Alas, FFIX is not out on NA PSN this week... grrr I want to finally finish that game.
On the FF7 remake: I don't know how they would pull off the whole Wall Market part with FFXIII graphics. Cross-dressing, Honey-Bee Inn with the gay hottub gang bang and listening in on President Shinra, and Don Corneo's mansion? How would they even pull that off with more realistic graphics? Don't get me wrong, I'd still like to see a remake, but I find it difficult to see how they would adapt some things.
Part of FF7's charm is its cartoon humour which may never be replicated in an FF game again, so I think it's worth experiencing even if its graphics aren't so hot.
