love this so much.
Wow, awesome. :D
That was pretty dern interesting.
Someday
Someday we'll see a remake.
No thanks.
I prefer Fatal Fantasy VII
Spoilers: I actually have this demo on a disc somewhere, it is one of the weirdest things I've ever 'played'.
^ Haha, yeah, I saw that a few years back, it's one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.
Overall I applaud these dudes on the Unreal project, but it would take quite a while to remake the entire game like that. But if they can somehow muster enough manpower and avoid a lawsuit, my hat off to them! Thanks, Renmiri!
Wow that was terrible.
lol i like how they changed it into and First-Person RPG. Searching bodies after they die was hilarious. But the absolute best part was when Cloud went Super Sayin to use Fire Materia.
PS. Zack (who frankly had the best character model) appearing in the lifestream was pretty cool too.
Ya, Zack was spiffin.Quote:

wow do these guys not know that the Unreal Engine can run in 3rd person too, the Batman Arkham games say hello...
Is it just me, or did they use Dissidia models for Cloud and Tifa?
Hyperlinks later...
The major divide between remake enthusiasts and remake haters is the idea of style over substance: that being the loss of a large portion of the game with the edition of spiffier graphics.
I just want the game ported. Actually, I think Before Crisis should be remade. Then we'd have three games and a film to flesh out the "FF7 remake" world.
How marvelous that fans are working on the remake that Square has been on the iff about for a while. The man is doing this on his own and is still just learning to make games, but was able to produce something of this quality which I find superb. I still cannot do much myself in it at all. I hope he continues working and put his skills to work. We need more determined people.
They both looked pretty homemade to me.Quote:

You can search youtube and find several other, and frankly, better FFVII remake attempts by fans over the years, some recent, some not so recent. None have ever been anywhere near finished as far as I'm aware, but it's fun to watch some of them, just for the fact that I think it'd be awesome to play FFVII with updated graphics. I'd settle for PS2 graphics myself.
It's a nice thought but honestly, as big an FFVII fan I am, I am just fine if they never remake it. No matter how they do it people will complain that its not good enough.
Yeah I'd be happy with PS2 graphics as well and a smooth framerate for the battles.
I doubt it'll ever get done. They didn't recreate the whole opening cutscene at all and when you factor in how long it probably took them just to make the train stop, and just how many different environments are in FFVII and how huge a lot of them are, you'd need a real big industry player like Square with the know-how to get it done. FFVII was a huge game and while I don't think it would take the "up to ten years!" Square management and producers are claiming, it would definitely take a good amount of time.
What's the opposite of a soundtrack? ... probably not what I'm about to propose. I think the VII FMVs should be redone with Advent-style graphics and released on a disc like a soundtrack would.
This type of project has been done before, but some are more successful than others. Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes was an example of a fan project for a sequel for Chrono Trigger that ended with a Cease & Desist letter from Square Enix only days from its release to the public. I applaud fan communities that take the initiative to do something like this and hope that legalities don't get in the way.Quote:

I fear this could only end in tears. But wish them the best of luck.
As someone who has been entirely against any sort of remake for the game, I will say that if (really, "when") it happened (happens) THAT is how I would want it done. NOT in the more realistic updated style of Advent Children, NOT including story elements introduced in the crappy Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, but something along the lines of how it's portrayed there.
However, they would never do it that way, so I keep my stance that I in no way want Square to ever put their dirty paws on that game. It's damn near perfect just the way it is.
Actually, it didn't lower my opinion of SE. Normally, such an action would, but shortly after they cancelled the project, they released the DS rerelease of Chrono Trigger.Quote:

Now we just need to wait a bit longer and get the Chrono Resurrection project to start up once SE has moved past CT again.
I remind people yet again that remaking this game in current generation graphics will eventually entail having to animate a scene in which Cloud gets gangbanged in a bathhouse. In modern day graphics.
I don't see the problem.Quote:

And I'd love a remake...if it didn't have voice-overs. That is the one quality of addition to an FFVII remake that would ruin it for me.
