The Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Yay or Nay?

[Vincent Valentine]

(Since this doesn't pertain to any one specific game, it seemed more suitable in here. If a staff member deems it the wrong place, my apologies!)

Here's a debate that always gets the blood flowing.

Only a few years ago, the idea of a return to the Final Fantasy VII universe probably completely incomprehensible to the majority to us. For some it was just a decent dream, and for others not returning the world of Final Fantasy VII was the way it should be.

Of course, Square Enix ended up coming out with an announcement that shocked all of us at the time - their plans for the creation of a FFVII sequel movie. Some of us whooped for joys. The rest of us cringed our teeth and waited with nervousness.

Of course, then came the announcments of Before Crisis, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, and Last Order. The fanboy whooping reached ear popping levels, and the cries of distraught old fans echoed in the shadows of the darkest corners of the internet, heard by none except those who could spell and use proper grammar...

:laughing:

It's fairly clear anywhere you look that opinions on the Final Fantasy VII Compilation are very, very mixed by the fans.

Simple put... what are yours?

This belongs to FFVII Forum?

Yay! I hope there's a sequel in PS3.

[DeathKnight]

Nay! FFVII is overrated.

[Elpizo]

Nay. FF VII is good, but nothing oh so special that it would deserve all these sequels and prequels.

[DJZen]

Meh, I suppose I'd have to care about FFVII to have an opinion on this...

I hear this somewhere...SE wants to make a prequel about Heidegger.

[Hayabusa]

Or you could stop thinking it's a big deal or anything to discuss. FFVII is apart of the series, doesn't matter if you or anyone for that matter likes it or dislikes it. It doesn't matter if I like it or not. It doesn't make it bad, it doesn't make it good.

[Ichimonji]

I personally don't care what they do. They can keep making spin-offs, or discontinue the series, I don't mind. I'll buying whatever they throw out either way.

[Slade]

Nay. I didn't mind the sequel, it was actually rather good, but i'm deadly against the milking of FFVII, wether the spinoffs turn out to be good games or not.

[Xurts]

Agreed. One sequel is fine, but doing the whole 4 sequels/prequels is going too far. Square is making FF7 the Mario of the FF series. That is a bad thing.

[Aralith]

Yay. I for one wanted them to return to the FFVII universe. Of course, I didn't play it way back when like most of you probably did. Truthfully, I didn't start playing it until early 2005, and at that point the stuff about the sequels was starting to come out, and I leaped for joy because I wanted so much more of VII. I'm sure there are die-hard fan out there that thought this in '97 but then realized that one game is the way it should be, but since that was not how it was with me, I'm not entirely certain if my opinion is entirely valid in this thread.

[Nominus Experse]

A mixture of yay and nay. It seems Square may be... milking the entire FFVII universe to extremes that I find a little unsettling. As someone made mention of, it seems Square is attempting to create a Mario out of FFVII, which bothers me.

However, I would very much enjoy a remake for FFVII, if it was to come out, simply for the improved graphics.

Yet I must make note that such a thing would basically require all of Square to make the game from scratch since it will have to be updated so much, meaning that Square will be making another game... but not really. I'd rather have a new Final Fantasy than an old one revisited, put it that way.

I'm not entirely certain if my opinion is entirely valid in this thread.

And Aralith, I would think that your opinion would mean something, for it was never specified as asking only 'veteran' FFVII gamers. And really, aren't we all slightly biased one way or another, no matter how hard we try not to be?

I think a remake of FF7 would be great. It would be a MUCH better idea than making all of these spinoffs.

[Eminem's_No.1_Fan]

I think its a great idea they should make one for 8 as well, and maybe even 9
