Interesting...how would you prefer it to look?
More like Kingdom Hearts. I'd prefer stylized and cartoony to hyper-realistic. I think it's more in keeping with the character designs, original style, and, frankly, looks better than things like this:

I'll grant you, that would probably be much more cost-effective than simply "throwing pixels at the problem."
Seriously, Sky, you wouldn't prefer this:
In Battle
Cloud in Action
Super-realistically deformed
Sephy in Action
Sephy-deformed
Super-FMV-Deformed
By the way, I also think Cloud should have different stances for different sword sizes. I think he should carry the shorter swords like Hardedge and Mythril Saber should be slung over his shoulder until he's ready to attack. The Yoshiyuki and Murasame (and hopefully they'll add a third 'cause katanas are must) should be held at his hip and he should Iaido strike on approach to the enemy. Broadswords would be wielded the typical way Cloud does.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
If you think any of those shots are attempts at photo realism, you're deluding yourself. Those are much better than anything we saw in the Tech Demo or Advent Children. Heck, they're even better than Crisis Core, which was the closest the Compilation ever got to recapturing what VII once had.Seriously, Sky, you wouldn't prefer this:
In Battle
Cloud in Action
Super-realistically deformed
Sephy in Action
Sephy-deformed

That said, the super-deformed forms need work. The faces are too detailed for super-deformed chibis.

You know, I'd be happy if they took a final pass at the script, introduced a 119 ms modulated delay to the sound mix, used KH style character models in and out of battle, bumped the resolution, framerate and animation quality, gave the characters more facial expressions and called it a day.
What say you, EoFF?

Sky, are you referring to Cloud not having the Goku-hair. Is that why you don't like the HR Cloud?

Looks like Kitase has come out to talk more about an FFVII remake - he wants it, but it's too huge of an undertaking for him personally.
“Even if I casually say I would like to do that, because it would be a huge project I would have to motivate myself to the level that I really am prepared to take on this huge responsibility,” Kitase said.
He continued: “I don’t know if those three things will happen simultaneously. It has to tick lots of very big boxes. I won’t rule out the possibility, but it would take a lot to make it happen. But should I ever take it on, it would have to be the biggest project I’ve done. My life work. So I would have to be as highly motivated as that to end up with something I’m very happy with. It’s a huge thing for me.”

I certainly understand where he's coming from, but it still doesn't rule it out at all.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
Partially. The hairstyle looks really bad the way they chose to translate it into the Compilation's looks. But the faces also have a bit of uncanny valley, especially Sephiroth's (every time I see that high-def image of Sephy walking into the fire, I wince), and I don't think that the definition and toning of the character models matches a lot of the style or tone of the original.
The fact that every change they made to the way the intro played out in the PS3 tech demo was a change for the worse didn't help, either.

Kudos to my stepbrother who linked this on EoFF's Facebook page.
Final Fantasy VII Director Says He Will Approve a Remake Only If Square Enix Does Not Make It - Play4Real
Wow. So, safe to assume that's satire!
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I would actually non-ironically like to see a non-Square developer make an FF game just to see what they'd do with it. Obsidian would naturally be my first choice
I'd much rather give it to ATLUS.I would actually non-ironically like to see a non-Square developer make an FF game just to see what they'd do with it. Obsidian would naturally be my first choice

"Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda has said that this is some of the most positive attention Square Enix has received in the last few days."
A nugget of truth in that satirical piece.
I have a feeling FFVII WILL get a remake one day, given its popularity but that day may be 10 years away xD
However IF they did go through with a remake, I'd want the same dialogue, same story, same minigames, same everything except with nice HD FFXV esque graphics. I also would want to keep the same turn based battle system but sadly that's already becoming a fossil in the rpg market these days.
