People have been asking for a REMAKE when they apparently meant REMASTER

A remaster is a port of the original game. Running on new hardware. And using the new hardware to clean it up. A remake is remaking the game with modern system. But doesn't mean change things as they please. Then it's really a reimagining. The only element that would be a remake is the script. Everythign else is reimagined.

Remaking a game is bringing it into the modern era and trying to also modernize it for current audiences, that's the same for movies as well as games, that can very much entail gameplay changes. Never has remake ment just giving people the exact same game with new graphics and SE has been pretty upfront with that not being the plan for the FF7 Remake either.

The battle system for FF7 isn't bad. That's the thing. It's not like say Metal Gear Solid 2's controls. Those were really badly setup. The same thing will be argued if RE2's remake is done. And all it is, by story. The rest is done in RE4-6 style. That's not a remake to me anymore. That's a reimagining.


"To me" is always a cop out, similar to "my opinion" where you know you could be wrong but want to give yourself a window to not be.

 A reimaging is like DmC or New Tomb Raider. Games that recycle major stables but are free from being tied to orginal. FF7 is not taking that path.
