Final Fantasy VII Remake Will Be Announced In August

[Magixion]

Most of us aren't wanting the game to be like XII. We want the encounter system to be like XII, i.e. no random encounters. One can accomplish that while keeping the battle system intact. I really can't see how random encounters improves VII, or is fundamentally tied up to the game.

And I'm sorry, I would not want to have the exact game with better graphics and voice acting. That would be pure laziness from Square-Enix. I want a fully detailed world map. I want to see my enemies before I fight them. I want more backstory to the game - for both characters, places and organizations. When I walk into a town, I don't want it to consist of 8 or so buildings. I would like to see more NPCs. I would like to see Final Fantasy VII done how the developers would have liked to have done, to the smallest detail.

And it isn't that much of an ask. The main parts of the story are already written. The code for the battles, sub-games, character movements etc. is still in existence and wouldn't have to be drastically changed. The concept art is still the same.

But I still want the big heads in it. And Cloud's hair to be that amazing!

You do realize that is totally false right? Even changing the most minute detail would require entirely new code to be written. Especially if they change the battle system to not have random encounters. That would require a -lot- of coding. The old character models and movements would have to all be re-done as well. You cant use the same movements for the models from the original as you would for brand new models. The entire skeleton and rigging would have to be re-done as well as the animations to fit the new models.

For those with attention deficiency disorders, here is a summarized snippet of the general ramblings for you to ponder over - form: Basically, if you want a re-make, they cannot use any of the older coding and animations. They would have to re-do -EVERYTHING-.

knowing the technological world we live in, i be and almost expect it to be done for pc as well, if in fact it is remade

I highly doubt that. PC gaming is not nearly what it used to be. Consoles is definitely the way to go. A majority of the population play most of their games on consoles now-a-days.
