Gah, wrote a long post, then it disappeared.
Don't go with the PC version - the hoops you have to go through to get it to work with any modern graphics card are immense (and that's with a legit copy of the game I bought). Aside from the myriad of exciting glitches like upside down video, super-boss-crashes, and a game clock that runs at about 1/3 speed, it's naff with a keyboard. I got a PS1 controller adapter and, tbh, wish I had just restarted my PS1 copy.
To someone else's comment, guns in FF are hardly new. Squall, lead in FFVIII, had his gunblade. Yuna in FFX-2, basically a gunner. Balthier and his guns in FFXII - pretty bad-ass.
Anyhow, back on topic. A remake isn't what we need. It's more thought-out areas, an even better battle system, and fantastic storytelling & voiceacting. FFXII-2, anyone?

Heh, I never thought about the PC version. I suppose I could give it a whirl.
For the PC anyway, you can download an "Ultimate" edition of FF7 thats had the video re-encoded so its not so big and it includes some fan made patches to help it work with XP.
Could you not download it from somewhere online?
That's the reason why I'll never get to play FF7. I'm not forking out £20 for a PS1 game, no matter how good it is, probably because I don't have £20.
A remake would be good if they don't play around with the gameplay too much, just so I could see what the fuss is about.

PS1 versions are a collectors item and are selling for £20 in the shops and more online. Getting it for windows? Pretty much impossible.

If you still hold this statement after seeing the Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailers, I will have your head.
As far as remaking VII, I don't really see the point, people would hate it. You'd have to keep the story-line the same otherwise fans would be outraged in some way, so then all emphasis is on graphics, which would look lovely, no doubt, but people would get very bored of the game play quite quickly.
Well, maybe not the die hard fans, but everyone else would. Yes it was fantastic and brilliant game way back in 1996(ish) but to todays standards, I'm not sure it could offer enough to get new gamers playing it, so I don't think they'd generate enough profit from it to allow a remake to be made.

Meh I'm looking forward to Kingdom Hearts 3 whenever they decide to release it. Just imagine the possibilities on the PS3...hopefully will be more like the first than the second.
