What do you want from the FF7 remake?

[Runa216]

No no no. All you people crying for a new battle system need to be silenced. Just, god no. One of the greatest appeals to a Final Fantasy VII remake is a return to turn based battles. do not incorporate something like XIII or even XV (I'm sure XV is good, but it has no place with FFVII, where the materia system remains one of the best in the franchise.)

What it needs:

1 - Updated graphics with 3D in all locales instead of static backgrounds. the static backgrounds are gorgeous, but with the leaps in technology, we can do it more like FF10 or FF12.

2 - Retranslated and fixed dialogue. Get rid of the typos, fix the localization like they did with FFVI in the GBA remake. That story was so much better once it was updated.

3 - Voice Acting. Not on all interactions, that would be silly and ridiculous, but we need voices.

4 - Somewhat expanded content/side quests. A lot of FFVII's lore was hidden from most gamers. give a bit more insight to that, don't hesitate to add subtleties alluding to the prequels and sequels.

5 - Bit more in the way of side content and optional bosses. Ruby and Emerald weapon are both awesome, but the franchise has evolved. No harm in adding a few more random uber-weapons through the game that don't effect the story/characters but still give seasoned veterans something to aspire to

6 - DO NOT CHANGE THE COMBAT SYSTEM! Seriously, this is key. I don't mind adding a more dynamic visual element, but turn based combat needs to stay. none of this 'your allies attack without your input' bullshit that almost single handedly ruined the past few installments. Needs to remain tactical and smart. Not dumbed down and "Action packed" for the masses.

so basically, same game with updated graphics and voice acting, with improved writing and just a few extra features and options for people who like it. I don't mind it being refinded and altered a bit, but don't lose what made the game so fun back in the days. Keep the mini games. Keep the chocobo breeding/racing. Keep everything, but make it better.
