No, I've played the game on the PS3's emulator and my eyes were fully capable of seeing that the title looks worse than it originally did, and on an HDTV it's almost abysmal. But on the PSP, probably mostly because of the smaller screen, the game looks much better than it even did originally. I think a handheld also provided a better platform for it because the expectations of one of those games, and it hits that sweet spot for PSP games that look good on the sytem, but don't try so hard that performance suffers. It's great.

As far as which route the remake goes, Wolf & I have been down this road before, but as far as me, I'm not the game developer, I'm not getting paid a salary to figure this stuff out and make it good, obviously I have a preference but I expect Square to figure this out for themselves and make a good product. I'm not proclaiming whether or not "I'll allow" them to make a version, I would probably be happiest if they went a route I didn't expect and make it great. Preferrably with Vita's front and rear cameras, touch pads, and GPS please! Haha, j/k, but seriously, it would just be my preference to leave the compilation stuff out, I think it was pretty bad overall, but especially in relation to how it dilutes the original game, and I wouldn't say "most fans" liked it because I don't know the numbers but I can't believe it had a deep penetration of FFVII players.
