Over the past few months we have heard all the rumors of the impending Final Fantasy VII announcement from Square-Enix. It seems that the ancient rumor of a remake for the PS3 has now resurfaced.
There has been a huge amount of news covering all the information about the game, but it seems that someone has looked at it from another perspective. PSX Extreme has been looking into all the different opinions as to whether there should be a remake, sequel or spin-off.
It is also rumoured that Final Fantasy VII-2 will be coming to the Xbox 360, so will not just be exclusive to the PS3. It seems for this game to prove popular; it is needed on both consoles.
Square-Enix has said that for the FFVII remake to prove popular, the entire original team needs to get back together. PSX Extreme does not believe that this is needed; they said that it was not needed for the prequel.
Do you think that Final Fantasy VII-2 remake is needed, also what is all the fuss anyway?

i think a remake would be great, but everyone is only talking about the graphics…. they’re not taking into consideration that mebbie the fighting would be different.my friend said he would only buy it if the fighting style stayed stationary turn based which in my opinion would be a waste the graphics. and it would be nice to have VOICES. and as for the sequel it could take take place long after crisis core and mebbie an additional year after dirge of cerberus. it would of course feature Genesis as the main villian because the of the whole secret ending in dirge of cerberus. or mebbie by some magical miracle Angeal would come back with Zack, and Sephiroth refusing to be only a memory makes his final appearance, then Zack and Angeal fight Genesis and Cloud takes on Sephiroth. seems retarded mebbie but i wouldnt put it past them.. i would still buy it tho…
I think a remake would be a good idea.
the sad truth is that sequels are never as good as their predecessors.
I’m telling you, FFX was just as good a game as FFVII. and i was dying to get my hands on X-2. but it was probably the worst game i have ever played. i was soooo disappointed. i remember thinking that if this was how SQUARE ENIX was going to make games that the FF series was doomed. I believe the ff7 series is just too good to risk. I have played CrisisCore and it is absolutely beautiful.
all i’m saying is dont push it too far.
Guys,
Think. It does not have to be a remake. I watched AC two times, first time I was disappointed. Second time it rocked.
Expectations were extremely high first time around.
What if - A BIG WHAT IF - Square produced a new story with the same characters years ahead facing a newer enemy?
Fuck sakes, no one whines about Batman and Spiderman facing new foes and guess what - WE LOVE BOTH.
I reckon Square do not have the passion for a new story involving the FF7 crew OR they do not think they can peak the current one - which is hard with Aeris’s death.
look, ffVII is one of my favorite games (as i’m sure it is for anyone viewing this page) After playing (and loving) FFX and seeing how crappy and disappointing X-2 was I feel a sequel is a poor idea. Over the past few years, Square-Enix has strayed from their normal path and a sequel to VII set up like FFXII would be very annoying. If they can cook up an epic sequel story and keep it interesting i might consider picking it up… maybe. To risk ruining such a good thing is dumb though, plus there is almost no way to keep aeris involved.
Now a remake would be awesome! I’m all for it. If they keep it exactly the same with upgraded graphics i would be happy. It would be cool if they added another WEAPON in though, or maybe let us fight the diamond weapon? who knows…
Someday i would honestly like to see FFI - FF8 remade 9 is fine how it is (very impressive for a ps1 game) Even though the original FF’s get some of their charm from the 2-d graphics, it’d still be fun to have remakes. just a thought.
ff7 is by far the best in the series and if they are gonna make a full new relase from what i just read they better bring bak the whole gang it wouldnt be right, just cloud an proly barret and tiffa would be wrong if this is relased it better have vincent, red, cait, tiffa, barret, cid, and atleast some kinda of memory of aeris.
i agree too there should be a remake before a sequeal ,the sequel should be about JENOVA COMING ALIVE and cloud has 2 fight the memory seporoth and his beloved mother it would be the perfect ending too final fantasy 7,also they did riun finalfantasy 10 image with that sad sad excuse for a game hop[efully they will do a proper remake of ff 10 or spinoff but this will all cost a shit load of money btw so for the triple a square games we have too be patient and wait for annocenments from the horses mouth
it would be totally amazing if they made the re-make of ff7.
but if they didn’t go EXACTLY like the original word for word. then it will totally suck. and i will hate it forever.
it needs to be just like the original(with advent voice actors)and i belibve it will be total a sucsess
