Lol at them even implying that FFXIII was any level of quality. It would take them 10 times as long to remake FFVII minus towns and any relevant plot whatsoever, rite. |

I'll give it that. If they were any less, they'd be just as lifeless and cliche as the rest of the cast.

And during these 3-4 years you did what, polished in-game rocks? So while many other companies can do open worlds with good story lines, minigames and good graphics in few years, Square'd struggle with it for a lifetime? Sure... Maybe they should stop graphic whoring and focus on the other areas, and maybe then they'll see what game developing really is about. I'm still believing that half of the XIII's development time was used to build up the graphic engine >.> |

At least half. I wouldn't doubt around 90% considering the majority of the storyline is in index files while what we are shown is as interesting as watching paint dry. Some of the worst characters/character development I've ever seen in a game.If they FFXIII-ized FFVII, there would be no exploring, no sidequests, no world map, no optional characters, and absolutely no FF charm. It would be one long pretty hallway with nothing to do but walk forward and watch cutscenes at regular intervals. Possibly having a giant field shoved somewhere to make you feel like you're playing something on a current gen system. Oh, and a two minute ending with a horrible vocal that has nothing to do with the game at all. If all you want is eye candy and cliches that beat you in the face every chance they get, this should please you. |

They already tried that. They called it Final Fantasy X. |

Even FFX was open compared to FFXIII. At the very least, you were able to revisit nearly every area (if not all) all over again instead of a few select areas near the end. Still, I wouldn't wish that on FFVII either. FFVII wasn't the most non-linear game out there, but to remake it with FFXIII in mind would be a horrible mistake and a squandered opportunity. |

I think a VII remake would be cool as long as they just added mini games , better translation, and enhanced the graphics. But if they were to add all the bull crap retcons I'd skip it. |

FFX was at least a journey with a clear destination, so the linearity was more understandable - but XIII was a big, long tube, trying to be an incredible experience. Well, not so sure about that one...
I'd like to see a remake, too, but somehow I have a feeling Square couldn't fulfill the dream I have in my mind... And let's be realistic; could it be possible for Square to NOT play with the retcons? Good ol' Nomura'd make sure that Genesis is mentioned every other second. |

Just thinking about hearing Genesis in VII makes me wanna vomit. I'd have a fan girl cry if they ruined a VII remake like that. But, there's always hope that Nomura would leave retcons alone. |

Honestly I don't want to see Genesis running around in FFVII either. If they do a remake, I'd hope they'd keep it like the original, but since I know they won't, I really don't want it. |

Nomura? He's going to announce his engagement with Gackt in the near future... But yeah, Genesis definitely is one of the most pointless things in the whole VII universe I'd prefer watching AC a hundred times in a row than seeing his face in the remake. *joins the vomiting group*

![]() Heck, if they even did FFVII in X style or VII style graphics I would be pleased. And bull on it taking them twice as long. I think they just don't want to bother. And if they did, yes, they would probably screw it up with Genesis crap. If they merely upgraded the graphics, translations, and added VA's, then I would love a remake. But I don't much trust them to do it properly. |
