Why is so important a remake of Final Fantasy VII?

Firstly, the game looks like bumholes on my 42" TV. Looks even worse on the 52" in the front room. I want the game to be visually appealing when I sit down and play it again.

For that I would suggest playing it on an emu in 1080p and some other enhencements. Doesn't make it perfect, but visually it's quite a huge difference. (although the difference is much better for FF8)

Secondly, Final Fantasy, FF2, FF3 and FF4 have all had the remake treatment. There is no reason why FFVII shouldn't get it too.

Agree.

Point 3, the translation of the game sucks balls, there are LOTS of mistakes. Give me voice actors, the ones used in Advent Children will be perfect, thanks.

Agree².

Point 4, Final Fantasy VI is not "better" than Final Fantasy VII.

Arguable, but I agree³. I know quite a few disagree with this here, and I can understand why. 6 is a really great game, too.

Point 5, Final Fantasy VII's soundtrack, when orchestrated, sounds amazing. Here are a couple of tracks from the game that have been done in Orchestra.

 

Dude, that was so awesome and so nostolgical.

I had goosebumbs...

I want to play through the game with tracks like that in the background.

My last point is - The demand is there. Leading up to the release of Final Fantasy XIII, almost every review with the team had the mention of FFVII and the remake.

On YouTube, the highest video when you type in Final Fantasy and go to order by View Count is this -

The game has topped the PSN download charts since it was released on the service in 2009 and was downloaded over 100,000 times in 2 Weeks. God knows how many more times it's been downloaded in those 2 Years. No other Final Fantasy game has even come close to these numbers. RPG's even now struggle to reach that number now that the genre is no longer a niche market on consoles in the West. I think the only one to do so is World of Warcraft...

Yeah.

I think I've argued my case quite well for why I want a FFVII Remake, and why one should be made.
