I'd be stoked!  Like, really stoked!  But... also kinda worried, cause they can't change it TOO much or it wouldn't be FFVII anymore... Maybe tweak combat a little, but they'd need to keep materia (of course), limit breaks, a WORLD MAP that you run around and explore, random encounters, and all those different methods of travel.  And all the old side quests and mini-games and secrets... And maybe add some new ones! 

I have to agree I would be EXCITED, and after the tech demo, why not go all out and remake the game???  I know many people that would buy a ps3 just to experience the emotional rollercoaster that is ff7

Never. Random encounters suck.

if they made it look like advent children i would be really excited....and yes random encounters to suck big time

I would go apeshit

I wouldn't care.

I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy. It's not that great of a series.

I wouldn't care.

I'd think - "I'd buy it" . Half of me would think that it could be a really, really good remake and another half of me would think that it could go wrong. (emphasis on COULD)

I would cry.  I vote to let the masterpieces rest in peace.  With the way Square Enix is headed I wouldn't be surprised if it was either half-assed or went to the DS.  *Shivers*  And that is a day I don't want to see.  I honestly don't think S.E. could re-capture the brilliance that was FFVII in a remake.

Eh I would rather them remake FF6 since it easily rivals FF7 but is very underrated, I wouldnt mind playing FF7 again with a decent translation this time around though...

I'd be pissed because I'd never hear the end of it. But if it meant that people would eventually shut up about that stupid game then do it. Do it quickly.

My initial reaction would be "If I didn't loathe turn based game play right down to my core, would be super excited about this". However I do loathe turn based game play right down to my core so I would be briefly saddened about missing out on an otherwise worthy game and then push it to the back of my mind and forget about it.

i would not care i hate final fanasy

Fwd: DKS3713 is an Anagram: DKS3713 = REMAKE7

Proof that VII is being remade ?

I would laugh and know that square no longer has innovation in the company they are the EA of rpgs they remake, port, rerelease and thats it.

Remaking a JRPG is extremely pointless. I already know what's going to happen. What's the point in playing? Enjoying the exiting gameplay?

I'd actually love it if they released the game so I could play it on my ps3 or xbox, but kept it as it was - all old school. For me, one of the reasons I go back to it even now is the old school nostalgia charm. If it was 'remade' fully, as in all new graphics, gameplay, etc, I'm not sure I'd be as excited: I've seen that story and I'd only be endlessly comparing it to my experience of the origional. It just sucks having to have my psone, ps2, ps3 and xbox 360 all at hand if I want to play my games. I usually don't, and so I need to plan to decide to want to replay psone games about a month in advacne so I can go to Scotland and get the bloody thing! I'm loving all the potential of making full back catelogues downloadable for 360 and ps3. :)

Actually, I wouldn't mind if the cut scenes were redone a bit - I know Advent Children was basically pretty fanservicec animation, but some more of that mixed in would maybe be quite cool.

Also, I don't mind turn based combat, but if you don't like it, don't play it. Simple as that. Don't bitch about it.

I don't see the point of playing it again. If I want to play FF7 I will play it, why should I buy it again? Not a bad idea for Sony to help boost some sales for the PS3 though. I would probably buy it, but still. With the way things seem to be going, watch them remake it as an Xbox 360 exclusive. 

"I would laugh and know that square no longer has innovation in the company they are the EA of rpgs they remake, port, rerelease and thats it."

then you need to search i have quite a few threads, AS for that you cant really say that when quite a few people in this thread agree with me on that, its the same on the rpg character hate thread im the 3rd person to say they hate cloud.  Im not alone is my dislike of square Squre went to crap after ff6.

ahah im that much off a ff7 fanboy il buy a ps3 just for that game . but i don't it think  gonna come out on the ps3 maby some next gen psp or ds 

I really would be indifferent. I actually played through the original over winter break and it just didn't hit me as anything too special.

While I understand a huge population of gamers are nostalgic for this game they do realize it is one of the worst entries in the Final Fantasy universe right?

I would much rather see a full fledged remake of 4, 5, and 6. 4, and 6 IMO are the best stories in the game, and 5 has probably the most fun gameplay. With those three games the Final Fantasy series could just call it quits.

I bet Sony is doing everything in their power to lobby for this game, and Squares new properties are falling pretty flat. It all seems likely to me.

I would say to myself "That's pretty cool, I'll play it when it comes out" then continue on with my day.

I would stink my pants and cry.

"I would laugh and know that square no longer has innovation in the company they are the EA of rpgs they remake, port, rerelease and thats it."

WTF?!?! THis thread was dead for five months, does it need reviving? LEAVE THIS TOPIC ALONE

Uh...you should have been laughing nonstop for the last 3-4 years then."

I would say:

"This means nothing to me, but I am mildly pleased that so many people are getting their wish."

its cool, i would be more excited about that then final fantasy 13.

There was a time when I would be very excited about it.  But at the moment if they announced it I would think it was cool but not get really excited about it.

id eat a cookie

I'd be pretty happy.  That being said, I actually want FF13 much more than FF7.  As much as I want to see a remade cloud and high defintion midgar, I'd rather get FF13 and Versus first.

Because honestly speaking, FF13 is obviously made, at least from what we can tell, to be a sucessor to FF7.
Really would like to see the Golden Saucer again in FF13.  Yea, I know, it's small, but it'd be pretty neat for that to make a cameo appearence

It's going to come out eventually though.  I'd imagine it's going to come out much later though. 

I wouldn't care. I've never played a Final Fantasy game.

I would like too see it re-released on the PS3, never played the game but i do know how incredible it is. So for me it would be a great thing to see.

With a huge "meh".

I might be a little excited, but it is Final Fantasy.

I'd be stoked, but I doubt it will happen. Now, they need to get with the picture and release FF7 on PSN, so I can get it to my PSP.

I'd be disappointed. I would like a port to the DS, much like the previous ports, with the bugs ironed out and maybe a new translation, but other than that, that game must be left alone. Nobody needs a remake.

"As for me, I love the original, have beaten it to death."

"Goddamit.Wasnt a movie enough?"
I dont adore 7 like everyone else.I like 6 and 12.

I would go about my regular life for a few days before suddenly realizing what I read and suddenly turn into a Japanese schoolgirl.

Meh, I've already experienced FF 7, seen everything it had to offer and enjoyed every minute of it, but I don't know if I would buy the same game. I think it's time to move on and have the final fantasy series explore other universes.

I hope they save the remake for a later generation system.  Playstation 4 maybe?  That way it will be even more awesome!
