The biggest FFVII remake petition on the site with over 2100 signatures.
You all know this is one of the greatest games ever, and truly deserves revamping for the current/next generation.
Please sign it - who knows, something might actually come of it...
By all means make the sequel and prequel, but the main story is perfect as it is.
> Would any1 actually buy basically the same game?
Nintendo seem to be getting away with this sort of stuff all the time...
I refuse to play sequels.
Go away.
> When's that then?
All their re-releases of the Mario games and the NES classics.
Er, come to think about it, that's a bad comparison. Ignore me :D
It's a classic the way it is, and bringing it up to date on a newer platform will not do it any added justice.
Resident Evil benefitted greatly from having updated graphics on the Gamecube, but an RPG update would not be given as big a boost with better graphics.
The game is one of the best ever, it should be laid to rest that way and not milked as a cash cow.
Rereleased as a PS2 game, on a PSOne disc maybe, but not redone already, maybe in 10-15 years time if the PSOne version is not compatible with hardware, but not now, not this soon.

FF9 was better than FF8! I REALLY WANT A REMAKE OF FF7. I would pay upto £40 is cash anyday. Final Fantasy was better when Square-Soft were there. Square-Enix had better start getting their act together...

How could they have a sequel? Sephiroth, by far the coolest character, is dead. A prequel, maybe, but not a sequel.
I heard this crazy idea that FFX-2 was actually the prequel to FF7. You know Shinra(sounds familiar, could be an ancestor) told Yuna he could extract the energy of the planet from the farplane? Lifeforce anyone?
FF9 and 7 rule uber alles.
FF7 > FF9 > FFX > FF3 > FFX-2 > FF8
although I prefer Chrono Trigger on the SNES to any of the Final Fantasy titles

There are many pointers towards this conclusion; anyone who has played FF7 will remember Barret saying "Y'all at Shinra are the vermin...and that makes you King VERMIN!" to President Shinra near the beginning and this rather bizarrely leads to the boss King VERMIN! on FFX-2.
