HD Kills Final Fantasy VII PS3 Remake

@Liam
I would have to agree. Plus if the issue is just the fact it would be so time consuming do to the fact its to complex why not try working on it as a side project. See what you can do and at least make the effort to TRY and make it work. Hell if it looks a lot better and maintains the same story plot I am sure the people will be pleased.

Gee, that's a real pity in my opinion, if square enix were to make a remake of final fantasy 7 i'm sure that there would be thousands of copies sold no matter what price they put it up for, i agree that it would be difficult but in all honesty i think that it would be worth the effort, both for the fans and for the company. I personally have played through the original game twice despite its ageing graphics, and i know many others that have played through the game recently as well as myself using either an old ps1 or an emulator, which is proof of the games continued popularity despite its age. While I agree with all that i say here, i highly disagree with those people saying that they should put all other projects on hold and focus on making a remake of ffvii, that would simply be impractical, there are also a massive amount of fans of the series itself who are eagerly awaiting the next game in the series and by stopping the production of the next games in the series, square enix would be damaging their profits quite considerably. All the same, the fact that Square Enix has the time and money to make multiple spinoff games of ffvii as well as make an hour and a half pre-rendered movie and even an anime is rather ridiculous in my opinion (don't get me wrong, i quite enjoyed these extras), they would be far better off spending their time and money on making an actual sequel to the original game like all the fans are asking for.

If a game company isn't making games that everybody wants to play, what on earth is their use? You think they should just continue to make games that fans don't care about? S-E is suffering financially and for some reason, they feel that making deluded, over-hyped, clones of the same dead horse (anything after ff9) will somehow work for the better. This game would easily be the biggest selling game in their sales history, yet they insist on making games that we, the consumers, don't want to play. Why would I ever buy something that I don't want to use?

You can't say someone is selfish when they pay money for a good game and get let down. When you pay for quality and do not receive it. I reserved ffxiii and was so disappointed in the game I threw it away. Why? Companies like Square have become too consumed with HD and pretty characters that they stopped making games with good game play. Even the article stated that "Maybe when HD game development becomes less challenging, we can start to see Final Fantasy games take more creative liberties with towns and other explorable areas." This statement alone shows that their concern is on appearance and not game play. I desire a remake of ff7 because the classics had something that the new developers can not seem to capture. And I do not say this as someone reliving a childhood game; I did not play my first final fantasy game till I was in college. It is plain and simple; Final Fantasy will continue to go downhill until the developer change their priorities.

Even though saying it will take a huge chunk of time to make ffvii again would it not be epic? Beside that everyone would just love the game, thus bringing in money. Come on. Seriously I really want the saga of ffvii to continue!

I would buy the remake... on day 1... along with everyone else! Please make it square!

As if there not going to remake the BEST EVER game (imo) lol FF7 is still so huge now and its been like 15 years since its initial release....trust me they will remake it, it would be ludicrous not to after all that game alone changed ALOT in the gaming world not just for Square just goes to show how a single game can be so overpowering :)
