Sooo an FFVII Remake, What do you guys think?

**Taye1** · 07-09-2011 11:47 PM

I was trolling around Youtube and google and stumbled upon this. I recently started playing FFVII after I found my bro's mint copy packaged away. Playing it again on PS3 with a lil' remastering brought back the memories and countless hours of enjoyable gameplay. Then I saw this on Youtube

Fine I'm probably a slowpoke but I wanted to discuss it more(AND I SEARCHED FIRST BEFORE POSTING.). Ok so the FFVII we know is looooooong and we want graphics like Advent Children, but who thinks it's possible and can SquareSoft (Or rather Square Enix now) replicate such a thing? I'm thinking it would take ages to do and we'll end up like GT5 but rather they take their time doing it to make it proper rather than doing a slap-dash job. I would totally buy this instantly if it came out, but what do you guys think?

If I remember correctly the video was actually made to demonstrate what kind of graphics a PS3 could put out. Not to mention this video itself is actually kinda old.

Edit: And the video even calls itself a tech demo, which just shows what things could look like.

^^^ Yeah but still think about it. At the time the oakes who were making games were using a small percentage of the PS3's power capabilities. Now if we thought that was good at the time then they should do it. It even caused an uproar and now Square Enix is sitting on a goldmine idea. Even though it was a demo vid, it sparked something.

I'd rather see an VIII remake myself, but the VII one is bound to happen eventually and when it dose I'll buy it.

**Taye1** · 07-10-2011 12:57 AM

^^^^ They'll Eventually do both is what I'm hoping. I also found FF8 in the package but I need to buffer the discs. Enjoyed it a lil' but I'll play it after FF7. Got only one week of school holidays left so yeah I'm trying to cram in as much gaming time as possible.

I think FF7-9 Would make good remakes but Square Enix must really sit down and think.

Also if they do this then they'll attract new people as well. I mean take The 3rd Birthday for example: I never even knew about Parasite Eve till I started playing that. Sure it sounds like diff thing but how I got into it is the key factor in this. Remake the game BUT do it PROPERLY,then they attract new people.

there's no point in even thinking about a remake until they anounce it. There have been rumors of a remake since the ps2 came out.

I'm tired of misleading threads about the matter, is what I think about it.

It's the way of the world, because all of the people who weren't coherent enough to see the TECH DEMO come across it Youtube, and then freak out

It'll come some day, most likely when no one cares anymore :/

However, they said it would take a very large team over five years to do it, although I sorta don't buy it, considering the game has already been mapped out - they don't even need to worry about the conceptual stages, which is usually a very long and involved part of development.

Didn't they say it'd take forever due to the pre-rendered backgrounds?

Links? Source? Just sounds like idle speculation.

That one turned out to be a fake a long time ago.

No no, the only actual information we have so far is Wada's words during the Japan Expo in France. Many people interviewed him and his reponse was always the same.

Maybe for 2017.
