Final Fantasy VII Remake Not Dead After All? |

More on: |
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is about to hit the PSP for what was thought to be the final entry into the revered Final Fantasy VII saga. In an interview held with Crisis Core Director, Hajime Tabata, it seems Square Enix isn’t ready to part with Final Fantasy VII just yet. Tabata confirmed that more Final Fantasy VII goodness is in production, (re)opening the door to speculation about the supposed FFVII remake that Square has been hush-hush about.
A few years back, Square impressed the gaming world with an in-game PS3 tech demo that reanimated the opening FMV sequence from FFVII. Square denied that the footage was from a remake, but it seemed too tantalizing to be just a tech demo. Square has been quiet since. Ten years after the original FFVII sizzled our PlayStations, Square let loose the gorgeous CGI follow-up film, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Further entries into the lauded series include the mediocre PS2 actioner, Dirge of Cerberus, staring everyone’s favorite vampire-hunk, Vincent Valentine. Plenty of games have been remade or re-imagined on new hardware, but FFVII deserves a proper conversion. Square Enix knows that fans are drooling over the prospect of playing FFVII on the PS3, and seeing as FFVII is one of the most beloved games of all time, a full-blown remake would make perfect sense.
We’ll keep you updated on Square’s loose talk and further developments. Remember TVGB’s game giveaway—tell us what you’d like Square to do with FFVII. Leave comments and you might win big!

On again off again. This whole FFVII situation is more back and forth then Britney Spears and rehab.

HA! Britney Spears jokes never get old. Im not a huge fan of Final Fantasy games, but how many different remakes have they done of various games in the series? IF memory serves, its a lot right?

Way too many. I’ve only played a couple of FF games (tactics is the only one I really like) and I’m even tired of seeing all the remakes and “extensions” of certain uber popular FF games. I mean really, how many remakes of FF Tactics can you really make. I will say though that Versus XIII looks pretty sweet.

Within the FF series,… I think it´s a fight between 7 and 10 which is the better game,… and I have no clue who would win that. 7 was the best FF game for the PS,… and 10 was the best on the PS2,… The stories are, in my eyes equal…. GREAT that is…. so,…. maybe they need to make an FF 7/10…. Cloud meets Tidus and together they fight side by side,…

Squeenix should definitely make a PS3 remake of FF VII. This game and VI are my favorit FF’s of all time. I can count 100 people that I talk to on a daily basis that are drooling of the prospect of that game. I’m sure they’ll do it, it’s just a matter of time. Also, since AC came out everyone want’s to play VII again and it’s so hard to get a hold of that a remake is seriously needed.
DON’T GIVE UP HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus they’ve already remade all the retro FF’s so VII is just the next one in line.

For me it isn’t about the gameplay/story really, it would just be gorgeous to see FFVII to be remade just for the looks of it, and the nostalgia.

it would be AMAZING to remake FFVII. And it would be epic to combine a few of the most wanted FF games into one huge story. And I also think you should add Sora, Riku, and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts. [:

Just from a business standpoint, a remake of FFVII would revive the PS3 like no other game could. I admit I would throw down a sizable wad of cash for an FFVII remake. With the back story clarifications in Crisis Core, FFVII would be so much easier to rework and have it make more sense than it did. As beloved as it is, FFVII had a lot of plot holes in it that led to years of rampant debate over what the story actually was.
I know some people are tired of remakes, but really, Square-Enix has only actually remade one Final Fantasy and that was Tactics for the PSP. The other classics were just rereleased with opening and closing cinematics, but otherwise no changes.
I hope Square-Enix does it or is doing it. It would be a real treat!

I’m actually against the idea of remaking FFVII, it’s a classic and they should leave it at that. I think it will ruin the game if they remake it just for the better graphic and have the same story line. The continue after Advent Children as a game is something that I’m more looking forward to…

FFVII would by far be the best remake ever…however if they would do it they need to only make the graphics better and possibly add voices to get rid of the annoying text boxes. Turn VII into X with the storyline of VII if that makes any sense.
Also another awesome idea for another complete graphic overhaul remake would be awesome for Perfect Dark…that perfect dark zero thing was a bunch of crap but man o man was the original the game to die for. Put tht onto PS3 along with the VII remake and sony will have the 360 crying in defeat.

I have no intentions whatsoever of purchasing a PS3 (I already have a 360) however, if they release Final Fantasy 7 as a remake on it, I’ll go out and buy the system the second I hear the news. I currently own the PC version and the ps1 version too, and I still say this.
I’m currently playing FF7, just got off because I was curious when FF6 is going to be remade (FF6 is imho a much better game, and second only to chrono trigger in absolute greatness with FF7 being third in line).
I’d rather FF6 be redone on the PSP/ps3 because I don’t believe the Nintendo DS has the power capable enough to bother with, FF3 remake is okay but there are far too few polygons in the character models, and it kind of looks like a poorly made n64 game at best. Being that they’re probably pushing the poor DS’s limits on the game I can’t complain too much though, but I can complain about the DS’s lack of capabilities.

I hope this game is remade the profits for square enix would be fenominal (that how you spell that?) there are already so many fans of this game that there is no way it could fail.
Kento if they made a story after Advent children what would they fight? I dont see it happening. Unless they make some other crappy way to bring back sephiroth.
Akash Ali/ synian I would think that a horrible idea to add anything more than a few more secret items or materia or a new mini game to Final Fantasy 7 Expecially sora or anything from Kingdom hearts games or tidus they really just dont mix well.
I agree with you boomdart about Final fantasy 6 being remade it was a collossal game but the world does not know Final Fantasy 6 as much as they know 7. Another thing that might hinder their discision on remaking 6 is the huge selection of characters. It would cost alot to get voice actors for all of them, redesign them all, remake the enviorment (mind you the enviorment on FF7 wasnt that bad and it wouldnt be as much of a hassle to remake it), and all this would add up it might not be worth the effort. I would say they need to get closer to the top of gaming history again before they even CONSIDER going for 6 then the profit might outway the costs. Marketing is everything for any of these games to sell.
What they really should do if they are going to remake anything is Mario RPG to get the nintendo fans fired up and on the train, then they should hit another classic like Chrono Trigger with small projects on the side such as another crystal chronicals or something small and easy to make, then if sales are still not high enough for that they need to Make Xenogears then hit the world with Final Fantasy 6 the remake and release all of these but Xenogears and Mario RPG multi platform for the Wii and PS3 because we all know X-box players prefer online play and RPG’s dont have much room for that at all.
Actually if Xenogears got big enough they could release a game much like Armored core for the 360 with online play and just conquor all platforms. They could very well even make a game like FF1 that you can customize your team and then make it online so you could match up against other people. The sky is the limit for Squenix they just need to think about it in a way that they could get to the top again and FF7 remake is their key!

oh by remake anything I meant remake anything AFTER Final Fantasy 7

kingdom hearts was a gay disney game for little kids.
FF7 needs to be remade…whether you like it or not…i know that a sizable amount of people would probably buy a ps3 just for that game.

A Final Fantasy VII remake would be incredible. but looking at it from a developer’s point of view, how would they keep the incredible graphics along with the deep gameplay? it would be almost too good to be true. the original Final Fantasy VII had already spanned 3 disks so how many would the remake take? its just too troublesome for Square Enix to develop, but im crossing my fingers just in case. :)
April 24th, 2008
at 1:45 pm
Hah I havent even finished the game yet but i already have wished a billion times that a remake with better graphics would come out. Dammit! Also, uhm square enix if u ever read this…why not make a version for PC as well hey? Teehee
April 24th, 2008
at 2:47 pm
The blue ray disk can hold 5 times the amount of any PS2 disk and god knows how many more times than a PS1 disk so I dont think it would be much of a problem for them to actually just remake it in words of memory capacity. We are all crossing our fingers friend.
April 24th, 2008
at 2:50 pm
oh yeah Steven Wheeler the Game Kingdom hearts actually built up their popularity with a huge variety of age groups now kids to 60 year olds know who square enix is. This move I consider to be a good one.
Ka1zn I dont think the computer will be able to handle it very well if they do remake it and if it can it would probably take up way more memory than world of warcraft with all the patches and expansions for the next year or so installed. I doubt seriously that they will make it there you may just have to buy a PS3.
May 1st, 2008

I do think they should do it, And/or have the Clasic Final Fantasy VII put into DVD format for the PS2/PS3 and clean up some of the media here and there make it have some more detail atleast. Either way i would buy the game :D i have it for both PSX and the PC heh.

They should wait until FF 13 and FFv 13 are finished to start development. The story is already there and there are voice actors now available to reprise their roles from FF 7 advent children. Do it with everything from the original, as well as add more content with some parts slightly changed because of the now realistic graphics. Keep all the original dialouge with no substitutions (especially Barrett’s rants) completing the game maybe in 2009- 2010. It should come in a special 2 disc edition, Disc 1 containing the game and Disc 2 containing the original FF 7 and FF 7 advent children complete. As well as an art book displaying art from the original and remake and another book explaining the characters and delving deeper into the story. Pitching ideas can only make the game better. PERFECTION

FF VII should not be remade like Kento said..instead should release something new which is more exciting..rather than play the same game over again with a better graphic…
May 8th, 2008

Steven Hasty….Cloud arch-enemy does not necessary be Sephiroth..think out side the box a lil bit…new story line can be very refreshing and exciting at the same time…
May 11th, 2008
at 3:00 pm
Don’t you guys get it…they will remake FF7 when they need to…its one of the only games that with out a doubt would make people buy a console(no matter the price)…with HD-DVD gone…PS3 will be fine…no need to bring out the uber FF7 remake ;)
May 12th, 2008
at 12:52 pm
Final fantasy VII remake would do the same thing the original final fantasy VII did…..this has kinda been forgotten in the mists of time but before final fantasy VII hit the shelves the Playstation was failing, miserably….but when Cloud and his friends came along the consoles started flying off the shelves….I know I originally bought my first Playstation JUST to play Final Fantasy VII and I know I’m not the only one that did so.
P.S. if you don’t get my name you wern’t paying attention in cosmo canyon where you?

exactly as RandomGuy said right now there are so much going on in PS3, why would they rather to remade a game than inventing something new…FF Tactic was a boom in PSone also, but they didn’t even improve the graphic on the remade version on PSP…
May 15th, 2008
at 9:25 pm
PS3 has so many exclusive goodies coming out… even FF VII is remade and would promote the console, people still going out to buy PS3 anyway…Xbox just try hard to catch attention by releasing the same game as PS3…
May 16th, 2008
at 9:04 pm
A PS3 remake would be great, but to be honest I’ve grown along with FF7 and made the story in my head. That’s why I loved it so much, I pronounced Nibelheim, Nibell-Hee-Em. Tifa, Tiffa. Sephiroth, Seff-EE-Roff.
I don’t want some poor *** voice acting to ruin my game, along with overdone battle systems.
It may tarnish a great memory for me. If they remake it, please let me turn off the voices.

Damn Right it should be updated, the game was fantastic, possibly the best game ever made. There has been so many final fantasies between and you would probably find that many people will forget the original story line or have not played it at all. It would be a damn shame if the game wasnt re rendered as it will make multi millions for sony and square, and if done properly it will regain its crown as the best game ever once again… Final Fanatsy 7 for ps3 all the way baby

Ill buy every version of the remake, the original, special edition, limited edition, the cloud is gay edition, whatever! i would buy 3 ps3s to play it if its was required!.

i noticed a few people saying about who would be the enemy if they did another game after advent children or they are looking forward to another game after advent children
i dont know if any of you noticed but there was a game that is dated 1 year after the events of advent children (3 years after the original game) which is final fantasy vii dirge of cerburus which i thought was a really awsome game and did help to even fill in a few plot holes in my opinion

Do you know what will be even better than an FFVII Remake, A full FF Game where every universe mixesm a bit like dissidia but in the style of a normal FF
May 25th, 2008

It would be awesome to see the game remade, this was the first game I played for PlayStation and it really got me excited about the series. I still think it’s one of the best in my opinion.
But let’s face it. If they were to remake the game they’d have to be very, VERY careful. They already have a good classic made. Change too much and it isn’t FFVII. Change too little and it isn’t that exciting for the veterans, which I’m sure would make up a good portion of the people who will purchase this game.
Either way, success would mean a VERY good game. ;)

Look guys I want a remake as much as the next guy… so I only have one thing to say… CowJedi has the right idea. I too would buy the original version, the special edition, the limited edition, the cloud is gay edition(priceless!), heck I’d even buy the Tifa lesbo edition(hehehe). look at the facts. Sony has NEVER openly denied a remake. they’ve said that it is not CURRENTLY in production. the creators have themselves said “well its kind of hard to make right now but as soon as all three of us are available it will be a possibility(wink,wink)” I just think that they are waiting for the right time to release it. Hell they remade the technical demo for crisis core. oh and one more thing…at the end of crisis core they could have put “continued in Final Fantasy VII” but no, they chose to put “TO BE continued in Final Fantasy VII” future tense NOT present tense.
signing off,

I am DYING for Square to make another FFVII! I haven’t played the original because it’s so hard to find nowadays and even if it does pop up then I’ll have to go on a wild goose chase after the extinct playstation 1. Even if all that happens the poor CG (geometric shapes) will bother me to no end. I’m relying on Square to do this for me.
More evidence is the cutscene after the credits of Crisis Core. It was the E3 PS3 demo from 2005, except it didn’t say PS3 demo. Then it clearly stated: TO BE CONTINUED IN FINAL FANTASY VII. TO BE as in coming or to come. I pray that Square will remake FFVII.
I’ve seen fans everywhere say: “If Square Enix makes a Final Fantasy VII remake for the ps3 I would go and buy a ps3 just for the remake!” So not only is it good for the series or the fans but extremely beneficial for not only Square, but for Sony’s PS3 as well. If Square uses the PS3 for the FFVII remake, obviously the remake sales for Square will be high, but ps3 sales will exponentially rise as well. Heck, even I would buy a PS3 solely for the purpose of playing the remake.
Hopefully with all this info, Square will remake FFVII. If they do, it definitely won’t be a wasted effort.

FFan you don’t need a ps1 to play the original FFVII, it can be played on a ps2 which is easy to find and cheap, as for the game you can go on ebay and find it but it’s selling for like $50 but i think it’s well worth it. As for adding other characters from ff10 and kingdom hearts i think that would be ridiculous since they are completely different story lines and are different worlds and wouldn’t make much sense. Having all the original characters and storylines would make sense because it is a re-make of the game not the story. It would be stupid to change the story because then the prequel and sequels wouldn’t fit in. I bought a psp just for FFVII Crisis Core and it was well worth it. The graphis are awesome and just seeing that made me want to play the original game with new graphics and it helps without the text boxes also…plus the voice overs shouldn’t affect you Dan since the movie Advent Children has them in it too. Personally I would rather pronounce the names of characters/towns ect… correctly and not look like a fool..(i’m not saying you are a fool dan, I would just feel like one) I am really hoping they make this game on ps3 because it would just be awesome and is another reason for me to buy one

I would reallly want a FF7 remake T_T. I would buy the PS3 just for that game lol,but it’d be nice ;if they put it on the PSP too ;)

I’m afraid that if they did a remake, they would add new content to it. Some new content could potentially be a welcome addition (an explanation of how Rufus Shinra survived the attack by Diamond WEAPON would be nice), but for the rabid FF7 fans out there, the title should be left more or less intact.
That being said, I would be heartbroken if anything were changed, but if Square Enix ever releases a remake of FF7, I will be on it faster than you can say “fanboy.”

“A PS3 remake would be great, but to be honest I’ve grown along with FF7 and made the story in my head. That’s why I loved it so much, I pronounced Nibelheim, Nibell-Hee-Em. Tifa, Tiffa. Sephiroth, Seff-EE-Roff.”
Dan, kudos to you! I think I pronounced everything pretty much the same way you did, with the exception of Sephiroth, in which case I said “SEFF-er-oth.” And to anyone who think that maybe I can’t read as well as I should, I was six when I got the game, and the way I said it then stuck on me.
Personally, I think a remake with new, improved graphics would sucker in a million other people to playing the game, just for the more appealing characters. Then they’d probably claim to be the “Number 1 Fan” or whatever, leaving a lot of original fans really pissed off. I mean, the original FFVII would only be remembered to those who actually played it and loved it, because unless a bunch of new fans of the graphics suddenly became die-hard fans and got a copy of the older version, wouldn’t the old be overrun by the new?
And as GrrPi stated, I’m also afraid that they would add new content, or take away the little things that some people might really enjoy, such as those little cutscenes that you just happen to stumble across. I heard a rumour that Vincent and Yuffie would become mandatory characters. Of course, this was back when the remake WAS being made. But really now, what kind of a remake would it be if there was content added?
I say that if a remake had to be done, they keep the script exactly the way it was in FFVII. No changing the dialog, because what fun would it be if Cid and Barret’s cursing was edited out? I’d be severely crushed if they did change anything other than graphics. The music is just superb as it is.
That said, if the remake were to come out, I’d pounce on a PS3 within 5 minutes of hearing the news. Luck!

Aah, the good old “who-what-when-where-why” Final Fantasy VII Remake debate, I save long droning speeches for occasions such as these!
To be honest? Yes, I’m in favor of Square-Enix recreating Final Fantasy VII, hopefully on a next-gen console. Let’s face it, we wouldn’t be happy with a remake unless Square-Enix did all that was within their power to make sure that the remake has no less than twice the impact on the gaming community than it did back in 1997. For years we Final Fantasy Fans have wanted this and, on occasion, we’ve even considered begging - many of you have already run that extra mile, by bombarding their inbox with heartfelt e-mails brimming with devotion and praise! And yet as we sit here, clinging to whatever hint of a hint they offer us and staring rumors of the only remake we desire, we may not have taken the opportunity to consider that they wouldn’t make one - or may have fallen victim to denial when we’ve had to come to terms with that reality, that it’s another possibility. Still, we hope and pray. Would expect anything less of us?
First, we have to consider who. Who would remake it? Who could? And, more importantly, who should? I would’ve thought it to be obvious, but it seems there are still those that don’t quite understand the development process of a game and their re-makes. One is no less exhausting and challenging than the other. Even as you read that I know there are still a couple of eyes rolling in their sockets, thinking they know better, that they, someone who’s never even laid eyes on a gaming developments building, let alone felt the intensity and energy of game creation, have the better idea of what it boils down to. Once you know what it means to be a developer and part of a team, you’ll understand that the task of re-making Final Fantasy VII can only be accomplished by the original team. Only then will they be able to re-capture the fascination, the originality and the magic that was Final Fantasy VII!
Second, let’s say they’ve decided to re-make Final Fantasy VII, no doubt there are a lot of people out there with ideas of what should be changed, what should be add, taken away and what ought to be re-vamped. But all these suggestions should be discarded. I’m not sorry, if the re-make consisted of pointers and personal preferences of millions of people, the game would be in shambles. That would completely undermine the point of bringing back the original team to create the game, and would destroy what many of us have hoped for, several years running. In my opinion, let’s leave what the game should be up to the team who already know what make the crowd go wild, they’ve done it once, and they can do it again!
(These paragraphs are awfully opinionated aren’t they?)
Third, here’s a big one: when? I’d read earlier of someone making the assumption that they’d release a Final Fantasy VII remake after the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII, because The game developers wanted to get used to the system before they took a stab at Final Fantasy VII - to do it justice! Now this is an theory I can get behind! Consoles do carry a trend that, if a developer spends more time with a particular system, they eventually figure out ways to use it’s advanced technology to it’s limits, and beyond even that (they achieve a limit breaker so to speak, ohoho…I know it was a bad joke, so sue me). For example, take the GameCube; Right before the release of it’s advancement (the Wii) it’s was given the grand honor of hosting “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess” along with the Wii. Did you notice? Their graphics where identical. There are a lot of jokes made about saying something like that, but the point of this isn’t to undermine the Wii’s graphical shortcomings, no (even the Wii has graphical advancements on it’s predecessor). It was to show you just how far Twilight Princess’ developers had mastered the GameCube’s system. They’d learnt so much that they created a game that could stand on par with the GameCube’s Legacy! The same can be said for game developers of the PS3, the more time they spend on this console, the more efficiently they can use it’s potential to their advancement. So just wait, just a little longer - we’ve already waited 10 years, a few more won’t hurt.
(…Read on, true fans…you near peace of mind…)
Fourth, on this subject there isn’t much to say - where? It’s hard to apply to this situation isn’t it? I’ll only say that there’s no doubt in my mind that if this re-make ever happens, it will be “where” the Final Fantasy VII story finally ends.
The Fifth and Final consideration: Why? Why re-create Final Fantasy VII? They knew we could never be satisfied with those sorry excuses of Final Fantasy VII spin-offs. When I played Dirge of Cerberus, I’d only ever felt as disappointed when “Friends” stopped and “Joey” began. No, what we wanted was never a continuation of the story, nor a summing up! It was our first reaction and instant acceptance of the game! That fleeting feeling of Joy, sadness, excitement and inspiration all at the same time! It kept us playing for hours on end, we wouldn’t stop to eat, not to sleep, not even to breath - because it stole our breath away… A feeling we could never forget, but grows dimmer with each passing year. All we wanted was to experience the feeling; One last time.
Another Final Fantasy VII? Sure, I’ll wait.

After playing and beating crisis core the before story to our beloved FF7 this just gave me mixed emotions about the remake. Yes i want it because we can experience it all over again and maybe with the enhanced graphics of the PS3 or even on the PSP because the did a really good job on crisis core. No, only for one reason is that when they do it, it might then put the story to sleep, and we don’t want that ether. We want to know ever inch of the story like what happen during the time between ff7 and the movie, or even another story spinoff like how they did vincent’s game maybe they could to Barret’s story. But if we ever get a remake of this glorous story we would all be happy square too because they get more money and sony’s PS3 sales go up and then us the fans and buyers of their products well finally get what we wanted.

I just bought Final Fantasy Crisis Core and I love it it is a great game its just different. That game alone leads me to believe this game WILL be remade They have already redesigned the areas they already have the voice actors for mostly everyone they have tons of stuff they can make new or just improve. This game is a reality and Squenix is just trying to pull the wool over our eyes and make us believe it wont happen Who knows what will happen WHEN this game IS remade once they announce it I assure you I will be one of the first to preorder! The game is phenominal I loved every bit of it Cloud Tifa and Yuffie all the way. I dont think the voice acting will suck this game is just to big for them to mess up they would never be able to live it down so they are probably going to push it back as much as they can if they havent already started producing it already. If they have they probably started it back when they made Advent children.
About making a new game new story after careful consideration Yeah Heck yeah but attatch it to the game! Seriously what would be better than right after you beat FFVII you get to unlock the NEXT game in the series! Even better why dont they release a “Timeline Edition” Start at a PS3 version of Crisis Core then the Reborn FFVII, then they make a playable version of Advent children, then on to Dirge of Cerberus, Then finish it up with an awesome finale with the whole team in a new adventure…
>drooling in thought of something so amazing<
That would be the Game to end all games!

I want a remake of FF7. If they made it, I don’t think anyone would ever stop (re)playing it. Oh, and it would be kinda cool if they could follow every character as an installment like DoC, and then have them meet up to save the world (again).

Yeah that would be the best giving every character their own little side thing letting us see they kept in good shape and didnt get rusty.

Matthew makes very good points. It would take a lot of work to develop the game. Yeah, they have the storyline, characters, etc. But to remake the graphics, even if the make game play exact, it will still take as long to make it as it did the original. Nevertheless, it would definitely be worth it for them. Like those above me stated: they will most likely wait until the PS3 is in dire need of a savior.
I personally only want the graphics, and the voices redone. I think everything else should be exact, the battle scenes, the way you traverse the world map, the secrets, hidden characters, exact dialogue. Use voice actors from AC and you have pretty much every voice you need. Maybe add a mini game or two to the Golden Saucer, but other than that keep everything the same.
Do you remember all of those rumors about the Silver Chocobo? The one that could run underwater as well? I am still on the fence as to rather I would like them to actually add that in or not. It isn’t big enough to ruin the game, but it could still mess it up a little.
As for pronunciation: I pronounced Sephiroth as Suff-ee-roth, and Chocobo as chi-co-bo, I think I had everything else right though.

i grew up on this game i skipped skool when i was 6 to play. I say a remake is sure bet all the game needs is more mini games better graphics and more background on characters like zack ( I almost cried in crisis core when he died ) p.s. chocobos are the best mini game ever!!

Yeah Silver chocobo I have mixed feelings on. I would really like it if they made it so you could get Arieth back maybe Zack as a hidden character? I dunno though those may be enough to make or break the game though. New games adding the other games that could be cool but I dont know about to many changes.
New game idea’s? Well I think the only thing you could do with Cait Sith is a casino game, Barret maybe a shooter like DOC, Tifa… that one would be hard, Arieth I dont think is possible, Cid Im scared they would ruin him like Kingdom Hearts did (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LEAVE CID ALONE YOU ********! HE SMOKES HE ISNT A HICK!), Yuffie its possible just cuz she is so popular that they could just throw something together and it could suck but it would sell, I wonder if they would make some more weapons? I mean they were fun the part of the game you actually looked forward to after you beat it!
Personally if they remake 7 and leave it alone or just add some side crap thats completly optional that would be awesome and it would sell next on their list should be 6 or maybe team up with Nintendo again and make a Super Mario RPG 2. I am completely sick of seeing these paper mario’s they were fun but nintendo is just trying to reproduce what Square soft once perfected. (BTW IMO Squenix was a HORRIBLE MERGER. Soft was way better off without enix the producers seem to think more on cheap and easy then they think about good games anymore and it saddens me.) Maybe they should try to remake Xenogears and cut this Xenosaga crap. If ya havent played Xenogears and you can afford to just drop 50$ do it it is well worth your money and is a great game same goes for super mario RPG, or is that one a downloadable on the Wii? dunno it was awesome though and family friendly. I cant think of many good games from Enix… was Chrono Trigger? IDK but E.V.O was a great one.
Anyway after that rant I guess my point is if Sq soft would have just stayed the way it was 7 would have been remade by now and been just as good as ever if not better. /cry R.I.P awesome games from the 1990’s we will miss your awesome producers!
