Final Fantasy VII: Really the best?

[rubicant]

I've been playing the series since about 1996 and beat FFIV when I was 6. FFIV was my first one and I borrowed it form one of my dad's friends.
Then when I got my PSX I bought FFVII. Personally, I thought it blew. Graphically, it sucked. I'd rather look at colorful 16-bit graphics than dark 32-bit garphics. Storyline wise they were about equal. The battle system sucked for FFVII. Iwould rather play FFVIII which as I've heard sucks compared to FFVII. Anyway, post here to say a bunch of crap about my opinion or if you support it, post here too.

In 1997? Yes. Now? Definitely not.

FF7 pwns all.. it is so L337!!!!! there never was and will be a better game.. I love seph...

actualy I think graphicaly obviously the new games beat this one out, but when it comes to battle system and plot I love it... plus being the first ff I ever played it has that nostalgia to it. I admit FF10 gave it a good run.. and currently plotwise.. I think Xenosaga mgiht blow it away.

good news for ya its gettin remade along with 8 the project started 3 years ago they're working on 8 and are planning to release them at the same time which i think sucks as we could of goten our hands on it last year

good news for ya its gettin remade along with 8 the

chaos: Link please? I had heard that news before, and afterwards, I heard that it had been cancelled.

[Shoden]

its in a magazine the project was never cancelled after the success of FFX millions of fans asked for remakes of previous games Square chose the most popul;ar ps1 games 7 and 8 i dunno bout 9 that was cancelled. Square decided to attempt it but after the spirits within they postponed it and it nearly became cancelled untill they decided to give it another try and how lucky are we? releases are late 2005- mid 2006 depending on how fast they work ive read the articals in 3 magazines shame i dont have a scanner though

No scanner? convienient. If VII ever gets remade it'll be part of the comilation of VII project. If its not remade with that it'll be a few years certainly. VIII getting remade is pretty unlikely and chances are slim to none. At present Square has released no plans on remaking VIII and remaking VII hasnt been officially announced but is possible with the large ammount of sequels and prequels. It would certainly be a nice way to finish off the compilation of VII. If the projects been three years in the work you'd have seen a screen shot of anyone of them by now. Which you havent. Sometime withing those three years they were cancelled.

meh yoy know Square full of suprises eg Dirge of Cerberus announced last year and the project was going on for as long as ffx2 was released. Square may want to keep us in suspense but the thing is the amount of postpones in the ff7 remake may not have given us screenshots

chaos: I won't believe it until I get some solid proof.

[Destai]

They need to advertise there games in some way. No screenshots, No interviews saying "we're making a remake". hence, no remake.

[Shoden]

theres been several interviews about it in the magazines in the UK for the PS2

PS2 world
PS2 Gamer
Gamezworld
PS2 Codebreakers
RPG Sanctum

[Shoden]

[Rednikcam]

I have just bought Final Fantasy VII on the PC off eBay. I had played it before when I was 8 on the PSX. I can honestly say the game lives up to what I remembered it being: a truely amazing and unforgettable RPG experience.
