"Final Fantasy VII-2"

Right, I juts wanted to get some opinions on this. Comment on these points if you wish.

-Will it ruin what is possibly the greatest RPG of all time, or will it continue it's magnificint legacy?
Personally, I am deprived of FFVII and can't wait for something that bears the title again!

-What kind of plot should it follow?
Did anyone say prequel? No? Well I did! It's possible that it will follow Cloud's earlier days, with Zack in Shinra and all that, but then again, it would have no REAL substance. but SEPHIROTH would be in it! Woo!

-What characters will appear?
Rosalind touched on this elsewhere and personally I would like to see both Aeris and Sephiroth appear. Cait Sith would be a welcome return. Of course, Cloud has to appear. But what about the other guys.

-Where will it be set?
FFVII ENDING SPOILER- Remember the final end sequence where Nanaki is galloping with his offspring towards midgar, which is in ruin? Perhaps that could also hint at the plot. But a WHOLE game based on Red XIII? Come on! So will it be in the same world, or not? hmm.
I would like to see a revamped Gold Saucer(with out the piercing music!)

-Anything else?
Any facts about release etc? I assume it will appear on the GC?(why this forum then?! oops)
Any other opinions?


Thats all...

They did that with Final Fantasy X. Which they shouldn't be messing with either! Just give us FFXII already!

Nah, from what I hear, FFX isn't up to the same standard as 7. A fine game in it's own right though, which FF9 can't really claim, being completely uninvolving.

I guess FF7-2 should be well left alone,Too many fans would be disapointed if they did destroy the story...but hey, what if they did do a good job of it?

Actually FFX totally surpasses FFVII on the 'depth' front. It's an incredibly intelligent and adult storyline with lots of themes within one plot... if FFVII had a weakness it's that there were so many unconnected plotlines within the one story. It sort of lacks cohesion when compared to FFX.

9 wasn't nearly as good as 7 or 10, but you can't really say it was uninvolving. At least it wasn't annoying and camp like 8. I really didn't like that at all after I'd gone through it once.

My opinion of the FF series is different. FF7 was excellent (of course) FF8 was too short, and Ultimecia just wasn't dislikeable enough. FF9 I got bored of after about 10-12 hours. It just didn't keep me playing like the ones before 6, 7 and 8.

FF6, while graphically inferior, was huge, with loads of characters. A great game, but no FF7...

i dont understand why no-one likes ff8 its the best it wasnt to short it had the best story battles and sub-quests

I have no experince of 5 and downwards, but I would have to say that I think that ff8 or ff10 is the best.

I don't know how you can say that ff8 was too short - it had 4 blimmin disks - longer than ff7 that had three!

I admit that ff7 had an amazing storyline, and that it is a decent quality game, but I prefer ff8, as characters, graphics, videos and bosses.

i know why he thinks its short because its blimmin fantastic

Well I'm against it really, because I don't see how any sequel could make it better in any way, or even do it justice. Square are thinking of this though, as they have said in numerous interviews that they are wary of making a game that doesn't fully match up to it's predecessor. We'll have to wait and see.
