hope SquareEnix do remake FFVII!!

It's the very first FF I ever played, FANTASTIC!!!!!!

I don't like Nintendo. Something about them raised a generation of biased assholes!!
How so?


I dug how SNES stepped up thier game with Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat and a slew of other games(also usualy released on other platforms) but Nintendo just never struck my fancy.
SNES didn't just step up the game for Nintendo, it set the bar to a level that I don't know if any Nintendo system since it's release has reached yet.


In my opinion they tailer it all to the kids and most of us ^ are no longer such.
That's what Nintendo is dominant in; they own the 'little kid' market.


It would aslo be to damned expensive to keep replacing, especialy If I spilled my drink on it!
I assure you that if it is a touch-screen controller, that Nintendo will make replacements cost effiecent. Also, just keep drinks away from it.

NO NO NO NO NO!
Final Fantasy is a precious game that should NEVER be remade.
All these people complaining about the graphics! Only really the character models and the battles weren't great. The PS3 would only match the pre-rendered graphics at best.
There is no point in making such a perfect game.

There is no point in making such a perfect game.
A perfect game you say?

A perfect game you say?

OOPS! I meant re-making lol. =-O

My thoughts are that seing as they are reinvoking the FFVII Story at least they could do
A re-hash of the current PC version removing the bugs and addressing all the compatibilty issues (transistion to XP ect) and maybe make it installable...

This would accomodate new FFVII players who may play DC,BC ect and want to know the bit in the middle concerning FFVII itself.

If they wanted to be really nice they could replace the old Fmv's with the new tech demo video and make new clips similar to the tech demo, that would bring it in line with AC
This may be achievable as it only took them six weeks to make the tech demo

however to keep costs low it would be expected to be released in some sort of Square Classics range (like the PS platinum range) so it should only cost $30 or so....

whaddya think?

All the petitions in the world will never get a remake in the works.

True, but I wish they make the Demo a bit LONGER!!! My excitement was at 110% while watching it then suddenly the demo ended. *shrinks into a pea*

True, but I wish they make the Demo a bit LONGER!!! My excitement was at 110% while watching it then suddenly the demo ended. *shrinks into a pea*

The demo was okay. Looked like PS2 to me, the Xbox could pull off better.(Splinter cell:CT).

Why the hell do people think that petitiononline.com works? It DOES NOT WORK!

Face it, FF7 is NEVER EVER going to be made. EVER. PERIOD. Get over it, it was a good game, but graphics do not necessarily make a game good, of which FF7 is a prime examlple, so all games on the PS2 are better than FF7 because they have better graphics? No.

Your given Advent Children and the rest of the FF7 Compilation, yet you still want a remake. Square probably chose the opening of FF7 because it is a popular video, plus it would show the greatest improvement of graphics from PSOne to PS3.

Now leave it.

I used to always say that Square would never remake FFVII, but just think about it. They are making a ton of spin-offs, with an included movie as one of them. And they keep teasing the fans with trailers, so-to-speak, of what the game would look like on a next-gen console. I'm starting to actually believe that there is a decent chance it will get done.

It might, but petitions will never add to it getting done.

maybe, just depends on if Square actually pay attention to the petition sites.....

My friend pointed out that in the tech demo that they hid the loveless play billboard behind flood lights and further up, she claims this is because in the original it appeared as aerith was walking out of a brothel named loveless. lol
i kinda agree...
