FF7 New And IMPROOVED?

[Dragoon_Kain]

I remember sittin in front of the tv waiting for commericals of FFVII to some one just so I could see the same scenes from the game over again. My dad bought me a playstation just so I could play this game. I played through the first 3 hours of the game and didnt have a memory card to save the game on. This game was a HUGE step forward in comparison to the previous FF games. I used to look at the screen and be amazed that those graphics were available in video games. nowadays I expect the games to look good. It doesnt have to, but noone is gonna release an rpg that aint "pretty". I still play this game, just to be reminded of how I felt back then. I wouldnt mind seein the graphics redone, but I dont think if they did, it would hold the same value to the people that waited for those stores to open so they could run in a grab the first copy off the shelf.

Leave they way it is. At least for now. I still like feelin like a kid when I play that game. To remake it would take that joy away from me.

Preach it...

It'd be nice, but it wouldn't hold the same value like you said. The remakes of the originals were good, even though I had everyone of 'em. But trying to remake a classic just doesn't seem like it'd turn out the way we'd all want it too; someone would find something to complain about because it wasn't prefect or something like that.

I agree with the above post. FFs post VII suck. They're too into graphics and all that. I know I really could give two poops about how a game looks. What makes the game is the story and characters.

Oh man, the irony......

When FFVII came out, people were all like "OMFG TEH GRAPHIX R GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!111". Then a little while (read, 2 months after its initial US release) later, people started complaining that it was all style and no substance. Pretty graphics and not much else. That it coulda easily been made as a 2D game. That it just didn't have that Final Fantasy feel to it, and shoulda been called something else, or not been made at all. People were saying things like "Square is selling out" and "This marks the end of the FF series, it's going to die in the next couple of years". In fact, just look at the back of your FFVII box. It proclaims that it's graphically leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.

Plus, it was the first game Square did that had CG, so they were almost completely ignorant in how to do it. So it's no surprise that the graphics are getting better over time, it's because they have had experience with it. And saying every FF after VII was bad is a lie. FFVIII, despite its weak character development, was great. FFIX was rated high by almost every game magazine; great graphics, and good plot. FFX incredible graphics, many people still play it, that's way its always in the top 10 on GameFAQs. Saying Square is selling out for graphics only is a very hastey generalization, it's just that they have become more experience with CG, so they games are gonna look better. A game can still be incredible despite it having crappy/outstanding graphics.

People always find something to complain about, don't you agree?

Thats the thing I don't liek the new games at all. Tactics were good and so was CC. But the main FFs since 7 have been lacking in story and a good plot.

i was turned on to RPGs by FFVII, i actually never heard the hype before it came out...i went to toys r us and it was number one so i bought it. i was so happy with it i bought FFVIII, FFIX, and FFX. theyre all great, theres no doubt. but they never made me feel the same way FFVII did. theyre all great in there own way.

No it wasn't, they made Tobal No. 1 before they made FFVII. Tobal, however, had really insanely good graphics for a PS1 3D fighting game, especially when you consider that it was one of the first wave of PS1 titles.

i actually enjoy the way ff7 is.. i dont want it remade, it would ruin the classic-ness of the game... everything is just perfect!

i could play ff7 over and over and never get bored with such a good game!

Touché! I guess I meant RPG. Should've been a bit more specific. :rolleyes2

Why would genre matter when concerning CG experience? Also, Square made a game that was never released to the public before they did Tobal No. 1. It was made only for their high-end CG systems and used characters from FF6 made completely in 3D. I'm sure you can find screens of this somewhere, and the graphics on it were bangin'.
