I'm sure Square's announcement will be a full-scale production of Shakespeare's play "Much Ado about Nothing".

They're busy on XIII, they're busy on Versus XIII, they've got plenty of other projects going on, and they're going to bring in the original crew and remake VII? Yeah, right. Probably going to be chocobo racing for one's phone, or something stupid.

If they did have a remake, I agree with the suggestion that no story events be changed (with the exception of fixing all the translation errors), but that they should fill out the story more. I also think the battle system should move away from random battles. Materia and the like obviously must be retained, but perhaps materia could be a sharper double-edged sword. So, that it does make a significant difference when you equip someone with a piece of high-powered Magic or Summon materia.

And they would have to be really careful with who they choose to do the voice-acting.
