they aren't remaking ff7 for the ps3, its just a technical demo of the main intro to show off the ps3's power. Makes u think how good a remake could actually be tho

Still, they could probably make almost as much cash on a remake of FF7 as on a new game. That "almost" bit is the problem though, as not everyone would be willing to buy a game they already know all the spoilers to. Lovely thought, but most likely one that will ever be fully realized.

Yeah, a good 1/4ths to 1/3rd of the ff7 fans i know say they wouldnt buy a remake.
And, it would kinda suck for all of us, cuz, most of ya have been spending years cracking ff7s file formats and we're just starting to be able to mod the game to our liking..
then, poof, a whole new version with better graphics and everything? That would suck =P

Even then, I don't think they'd make a new PC version. And because of that, if/when they release a remake, we'd just grab any pre-rendered backgrounds and use them for the ones we have now, and grab anything else that could be imported or converted.....

You know.. If they remade FF7 on the PS3 it would be probably enough to get me to fork over the (last i heard) price of $437.. Depending on game shots.. That was just the intro movie.. Depending on how much they actually changed in the game graphic wise .. I'd have to see, but WOW.. I'd love to see a remake of FF6 while they are at it.. and 8 .. but 6 and 7 more.. OOOH and remake tactics!

This should be FF7. And you bet your ass that i'd buy the remake!
Man...
Would be cool to implement this as the intro movie to the original FF7

I’m going to have to admit to being in that ¼th who would not buy a remake.
The game is perfect as it is. The graphics can’t be better. Why? Because those are the graphics that bring me back to the days when I was playing it for the first time.
I will not make any nostalgic connection to a game with renewed graphics. And once the nostalgic connection is lost, there is nothing else the game can offer me, since I already know the plot, the story, the characters, etc.
The first time through is where the magic is.
I got lost in the game. The game surrounded me and I was able to completely escape reality, with full bliss. And while I was blissfully lost in cyber-reality, those pixilated low-polygon graphics and poor-quality MIDI music shaped my entire existence.
In other words, that blissful world is made out of jagged polygons and low-quality music.
There is no way to get into that world if you dive into a world of high-quality graphics and sound.
The world made of high-quality graphics and sound will be a new world, and it will not have any connection to “bliss†at all.
Nor will it be able to create that connection since the only way that connection can be made is through the discovery of the game, which can only be made the first time through.
I don’t really understand all this fuss over graphics.
It’s like people think it will bring back all the fun they had the first time they played it, but it won’t.
I would definitely not buy any remakes of this game. I would let my friends buy it and then just visit their homes. Once I’ve seen the graphics and heard the sounds, the fascination has come to an end.
There is no point in playing the game and certainly no point in actually spending money on it.

I agree with L. Spiro's ideals, but my own view varies a little.
Explanation A:
Yeah, nothing can compare with the first play-through of this truly magnificent work of art. It's not much different than your first-love. Similarly, you can't compare your first, your seconded, or third, etc... (or any-combination-their-of). With every person you truly fall in love with, it's different... no better... no worse....
I, for one, would not hesitate to buy a re-make of FF7. Not because I want something better... Hell no. Only because I want to feel the way I did before, when it was an adventure that I haven’t seen before. Sure, I've seen Cosmo Canyon... but a remake provides the ability to explore it for the first time... again (yes, if you think about it, that sentence –does- make since).
(BTW: Just so we're all clear, I'm not talking about sex. That's something completely separate from what I'm referring too. ...plus, it would completely screw up my point.)
Confused? I know I'm not am... am not I know.. not I... umm...
Ok, I'm going to try this differently. It's not like me to write that kind of stuff.
Explanation #Dos:
OK! I'm making this simple.
COOKIE: The first batch of cookies tasted great! Nothing could be better!
FF7: This game was great! Nothing could be better!
---
COOKIE: All "cookies" are "cookies"... but they can be different too.
FF7: All FF7's are FF7... but they can be re-makes too.
---
COOKIE: Some cookies can turn out bad, especially if they are burnt.
FF7: Some remakes can turn out bad, especially if they BS on the quality seen in the original.
---
COOKIE: Other cookies could be just a good, although different.
FF7: Some remakes could be just as good, although different.
---
COOKIE: A good cookie is a good cookie, no matter what kind of cookie it is!
FF7: A good FF7 game is a good FF7 game, even if it is a remake.
Ok, one more thought just popped in my head... ...then I'll stop...
Explanation III:
Would you be satisfied with persistent (and ever-growing) game-errors for the next 20+ years, as technology changes... or would you eventually want a remake, so you could play worry-free?
CONCLUSION:
So just because...
Yeah, my first explanation was best. :wink: Man! WTF is with me? This whole topic has me all sentimental!?! -_-
---
EDIT: Just watched the movie... frick'en sweet! Although, now my job of recreating it is now that much harder. Ha, ha... ironic.

- It's not a cookie I'm familiar with...
- It can play flawlessly on my new top-of-the-line $20,000 Workstation (-I wish!-)
Yeah, my first explanation was best. :wink: Man! WTF is with me? This whole topic has me all sentimental!?! -_-

I am with odo324 on this one.
I mean, FF7 rocks(even though I'm not quite finished with it yet), and a remake wouldn't be the same, but it would still be fun. I remember when I first played FFVI (FFIII for Super Nintendo). It was my first Final Fantasy game. I was amazed. It was a classic. The best RPG I had ever played! (up until then.) But the graphics are 2-D. The music quality sucks. If they made a remake, with better graphics/music, I would buy it. It would never match up to the first time, because FF6 is 2-D and bad quality music, but it would be a great experience, and probably worth your money.
One more example, and I'll leave you alone.
I played Fire Emblem for GBA, and loved it. One of the best games I had ever played. In fact, I loved it so much, I bought Fire Emblem 2 on the day it came out. I began playing it, and really enjoyed it. Now, I know that a sequel isn't the same as a remake. But it's the same concept. Fire Emblem 2 is basically Fire Emblem with a different story and levels, but souped up graphics, gameplay, and music. I know that an FF7 remake would have the same story and levels, but the it would be fun to see how the game would have been made in the future. And I know that Fire Emblem 2 doesn't have the same level of improved graphics as an FF7 remake would, but you get the point.
Anyway, my conclusion:
FF6/Fire Emblem - One of a kind experience
[nonexistent]FF6 Remake/Fire Emblem 2 - still fun, not the same as original, but brings back memories of the good ol' days
So, in short, if the question is "Would you buy a FFVII remake?", the answer is...
YES!:lol:

Man, Square isn't making FF7 for PS3 and doesn't even consider it.
They have too many projects to finish and another one would slow everything down. Don't forget they delayed the FFXII release.

No remake for PS3? Good.
Whether or not a remake would be good shouldn't even be considered. Square is just breaking too many rules these days. All they seem to be saying to me is "money, money, money".
Square should move onto new projects... I feel spending money and staff on making FFXII kick ass would be better ^^;;
Anyway, did anyone hate the music in that trailer? There's no way they can match Uematsu's original arangements. I've only watched it once (it digusted me), but I don't think they had Uematsu do the music. Considering he's retired from Squaresoft to expand his horizons, I wonder if he'd come back for a remake...
Without Uematsu, there's not a HOPE IN HELL that the music will work.

well ti depends who wns the rights to the music in ffvii.. they could jsut recreate it ya know 0.o
and secondly money is what games are for.. no mater what you feel or believe, companies make games to make money, simple as taht.. so the'll put resources into whatever they think will sell the most

Are you mad? Who do you think owns the rights to FFVII's music? Magic Harry? There's never been any question as to who owns the music; it's just a case of they WILL recreate it, and unless Uematsu does this there is NO chance of it coming out sounding good (by my standards).
And, yes, all video game companies are just out to make money. You just go ahead and believe that.
