Why is so important a remake of Final Fantasy VII?

[Michael-5]

Well Nintendo is remaking Ocarina of Time now, so FFVII is not out of the questions.

I think an FFVII remake is important because modern era Final Fantasy's have been loosing quality since the PS1 era. I mean FFXIV got a 4/10 rating, and although FFX, XII, and XIII were good, they just weren't as good as SNES/SP1 Final Fantasy's.

I wouldn't say FFVII is the best Final Fantasy, but it is the best 3D Final Fantasy. I voted "because the fanbase demand it" because I feel the view people have of Final Fantasy is similar to the view people have of Zelda. After Wind Waker people demanded a mature looking Zelda title, and they got it with Twilight Princess. Despite being a ported Gamecube title at launch, it still sold very well. I think People want a more traditional FF, and FFVII was just the best of the 3D ones.

I hope they remake this game too, but not a straight PSP2 port. I want to see a PS3 or PS4 full HS version. I don't think it will happen now that Squaresoft merged with Enix, but you never know.
