The story awesome, the gameplay fun and addictive, the characters very likable and you often feel for them, epic boss fights, and very good final boss, so everything in FFVII was perfect except for the obvious graphics. Simple...your talking about SE's most popular and most successful title to date. If they remake FF7 it has to meet or surpass the technology bar set by Xlll and VS it would be a crime if they didnt. FF7 remake would not be Xxcepted in the general if it look anything worse. Thats problem when your a company that continues to raise bar ppl start to Xxpect no less from you especially when your dealing with a game FF7 When you say raise the bar are you talking about just graphics or gameplay and quailty etc. Because if it's just graphics I don't see how it's that difficult, they already know the story the characters and how the gameplay is so they don't need to spend all that time and money on that all they have to do is update the graphics. I really wouldn't want it to be similar to FFXIII in terms of gameplay. Although I do like how you see the monsters before fighting them, those random fights got annoying.

dude its the PS3...taking a PS1 updating the graphics and calling a PS3 remake is pathetic. PS1 had tech limits that were far surpassd last gen. SE would need to completely retool FF7 to meet todays standards. 2d rendered backdrops would have to go...how AAA PS3 have 2D rendered backdrops?, completely voice acting, some battle system updates... ext

They remade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (possibly just a port?).

They'll have to do 7 eventually

Guys, they never actually said it would take 30 years. The "10x longer" comment was probably just hyperbole, exaggeration. Calm down.

They havent remade 5 and 6 yet( not the enhanced ports on GBA)...last we heard they were having issues with those.

Hmmm, Even tho i know it wouln't take this long to develop, It's still sad to know that we might never again see a HD Final Fantasy game like the old school ones, where you go in the overworld, Visit towns, ect. =/

It's more likely that it'll be on a portable system! Just like 6 is probably (okay, okay, hopefully) being done for the 3DS!

Well, on one hand I can have a game I love, with upgrades to gameplay, content, not to mention graphics and an enhanced soundtrack, that will rock my world with a shot of Nostalgia straight to the veins.

On the other hand there's at best another FF13, at worst another NieR.

And Square are the lords of bullshit, it shouldn't take that much to model all of these things in 3D, because we don't need them to, why can't they model some of the areas in 3D, and then make the same, non-moving viewpoint, just like in FF7?

The fact that it is being remade would make people accept 2007  PS3 graphics. Plus, SE's bar is low right now; the quality of their titles is erratic. All they need to do with FF7 is upgrade the graphics, THAT's IT. No new gameplay features; there was nothing wrong with FF7's except the dialogue translation and obviously outdated graphics. NOTHING BESIDES GRAPHICS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!!! *phew*

Don't forget voiceovers for the cast, and new updated version of the soundtrack!

I keep answering this question. They cannot. how many AAA HD console games have 2D rendered backdrops? None. With new technology comes new requirements what flew in PS1 days will NOT fly in PS3 days especially with games like Uncharted GOW FFXlll and VS raising that bar. A HD game that looks like a PS1 game would be a laughing stalk.. a FF7 remake woold be complete fail if they tooi the PS1 version and just updated graphics.. maybe on PSP but PS3
