Get hyped because it's happening then rein in that hype because it's going to be years before it's done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kznek1uNVsg

I imagine it's being planned for a 2017 release for a "20th anniversary" type thing. Then again, they'd probably need to release FFXV and KHIII first so meh

FF7 is my favorite videogame. For me it was the introduction to the future of gaming with its insanely large 3D world to explore in an rpg. I know the remake or maybe any other game in the future probably can't give me that feeling back so it may be a great game but it won't be the same. I hate anime characters. I think they all look the same and I think they're super generic. I don't differentiate between Cloud and Squall other than the color of their spiky hair. When FF7 came out all I saw was tiny blocky characters and it felt more cartoonish than anime. Yes, the character portraits show the anime faces but I didn't really pay attention to it. I think FF7 aged HORRIBLY. It's so ugly I don't know where to begin and today I play it purely because of nostalgia. I think FF9 is the best in the series - characters, story, music and art. LBP gave me that sensation FF7 gave me back in 2007. Freedom of expression. That feeling of something you hadn't seen before. Sure, we have garry's mod and other mods and games but LBP looked different. It didn't really look like any platformer before it. There's not much to say about Mario 64. If you played it at release you know why. I never owned a N64. I do now! I got a french official RGB modded console from ebay just months ago. Just cause. I'm a retro guy. I had the Playstation and never experienced Ocarina of Time at release. If I did there's a very good chance it'd be my favorite game before FF7. I remember trying it on my 266mhz (333 Overclock ) on the project64 emulator and it didn't run great. Flawless graphics but very low framerate. Through the years I only briefly played it on emulators and one time I finished the forest temple. Later I played up to the Water temple. Then I got the 3ds version and finished it. Great game. MGS1 was what showed me the true cinematic potential of games I suppose. I could name FF adventure on GB, Zelda 3, SoM...tons of great games high up on my list. I'm still waiting for the NEXT "NEW" experience - It's got to be VR if done right. I tried the first oculus kit but the resolution was laughable and you could hardly call it an experience.

this worries me more than anything. I was obsessed with FF7. I hope they don't mess it up

I'm fairly excited enough for the FF7 remake. However I won't allow myself to get overly excited until much more real info starts rolling out for it. So for now I'll just keep a interested eye on it. FF7 is my favorite JRPG. I'm not saying it's perfect... Tho IMO it's far better & more a complete package adventure then any other RPG i've seen. However there's no reason to believe yet that the remake will be any good. Fancy new graphics alone does not make a good game. Again, FF7 was a complete package adventure... This is because unlike most other RPGs that are overly straight forward with little nothing else more to do then follow a basic story, battle stuff for no reason and collect items... FF7 had tons of silly fun minigames & side missions & story moments which was packed full of charm. Such as the chocobo breeding/racing. the motorcycle minigame. Anything you could found on the gold saucer arcade. That side quest where you had to find items in order to cross dress to save your friends. The Tifa slap fight... The list goes on and on. All of this is why in my opinion FF7 was epic. Not because of just it's battle system or the basic side of it's story... What I'm afraid is the company could possibly not include almost everything that made FF7 well... FF7... and try to streamline it to cut costs and maybe even to appeal more to the modern generation who don’t appreciate whimsical stuff like minigames anymore and to those who take games WAY to seriously... If all that ends up being left is just new graphics and the basic battle system and story without much else... It wouldn't be FF7 to me or to many... It'd just be another generic JRPG... except using the FF7 face and name. I'm not saying any change is a bad thing. They can feel free to add content and even change and remove some content... just as long they keep the spirit of the original game & everything it was trying to do. Which includes it's silly-ness & fun content that had nothing to do with the main storyline or battle system. Anyways the point is... you can't sell me on game with just new graphics alone... The game needs to actually be fun & have charm & not be afraid to have fun with itself. Regardless I am looking forward to hearing more about the FF7 remake... I just hope they don't ruin it is all...

Sorry, fans of Square Enix's Active Time Battle system, but it sounds like the Final Fantasy 7 Remake is going a different direction for its combat. Speaking to Official PlayStation Magazine, game director Tetsuya Nomura said that the team will be making "dramatic changes" to the game's fights. "And of course, that being said we want to clarify: We’re not going to be changing it into a shooter or something like that. We are going to be bringing dramatic changes, but we want to make sure it’s still recognizable." If the thought of something different-but-kinda-the-same brought to mind the 2005 film Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, you're not too far off from Nomura's own thinking. Nomura stated that the team will be looking to the movie - which Nomura also directed - for visual references and inspiration, but that he and his team "don’t intend on utilising the 3D models of Advent Children as is because, well, it’s a different technology, and it’s actually been almost ten years since Advent Children was first released." http://www.gamesradar.com/ff7-final-fantasy-7-remake-combat-dramatic-changes-advent-children/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews

Not quite sure how to feel about this. I loved FF7 back when it was released but I grew tired of how SE was so willing to milk it by way of several unnecessary spin-offs and the fact that it seemed to cast a shadow over all the FFs that followed in setting a precedent for success in the fandom. In my ideal scenario, a remake of FF7 would involve perfecting what the original had done while largely ignoring everything that came after. I'd want the story to remain more or less the same, but with a redone script that rewrote the more...sloppy elements of the original and make no mention of stuff like Genesis or Angeal whatsoever. I wouldn't mind a different battle system because when it came down to it, 7 wasn't really a difficult game at all; even the greatest challenges were surmountable by grinding levels and materia until you had the raw power and sufficiently potent materia combinaions to beat them. I do hope they keep the materia system, since I think it's still something that no other FF has quite done but something that involves a bit more skill and less dependance on grinding would be welcome. I'd also be rather interested in how they would recreate the setting; the original game had some fantastic locations and I'm wondering what fully 3D versions of places like Midgar or the City of the Ancients would look.

Lord-Dreamerz said it best - the original is full of charm and stupid and funny sidequests and minigames. It's got so many corny moments. They're not going to make that.

I dont think its possible for a remake to maintain the same charm as the original. By no means am I implying the game will be bad, but I think its impossible to satisfy every fan. Traditional JRPGs like FF 7 required a lot of us to use our imagination. The problem with that is, we all have different interpretations of what the perfect FF 7 remake would be, simply because we all may have interpreted the game differently. This game will be very different from the original...I mean it is a remake and not a remaster. I also dont mind changes to the story. FF 7 is far from my favorite Final Fantasy story-even if its kinda the coolest. If that makes sense. I would like to see Tifa less cloud obsessed and see a bit more of her personality. I'd love to learn more about Yuffie and vincent as well. The battle system could use a overall-as long as it doesnt turn into a hack and slash game. That would be disastrous. Personally, I am more interested in FF XV. Its new. I am not exactly sold on this yet. I guess we will know in the 5+ years it takes for this to release.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3sBZ5Nr4hc Sounding like they're going episoodic with this. FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE will be told across a multi-part series, with each entry providing its own unique experience. http://press.na.square-enix.com/releases/586/final-fantasy-vii-remake-showcased-at-playstation-experience

oh bullcrap! Definitely won't get this then, or at least until you can get the whole thing in one go. That's such crap. I have my reservations about it anyway and then they go and do this BS.

Idk, depends on how they do it really, if they charge $60 per part then probably not getting it, but if it's like $19.99 - $29.99 per and it's actually a lot more than the original, then maybe. Then there's also the alternate theory people are saying where they'll do it in parts because they plan to add ALL of FF7, as in FF7 and all canon games and maybe even add Advent Children's story, in which case it might actually be worth it.

Theres realistically no way they could fit FF 7 in one game if they are remaking it with the attention they have shown. Remember, Midgar was only like the first four hours of the game. An episodic release makes sense. Like they did with FF 13, each game can be its own experience with tons of hours(even extra's). The only way they could fit the game in one release is if a lot of parts are taken out and fans would complain about that as well. FF 7's world would be the size of like 7 Witcher 3's if they are making it to the scale they seem to be implying.
