Does anyone else think square should make a FF7 remake? You know like have the graphics like FFX, and they could make it own by making cloud have masamune as ultimate wep/or have sephiroth playable....Thats just my thoughts

Wow, are you living ina closet? Square IS remaking FF VII VII and IX. Live in the now man.

What Bacon said. Moving this to FF7.

Square has remade it ...

You mean its finished ? *confused* where ?
More info please ^_^;

I dunno if they finished it yet, but soon it will be about time ;)
so... just a little longer and then you have all the ps1 Final Fantasies on the ps2 ^_^
Better Graphics mostly.. maybe some alternations in text or in events...

YEAY!!!! im so excited....

O_O
im gonna need more PS2 memory cards!!!! :eek: there expensive!!!!

Yeah a remake will be good but does anyone know if its going to be available in europe?

There is a "FFVII International", which might be the remake you're referring to. As far as I know, the only difference is a fourth disc with spell listings, a monster encyclopedia and other little extras.

On a side note, FFs 8 and IX also have international versions, with, I guess similar additions, and the same thing is in production for FFX, including an extra ending.

Please tell me that is coming out on PC!

hey funky bacon where did you find this out ? i need to know more !

That's all? Ho boy.. I'd hoped they'd actually finish the game for the "remake"..
Every time I play it I get the feeling that the ending FMV is halfway cut off o.O;

Same here, nampg. FFVII is finished, though.

Yeah, FFVII International and the rest of the "PSOne Book Series", or whatever they call it doesn't sound like too much to rant and rave about to me. I also don't know if there'll be PC versions or anything.

Yeah, FFVII's 'remake' will just have a few added parts to it, pretty much like Dark Leviathan said. Nothing spatacular.

The graphics might be slightly improved, but that's no guarantee.

I WANT A SEQUEL SO BADLY!! Ahem...yes, a remake would be great. heh heh heh...

FF7/8/9 international is actually something different..

There was going to be a rereleased version of 7/8/9 on the PS2, at one point, I don't know if Square ever gave a definite answer either way..

What an international version? Maybe I need to be in the now.

As far as I know the International version of ff7 was only a re-release of ff7 with some of the american added features such as Emerald and Ruby weapon and a few little additions that werent really anything to scream about, hence the title "International".

The remakes or are different but again as far as ive heard the changes arent really that big and im pretty sure that ive read an article by Squaresoft stating they have no plans to release it outside Japan(although im probaly wrong).

Well im realy realy disapointed, if it ever come's out here I dont think il buy it.
What abouth you ?

if they don't change any thing drastically including the graphics i won't buy it but if they do i'll buy it but i need a ps2 first

By the way everyone Square have abandoned plans for the remake of 7,8 and 9 on the playstation 2 much to mine and all other final fantasy gamers dissapointment!!!!!!! If there not going to definately release it they shouldnt get peoples hopes up!!!!!!

I Would Like To Remind People That Who Dont Understand... 789 International Have Already Been Done They Are Not the Remakes That Are Supposedly Planned... All They Do Is Release The Same Game With An Encyclopedia On It.... Thats It... No Extra Secenes/FMV And No Raising Aeris!

That is kinda rotten on redoing Final Fantasy 10 already with a new ending. I mean all the people who just spent 50 bucks on it, and there going to expect us to pay 50 bucks more for it? I won't do it.

I might go for remakes of ff7 and ff9 IF they are majorly different.

Maybe they will be nice and give Final Fantasy 10 owners a discount or something?

WOW... Before I read this I had no idea about any remake, please let me know when it is released.

The origional was blindingly amazing anyway.

i had heard about this remake earlier but i had thought that they were only going to release it in japan. I could be wrong and i hope i am because ff7 is the best and i would like to play it for ps2 with some improvements like in graphics. They should however leave the story alone because it is perfect the way it is.

id buy it just because i buy anythng final fantasy related :)

Well Surprentis Did You Buy Mystic Quest? If you Did I Raise My Head in bout Of Laughter "HAHAHAHA!" Seriously Tho Would you Buy FF11 Becuase it Has Final Fantasy Stamped onit.Even thought It Is Not In Essence A Final Fantasy Game But more a Phantasy Star Online Kind Of Scenario. I Personally Dont Like the idea And i Dont like Having To Pay To Play... FF11.... Go Bite Another Genration... When Broadband IS Actually Full Operational...

:cool:
square is remaking 7-9 in ff10 graphics, but it will be a long time because of the losses from the movie and release of 10 and networking/making 11.

I heard that they were gonna rerelease not just 7, 8 and 9, but 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 as well. I also heard they'd add a few new tricks onto each one (don't ask me what, I just hear these things). If they do, 1 through 6 will definitely be on my to buy list.

I heard about the remake of Final Fantasy VII, but not VIII, IX or X. That sucks that they said they would and just didnt do it.

What I last heard was Square was just planning to release these in Japan, and possibly they've scrapped it. Haven't heard much else since.

IMO, they should leave the games as they are. With the exception of FF8, the stories are fine as they are. Graphics..., well I'm not really a Graphics Whore, so I don't really give a shit. If anything, Square should finish FF7 - as long as they don't affect the story in any way.

I hope they didnt scrap it, that would suck. FFVII was an awesome final fantasy, but i think they should create another one.

It would be a good idea to do that the remake u can have black and white materias and sephiroth can join your team make new and harder weapons becasue sephiroth has truned good all this sould follow the end of the game but cloud does not kill sephiroth he truned him good:D

I dont think it's any need to do a remake of the best game ever... Am I right? (FF7 i mean)

It better have an analog option.

What reason would they have to rerelease a game... that could already be played on that system... without changing anything special that you couldn't download in the form of a guide to the game? This strikes me as an extraordinarily greedy move by Square.

I would puke if Sephiroth was available to join your party. It would ruin-- NO! Destroy the story. Besides I really doubt that Cloud would make amends with Sephiroth while Aeris's corpse is plunging into the depths.

But, a FFVII would be splendid. *Imagines Midgar in FFX graphics.* Ooooh yeah...

I'd get the game even if the storyline stays the same, coz thats what i want. to just play it with better graphics

In the remake Aeris wouldnt die, Turks could join you and Zack could stay alive or somethink, better graphics would be cool but wouldnt really matter to me, different storyline and i ending that ends the game! hey but thats only hope ing

Aeris died for the Planet, I don't want to see her coming back to life. Cloud and his party and the Turks come to a sort of understanding, but to see them join your party would ruin their neat detached coolness.

Here are some of the things I would like to see in a remake:

- Better Graphics

- New and tougher monsters and new Weapons as well.

- A completely revamped Gold Saucer. This is my favorite idea. Think of the potential for this. All new games in Wonder Square. Many different tracks to choose from in Chocobo Square and new music to go with them, with newer and tougher chocobo opponents to compete against. New and special plays available throughout the game in Event Square.

The game must remain unaltetered. Only better graphics.

this news is REALLY old...ive known about it for months i saw it in a magazine a very long time ago...

I'd buy it.....evan if it only had better graphics....nothing else.


But dont get me wrong....a remake would be cool :)

I heard something about this months ago, but I heard it would something like final fantasy 7 and a half, like a sequal to FF7. The game starts where FF7 ends, and it goes from there. That would be the illest idea they could possibly do, cus the ending to FF7 could have been a bit more I think. And we all need to know what happened with Cloud and Tifa. Midgar was wrecked as well, so that needs to be rebuilt and loads of thought could go into making it one of the best games square has done. You gotta have faith and hope they do it.

my family, will probably buy it..
we like buy all the games though.. just to say we have it & my brother will beat it... usual thing with a new game, he will wanna play it alot till he like beats it & thinks of it as nothing.. i wish they would make international version where i live though... that'd be really something..

like some of you said, it would be nice to have more qualities like..
~Better Graphics
~Harder Monsters{& bosses, too!}
~Not Aeris coming back to life!

I had heard of this, at some other site they asked you to sign a petition so they could finish the remake.. i'm probably getting this mixed up.. They said that SQUARE, was putting aside the remakes for awhile and stuff... but this was like a month ago, but don't matter?!

7 & 1/2? I don't know. I've always sort of liked the idea of leaving that to fanfiction. But it could be good. I'd love to see what Yuffie's up to...

i agree with MOTO a few posts back about it being a greedy move by square. Why remake it? you can still buy it at some stores, and you can still play it on PS2... So what the hell is the goddamn difference?

I don't think Squar should mess with the game, it's fine how it is and they would be messing it up. I think Squar should just leave it alone.

they arent going through with creating the remakes of vii, viii, and ix. square put them on indefinate hold quite a while ago, before May...

No, no, no , no! I've said it before and I'll say it again. NO! It's a classic, let it be.

The FFVII remake is on the gamecube soon isnt it

not sure if you saw this or not, so here it is again:

well besides the remakes of all the ones we already know and love information also reveals that there remaking final fantasy 1 and 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (but sadly for everybody and this information will propably piss everybody off but they are only releasing them in japan!!(well at least only 1 and 2 will be realesed not sure about the other one....

i heard that they were gonna remake ff7 with the same story but with better graphics... :rolleyes: .... more mini games..... :D .... and more fmvs..... :p .... but that wat i hear..... :eye:

i wanna see ABSOLUTELY NO STORY CHANGE, but loads better graphical stuff....and fmv's...poss a music upgrade too?

Either Square aren't telling us something, or Gamespot have got their information confused. These screenshots look remarkably familiar to the ones from the recently publicised Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children DVD that is being created.

http://forums.ffshrine.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10794

More info may be found here. :)

Oh man I feel dumb, I just looked it up your right it is that dvd advent children. Though still I hope the dvd is cool.

so wait, someone clear things up. is there going to be an ff7 remake or not? a lot of people have said there is, and a few have said there isnt. lets see some proof if there is or isnt. i want something i can click on that will tell me there isnt cuz im clinging onto the thought that maybe, just maybe they will remake it.

No, there is going to be a DVD movie called Advent Children, but I haven't seen anything official to suggest that there's also going to be a remake or new version of the game.

That being said, anything FF7 would do well with this in terms of gameplay mostly:

1. Spells to each element!!! Where was Air1, Water1, and such?!
2. Huge amounts of sidequests. Ones that give more characterization, limit breaks, materia, money, any kind of progression.
3. Lets see the enemies! Like Chrono Cross or Xenosaga. Lets admit random battles are somewhat annoying. >< Maybe have to use stealth a bit more and such.
4. Keep the "attacked from both sides" and "first strike" stuff!
5. Weapon, armor, accessory, and item devolopment. Like using items to strengthen or alter weapons, making items or growing items, like the loco weed.
6. Far more everything. Characters having like 20 limit breaks, more materia, more new commands.
7. Character specific skills. Kinda like FF6. I felt characters should have their own special tributes aside from limit breaks and initial stats, and the equipment.
8. A new adventure system. Where you don't just walk around...like say (bad example) Tomb Raider. Climb things, push things, jump, sprint, set traps for enemies, and such. Not just not run around and push levers. Lets explore the realm to the fullest.
9. Voice acting which can be turned on or off.
10. Possibly multiple paths, kinda like Chrono Cross. It increases the replay value.
11. New game option. Once you beat it, you open a game with say better stats, new cut scenes, new paths, more weapons, and such.
12. More hidden characters and secret limit breaks perhaps?
13. Stats that might be applicable to the game, like on Fable. Having higher speed would help you run faster, higher strength might help you break down doors, etc.
14. Swap out characters like FFX, maybe even its different activation style overdrive.
15. Use of different characters perspective. Example, Aeris may attract more men and get non playables to be nicer. Cloud may frighten people and get different responses. Use of different character for different responses.
16. High music quality, orchestrated or digitally perfected.
17. Top of the line graphics.
18. Use of environments perhaps like FFX. Examples: Pushing a boss of a ledge, or activating a near by machine.
Lets hope that sounds cool.

And above all....

SPOILER!

19. Optional Aeris save sidequest. Though I know many people are against it, if done correctly, they could add a lot of emotion and even more complexity. Maybe Aeris' spirit comes back to help finish the job before she has to go back or something like that. Either way, Sephiroth died at one point in time, having Aeris come back isn't truly a radical idea. And since it would be optional, I don't feel anyone should complain since they reserve the right to not go on the quest.

well i guess i gotta prove everyone wrong...... lol j/k...... but there isnt a remake..... THERES A SEQUEL........ Final Fantasy VII 2...... along with X 2 this has had a major rehaul....... the return of our hero Cloud the badass Sephiroth and a few other surprises that youre just gonna have to wait for...... the movie takes place 2 years after VII and a year and a half before VII 2....... this is gonna ROCK!!!

I really wish people would read the thread before posting - it would save me having to prove people wrong all the time.

Heretic, FF7-2 was a rumour - it was mentioned in passing by some SquareEnix staff when FF10-2 was announced. Obviously they were referring to what is now known as FF7:AC, which is a movie, not a sequel, or a remake.

Please double check your facts before posting them. It removes any preconception of your idiocy some people might harbour.

try again its a reality in this months GMR magazine it gives a description about it no joke...... im serious it is a reality....... and never assume i just post without reading everything first i...... i know that it was mentioned....... thats why i said i had to prove everyone wrong...... get it......

November 11, 2002 - In an interview with Japan's Dori-Maga (the former Dreamcast Magazine, now turned multi-platform), Square's Yoshinori Kitase made some comments regarding the possibility of a direct sequel to Final Fantasy
VII. Kitase has participated in the development of all Final Fantasy games since part five of the series and now heads the company's R&D 1 team which is currently working away at FFX-2.

"A sequel to FFVII?" comments Kitase while laughing. "In truth, there are many who'd like to make such a game, Nomura, who's working on Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, included. Many of the Square staff participated in the development of FFVII, and the memories are strong. Additionally, expressing the world of FFVII using today's technology would certainly be interesting (laughs).

"However, FFVII still has many fans," he continues. "We couldn't make a bad product (laughs)."

Continuing in response to the question of his team's plans for the term beginning April of 2003 (FFX-2 comes out in March), Kitase says, "Our plans are not yet set for the coming term. Whether we'll work on a brand new title or a sequel to a title that we already have I don't know
yet, but I'd personally like to make something new."

So, to recap, Kitase laughs a lot and many of the Square staff has interest in a sequel to FFVII while Kitase himself is more interested in working on something new. The majority of Kitase's R&D 1 staff worked on FFVII, though, so if were were to see a FFVII-2 (a game which, we fear, would almost certainly feature a love sequence involving Tifa and and jive-talkin' Barret), Kitase and his team would be the likeliest source.

Stay tuned for more.

The last time Square Enix representatives ever let the words 'Final Fantasy VII-2' slip their lips. If you can prove this claim by GMR magazine, I would be very interested.

Sorry, I must profess ignorance. What does GMR stand for? I know the gaming magazines GamePro and GameNow and Playstation Magazine and stuff, but I'm not familiar with that abbreviation.

GMR is merely GAMER without the vowels...... and let me see if i can find that..... i got it in my subscription i dont know if i can find it online....... GMR's official site has not yet posted it...... i dont know what to tell you but i know what im reading right in front of me....... its not even close to be due for release thats why it isnt posted on their site yet....... believe me or not i know what im reading..... there is a sequel along with the movie...... the movie bridges FFVII to FFVII 2..... i really dont care if you believe me or not but i have it right here in front of me and thats all that matters......

I found a trailer of FFVII:Advent Children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to http://www.gametrailers.com/mostdownloaded.html and scroll down to find Final Fantasy: Advent Children and click on it to get a trailer!!!!! SO CRAZY ASS COOL!!!

u can also get screens at IGN.com then in the find game thing put in "Final Fantasy: Advent Children" and search and it will bring it up!!!!!

Finally, it f-ing rocks!!!

A remake or a sequel would be nice....

Imagine seeing Knights of the Round in FFX graphics.....

Tifa and Aeris in FMVs.......

Omnislash done in the style of Blitzace......(without the button-pressing...)

Best of all, Supernova in FFX graphics........

Not to mention looking a the Weapons(Ultima, Ruby....) in a FMV........

I can't wait man.....

heretic, do you have a scanner? its kind of hard to believe u after exs's quote.

especially since u type with lots of periods. if thats really the way u talk i would imagine ur kind of a sly, secretive person who thinks over everything he says in his head two or three times before letting it out. forgive me for the stereo-type, but when i read what u say, im not convinced because of all the pauses.

i can understand why the website doesnt have it up yet, but what about others who have subscriptions to gamer magazine? why isnt anyone backing u up?
