Problem is that we've seen the "new" vision of FF7 in the Compilation, and it sucks. It never even came close to recapturing the FF7 feel. Every new character they added was garbage, the action battle systems were horrendous. Limits in Crisis Core were luck based for crying out loud.

It's 100% style and 0% substance.

The best Remake ever was the Resident Evil Remake. It gave us better graphics, better voice acting, and tweaked the mechanics. Adding a few puzzles, changing the house layout a bit, rebalancing the difficulty etc. All of these things are fine.

What isn't fine is shoehorning in new characters into iconic scenes(**** Genesis being in the reactor), ret-conning scenes to match later material, and turning a game from a turn based RPG to an Action RPG. That's BS, and a slap in the face to the original fans.

Besides guys, SE has already tried this before and the resulting product was horrendous. I speak of none other than the Lufia 2 remake...
