I do, ill buy doc, but its not the same thing, its not going to convey the same feelings, I was not dissing the game I was just saying that its not going to be like the original (not just the genre) and I'm not having a go at square, I love the company, so don’t twist my meaning. But it’s like every time FF7 is mentioned by square it’s never in the context that MOST people want. Put your hand up if you would love a remake? Don’t have a go at me, tell me, honestly, if you enjoyed FF7 would u not also enjoy a remake with nice eye-candy and character voices? I would, because it would do it justice. FF7 deserves a face lift if any game ever did.

Whether you spit or swallow that’s what I think.
I basically agree with most of what you say, except that I don't think a 'face-lift' is really necessary. They'd spend a lot of time and money simply making the game look better; a lot of fans would resent Square expecting them to buy the same game all over again.
When they decided to make AC and DoC, I'm sure they paid a lot of attention to what the fans were asking for Sure, not everyone's going to like their ideas, but they wouldn't do something that the majority of people were against.
