I don't want to be judged for saying that i liked advent Children, lol.

OT: I'm planning on buying a 3DS and I would definitely buy that game for it!
YOU TERRIBLE PERSON!
LOL JK. I liked it too, but the Complete edition makes a whole lot more sense than the original cut.

Final Fantasy VII? again?!

Can't they spin-off any other FF game? I mean, I know FFVIII isn't exactly the most popular among fans, but that was mostly because of the story and game mechanics, there's no reason not to explore that world any further. And FFIX? Not even loud forum haters have anything bad about FFIX, people love that game!
I just want to stop you here. I hated FFIX with a burning passion. Almost as much as I hate VIII's story and characters. IX was a pathetic attempt to recapture the greatness of FFVI and the previous titles. The battle system was a drag, much to slow a pace to maintain my interest. The characters were dull and the entire universe was flat.

Please note, all of this is my opinion. but never say that something has no haters, everything is hated by someone. Even JRPG fans hate certain JRPG titles.

Education time.
Cloud failed to become a Soldier, so he joined Shinra security instead. He used a gun because he couldn't even lift the Buster Sword, being normal. Then the Sephiroth incident occurred, and Cloud and Zack ended up somehow in Shinra Mansion being experimented on with both Mako infusion(what makes one a SOLDIER) and Genova Cells. They broke out and fled, Zack dying and a mako-sick Cloud imprinted Zack's personality and started to believe he was a Soldier and Zack never existed. Now Cloud has both the SOLDIER powers as well as Genova enhancement, and can twirl the buster sword like a baton.
*SWOOSH*---->My sarcasm

Your head

Yeah, I was just kidding. I know that already.

Square Enix hasn't really made any remakes of FF7, hell people actually want a remake of FF7, they are just pumping out spin offs that really just have character cameos at best. I still give Nintendo the milk to death franchise award because their games are more sequel/remakey than anyone in the business.

OT: Honestly I don't think anyone should ever hope for FF7 being remade in any way, honestly Square Enix has teased it for so many years, but now everyone should realize that they just won't do it. They've had countless opportunities to do it and guess what, they never will, instead they are just scraping the bottom of the idea barrel, and when they realize they ran out there they chop into their past games, take some stuff out, glue it together and call it and deem it a great spinoff. Just take a dusty old game from the shelf, clean it up, give it a fresh coat of graphics and call it a day. Stop with the abominations.

Kitase and Nomura didn't design XIII. That's Motomu Toriyama. In fact, past the character designs for the lead party members Nomura had jack and shit to do with XIII. Get your facts straight, Escapist.

As for this news... yeeeah, not sure how much I care at this point. I just played Birth by Sleep on the PSP. Fine game design, AWFUL writing. Like, the WORST I've seen out of a game in years. I don't expect any subsequent titles to go better, so I'm making it the very last Square-Enix game I ever buy.

sooo... instead of remaking an awesome game that so many crave and wish for, they make a new spin-off with generic story and awkwardly fitting it into the original story.

i loved crisis core and advent children. i even liked dirge of cerberus. but the spin-offs had a decent story because of the high nostalgia factor. just make FFVII again instead of 20 more spin-offs.
My sentiments exactly!!

Just do the God Damn Remake and Put it to rest!! I wanna see Sephiroth on my PS3 DAMMIT!!!

Square, we liked FFVII, but ENOUGH WITH THE DAMN SPINOFFS! Advent Children was a technical marvel with a crappy plot/script, Dirge was one of the WORST TPS's in history, and Crisis Core was shallow fan service that only served to further overcomplicate the game's already complex plot. Let go of the title and move on to new stuff. Like, I dunno, the Ogre Battle Saga

I'm gonna burn in hell for this..but...the point of cloud using a sword (at least in clouds' case) was that he was waaay stronger than the amount of force a bullet could produce.

I wanted to like ff7 soo much, but it was just so bad...
actually you should make a place for me too there 4 what i'm gonna say. The fact is every person using a sword in shinra was juiced up on Jenova steroids, Especially clouds over juiced ass having so much of the steroid abuse that he actually went comatose for a while and was psychotic as well. I like final fantasy 7 and i enjoy the character nostalgia in kingdom hearts but i've pretty much moved on and unless they plan to remake the original in a completely different format of game play, i don't wanna here a nother bloody thing about it. I wanted Before Crisis because i want to know the story but i went online and read the story and watched gameplay video nearly 6 years ago. Stop fucking with my head square and just finish the only final fantasy game i have been waiting for: VS 13. (never gave a shit about 13 and probably never will play it)

Anyone notice how much the Turks look like Organization XIII in that picture? I know it's just Nomura's art style, but damn.

I'd happily play a game about the Turks, especially if it gives them a little more character development. Tseng plays a fairly important role in the story, as seen in the short anime movie "Last Order", and it'd be nice to see that playable.

Still feels like a cash-in, though, Squeenix.

Cloud was a common soldier, y'know, armed with a standard rifle and blue uniform. He demonstrates skill with a gun during the Junon Parade, and also in flashbacks in which Zack is revealed to be the 1st-Class Soldier who worked alongside Sephiroth. The first time he comes close to using a sword is pulling Sephiroth's Masamune out of his own chest...

Why not remake Final Fantasy VII on the 3DS, or the DS for that matter? Their graphical capabilities are similar to the Playstation so Square could basically make the game a simple port of the original. Maybe make the text boxes and menus pop up on the bottom screen and update the prerendered cinematics.

That's basically what Nintendo does when they remake a game. They port the old console game onto a handheld system and add some extra content.

No there have only been 4.

Ha. But there's actually only been Super Mario 64 DS, unless you want to count the Virtual Console release.

Square is going to remake a fucking FF7 cell phone spin off game instead of just remaking FF7 and finally silencing all of the screaming, pleading fans?! You know that this is just going to enrage them, causing even more screaming and pleading right? What the hell is wrong with you Square?
