--- Quote from: TomsHardwareGuide ---There's little question that Final Fantasy VII is the most popular in the series. Besides it being the first one in 3D and the first for its new home on the Sony PlayStation family. Perhaps for that reason, it holds a special place in many gamers' hearts.
Today, our latest Final Fantasy is up to XIII, and for the first time in its traditional format (not MMO) it's gone onto Microsoft's Xbox. By all measures, Final Fantasy is bigger than ever, but many still remember fondly back to the series' first big splash in the worldwide market.
In an inteview with Siliconera, Motomu Toriyama, director of Final Fantasy XIII, answered a question that sent many the hearts of fans aflutter.
--- Quote from: Motomu Toriyama ---You worked on a bunch of Final Fantasy games. Which one would you want to remake the most?
[Laughs.] That would be Final Fantasy VII!
If we had the manpower and the time to work on a project, if we were to remake Final Fantasy VII with the quality of Final Fantasy XIII it would become a tremendous project. If we can get the number of people we need by all means that would be the one I would really want to remake.

And now would be a good time to bring back this PlayStation 3 tech demo featuring a Final Fantasy VII theme:

What's your opinion? FFVII PS3 Remake: Yay or Nay?
I say abso-fcking-lutely ;D
4 years ago Advent Children managed to show us FFVII in a way that simply wasn't technologically possible 10 years previously when 3D pre-renders and real-time processing power were still at their origins...
Now FFXIII proved that the technology has finally reached the real-time-rendering level and pre-rendered storage capacity (BRD ftw) that a FF truly requires. Everybody agrees that the game has managed surpass expectations visually.
If SE remade FFVII with the Advent Children character models and stayed true to it's roots, I'd most definitely buy and enjoy it. I'm not saying they have to stick to the gameplay-mechanics, interface and character interactions in exactly the same way, so long as they keep the story and the plethora of side-quests and explorational possibilities. For all I care they can add further side-quests.
I think it'd be epic :) What about you?

It would be nice, but there would be no satisfying people.
If they left it exactly as is with a new 3rd engine. People would complain.
If they updated the game mechanics, people would complain.
Its a lose lose situation, so it will never happen.

It'd still sell extremely well though. There'd be much moneys to be made. Hence it could happen...

I'd rather have Square working on worthy new games rather than rehashing their past glory. Having a remake of FF VII done would only further prove that they don't know how to make good games anymore, for it would be only marginally less work than creating a completely new one.
Besides, there's a not negligible risk they would butcher it like they've been butchering the franchise for a good while now.

13 is anything but a butchering, It was really good. I wasnt all that into 12, but it really wasnt a bad game either. Sure not up to ff standards but it was still good.
