No. It's a HD re-release.OutrageousEmu said:
I'd be very surprised if it was a complete remake and not just a resolution and texture overhaul.
We're going off topic here so lets leave dead horses to flog themselves, eh?
In fact, I'm so bored of this topic - the whole Final Fantasy 7 remake thing, that I just don't care any more. I'm gone. Out the loop. No more talky for me.
See you later. Or not.

Scratch that - I'm back in this discussion!RoseArch said:

It'd be interesting to see FF7 with the graphics it should've had in the first place.
The lego brick hand thing was cool at the time (it was their first time straying away from the grid based map/sprite system to 3D, give em a break) but then when you see FF8 or 9... you can tell the graphics didn't quite live up to the potential of the hardware.
Bring on the remake, change it if you want.

Remake the game with better graphics and change NOTHING, the game was a master peice, FF7 may not be in my top 5 all time games but it makes the top ten. You know what I hated about FF8, 9 and 10? They were nothing like FF7 they changed to much, now I'm all for change where change is needed, but don't fix what ain't broke guys.
Sadly the first thought I had in my head was that a million screaming emo-fanboys would petition for Aeris not to die in the remake.
The second and third thoughts?
Same as the first one.

the game WAS a masterpiece.... for it's time.GeekFury said:
The industry evovled...
the way to tell a story evolved.
There is nothing wrong with playing to nostalgia, but if they do do this(which i know they won't even being an ff7 fanboy myself) they would have to change it to a huge degree. I also get the feeling that the Versus 13 project(when ever the hell it comes out been in development since 2002-2003)will change many people's look on what should and should not be in an ff game. well that and type O
I suspect you are but one of the many people that Yoshinori Kitase was talking about when he said, I quote: "If we did that, the fans might be disappointed or 'this is not what I was expecting' so in that sense maybe some might say that it's better to let memory be memory"GeekFury said:
But if they don't change it at all then it's the same game. A direct clone of the first version, and I personally don't want that. I want me a genetically enhanced SUPER CLONE. I want there to be enough difference to be new and fun to play again whilst retaining enough of the original aesthetic, atmosphere and over-all story plot to make it recognisable.
If we, as fans, keep bitching about it it will NEVER be made and I for one sincerely hope that Sephiroth did not lie to us . . .

My thoughts on this... more talk on a FFVII remake? Who cares. Square discussing the possibility of changing the game up a little if they do a remake? Yes please!!!
I'm not looking at FFVII here, but rather FFVI. Of course Square has done full remakes for FFIII and FFIV, so you'd think at some point they'll get around to FFVI. Problem is, as much as I love the game I've played it enough that as soon as I get to the World of Ruin I have a routine and know exactly what to do. I'd probably buy it regardless but there's just the perfect opportunity there to really shake things up and completely redesign the world map, character locations, and side quests.
Another interesting 'change up' concept for both games would be to give a changing alternate ending scenario by providing a way to stop the two game changing moments: Kefka's victory over Geshtal, and Sephiroth's killing of Aerith. You'd really get all the FFVII fanboys into a mad frenzy if you tell them not is the game being remade but they'll have a chance to save Aerith this time!

I wouldn't mind an FFVII remake. Just update the game's graphics and character models, re-translate the script, work out some balancing issues, (seriously, Big Guard and White Wind are stupidly overpowered in that game) and I'll be happy.
