@LovesJapanManga: Well, technically, it is not a PS exclusive. It did come out on the PC before. Along with FF8.

@Sal Romano: I feel the same way. I wouldn’t really mind if they added to the story just to make it a little more descriptive but don’t cut out anything. I really would just be happy if they remade the game using the latest technology.

@Luccie85: Final Fantasy XIII, 9/10 on GEMATSU Review! Praised game, despite some failures.

One thing Square did more than right with FF XIII was the completely fresh way to fight.

A FF VII remake should feel new.

@mateuspradosousa: I’m not evil. Final Fantasy XIII-2 maybe better but only better than XIII because they share the same elements that mean more boxes map drama char and more teleporting points. I love XIII battle system, Lightning & Fang but you know 62 quests exactly the same, game play : go talk go movie and go crying go movie and … yeah go movie final boss no turn back (I only press the X button in first 6 chaps in the game). AN EMPTY GAME WITH NO SOUL! WHY ? the good thing SquareEnix done until now is delete.If they want their games became more WRPG why don’t add a macho like Nier and keep everything else.

@Luccie85: It’s a conspiracy of turning 7 into an WRPG…so that Occident fans will li-….wait what?

@Sal Romano: If they actually change it, it will probably be a retcon of plot lines for Crisis Core and Co. Though, they will probably bombarded with shitstorm if they do.

So of course they will “delete things, add elements”
They want to make FFVII, the most popular FF to date, become a game of Square Enix and not just Squaresoft in some sense.

@rockman29: You, sir, deserve a cookie. (Though would have preferred giving you MML3 if I have $20M)

i can honestly say I don’t care what they choose to do to FFVII for a remake. FFVII before will be FFVII before, FFVII remake will be FFVII remake. They’re different games, if you want the same thing, play the same game again. it’s simple right? it’s even on psn.

for me, ff3 and ff4 were great. but the remakes, i really appreciated more, and found that I liked them better than the original.

@Zero: yes

@Luccie85: You’re so evil! Final Fantasy XIII-2 will leave you in silent …

“When we play the games we made years ago, sometimes we think ‘oh, that is not really cool’ or ‘that probably should have been a bit better than that’ and that sort of thing.”

This is mostly in response to making a game, not playing classic games. So don’t misunderstand.

It’s not just not him, look at all the remakes or reboots of popular old franchises or games.

They all change things up, and sometimes the gameplay even switches to something completely different.

It’s quite uncommon for them to be exact replicas of what we remember. And quick HD ports and stuff are not the same as a remake.

This should come as no surprise to anyone. That one of the creators doesn’t want to make the same game over again.

As for FF7, I think it still has life in it, and I have always believed a sequel to be more likely than a remake.

This just makes it all the more likely.

Oh well PS4 here I come :)

@mateuspradosousa: lol George Lucas was also the director of the original Star Wars films and we all know what happened with the new ones…
Just saying a director can lose touch with their original vision, which is what a lot of FF fans think of Kitase.

@rockman29: The original game is up on PSN for anyone to grab, I don’t really see a reason for a remake, more so when the original game is as good as it gets.

Some people need to drop the whole “I don’t play games which do not feature HD graphics and flashy battles” thingie and give it a try.

/being emotional about this whola matter.
