I thought you said Final Fantasy IV DS remake, I was gonna tell you that I'm already at the the Crystal Palace.

If they remade it on PS3, I'd probably buy it.

Fan girls would shout out in cheering and later generations would be able to experience the game that made Sqaure very, very famous.

Me? I guess I could give it a second shot if they add some more content to it.

I think they should remake the VII, VIII, and IX all together. Instant cash without the backlash from the VII haters.

This is the smartest thing I've heard all morning =O Nah seriously, I'd love to play 8 and 9 again. I will prolly give 7 a shot if they add more too it.

I'd buy FFIX remake any day if they keep Zidanne rather manly. But I will make a taboo not to even touch or mention it if he turns out like that dirty streetcrawler- Vaan.

But I would buy myself a PSp if they would port FFIX to it as well. That game being portable would be worth every penny.

I'd be happy as long as they didn't rerecord the soundtrack. So much decent videogame music is redone for remakes, and ruined with too many strings and orchestral movements and it makes me cry.

Nope, stupid idea. EVERY freaking company needs to start creating some new franchises. i still  cannot grasp the idea that such video game giants such as Nintendo and SE haven't come up with nothing new that's astonishing.


And I blame players for that.

"OMG REMAKE, YEAH!!!" People aren't happy with the original versions anymore.

FF7 would be great remade IF they left it as it is.

But you know what would happen?

They'd add bits of Advent Children into it.
They'd add bits of Dirge of Cerberus into it.
They'd add bits of Crisis Core into it.

And the game would be something different, something less.




(simply because everything made after the game pretty much pales in comparison and should be written out of FF7 canon.)

[Moosetroop11]

AYE.

Hmm....let's face facts: Final Fantasy VII is the game that put the RPG genre on the map; it entirely re-wrote the genre, for better or worse. What killed it is the stupidity of the majority of the fanbase. As it is NOW, the original FFVII is kinda dumb, with lines like 'No, way!" and 'Off Course!". A re-make that touched up on the old errors would be okay.

But, for the love of God, don't put anything from Advent Children or Dirge of Cerberus in. FFVII was just fine the way it was, even with Cloud 'The Mope' Strife and Sephiroth 'The Uber-**y' as main characters. AC and DoC killed the story.

'Sides, it's gonna happen. FFVII is SE's ace in the hole.

FF7 didn't do ANYTHING at all except have 3D graphics. If thats called pioneering a genre, then maybe cutting off my foot is the next step in evolution.

[Moosetroop11]

Original features don't make a game though, man. FF7 added a 'horror' aspect that hadn't really been explored much in RPGs at the time. And the 3D really helped bring places like Midgar alive whilst beforehand there was only so much you could do to change the atmosphere of a place.

Plus it was just good. And it was in that era when videogames weren't made to be advertised, but for the love of making a game.

But everyone has different opinions, anyway.

So you agree with the people that call it stupid, but you agree that is good. Good and stupid.

And I concur with ZKX

I don't think it's dumb or stupid at all, as a matter of fact, anyone who hates a game or refuses to see its redeeming features simply because everyone else likes it, isn't an individual, they're a wanker. You people refuse to say it's innovative simply  because it didn't bring hardly anything new to the table? Well it was practically the first game to successfully bring something new to the table.

What did people have Final Fantasy VII to compare to when it first came out? Nothing. What do people compare it to now-a-days? Everything they can think of that they don't like or think is better for whatever damn reason. I bought this game when it came out, from previously owning Final Fantasy IV and VI for SNES, and you know what? My Jaw dropped when I watched the opening scene, and you know what else? It still drops every time I watch this scene, because I appreciate what this game did for me when I first bought it, back when it was released.

You want to know why Chrono Trigger isn't considered revolutionary? Because hardly anyone bought it. The only reason it's popular today, is because everyone and their aunt's have downloaded it.
