WHY! Why God WHY!??

[Polaris]

The story is really great...

[Shoden]

im up to Nibelheim in ff7 and ive enjoyed it so far but all those censors where bad, the music is brilliant but i prefer 8s Cloud is better than Squall as he has a better history and is more social but Squall didnt go schizofrenic (or did he?) the Materia system was alot better as it was it was fun instead of junctioning which was all automated practically whilst the Materia system is easier and more manual so you can have fun with it and level up. 8 is my favourite as it had something that got me addicted to it but 7 sadly has more glitches in it but has a way better story and character evolution than 8 it was aimed more to teens except the ~!$% thing, really square should concentrate on getting the game to be more opened to teens unlike 9 and 10 with annoying chars such as Steiner, Zidane, Tidus, Yuna and Wakka. (apologies to FFX char worshippers) since the loner nature was better plus with most modern ffs the main chars are usually 17.

ive only started 7 so im gonna need to keep going to see why people love 7 so much.

can't wait for the PS2 release as it will have stunning graphics and cleaned up MIDI music as the PS2 can handle alot more than its predecessor the PS one

What do you mean "the pS2" release? Square hasn't even announced that they are remaking ff7.

This has been circulating through the industry for a while, but nothing has yet been confirmed.

Where's the "I'm not addicted to this game because it's an overrated pile of medicocrity" option?

Albedo:

chaos: As well...

Your damn right it's over-rated!

But you do have to admit, it does have some redeeming qualities.

chaos: And all those qualities, I believe, are over recognized. Some people complain on how people shouldn't turn away from FFVII because of the (somwhat) sub-par graphics, yet, those same people are seen shunning FFVI, and the other 2d predeccesors.

Rubedo: If those games were actually played a lot more, then I wouldn't mind all of the praising. But right now, I find FFVII VERY overrated.

Trowa: The thing that gets to most is: Sephiroth. "The perfect villan- oooh" and "He's evil, and has pretty boy hair ". He isn't even present most of the time, and him "going evil" was nothing big. "OMFG him and Cloud wer friends b4 but now their not and their gonna fight OMFG" got annoying too.

i voted 4 the music cos i hated the game

[Shoden]

errrrrr they have the remake is not complte till summer this year thats what it said in PS2 world a magazine i get. rumours are 7 will be done first and if its succesfull 8 and 9 will be done, they had an interview with Squaresoft

[GooeyToast]

Well, I haven't heard anything related that, but if they are planning to re-release it, it better not be a re-hash of the first game. It should have better graphics, better sounding music, analog control, and definetly some extra features (like maybe a preview of AC & CC).

I'm still not sure whether or not it should have VO, because since there was none in the original game, it put more emphasis on the music as opposed to the VO (that's probably why ff10's music wasn't so great) and if there was VO, they might consentrate more on that than the music (which was one of the reasons I loved the game so much).

[Shoden]

it will just be ff7 but with FFX quality with voice overs and major major graphic improvements.

[lord shishio]

Yah, dude, but I havn't heard any news since...... quite a few years ago in OPM

[Shoden]

well you know square takes them a long time to do the finishing touches take Final Fantasy X for example

[lord shishio]

I suppose the longer it takes, the better it will be

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

I don't think there are any news of them working on the remake, yet. Will they ever make a remake of FFVII? I hope so.

But I hope they don't totally improve it while destroying the gameplay. If they remake it, they're pretty good at not ruining it. FFVI on FFA was not turned into a PS game, graphics or soundwise, and I'm glad they didn't, after I grew to love the game. (Although, I would have liked if they put voices in the opera scene.)

But if it's exactly the same, I won't get it.

I don't think there is any reason to re-release it, due to the original getting re-released, I think. Like, on Playstation Platinum? Add that to the fact that the PS2 utulised backward compatibility. It's not that hard to get the original game, unlike all the previous FF's on the ancient NES and SNES (hence, those were all rereleased (III on DD)).

[Gregoriev]

if they just improve the graphics while keeping the entire game itself exactly the way it was (maybe adding in a bunch of awsome side quests) or something) then it will cause another final fantasy boom just like it did back in the day.

[lord shishio]

I'd probably buy it if it comes out.

[Del Murder]

I thought about it and the story only keeps me interested for the first playthrough, so that has nothing to do with it. I play it over and over again for the great gameplay and sidequests. Square usually includes an innovative level up system with their games and it is fun to try it again.
