I am seeing there is a demand for a remake of Final Fantasy VII, and I am curious why.  Isn't the original Final Fantasy VII available as a download?  I am curious, if it is, why a remake?  Has the original Final Fantasy VII not aged well, and it needs a graphic boost?  If the gaming world of Final Fantasy VII is that good, why not do a sequel based on it, instead of a remake?

I don't get why a remake of Final Fantasy VII is demanded, unless maybe the original hasn't aged well.

Because the graphics have not aged well, and indeed, a lot of people think it's the best game ever made. It is surely the pinnacle of the JRPG genre imo and pretty much almost everyone would like to, in theory, play back through it every once in a while.

Problem is, the game is fugly.

Also, some people would like a certain side quest added, which would change the games story fundamentally, and I came when I heard about it.

...lol.

That said, the rest of the game is stricly awesome, and it has some of the best pacing and accessable yet deep gameplay available in a jrpg. I give it a 9.6/10 and it's one of my favorite games. I love the iconic characters and astounding backdrops. The gameplay itself is also deep and rewarding. Great, great game.
