Am I the only one who doesn't want an FF7 remake? Square-Enix are a shadow of the company they used to be. The remake will certainly be a lot worse and ruin the nostalgia people have for the original. Just play the original and be happy that the game exists in the first place.

Sony only owns a small piece of SE, so it's not like they can dictate anything to SE about what systems they support, unless there were some provisions in the publishing contract for FFVII that keeps it Sony exclusive; but then there was also a PC version published by Eidos, so who knows.

If they rerelease FFVII, here's what I think is the order of likehood:

1) Direct release of the original game on PSN. Easiest way to get the game out and doesn't require an overhaul of the graphics that people would expect from a remake. I'm surprised they haven't already done this.

2) PSP remake: With a few FFVII tie-ins already on the system, they have the basis for a PSP version, and would require the least work of any remake.

3) DS port: SE could port it to the DS, which is comparable to the N64 in processing power, so no one would expect a total remake. The only issue is cramming all the FMVs onto a card; it might have to wait for a 4Gb card to be feasible, but they still have DS remakes of FFV and FFVI to do first (cross your fingers).

4) Wii remake (No "Wiimake" jokes, please): A full remake on the Wii would be easier than a remake for either of the HD consoles, also, the Wii is gathering a new audience that would never have played the original. One problem with making the game on a more "core" console is that most of the interested gamers would have played it already, and most would probably have had their fill of it; this could be why the PSP has only received tie-ins, instead of a remake of FFVII.

5) HD remake: It would probably be a PS360 multiplatform release, although sales of FFXIII would tell square which of these two systems is better to receive it.

Why is this in the "Nintendo" Discussion, it should be going in the "Gaming" Discussion. Unless i missed something throughout the thread. But whatever it doesn't matter where it goes. They will sell millions regardless. I hope it goes to the PS3, but it doesn't matter, wherever it goes I'll get it. x]

SE have made remakes of every other part of the FF franchise so there's no reason they won't do 7 too eventually. It's just a matter of when. Probably will still be sometime though.

I think that it's either ps3 exclusive or ps360.Highly doubt that square-enix will be able to make the graphics they want on the Wii.

if they use the same graphs at the tech demo,I don't think it will come on wii, if not then most likely it will go on the wii.

I dont know if Sony paid for Final fantasy 7 or not but it could go either way Sony have even marketshare on Square-enix like 10% and Square-enix annouced Final fantasy 13 for 360 so everything can happen.

If they're going to remake the entire series... then I expect:

3-6 - DS
7-9 - PSP

lol FFVII remake threads are always popular. I'm gonna miss them if a remake does come.
Btw, let the game stay in the past, guys. Surrounded by good memories. JRPGs are not so hot today in the west, so it wouldn't break any sales records. Square Enix is not going to spend a big budget on a remake, so don't count on Tech Demo graphics. And finally, it would probably come out for a portable (probably the DS), 'cause it represents lower risks. I'd rather no remake at all. I have good memories of the game. If you can't tolerate the way the game looks today, you probably don't deserve to play it anyway...
