Yeah, guns do seem to have spoilt the idea of it.

Sadly to say, it's hard to go back to FF7 when you've played things like Blue Dragon and others on the next next gen (so far back I can't believe it). Great game, but I can get to grips with it now because of the graphics. I don't usually rate a game on graphics, but it's hard when there is a HUGE difference. I'm sure I will play it again as I loved it, but it'll be the initial 5 hours of the game that will be the toughest, as it'll mean I'll have to adapt back to the PSX me.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Nintendo DS release, or maybe s part of a compilation of FF games on the Xbox or Wii, but to change its looks would be like updating the original Goldeneye to have Halo 3-esque graphics. It wouldn't be the same game.

It's a quality classic. I was glad I was able to pick it up brand new on my PS2 last year - even if I still haven't found the time to get through the first disc :P

(If anyone on here remembers what I was like when FFVII was out on PSX then they'd be shocked to see me praising the original game...)

I'm going to spark up an argument here... I preffered FF9

But FF7 was a close second :)

If Square made FFVII again, I think that they should leave the graphics as they are and increase the gameplay to colossal levels. BEST GAME EVER!!!

The gameplay seems a bit average these days, I'd just leave it.

This is in my top 5 games too (got to have gran turismo, wipeout and Pro Evo in there!)

It should not be remade. The only thing they could improve is the graphics - and I think flashy graphics would spoil the appeal somewhat. I like the plinky music so that can't be updated either. I have it on PC and Playstation, you can pick up a PS1 with FF7 on ebay for under 30 quid and play it as it was intended.


A "patched" version with all the typos fixed would be nice, though.

Given the crap Square have been making lately i'd rather they leave FF7 well alone so i can still think of it positively.

Don't really see the point.

Making another FF game concentrating on the depth of storyline, the pick-up-and-play combat system with subtle masteries, the vastness of gameplay, the epic nature and all that other crap that made FF7 such an awesome game, should be the priority. Not re-hashing old games for new systems.

The focus MUST be taken away from just making games look really pretty.
