If you could remake one entry from the Compilation...

[Wolf Kanno]

Which one would it be and what would you change?

[Big D]

Dirge of Cerberus. This game had plenty of potential, but delivered more than a few let-downs. I'd like to make a fair number of additions and deletions...

Add:

Decent third-person gameplay, including greater agility and far more lifelike enemy AI.
More Limit Break transformations.
A target lock button (a la the early Syphon Filter games) to make acrobatic combat more natural.
A UI that evokes the fonts, colours and layout of the original FFVII more closely.
The ability to climb ladders somewhat faster than an arthritic snail.
Much greater freedom to explore locations, both new and old. Where's the value in making us watch the bullet-dodging aerlial invasion of Midgar in a cut-scene, then not letting us take control of Vincent on his hoverboard?
Way more involvement from the original FFVII cast. I'd especially like it if the final invasion into Deepground territory required you to split the heroes into 'parties of three', just like the original game - creating three strike teams to handle each part of the operation, and getting to fight alongside any two of the returning characters.
Decent resolution to Dr Rui's story arc :mad:


Remove:

90% of the Deepground forces, so they're an elite unit rather than an entire freaking city-sized army.
Most of the story's sickeningly-high civilian death toll. It really feels like Deepground managed to ravage entire populations wantonly, creating a disaster far worse than anything suffered during the original game, and that really bothers me.
Hojo cheating death through the power of the internet, 'cause that trout be whack yo.

VII, graphical spit shine, a modern battle system and online co-op. Yeah, online co-op. Hear me out on this. You know when you watch an awesome movie with friends and it's such a good shared experience? I just think it'd be awesome to experience the fantastic FFVII with friends and assorted EoFFers.

[Forsaken Lover]

I agree with remaking DoC. It had more potential than any of the other Compilation entries and yet it squandered most of it.

I want more backstory and development for the Tsviets.
Get rid of Hojo and have just regular Weiss be the bad guy.
Actually show us the damned Cloud vs. Rosso fight!
Make Lucrecia actually sympathetic instead of a monster on par with Hojo.

[Bubba]

VII for me. Nothing too drastic though. Make the character models consistent throughout gameplay, battle and cut scenes. Nice HD coating. Keep all the pre-rendered backgrounds. Enhanced sound. Make Mukki a playable character.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I would want a remake and widespread release on Vita and/or 3DS of Before Crisis. I don't remember much about it, but I remember being pretty intrigued about it when it was first coming out in Japan. I don't know enough about it to know what changes I would want made, but I would just like the chance to experience it.

[Wolf Kanno]

I think I should have been more clear about this. Only the new titles in the Compilation are allowed. You can't choose VII itself, only things like Advent Children or Crisis Core for example.

[Kalevala]

Make it so that they never happened.

This is an amazing idea, just think if you could all control 1 character... it would be such great fun to tackle bosses as a group.

I also would remake VII, it is the best one of the compilation after all. I would add voices and graphical shine, then tweak a few summons and probably get rid of KotR and replace it with something else.

I would also add a group limit system where all three of your character's does a move unique to them... sort of like the 3 person moves in Chrono Trigger.

I'd remove Genesis from the mako reactor where Sephiroth and Cloud find those experiments. STOP CHANGING TROUT!

I'd remove Genesis from the entire game. It's not as though he's a part of FFVII's story. Nor do you need him to make Crisis Core interesting. The entire story of Sephiroth's insanity and Zack's conflicts, such as the conflict between his feelings for Aeris and his role in SOLDIER. His "war buddy" friendship with Sephiroth versus his feelings about Sephiroth's obvious insanity. There was so much potential to this game that I feel was wasted to have a cookie cutter villain that no one liked, was badly retconned into a place he didn't belong, and served no purpose to the overall story.

Also, I'd remove the slot machine. Down with RNG based gameplay.

[Mercen-X]

I actually agree. I think Genesis would have been better received as a character had he been implemented in another main installment like the upcoming FF15.

[Ayen]

I was indifferent towards Genesis overall and don't care if he's in the game or not, I just didn't like him in that scene since I hate when they redo scenes from previous installments like that. It's a pet peeve of mine. I blame George Lucas.

[Psychotic]

But it would be called Assvent no Children allowed, and it would be pornographic in nature. "ooh, Cloud, let me see your Buster Sword".

[Wolf Kanno]

I think it would be a better film actually.

[Mirage]

VII for me. Nothing too drastic though. Make the character models consistent throughout gameplay, battle and cut scenes. Nice HD coating. Keep all the pre-rendered backgrounds. Enhanced sound. Make Mukki a playable character.

So you want 230x240 2D backgrounds stretched over potentially a widescreen 42+ inch TV, while using full resolution 3D models? It'd look like a fan-made patchwork.

If you're gonna ask them to re-render all the 2D backgrounds in higher res, they might as well make the game full 3D with a static camera in the same position as when making the still images.

I'd honestly not given it that much thought. The question was hypothetical and I was just describing the way I would like to see it re-done. The actual logistics of how it is done does not concern me at all.

>>> Crisis Core, that game was terrible. Dirge of Cerberus is gold compared to it..:luca:
