» wait a minute.........
Don't trow any towel right now....Just wait for TGS 07. I think we might get a surprise.
Do you really think that someone can make a tech demo of FF7 and didn't think of making the remake. After they see how awesome it was... After they remake all the previous ones... After every RPG Gamers know that FF7 is the greatest RPG of all time...?
Well maybe after they see how hard it is to program for PS3 ;( they change there minds. But.... Ps2 was even hard at that time and they manage to put out FFX one year after the launch.. ;)

Think about it... A part two on an FF7 game would pick up more sales than any other sequel I could ever imagine.
Alas, Square is too busy with other projects... It's a shame they waste time with other stuff. They managed to put out a questionable sequel to Final Fansy X, why not (an actually GOOD) a sequel to Final Fantasy VII? Among my favorite games of all time.

» Leaked News!!!!
After a trading of e-mails with Square Enix's representative of the US I got enough information to say that this is actually true and there will be no upcoming FF7 remake. Yet, he revealed something he didn't reveal to QJ, that they are actually thinking of making a FF7 remake in the distant future that could be available in the Playstation Network Store. He told me a retail remake of the game was very unlikely (and didn't tell me how marking it as undiclosed information) but that a remake for Playstation Store download could be a possibility. He also said that this could even depend on the success with Warhawk.

Take FF X-2 for instance. It sucked.
A remake/ sequel/ movie to FF VIII would be sweet. I don't see what all the hype about FF VII is about.

How many time do they have to say that there will be no remake of this game? People just don't seem to get it, and yes Aeris is dead. There seems to be just as many people that believe she will come back as they do that Elvis is still alive. Just let it go people it's over time to move on it's just a game, and an old one at that.

FFVII was a masterpiece in its time. Yes, it is the golden standard by which all RPGs are measured. The game also spearheaded RPGs onto the gaming map. With that said, why should they remake it? Why should they risk bombing one of the greatest games of all time?

Well for one thing, there's probably enough blind fanboys out there to push the sales past a few million despite it being a total bomb.
So whatever they do, I reckon they can scavenge a profit out of it. Better than a few spin-offs they've made, (Dirge of Cerebrus I'm looking at you)

I've overrated seriously probably more than any stand alone game or part of a franchise. Sony marketed definitely too well in the day and created a lot of nostalgic blind allegiance to a very mediocre formatted RPG. Not a bad game, just honestly no more stand out than any of the other FFs, Dragon Quest/Warriors, etc.

» so true
The more the merrier!
But in all honesty looking to the future, when we are @ PS5 (2 systems ahead of PS3) will we be asking for remakes of FFX FFX-2 FFXII or FFXIII?
Something just tells me we wont be, they seem to be gearing their games towards being flashy and pretty instead of having a really nice story line.
Dont get me wrong, I love graphics, but I believe in the Final Fantasy series storyline should come first. FF7 has proven to have an awesome storyline, so now it just seems logical that making it pretty as well would + the perfect game no? :o

» PS3?
Na, not got anything against the thing, but I'd rather it wasn't even a remade for a console at all actually. It should be done for a handheld.
Doubt that'll ever happen, but it'd be great if it did. Got both so I wouldn't be left without, whichever it came out for, but personally, I think it would work better on the DS, or whatever the next gen version is. Turn based RPGs work too well with the touch screen, and it'd be a small, overlooked feature, but personally I'd love for it to have a drag and drop UI for materia. I wouldn't want it on the PSP so much because the games on that thing have much longer loading times, and I hate waiting, just for data to load.

i don't mind loading times, dragging and dropping would be pretty good too, but for ffvii to have another huge impact on the next gen gamers, voice overs, graphics, and great battle scene will leave a bigger impact.
u cant fit all that in a cartridge, psp is the only way to fit all that in, i'm not a fanboy i also have both the ds lite and now a psp slim

» Hmmm....
How old are you? Seriously?
If you ever played Final Fantasy VI (Yes... the game made right before VII) you would realize that Final Fantasy VII is a cheap ripoff of VI. They both hae way too much in common, even to the point where each villain was "created", then went crazy, then wanted to become a "God" of sorts and ultimately destroy everything.
I think you need to play a few more games before declaring anything being one of the Best all time.
Zelda : OoT blows it away as well.

Here is a lesson for those who don't speak Japanese.
In Japan, the Japanese pronounce the letters "th" as "s" and this is the cause for all the confusion. For example when a Japanese person says "thank you" they pronounce it "sank you." So all in all the spelling "Aeris" is actually an accurate translation.
