"Final Fantasy 7 on PS3"

I think i have seen the most truely stunning, gorgeous bit of Final Fantasy i've ever seen in my life. The fantastic ''Technical Demo'' is mind-blowing...The graphics are out of this world...

It starts off exactly the same as the old one, were Aries is in Midgar and if zooms out, to show the Mako reactor and the whole of Midgar...Then the Final Fantasy VII logo pops up. It zooms into the railway and shows cloud jumping off the train onto the platform...It cuts off before Barret and Avalanche would have came into the scene.

If that is next-gen graphics and gameplay, count me in. I really am glad i live in this century..Seeing the best video games evolve into the most gorgeous things on the planet.

Most people on this forum know i love Final Fantasy, and that's why i posted this message in the 'General Chat'. Just so more people can get an idea of what the Final Fantasy VII remake will be like. Thanks for reading, i hope this will inspire some of you to go and download the Trailer and enjoy it as much as i have.

Having just found out more about this news, i was told this:

'The 'Technical Demo' does not mean that a Remake of Final Fantasy VII will be made for the PS3'

I don't know what to make of this, but Square-Enix might not want us to think it's coming out, and then they will surprise us and bring it out for all the Final Fantasy fans. Thats what i hope...Maybe, it really was just a bit of eye candy, and to show what type of graphics the PS3 can produce...

Knights Of The Round was brilliant if you wanted to drink your coffee.

The magics were amazing better on FF7, i loved using Ultima against Sepiroth.

The system was perfect...The way you battle with 'Aeons' it rubbish on FFX. I like the old ways.

Materia was the best of the ones I played. I didnt like the sphere grid from X at all. Thats one of the reasons 7 was such a good game. I had tons of fun collecting, mastering and arranging my materia.

Materia is r0x0r, you are correct. But I think triple linked slots might have been just too amazing. A bit too easy.

I don't think they should go back to it though, it was a great aspect of FFVII but there's no need to do it again.

Materia is the best system ever.
Just the range of things you can do with it.

I wouldn't have liked to see some triple-linked slots, though, that would have let you do some amazing stuff.

Where do people stand on the system used, do you want materia orbs, spiderweb maps, junctioning, a new system, i'd really rather they hadn't changed it from FF VII

Just common traits.
It is the same series, after all.

But they're all different.

Well I doubt that will happen. If there is a remake It'll be number 7 other wise probably non at all. You said about the final 8 trailer for the PS2. Well that wsa another tech demo that never got remade. More reasons against a reamke of 7. Most of the PS3 games at E3 are just demos and ideas and wont see the light of day in their current form.

Pheonix Downs just seemed a little odd after she died.
