I changed my mind . . .

[Mercen-X]

Final Fantasy VII: the Promised Land

Better graphics, revamped CGs, corrected script, optional voice-overs, FFX-2 style ATB combat, revamped mini-games, a couple more mini-games, a few more chocobo types, corrected monster names, a way to obtain E. Skills near the end of the game when monsters that use the would normally be gone, perhaps being able to control Sephiroth during Cloud's flashbacks, and COOKIES!!!

A PS2 or PS3 release for a remake or REVISION of FF7 is obviously out of the question for both the company and the fans . . . but what if it was ported to the PSP?

Would you play or buy FF7PL, the revision, if it were ported to the PSP?

no

It would still be a matter of basically making a whole new game, which they could as easily -- and probably would -- do. In this case, they'd not only be faced with the matter of people already having the game, but with many who aren't going to buy a PSP just to play the remake, especially when the PS original would still be $20 (American) cheaper.

Any way one slices it, a Final Fantasy VII remake is a not a viable financial option for Square-Enix.


I for one wouldn't buy the thing.

I don't think I'd buy a PSP just for that one game..........especially not if it uses an atb battle system - aside from FFX-2 being total crap, the battle system alone had too much of an arcade feel. Not like FF at all.

Chicken . . . *burk!*

I admit I wouldn't buy a PSP simply for a new FF7 . . . but what if you had a better reason to buy a PSP? What if you already owned one?

I never want to see a remake of FFVII with better graphics, voice acting, etc. I wouldn't mind seeing a PORT to the PSP though.

[DJZen]

All that is mentioned above could be but a mere suggestion and we could easily get Square to at least consider it.

We could? We must then have roughly 1 million dollars to spend freely, and I would personaly rather spend that on a way to make chocolate taste even better.

[Buccura]

no

:shoot:

I second that.

[BackRoomKid]

intersting....it would need A LOT of convicing to make it even rent it though...

[The True seeD]

I wouldn't buy a new FF7 remake. Think about it, Character voices would ruin it, because YOU allready have an idea in your head of what the characters would sound like. A couple more mini-games!!!...um, I think the Gold Saucer has enough as it is. A few more chocobo types, and a way to obtain E. Skills near the end of the game would just make the game easier. I don't know about you, but I enjoy the challenge that FF7 gave me the first 5 times I played even, because there was always new things to find, and places to go. Even though I have found just about everything on FF7, I still play it through because IT'S A GRAET GAME! A remake could probably destroy the innovative features about FF7 that helped make it great. Personally I didn't like FFX2's ATB system, like crazybayman said, I felt like it had too much of an arcade game feel. My opion is leave the classics classic, sequels and spin offs are fine, but don't mess with what made the game great.

eh im not too sure i agree with you guys - i intend to buy a psp simply due to the fact they are releasing ffiii on it - i honestly dont think porting ffvii onto it wud be the worst thing ever - i find the handheld machine a great place for rpg type games - i personally found it much easier to play ffi and ffii on the gba than on the ps - if they revamped it or simply just ported it im sure i would buy it

[The True seeD]

I have nothing agianst PSPs, as a matter of fact, I'm getting one soon. I was simply saying that revamping FF7 would destroy a classic. If they ported it however, I'd be fine.

Actually, FFIII is being released on the Nintendo DS. The PSP, however, will have Crisis Core-Final Fantasy VII.

...a way to obtain E. Skills near the end of the game when monsters that use the would normally be gone

a way to obtain E. Skills near the end of the game

Just so you guys know, there is only one Enemy Skill that is not available at the end of the game. Trine is used exclusively by Materia Keeper, Stilvas, and Godo. All others, however, can still be obtained.

i wouldn't alter anything in FFVII, look how many people brought it because of the way it is...if you changed it, then you change the game completely. Although, i must admit, better graphics wouldn't go amiss, but anything else just isn't viable in any way.
All square would be doing is wasting their money...Each and every FF is supposed to be "original" or "unique", and they are...by producing a remake, then it's just not the same, people are simply not going to buy it.
