[FF7:R] Will it be turn based? Is that a good or poor decision?

No playthrough of any classic game is ever as good as the first one so I don't think anyone here should be so confident in recapturing all of the magic they felt before anyway.

I disagree with this. Just recently played Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger, and I enjoyed them just as much as the first time I played them (and this is probably my eighth time for FFVI and fourth for Chrono Trigger.) Classics are classic for a reason. No matter how many times you play them they're great and the memories and nostalgia just makes them better.

Also in this thread people mentioned liking RPGs their second playthrough more than the first.

Ok, but if you could forget them both entirely and play them as if it was your very first playthrough, would you? I know I would, for the wow factor.

We're both right, in a way.

It's impossible to play a game a second time as if it was the first. Unless you have the worse memory of all. But one can enjoy it just as much as the first time, for various reasons. 

Now, the fact that the team behind FF VII's remake is changing the battle system will do a great job into making it feel like a fresh new experience. Even if we know the plot, the fact that the gameplay will be updated or changed will make it more interesting than if they just made it the same with a shinier coat of paint. 

I think people should approach the game with an open mind, going into it as a new experience, rather than into a carbon copy of the original game with flashier visuals. Going into it with too many expectations, wishing for it to be the original, will only set you for disappointment. 

Treat it as if it was an entirely new game, I say.
