I went for remakes cos like most people out there, whether they're saying it out loud or not, I would really like to see a remake of FF7. I think it is definately in the pipeline, what with all the sequels and prequels and requels that have cropped up. Players are going to want to experience the original as they are experiencing the spin-offs. Hopefully if there is a remake it will be as close to the original as possible. I'm so glad FF4 and other older games are being remade for the DS cos it allows you to re-experience the magic without being pointed and laughed at
And about FF8's graphics being able to pass today....well...I was playing 8 the other day and my flatmates were teasing me cos Squall's face goes all lopsided when the screen changes. So yeah...remakes for me. After playing the abysmal XII I'm over new titles.
