I look forward to the remake,and want a new choice in aerith' life :)

Still waiting on the Xenogears remake.

Eh, I'm over it; I've been over it. The only reason I've ever said that they really should remake the game is for their own benefit; it's basically a license to print money. As for confidence, that drains right out of me as soon as I see that little stamp of death that Squenix calls a logo; as soon as the merger happened, they transformed innumerable beloved franchises of mine into things that I couldn't even acknowledge anymore. I think they're going to trash this old game with weird gimmicks and obnoxious minigames, and people are going to praise it, anyway.

I have had no exposure to Final Fantasy so I don't have any emotional commitment regarding a remake (and don't know anything about it).
Thanks for the giveaway.

Very low confidence. FF7 was made when Square was in their prime, and helped usher in the golden era of big budget jrpgs. Todays SquarEnix is...well just look at the ports they've done of their various classic games and you can tell how much of a shit they give about their legacy (or quality control in general).

Also, I'm not a fan of some of the changes they've made in the remake in general, and the character models I think need some changes (Clouds arms have some really bad anatomy issues). On the plus side though, Midgar itself looks good.

Story/game play should be like the original, monster wise. Some of the crazy weird ones have been replaced

most people think it will suck but as soon as a FF7 remake giveaway appears, they will enter instantly. sg at its finest 😂

I'm not really the target audience for it. Played it three or four years after it released. Maybe five. Didn't really play any JRPGs before playing VII. I'm still not a big fan of the game mechanics versus western RPGs, or even calling it an "RPG" in the first place considering the western D&D style interpretation of role-playing.

That said, FFVII is a very good game. Interesting story, characters, music, setting, and even gameplay. I would definitely consider it a classic.

So remaking it, apart from money reasons, seems unlikely to surpass the original. They might. Better graphics is an obvious one. But the recent remake of FF8(?) doesn't bode well. So, I'm doubtful. I hope the people making it have the capability, passion, and respect for the original that a remake deserves. But cynical me still thinks it's just being done for the money.

thx love ff

FF7 was a fairly straightforward game, not sure there are many massive plot points or mechanics that they can really ruin. Hit a few iconic beats with flashy set pieces, knock the rough edges off wandering around the world map, update the battle system without adding too many extra gimmicks and I'd be a happy camper.

Unless there's a fucking card game, then all bets are off.

Well.. I'm not gonna hold it against the original. It's been awhile - Times change.
Folks tend to desperately crave something new (like a remake) to satisfy an old nostalgic craving. It never works.

This whole expectance of ruin is just tiresome. I'll just take it for what it is 👌

I would be happy to be proven wrong, I don't want the FF7 remake to be bad, but what I've seen of it has not filled me with much confidence. Between the protracted development, episodic nature, and the bits about the game that we've seen thus far, I don't think it looks to be shaping up to be very good :( But I won't cheer if I'm right, and I would be happy if I'm wrong.

Giveaway ends tomorrow!

TAKE MUH MONEY!!

It's too big to fail! And making it episodic means they can course correct with features if necessary. As long as people aren't unhappy with the battle system, and it seems to be well received from looking at videos and you can use different versions of it depending on what you prefer.

The fact that launch was delayed by a month after people already had already place pre-orders and that its only part 1 of 3 is a bit disappointing...

2 hours left, yo.

The FF VIII remaster has eroded any confidence I had, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

i been putting off playing the original for years, ill go straight into the remake, N64/PS1 graphics require too much imagination these days xd. Thank you.
