If FFVII were to be remade, things would change

Commendable of them Giullio but Nintendo DS did not give them a 50GB blu ray and it is not a PS3, nor are Nintendo, Senix.

A remake of FF7, would likely be a bloated mess for the reasons above.  The more power you give someone, the more responsibility they need. 

If you think back to FF9 and even FF12, although they were state of the art graphics at the time, a CD or a DVD would not allow them to do as they pleased.  They had to be much more conservative with how they went about design.  Now, they have a surplus, and they seem to want to fill the game with as much as they can, regardless of whether that is good for gameplay or pacing, or not.

Imho that is the primary reason for these graphic fests we are currently getting.  They can spend less time planning a good game, and can bloat it up with spectacular sequences.  Graphic wise, less is sometimes more.  Pacing and spending your effort and time on gameplay and story instead, is preferable.

So, the problem is that at some point FF built itself a crystallis, and emerged a pop-rpg.  I call that crystallis FFX.  Enix grabbed hold of the newly formed moth (a butterfly is too pretty for this metaphor) and ripped its wings off, and created the abominations we see today.

With my recent exposure to the Suikoden series, I am rapidly restructuring my list of favorite rpgs.  Why?  Because Konami found agood recipe for a game, and for each sequel added a few new spices, or a little less salt and pepper.  I mean, Duels, War Battles, Helmets, Armor, Shields, Runes, massive lists of characters, set in different regions and times in the same world.  If Konami revolutionized this series in order to attract more idiots to give them money, the series would die.  Final Fantasy had the advantage of claiming the best freaking game ever made, and many millions of copies of their games floating around...this just means that FF will take longer to die, or will lost 99% of its former fanbase to replace it with Lady Gaga and Obama fans.

Really...I would have played FF till I die if all the games' systems were variations of FFT, FFVII, FFV, FFVI, FFVIII, and FFIX.  I give FFX credit for being the last addition to the series to consider the former fanbase, but it was also the first to attract all the heretics that walk among us today.  AKA, the end of Final Fantasy.  Had Enix not merged, then maybe Square would have realized the error of their ways, but Enix did come along to hammer the nails into FF's coffin.
 
My mind just popped through two or three subjects with pop connections with the last post. Let me see if I can retrack myself
-for one, it is a really sad day when bethesda and epic games (any company using unreal engine to make rpg style games) are making better rpg's then the final fantasy series.
-But I think that perhaps Square sailed that boat (being looked at as the top rpg maker) for so long they forgot what it was like to make that first final fantasy. The first one was intended to be the company's last game before they closed up. So they created the best game they possibly could pouring all of their remaining resource into it. Hence they got a good hit and their company got it's legs back. And they did similar with final fantasies up through 9. But 10 and after, they've taken on the policy of not throwing most of their eggs in one basket, so the quality in final fantasy has been lacking since then. I think if they again viewed their final fantasy games as if it were the last games their company would make and that they had to leave their best legacy behind them, the quality would go back up.

and this is where my mind started jumping to other conclusions
-with that maybe I should reconfigure my order of best fantasies in current standards.
-Well so far thats bethesda's oblivion and fallout games(my opinion, probably should get a gamefly account and rent some games. What makes them cool is fans get to delve into the process and use the construction editor tool to make mods to the games.
-Hey what if it were possible to make a game out of just releasing a construction editor.
-Is it possible to create a company within a cloud, p2p, basically online.
-Make a stream like service to download the main of the game and all of it's mods. Search through mods and all that. Have mods be turned on and off/installed through a checklist. Have the program have a backup of the original files that cannot be messed with. etc. etc.

to me, it would be interesting if it were possible to rally game players and people more experienced in modding/game development, into basically creating the whole of a game.(( and of course for a company to make a profit off it  :evil:   ))
Mainly I got this whole idea out of the question "why doesn't square make a development kit and ship it out to fans." and of course there is the thought of directing the people who pick up the kit, to develop the game in a certain way. So yeah, my mind tends to jump around alot during my first cup of coffee.
