Someone "Will Probably Do" A Final Fantasy VII Remake

Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we do this to you? Because some sick little deranged monkey keeps clanging his dented cymbals in our heads, always to the hypnotizing beat, "FFVII remake...FFVII remake..." We want to kill him but he's kind of cute in a depraved sort of way.

The idea of remaking Final Fantasy VII has been around for a very long time. In fact, it may be the longest-running rumor in video game history. The reason it always endures is because of news like this, from Square-Enix employees who never categorically deny the possibility of such a project, but instead instill false hopes in the hardcore followers. During a Final Fantasy Ring interview with Akitoshi Kawazu and Toshiyuki Rahans (producer and director for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers), the idea of a remake popped up. In fact, they were asked if "episodes VII-IX" would be remade and whether or not that would be Kawazu's next project. His response:

"No, no, no, no ... (laughs) Someone in the company will probably carry the remake of FFVII, but not me. But if someone tries to do [it], it will be a huge project. With the current technical specifications, it would be very difficult."

I assume you're all looking at the same part of that response, where he says "someone in the company will probably carry the remake of FFVII." This is especially significant because the question provided him with three possibilities for a remake - FFVII, FFVIII, and FFIX - and he specifically mentioned Cloud's adventure. On the other hand, the translation could be off just a touch, thereby producing significance where none really exists in the first place. 'sigh' Who knows? But any news like this is always big, so we must abide...the dude abides...

All i can say is, if they touch FFVll...i will never buy anything Enix again.

Leave. it. alone.

Look at the disastrous Advant Children and Crisis Core and that shiddy DMC clone one with Vincent. Absolutely sickening.

It upset a lot of hardcore fans and to pick up the entire original and mutate it? Final nail in the coffin.

I watched Advent Children and I am playing Crisis Core these days and I was a committed fan of FF7 since its first day launch...and though (in my opinion) both movie and FF7:CC don't really live up to the original game, they're just something more for us fans..and if there is a possibility to have more of those, I wouldn't say no. Plus Crisis Core is one of the best Action RPGs if not the best ever created.

You don't know me so you cannot judge me, thanx.

Crisis Core was a laughing stock because it had Final Fantasy Vll in its title.

Mad cheesy US dialog, horrible soundtrack, a storyline not many really cared about and OTT fighting that was none stop.

Unlike most sheep, i can avoid hype and just see things for what it is. MANY FFVll fans were annoyed at Enix for making such a game, never mind being mad at the fact of them cashing in on FFVlls fame all the time.

It would be disastrous to remake it based on those awful spin offs. It would be mega cheesy, OTT action scenes, fly fighting, one liners, techno soundtrack and whatever else.

The name Final Fantasy does not mean automatic good.

And im not the one misguided, if anyone, it would be the people trapped in the hype machine.

Now, instead of attacking the person writing this, how about providing opposing points on the money motivated products instead hm?

Well, just about everyone disagrees with you(exceptions of course). I won't defend the dialog, but the sound track was fine, th story was fine and the gameplay was fun.

So what do people do? Continue to swipe the poster rather than contribute opposing points, again.

Jawknee, it is not my fault you didn't understand a sentence. It meant, with such a big name in the title and with the game insulting that title...it was a laughing stock.

"Everyone disagrees with you" well, as you pointed out, that's not the case and 2ndly, is that supposed to make me go, "oh yeah, so they do. Well, i shall follow this sheep example".

I'm just not like that Jawknee.

I'm a very artistic person and love creativity and ideas. An important thing in this game is to ALWAYS stay true to the vision and idea. By putting Final Fantasy Vll in the title, you are implying that idea, yet these money creations have hardly anything in common with the Final Fantasy Vll idea, therefore discrediting and contradicting it. Why would they do that and why would these said games and "movies" all cater to the in fad and go commercial? Easy, money off of people blinded by hype and don't necessarily think beyond whats on the box.

What it is my people.

My arguments come out of love of the original idea and the protection of it, it's just a shame others who claim fandom of it don't also not want it to become dumbed down....on here at least.

You can't call something a 'laughing stock' when you're the only one laughing.

I'll agree with you that CC has some pretty cheesy dialogue (though it has been massively surpassed in the cheesiness department by Dissidia...holy crap), but the game itself was great.

By the way, I think you're looking at the original FFVII with some pretty rose-colored glasses if you don't think it had some cheesy dialogue...

It ain't just me my friend.

and no, i don't look at it with rose-coloured glasses. AT ALL. Maybe it's difficult to understand me because im speaking about ideas and art etc

Its not necessarily my fave game nor my fave Rpg. I'm just talking how these extensions are an insult to the original idea.

I'd just be repeating myself from here on out i believe so, what's said is there.

P.S. no one is angry. My Fantasy fandom, believe it or not, died off when Enix came about. I'm just protecting the way it was...but, lay off the insults please, it's just a couple of games, not me offending a person.

You say lay off the insults and yet you're calling people sheep for liking a game for its merits? Crisis Core is the only FFVII spinoff I liked. For its PSP limitations, it was heaps better than Dirge of Cerberus. As for Advent Children, are you honestly gonna say that it couldn't have fit as cutscenes in a FFVII sequel game?

Back on the talk of the remake, I find it hard to believe they would change the core game all that much. They'll clean up the mistranslations, make it prettier and maybe add some details here and there. I see no reason why we shouldn't have faith in a remake of the pivotal rpg of that generation.

That said, my vote is still for a remake of VI instead.

So just don't make it sound like everyone who who really cares about the franchise is going to agree on all those "disastrous" claims.

I just liked getting the full story, im more interested in that. As for dirge of ceberus, i loved it because it was a change of pace. Maybe i like that kind of game genre but its just me.

I am a little worried too. I liked FFVII:AC and Crisis Core. I even enjoyed Dirge of Cerberus. But I do think FFVII is almost perfect in it's old form. I would be very dissapointed if a remake went multiplat. But than again doesn't Sony own some of the rights to these older Final Fantasy's?

I'm hoping for a PSP remake, in all honesty. The thing about VII that I didn't like was how the character models looked. They looked like blocks of wood connected together. If SE did a remake that revamped the character models, made the story flow a bit better, improve some aspects of the translation, and made certain pieces of content that were inaccessible in certain parts of the game accessible again then I would be happy.

The thing about VII is that how you went about exploring is sort of anachronistic compared to now, I'm personally having a hard time reconciling that top-down view and glitzy next-gen graphics. How it played and how you explored was just very different compared to how it is done today.

I never really liked the new "extensions" to VII lately, I always thought that the stories were crap and the music was mediocre. Seriously, the stories made no friggin sense whatsoever. Plus, the huge fights where people chop buildings in half would seriously contradict what you could do in game. I mean sure Cloud can chop a building in half in the cutscenes but WHY CAN'T HE OPEN UP THIS FLIMSY DOOR? Giving the actual game the Advent treatment would be a really bad idea.

So a PSP remake which is an "enhanced" VII rather than a full-blown reimagining seems like a good idea to me.

See, whilst i agree with you, you allow me to make my points clearer.

The director of Fantasy X wanted a feel of a straight journey ala pilgrimage, which is what Final Fantasy X was about so, this involved the removal of the world map. This is fine because it's them staying true to the original idea of Final Fantasy X.

This is what i'm trying to say about the extensions. They have Final Fantasy Vll in the title but, insult the original idea, hence mine and many others frustration.

I'm only defending what we are actually talking about here, not attacking it.

The disspearance of the traditional open world maps was a dissapointment. I was hoping it would make a return in XIII due to the large Blue Ray disc but with it being confined to a DVD(effing crapbox)i'm afraid we will get the same concept as in X and XII. I miss aquiring an airship like the Highwind and Ragnorok and roaming the lands freely.

Personally, I prefer the more realistic world maps of FFX and FFT to the strangeness of the FFVII map or the pseudo-open world of FFXII, where you can run across a continent in about 15 minutes (if you avoid encounters).

I don't understand how it would be such a massive project like this guy says. They don't need to write a whole new story, just jazz up the old script. No new characters to develop, just the old ones graphically. They could even use the XIII engine. I don't know much about copyrights and things but maybe they are just sitting and waiting until any agreement with Sony dissolves so they can make it multiplat.

Like Arnold said in that killer editorial "Your system sucks" Why in hell would they just ignore the biggest ready made cash cow in gaming history?

Don't know why any agreement with Sony would be timed for 20 plus years. I don't know why but I'm starting to get the feeling Square is still loyal to Sony in some aspect. I mean, what where they supposed to do when the Xbox came out, not make any games until the PS3 came out or until it's poparity took off like It is now. I want to believe Square would keep a FFVII remake exclusive.

Or am I kidding myself?

Well with the hardware out now they could probably remake it with giving you the option of playing FF 7 with new improved graphics or just a polished version of the old school block graphics.

I enjoyed XII. It felt like World of Warcraft but with a better story, better gameplay and most importantly no monthly payments to play.

It was the most open-world FF I had played til then. Although I do miss the open-world "World" of FF VII, XII had an excellent combat system and story (but I agree with many of you the whole "licenses" thing to use your weapons wasn't a good element)

The only thing I'm disappointed about with XIII is that MS paid big money to gimp the PS3 version. I'm not so angry at MS because what they are doing is smart business (even if it is evil) but SE SHOULDN'T have taken MS's money in the first place. They should have realised that PS3 sales would sky-rocket with their console exclusivity, and STILL make an incredible looking game that took advantage of the PS3.

I blame all of video games' problems on MS. Is it just me, or did these problems and fanwars never exist before MS entered the home console market? (SNES and Genesis don't really count cos it was much friendlier competition, like Sony and Nintendo are now)

Why can't we get more RPG's like Ocarina Of Time, or Eternal Sonata where you get to play the battles not pick from a menu and watch the game play itself?

Ocarina of Time is no RPG. I don't care what anyone says.

And there will always be a semblance of strategy in turn-based that will never exist in real-time, for a variety of reasons. What I find boring is hacking 'n slashing six million times in a game and never really seeing anything new. So we all have our own preferences.

I heard of Demon's Souls was really good but didn't really look into it as to know what type of game it was, I'll have to give it a try.

Ben, you're correct about Ocarina, and I worded my question wrong earlier. I should have said "why can't we have more ACTION RPG'S" as that is the category Ocarina and Magic Knight Rayearth fall under. I believe there are 3 categories for RPG's- RPG, Action RPG and Strategy RPG. I'm not saying this is 100% true because i don't know, I'm not a hardcore RPG player, but it's what I've heard. I have Dragon Force for my Saturn (can't stand the game but kept it cause it's value is rediculas on Ebay and because I had a goal of owning all 255 US Saturn games which I achieved 3 years ago) that's concidered Strategy RPG where the game plays itself, so boring.

But, like you said, we all have our preferences, I just prefer to be in control of a game I'm playing.

Mysterio: Control is subjective. In any strategy game, when you move a unit to a certain space and then watch what happens, you had control over that unit's action...you just didn't press a button while it executed that action.

Obviously, the entire point of such games lies in the positioning of those units. And further "control" would change the entire nature of the game and would certainly detract from the depth; i.e., if you were good at the action part, even a poorly executed strategic maneuver could turn out well.

So when I play FFVII or any other turn-based RPG, actually controlling the sword slash is the last thing on my mind, while there are a dozen other factors I'd be considering that aren't always part of action/RPGs. That's just how I see things, anyway.

Ocarina of Time is classified as an action-adventure. Magic Knight Rayearth is classified as a RPG. Eternal Sonata is an action-RPG. Three different games and three different genres. Only two that closely resemble each other.

And there's various categories of RPG.
Tactical
Action
Massive Multiplayer
Roguelikes
Shooter
and probably another here or there that I can't remember offhand.

The project might be expensive to finish on a big console. I think they would also need to measure their possible losses. The input regarding these remakes I would think serve as a reminder that a rather loyal fanbase is an opportunity to make money. I don't think Square would want to cut them off cold turkey. If anything I would be satisfied if the remake was made with Crisis Core graphics, and released on the PS2/PSP.

I mean it would be all great and everything if the game had beautiful 1080p HD graphics rivaling some of the best, but I admit that would be a lot of work and would take years, and every game designer probably has their own ideas that they want to work on... Who knows whether it will happen or not? You never know, when I get my degree I may work for Square Enix and work on the remake if it happens (which could take years). If enough people want it, it'll happen (Like the Okami sequel which people said would never happen... even if it is going to the DS).

Yeah Ocarina of Time is an action-adventure game.

On to FF7. Remake and not remastered...Thank God. I'd love to see differences as opposed to the exact same game with different graphics. That way comparisons aren't made and people aren't disappointed by it. There's just something about the original thing that makes it awesome...memories maybe.

There will never be an FFVII remake, first they teased everyone with a FFVII in HD graphics, then from time to time they always revive this rumour once it died down.

If they seriously wanna do it then they probably told us something or is this just a lame way to hype a game?

cant remember which dev studio, but one that closed recently, they were working on a few FF related titles and they were apparently working on a remake of FF 7.
im sure some one will pick up what they have done and finish it off, its a much to popular series to leave hanging.
but than one could say the same thing about BLACK, or syphon filter or the getaway or driver.
such popular games.
BLACK renowned to be the best FPS ever to be made still, after several years after release.
syphon filter, well i dont need to say anything about that except its my favorite PS1 game and favorite PSP game.
that one is a no brainer, its sonys halo WTF? 3 years after release and STILL! no announcement.
the getaway and driver, again immensely popular titles back in the day.
the only true competitors to GTA, saints row gets to roll with GTA but these dont?
WTF?
the sh*t is in, and the gold plated diamonds are out?
WTF?
has this industry gone mad!

I can still do without a remake. I've played and enjoyed the original and still own the original PS and PC versions. If anything I still want to see the original Final Fantasy and FF6 remade. FF6 especially.

I'll jump into this and say that I played FF7 first and found FF8 a lot better and its my favorite RPG to date and I've played plenty of RPGs. It seems like the first game to open the doors to the rest of the series such as Ocarina of time and how it opened the doors to Majora's mask and Metal Gear Solid opened the doors to MGS 2 and MGS3. With Ocarina of Time I can understand, I think it's the best one that has come out but with Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid, I don't think they're the best after Playstation was introduced. Metal Gear is my favorite series and I've played all of them plenty of times and I think MGS4 and MGS3 are the best in the series. As far as FF I think FF7 has this hype chakra around it and it has given birth to what a lot of people are calling the best RPG ever.

I know I'm not alone when I say that I found Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne a lot more enjoyable than Final Fantasy 7.
