Threadly reminder that the whole creative team is the same as the original game (with a few missing people).

If they did it once they don't need to try too hard to be worthy of their classic.

Nomura is lead developer right? He's gonna tear that battle system to shreds and rebuild it. That's what Nomura does.

There's no need to worry about EXP in FF7.  That's one of the great things about the game; it doesn't take too long to be powerful, but IMO it's balanced on how long it takes instead of the usual insane grind FF's have had before and after FF7-FF10.  On the other hand FF7R will probably have a different take on leveling up...probably for the worst if I had to guess.  I fear it will take forever to get the good shit, although it is a Nomura game so it might not be like FF12 and FF13.  I'm just basing this off of how FF games have been lately.  

They stopped adopting the Nintendo ease of access for leveling up like in SMRPG, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross and FF7-10, which sucks for us.

To be perfectly honest, the best FF games were not all that challenging (FF6-FF10), although really it's FF7-FF10 if you consider sales and critical acclaim, plus they were definitely easier than FF4-FF6 and FF12/FF13.  

Despite the crap FFXIII and FFXII get for instance, they're both pretty difficult games to beat.  Some people have an easier time than others, but they're definitely hard for FF games.

Like Nomura said, "But the original is out again: The "HD" PC version is coming to PS4 already. We don't need two of the same thing. Even if we beautified and upgraded the visuals -- something that's bound to happen. If it's a full remake, then of course, we want to take a different approach. If we actually just upgraded the visuals -- there'd be no need for me to direct it."

i hope they remove it , i hate turn based games

Alot of action rpgs combat systems suck just as badly or more so than the traditional turn based ones.

If they have to go action rpg, I hope they make it alot like Xenoblade Chronicles.

I didnt really like the combat system in FF12 and 13 that much.

I feel like its a much safer bet to go turn based atleast for this remake.

You dont want to piss off your core fans, and the glory days of Final fantasy where all from the 6-10 games, which where turn based.

After it went more action ish, it went down hill.

Yeees, one of my all time fav RPGs... x ) Yeah, I agree there.

Oh, they exist, but people pretend they don't.

That is true. You can keep on grinding to gain exp, but if you invest in a character and they're gone, that would be kinda annoying if your efforts went away.
