there are ( ofcourse ) rumors and speculations about a ff 7 remake and a (re)reveal of tlg. I dont get the hype for these games.

FF 7 was a good rpg, but come on, why do so many people want a remake? Is it for nostalgia reasons or is it for the ''groundbreaking'' gameplay?

Further more tlg. It's from the team that gave us ICO and Shadow of the colossus. Ico was ok ( beautiful to look at ) but gameplay wise it was ok. SOTC was a good game but nothing to be too excited about. Maybe it's just me, no problem, but TLG is for some reason a second coming of christ. Why?

This isn't a troll thread. I am genuinly interested.

FFVII is highest selling in series by like 3 to 4 million. It is kinda the spokesman for the new era of games ushered by the ps1. Everyonevwas content until SE teased the fanbase with the FFVII tech demo for ps3. Thats when it turned rabid.The game has huge sales potential not onky because of pedigree but sheer hype surrounding it. One of the things that drives cod,elder scrolls, etc sales is the "lets see what all the hype is about" factor for noobs. Whether everyone will actually like it is a different question.I personally find it to b one of the highest groundbreaking games ever, hence the name.... Cross dressing, eco terrorism, big evil corporations, 6degrees of separation, mini games out the ass, the pressures of perfection, graceful death, religous obsession.....this game has it all.
