Kojima asks Nomura for an FF7 remake

I would like to pass along a note to Kojima, "Hurry and release Zone of the Enders 3. I know you can do it!"

Eh. I just recently replayed FF7 (still a good game, by the way), and I'm not too sure I want a remake. Not if they decide to change Cloud from the mostly normal dude he is in the original game to what he is now.

In before kaosangel Nomura lovefest.

Ugh, really guys?  Again with this?  

Square should just do it and get it over with assuming they don't take 40 years to do it. Versus was announced in like 349 B.C. and that game is still no where to be seen...

The only thing that I find glaring whenever I decide to revisit FF7 is the blocky models outside of battle. If there is one thing that ages badly, it is early polygonal graphics of the time. I think the transition between the different character models is probably what I find jarring about it, I found MGS perfectly tolerable in comparison.

nomura would fuck it up. it's inevitable.

Yes Square-Enix, please remake Final Fantasy VII. I'm begging you. 

lol gotta love Kojima.

If Nintendo can keep churning out OoT remakes, with no one asking mind you, I think a FFVII remake is a reasonable quest.

Agreed.  ZOE2 was an awesome game and I'd love to see a third.

So Kojima basically told Nomura he was tired of all the shit being published by them and wanted to play a decade old game instead?

Amazing.

Will people not ever shut up about this? Do they honestly still wish for a remake after what they've seen the modern Square-Enix do with the franchise?

More like get on with KH 3.

Define churning out.  Nintendo released Ocarina of Time once on the GameCube, which was just a port with Master Quest content.  The Virtual Console version is just the N64 game with a useless Stone of Agony.  The 3DS version is the only true remake that the game has received.

I thought we were at the point now where people didn't want Square making an FF7 remake due to the poor quality of their other titles. ie. they need to get their shit together first otherwise an FF7 remake would suck.

Square already has a huge to-do list...

I'm not the biggest FFVII fan but it would be interesting to see at least some sort of re-release. The original localization is pretty shoddy and the weird blocky look outside of battle looked silly to me back in 97. Wether the Square of today could pull it off without half the game being overstuffed with needless cut scenes (I'm looking at you FFXIII) or its trademark bad voice acting remains to be seen. If it works though, Square-Enix could get back onto a strong footing after their decline.

Bad voice acting?

I dont think they will ever remake Final Fantasy VII.

...(waits until E3 where Square shoves it in his face and announces a remake)

Yes Square-Enix, please remake Final Fantasy VII. I'm begging you.

SO PEOPLE WILL SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT ALREADY.

@QuistisTrepe: FF7 is one of my favorite games of all time, and I've never bought a spinoff of it unless you consider Kingdom Hearts which had some of the FF7 characters.  BTW, I like FF8 a lot too as I notice your avatar.

Guys, guys, surely you're all joking about them remaking FF7, right? I mean, they already remade it once. It just got such poor marketing that apparently nobody else caught on!
  

@Hailinel: I've never enjoyed the voice acting in a Final Fantasy game; so much so that by XIII, I actually wished I could just read the lines or have the original Japanese with subs.

I remember back in 2005 when the FF7 tech demo was released for the E3 announcement of the PS3, that was pretty much what Square said.  To paraphrase -- we have a few people here and there working on the FF7 project in their off time, but it's something we're not really focusing on at this time --.  It's been that many years, so it may have changed by now.  Who knows?
This one in case nobody knows what I mean:

  

  

 

i bet somebody's already been working on it for years, but nobody's said anything about it because it takes ten years to make a final fantasy game, apparently

FFVIII was pretty good, for a FF game. Other than VI and VIII, the rest of the series can burn for all I care. It's a shame that Tidus of FFX was wasted on a terrible game, he was arguably the best male lead character in the entire franchise. 

Sigh...forget making a FFVII remake, I just want my Kingdom Hearts III to be announced already...*shakes head*

FF VI deserves a remake more than VII imo.

You haven't explained what it is about the voice acting to consider its supposedly bad quality a trademark.  FFX's wasn't the best, but XII and XIII both had great voice acting.
