Why we won't see a remake Sorry guys, it's not going to happen.

[demondude]

Majoras mask stuck to the roots just as much as any other Zelda game.
Wind waker was cel-shaded but that's still a Zelda game isn't it? Besides Majoras mask was brilliant and INNOVATIVE it shook things up a bit and people liked that.

[Sephitachi7]

It is a good debate but in the end the remake, whether it is on the PS3 or on the PSP, depends on the decisions of the developers. We can keep arguing and trying to persuade each other of who is right and wrong, but it is no one's decision here. Therefore there is really no point in having this debate, seeing as it will not change a thing in what the developers actually decide.

For the record, I do believe there will be a remake. Hopefully for the PS3. Regardless of the system it comes out in I will buy the game and the system. I am in college yet the little time I have to play games I will gladly spend playing the new FF7, if there ever is such a thing.

[cloud21zidane16]

Everyone has been stating points as to why it will or wont be remade, we re just going to have to wait and see.

[Serapy]

It perfectly makes sense.
toad626 doesn't like FF7 or the idea of it being remade, so he seeked information regarding that the game may never get remade just to deceive people into believing that the whole thing is true. Anyway, you are wrong. So please try to remove your "feeling" from this whole thing and (like what I said) consider facts that there are actually possibilities for the game to get remade.

So of course, there are possibilities to each side (one for not being remade and two for being remade).

In the future, if it actually got remade. You will make a fool out of yourself (this thread).

I don't have time to research more, but there are a few possibilities that I know of that FF7 might get remade:

1) All the other old FF got remade. That certainly raises the possibility of other original FF games getting remade. e.g. FF7.

2) At the cosplay party in London, UK, Akitoshi Kawazu and Hiroshi Minagawa has told FF fans that the possibility of FF7 being remade on PS3 is risen. Consider this question is: why would they WANT to let FF fans down IF they ACTUALLY won't ever remake FF7? BTW, I was there at the party.

3) The developers of FF7 rushed in finishing FF7 because time was running out. That rises the possibility of it getting remade to complete the whole development.

4) The developers were pleased with the sales of FF7. So many customers made great reviews about it.

There are many more.

I never said I didn't like FF7. It was actually a very good game. But at the same time it's terribly overrated. And it is def on the lower end of my list of best Final Fantasies. The only Final Fantasy I truly hated was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. God did that suck... I think I would piss on that cart if I ever came across one for my old SNES. I'd buy it just to piss on it. My point was to try and educate people that it takes more than this so called "demand from fans" (though I still believe this demand isn't nearly as large as you all think) for them to push a full blown AAA PS3 project. All these retarded sites think it's something the company could just come in and do at any moment and boom a new remake is coming. NO. The world doesn't work like that. Time, money, talent, and everything I already stated. I've always wanted a Chrono Trigger remake in 3d as many others do. But that hasn't happened. And I believe that hasn't happened for the same reasons that I don't think FF7 will get remade. And no I wouldn't feel stupid if I'm wrong. I could care less. One thing you learn in college is that's it's ok to be wrong. Either way I wouldn't care, You know why, because my life revolves around more than video games.

It's dumb to say that FF7 was rushed. All FF's have been rushed. And many have been incomplete. They've said that so many times. You want an example of others. FF Tactics, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE HELL THAT WAS ABOUT? It kicked ass, but what the hell was the plot? One of the WORST localization jobs ever done. FFX, if they released when it was scheduled to in 02 dialog probably would have matched with the mouths. But they had to put it out for the holiday season. 8 had many problems as well. I could go on.

And sephitachi7 it's not just that I'm in college that I have no time. I'm in a tough major, probably harder than yours. Which seeing as you are on a site like this is probably Computer Science. I was one of those once then I got my head on straight when I realized I was allergic to boring. Programming was not fun. Was a snooze. So I became a Bio-Chem major and haven't looked back. Love Chem. Certain majors require more study than others, and mine is more so than most other majors. As many of the Fundamental Sciences are.

How can the game be overrated when people have different opinions about it?

To bring better satisfaction towards customers and better productivity for the company, sometimes they have to listen to people and so on. That's how some companies get richer.

Anyways, that's not entirely the point.
FF7 has sold 9.5 million copies worldwide, meaning getting it remade would bring a higher chance of getting the same kind of sales because a lot of people recognize FF7. You know, getting FF7 remade is better than making a new FF game because there's a chance that the new FF game won't have very good sales like FF7.

I've always wanted a Chrono Trigger remake in 3d as many others do. But that hasn't happened. And I believe that hasn't happened for the same reasons that I don't think FF7 will get remade.

Chrono Trigger is completely different and doesn't come from the FF series.
Final Fantasy 7 came from the same series: FF1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are also from the same series and those already got remade, so why wouldn't FF7 get remade as well?

It's dumb to say that FF7 was rushed. All FF's have been rushed. And many have been incomplete.

Not really.... The developers have stated that rushing to finish FF7 is more worse than finishing other FF games.

They've said that so many times. You want an example of others. FF Tactics, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE HELL THAT WAS ABOUT? It kicked ass, but what the hell was the plot? One of the WORST localization jobs ever done.

Ha, then explain why is there a forthcoming remake version of FF Tactics for PSP?

...I could go on.

You didn't make any explanation about more possibilities of FF7 getting remade. E.g. at the cosplay party.

So it seems everyone's so eager to see AC quality Cloud get in a bath with eight AC quality naked men. It's heartwarming to see such open-mindedness on these forums. I always knew everyone was lovely here!

Overrated? don’t make me laugh! Final fantasy 7 is a great game the graphics may be a bit naff now but the story and the game play is still very good, when anyone says a game is overrated it is clear they don’t like the game, I think many final fantasy games are looked at too closely and criticized too much. As for remaking the game I would like them too but if they don’t I wont lose any sleep over it, the original is still a great game.

[Raebus]

It really is overrated. I LIKE the game but even I say its overrated. I think its good but not GREAT or the BEST out there.

People give it too much credit at times.

[Bolivar]

Most definately, on all that. Of course there are people on this site that will to defend to the death that it's overrated, but if you remember what video games were like before, of course it was going to garner that kind of reaction from people, even Sakaguchi and Uematsu will tell you it was a huge jump, and they have in various interviews.

The only game I might ever say is overrated is Halo, but fans who say Halo is the best don't go into over-detailed analysis of the gameplay, or academic literary critique of the storyline, they just think it's a fun and enthralling game, like most FFVII fans will tell you. It's the detractors who come in here using overly critical devices, when, if applied to the games they put as undoubtedly better, would make them look like worthless works of garbage.

I'd love a remake, but like VV007 said, the original is still fun and still bangs hard on my surround sound system.

[toad626]

How can the game be overrated when people have different opinions about it?

Did you play FF7 when it came out for the first time?

Yes and unlike you I wasn't a noob to the series with the release of 7. I wasn't "blown" by anything. Not even the graphics, as that was expected. It was a new platform. Just like When 4 was released as 2 for the SNES. I remember that one too. Played that one for hours on end which really pissed off my brother as it was his game.lol. I was 8 I think when we got our copy of FF2 for the SNES.

My point was to try and educate people that it takes more than this so called "demand from fans" (though I still believe this demand isn't nearly as large as you all think) for them to push a full blown AAA PS3 project. All these retarded sites think it's something the company could just come in and do at any moment and boom a new remake is coming. NO.

You know, getting FF7 remade is better than making a new FF game because there's a chance that the new FF game won't have very good sales like FF7.

Do you honestly think that the people on internet forums, the dorks that attend the SE parties, Tokoyo Game show, E3 and other nerd conventions speak for the whole of FF7's original fan base? If you do you have a lot to learn. You are probably 20-30 percent of that 9.5 million that bought the original game. The rest of us 70% have moved on to other great games. Instead of continue to talk about how great FF7 was and we should just stop playing games, because no one will ever beat FF7 (rolling eyes). Sure it was a good game and has its own place in history, but leave it there, and lets get some new games. Despite what you think, the masses are way more interested in GTA 4 than FF13 or if a FF7 remake did happen they would still be way more interested in GTA 4. And there's many other games that have people's attention. And then you have the media. X-play doesn't really care for FF so they are promoting games like Knights of the Old Republic. Which is good but I wouldn't give it a 5 like they did. The casual gamer sees this kind of advertisement on tv and that's what's he's going to get.

So basically, what you are saying is SE should just stop now? They won't ever make a better game than FF7 so they should quit while they are ahead? They hit their peak with 7 and that's it, the end? And let me guess, FF13 looks really good, but 7 is always going to be the best game right? You are ridiculous. They have plenty more great projects to make. Saying they should should be making a FF7 remake instead of these new games is anti inovation. You are a FF7 fan. I am a SE fan, and have played many of their other games that don't contain the words Final or Fantasy in their title. And I hold many of them in very high regard. 7 though good is not the "God" of the gaming world.

I've always wanted a Chrono Trigger remake in 3d as many others do. But that hasn't happened. And I believe that hasn't happened for the same reasons that I don't think FF7 will get remade. And no I wouldn't feel stupid if I'm wrong. I could care less. One thing you learn in college is that's it's ok to be wrong.

Apparently you can't read either. I stated in the original post that if a remake comes out, it's probably heading to handheld. Will be a graphical face lift, but not a new blown AAA project. We all know that some of remake will come eventually, duh that's a no brainer, when I speak of why the remake isn't going to come, I'm specifically speaking about the PS3.

It's dumb to say that FF7 was rushed. All FF's have been rushed. And many have been incomplete.

Not really.... The developers have stated that rushing to finish FF7 is more worse than finishing other FF games.

They also stated they rushed 2 (IV) (you are probably too young to remember that) Read it in an old Nintendo Power. And it was pretty evident as it didn't have a very good localization job. They rushed 7, 8, and 10. 7 was no worse than the others. That's all fan propaganda.

They've said that so many times. You want an example of others. FF Tactics, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE HELL THAT WAS ABOUT? It kicked ass, but what the hell was the plot? One of the WORST localization jobs ever done.

Ha, then explain why is there a forthcoming remake version of FF Tactics for PSP?

Yea, I think it came out. What a pos system. I feel sorry for the saps that actually buy a PSP. UMD is crap...

...I could go on.

You didn't make any explanation about more possibilities of FF7 getting remade. E.g. at the cosplay party.

You are the very type of people that need to venture out more into not only the game world, but the REAL world. Example you went to Europe and went to a video game convention? What a waste of time. My ass would be after the ladies. Or hitting up what little waves they have on their shores. But I don't plan on ever visiting Europe. As I hate Socialists. Further more, until I hear the words I want to Remake Final Fantasy VII from Numora or Kitase, I won't believe it. Any little BS interview or whatever is discussed in them. These beat around the bush answers are no indications (I'll wait while you get the dictionary... back yet?) of their feelings for a remake.

[Sarc the Swordsman]

I've pretty much given up on the hope of seeing a remake a few years ago. Sure, it'd be nice...but Square had their chance to make it a few years ago. Instead, they focused on silly subplots like Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus.

[The Crystal]

It perfectly makes sense.

What he said.


And lets be frank. FFVII is so criticized and bashed these days(because of it's supposed "popularity"), that we can't label it "overrated" anymore.

[Forsaken Lover]

FFVII was my first FF game.
My first RPG as well.

Though unlike the uninformed fanboy masses, I saw how limited it was and as I played further on in the FF series I saw much betterplots, much better characters. Then i went further and played Xenogears and Xenosaga and well, FFVII was nothing more than a hair on the ass of RPGs in terms of plot and development after those games.

If it is remade, I would buy it simply to see if they decided on whether Cloud threw Seph into the pit or if Seph jumped.

Then again, they'll probably get horrible voice-actors which will detract from my enjoying the game so I guess I'll stick with the original game; which, out of the FFVII franchise, is the only thing worth a dime.

If only there were more of you. Xenogears was awesome. If you want something a little different check out Parasite Eve I &II. Sort of like Resident Evil meets Final Fantasy.
