Do You Want to See an FFVII remake?

[Colonel Angus]

When they remade X/X-2 did they actually make changes, or just make it in HD? I think that's what they'll do to VII. Mayyybee add a bonus dungeon/boss, but nothing that would take away from the story.

[Mercen-X]

What does HD really even mean? When I watch the HD videos of X, I have no idea wtf I'm looking at. It looks the same to me.

It means $60 more dollars in Squenix's pocket.

I was the same but when I watch them side by side the difference is definitely notable

[NeoCracker]

I think it would be great, and I'd probably get it day one, even though I rank FF VII fairly low on the FF list as many of you know.

There are enough places that would look wonderful in HD I think, most noticably Midgar and the Mountains at clouds home town, I forget the name of the top of my ehad.

VA's I'd be perfectly fine with, especially if they get Blum back in to do Vincent.

I'd like to see some adjustments to the characters limit breaks though, as most of them amount to more then damage. (Vincent and Aerith exceptions of course). Give me some more variation, and variation that is actually useful. It would help to differentiate the characters more.

Fix up the script, except for the occasional line like "This Guy are Sick" which are pretty rad.

I actaully think FF VII may be the FF that has the most to gain from a remake.

[Tigmafuzz]

And probably also the most to lose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's what I think: Tifa's should remain the same, Aerith's too. Cloud's should be more like Auron's and have an effect on the enemies' stats. The Cross-Slash's default "paralyze" can stay as well as Finishing Touch's "remove". I think that Clim Hazzard should do some kind of defense break or something. I don't about his others.
Update the look of Vincent's transformations. I don't care what other fans say, I never liked the generic look of Limits. I thought he was transforming into enemy characters like the warriors of Wutai Pagoda do given that Galian looks like a Behemoth on hind legs and then there's Death GIGAS. I definitely think their physical attacks should have some kind of effect and Hellmasker's Massacre should be a multiple damage attack.
Make the Big Shot and Mind Blow better differentiated. A shift in color does not a new attack make (the same could be said of Sled Fang and Blood Fang). Perhaps, by leveling and obtaining higher level LIMITs, the lower level limits can be enhanced. Make Big Shot deal a "Power Break" and Mind Blow dole out a "Magic Break". Hammerblow sure looks like a physical attack to me, so why doesn't it do damage? Maybe Satellite Beam should deal out a random paralyzed status.
Cid's Boost Jump and Hyper Jump should be real Jumps where he disappears from the screen, the latter still be a aoe. Dragon Dive would have him randomly drop in to attack and then jump away again, allowing the other characters to take their turns until he has struck 6 times.

But I don't know. What kind of variation do you think would be useful?

I think the scene where we see "This guy are sick" should have the line said by some kid lingering near the guy's place. That way it would be an Easter egg for those familiar with the original game and the script would technically still be fixed because kid's typically have no idea what grammar is.

[Mo-Nercy]

No. Because there's no way everyone that wants it will be satisfied with it. It's impossible for any remake to capture the sort of experience we all had of the game when we first played it.

Think about all the things the fanboys/girls could potentially hate on - the revamped music, the new character designs, the more 'action-oriented' battle system, the fact that Barret and Cid have to be much more mild-mannered with voice-acting...

SE has absolutely nothing to gain and a whole generation of FF fans to lose with a FF7 remake.

[Mercen-X]

Most remakes (whether for games or movies) are just forced on us with no voice from the fanbase ever even at wanting one. Of course the fans will be happy this. Because they actually asked for this remake.

I quite like your premise for Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris.

Perhaps with Red XIII, since none of his limits hit as hard as some of your other characters anyway, perhaps every limit he fires off he starts giving himself various buffs? Like his first couple limit breaks he gives himself eithelf Shell or Protect, depending on which one. Second two grants himself Haste or Regen. Third ones a STR or MAG buff. Final Limit Break perhaps he grants himself all of them? Mind you this is in addition to the normal attacks against the enemy.

[Mercen-X]

Well, Lunatic High already grants Haste and Howling Moon grants that and Berserk (you can cure Berserk or avoid it by equipping him with an accessory). I think Blood Fang should grant a Power buff (or maybe curse type where his attacks are strengthened but he takes damage when he attacks).

Another thing about limits. I think that you should be able to reset the level of limits you're using mid-battle. It'd be convenient for those who want to avoid certain skills in battle like Red XIII's Earth Rave which a fire-elemental attack that can heal Fire-elemental monsters. It's less convenient than simply having all of the limits displayed on screen at once, but it's also less clutter.

LEVEL 4!
I think that acquiring Level 4 should be more interesting than acquiring a manual. I envision a top-score trophy in the Battle Arena still called Omnislash but serving as a Key Item that doesn't vanish from your inventory. Instead, acquiring the necessary points to earn it would set an automatic event in place where Cloud must face a Black Cloak in battle who turns out to be Sephiroth (clone). Winning gets Cloud the Masamune (replica) and the Omnislash limit break which he'll automatically use to defeat the Black Cloak. This will alter the very end of the game where normally you'd use Omnislash even if you had never acquired it. In this case, Cloud will use a new version of the Omnislash that was never available throughout the game. The Omnislash Battle Trophy would be given to the party automatically (at least preferably, otherwise you may forget). It would be great if you could fight machinations of Genesis and Angeal in Battle Arena and win replicas of their swords (of course, Angeal just uses a standard-issue sword) which Cloud could actually use.

I would still like to see Tifa have a flashback to learning from Zangan and failing repeatedly to learn the Final Heaven.

I would like to see a last conversation between Vincent and Lucrecia before he acquires Death Penalty and Chaos showing a new flashback that shows Chaos' original form (the one seen in the original game) before Lucrecia made it a part of Vincent. Rather than acquiring an item that enables this ability, I think Vincent should black out and awaken as Chaos (in neo-polygon form, like a Chibi-Chaos). Then he'll examine the Death Penalty as the scene closes and fades to black.

Also the battle with Lost Number should not be a requirement for recruiting Vincent. I think it should be battled later when Nanaki is ready and it should be a Gi fight.

Yuffie's All Creation should become available for use during her fight against Godo.

I think Cait Sith should have two more Limits. I thought up a Roulette wheel full of Buffs, Debuffs, Elemental attacks, Heals, Steals, Throws, a physical attack, and a Death attack which would each randomly affect a single character. I imagine Cait Sith's superior version of Heal would be like Angel Wings and can heal a character or resurrect a fallen character and his superior version of Throw would allow him to throw replicas of the weapons you have stocked but still deal close to the same damage. The item thrown (including Gil) would be random as well and he could even throw materia which would deal damage equivalent to its power and context (i.e. elemental damage, status damage, 2-4 hits for 2x-Cut). Steal would at times do random damage but if the random character selected was a party member, you'd get the message "What are you doing?"
As for his Level 4 limit, I thought up Black Cat. Instead of just growing big with the Moogle, Cait transforms into a black panther who sits and cleans itself (licking its paw and rubbing its head). The enemies will be put in Darkness status. While Cait Sith in his panther form, he can't be attacked even if both ancillary characters go down, but if he chooses to attack, the Limit will cease and things will return to normal. He can take other actions without affecting the limit though.

[LunarWeaver]

I'd play it if it ever happened. I'd accept what changes they made or didn't make. It could be fun. If it doesn't, I'm hardly hung up on the game anymore. It's been seventeen years. If you can still make a passionate speech for or against this game, you have too many feelings in your face.

[Newmani]

Would I want to see a FFVII remake? Depending on how well they did it I'd even buy a PS4 just to play it.

But they'd have to make very few changes besides upping the graphics and adding in those voice overs we love so much. An HD remake basically is the remake I'd want.

If I had a choice of who Square hired to remake the game I'd pick those guys who remade Ocarina of Time for the 3DS. They even kept the glitches. Seriously can we hire those guys?
