It's not a RUMOR!

[Tifa-chan]

Alright, so I am really confedent that all of us here on FFnet know about the huge debate as to weather or not they are remaking VII. Well I cannot go on and around saying "Yes yes they are making VII" because we can't conferm as of yet if they have even started working on it, however I can wholy tell you that Tetsuya Nomura has confermed, that yes indeed, he wishes to re-make Final Fantasy VII. Although this interview took place, quite some time ago, in 2005 in fact, Tetsuya-sama told 1Up that he DID want to remake VII.

Quoted from www.ff7acmovie.com

"On a smoldering Tokyo day, 1UP sat down with Tetsuya Nomura (director of Kingdom Hearts II and Final Fantasy VII Advent Children) for an exclusive one-on-one interview. Not only did Nomura grant 1UP exclusive access at Square-Enix's recent Summer Party (located at the Makuhari Messe, where Tokyo Game Show is about to begin in just a few days), he also agreed to let us film him on video -- although the reclusive developer opted to remain obscured from the camera by his hat.

While his presence may be minimal, his words resounded throughout the room. For the first time ever, Nomura admitted freely that, should he find the time once all of his current projects are completed, he would like to take the mouth-watering Final Fantasy VII tech demo for PlayStation 3 and turn it into the complete remake for which fans of the original have been clamoring for years. He then went on to cover all manner of topics, including the just-released-in-Japan FFVII: Advent Children, and the upcoming Kingdom Hearts sequel. Check out the video to see what other surprises Nomura reveals in our exclusive meeting with Square-Enix's most prolific creator."

[Spec Highwind]

Yeah, I said that more than once, I guess... But he also said that they don't have the time for it.

[Hydra]

Wanting to is definately different than actually doing.

[Drake]

Plus, if it actually does get remade, I doubt any game could live up to the anticipation and hype that would surround a remake of FF7 for the PS3.

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah that would be amazing.

[Hydra]

Amazingly nostalgic.

Seriously, unless they make it BETTER than the PS version, which is probably going to be a no-go. Capturing magic like that twice is nothing short of a miracle.

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah I might not ever play it because the first FF 7 was so good you know?

[Tifa-chan]

*nods* True true, but this is Square Enix we are talking about and Tetsuya-sama, we know they are mirical workers, and I have faith in them. Also I am sure that were Tetsuya-sama really wants to re-make it, that he has probebly made time to work on it after his current projects, and to be honest, his current projects are becoming close to done. Still yes this could take a while. I still go back to the whole tech-demo. Why show it if you know you are going to get fans all roudied up, and then know that you will have tons of dissapointed fans if you say no? I think SE is just testing the water and seeing what happens when they do that. With the reaction, they must know that a re-make could be a potentionaly HUGE hit. I also know that if they do desided to do it, that yes they do have A LOT to live up too, and know that fans will be expecting a lot. But again this is SE we are talking about. I have faith in them. I believe that if anyone was to try and pull it off, and have it work, it would be them to do it. For example, take the Final Fantasy titles that have been remade already. They are doing quite well. So why not believe they could pull VII off? Just a few thoughts to ponder over.

Excellent point. With all the FF7 projects that have occured recently it seems logical that a remake of the source material isn't far behind...

[Tifa-chan]

*nods* With Square anything really is possible and unprodictable. I mean yes there is still the good chance of it never being remaid, this I am well aware of, and fear, but as a fan I like to look a the positive side.

[Phoenix Flame]

...as I choose to do also. I am hopeful - but do not expect it...at least not anytime soon.

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah I know right lol

[Tifa-chan]

*startsprayingtogameinggods*

[Gackt Camui]

Gaming gods. You know there is such a thing right?

[Tifa-chan]

yes and why do you think I am praying to them?

[Drake]

...as I choose to do also. I am hopeful - but do not expect it...at least not anytime soon.

Same here. If it happens, I predict the FF7 remake to be released near the end of the PS3's lifespan, which may possibly coincide with the 15th anniversary of FF7. Hmm....

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah that makes a lot of sense you know Drake!?

[Drake]

Thanks. They could even use the voice actors from Advent Children. Vincent and Yuffie's voices were EXACTLY as I imagined them. And Elena's.

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah I think they should use the voice actors...they were good. Vincent....*swoon* But that guy that actually plays his voice is...rather creepy looking.

[Tifa-chan]

Aw common Steven Blum is an awsome voice actor kelley. Yes I agree. Accually all the voices, for me, fit the characters quite well. For once a desent American dub! Praze the Gaming gods!

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah he is an awesome voice actor...I just wish he kinda looked more like Vincent thats all. But thats asking for a lot I know...thats nearly immposible.

[Tifa-chan]

Enless you are looking at Emono Haouin. He is famous just for looking like and cosplaying Vincent. Seriously! LOOK!

[Gackt Camui]

I know you have showed him to me before....but he doesn't sound like Vincent...and he still has nothing on him

[Tifa-chan]

*nods* well he isn't a real person, vincent i mean, so its hard

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah true...but boy if he was....

[Tifa-chan]

then he would have to live in a sacluded place with tons of body gaurds to protect him from rabid fan girls such as myself

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah I know right. We would find a way around those body guards Tifa.

[Tifa-chan]

oh hell ya

[Gackt Camui]

Or we could just fight our way through them lol *thinks*

[Tifa-chan]

which would be more sexy and evil?

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah it would! Unless some of them are hot...which I doubt...but you never know. Anyways. Maybe we could convert the hot ones to our side?

[Tifa-chan]

O_o good idea

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah doesn't it sound it?

[Tifa-chan]

kelley you always have the best ideas!

[Gackt Camui]

I know thats because I am the shite.

[Tifa-chan]

er...no comment

[Gackt Camui]

You know its true. I am funny as heck. Thats all that ready matters

[Tifa-chan]

sure you are kelley, you keep telling yourself that >.>

[Gackt Camui]

Whatever, you laugh your ass off almost every morning. So you know I am funny.

[Tifa-chan]

Those are laughs of being scared by a crazy person what are you talking about XD

[Gackt Camui]

Sure right whatever you say lol. You have any idea how off topic this is? lol

[Tifa-chan]

not a clue XD

[Gackt Camui]

It's very very very off topic. What was it even about neways?

[Tifa-chan]

I don't remembers XD

[Gackt Camui]

Rumor about something... :D

[Tifa-chan]

ph about how they do intend to re-make seven, that they are just waiting for the time to remake it.

[Gackt Camui]

Oh yeah okay....now I remember. Everybody hopes they do it. But I do and don't want them to you know? Because even though I know they aren't changing the story line...and just enhancing the graffics. Why can't they just leave the game alone and let it go down in history as one of the best GAMES ever?

[Tifa-chan]

um...it already has and always be anyhow? A remakes just helps add to it all!

[dappa]

i'd love to see it done, who knows, maybe in years and years to come it could happen. We've all seen things which have been told would never happen take place years later when the technology was available to do it. Fingers crossed they do it one day.

[Tifa-chan]

expect it end of 08 and into 09. They are going to make it, just waiting for the right time to do it. Insiders hint in the next two years

[Gackt Camui]

I would like them to do it but as I said. They better not change a single thing except for enhance the graffics and such. The story doesn't need to be better. Its already perfect.

[shadowfreak]

i dont see why they would want to change anything, but i had a realy great example of a game being re-released, but i forgot what it was... :/

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah thats exactly what I am saying. They do not need to change nething. I don't care if you think the fans will like it or not. Don't bother. Because theres a big chance that we won't because we already like it the way it is.

[Tifa-chan]

>.> I still want a remake. I think they know very well if they were to change anything about it other than graphics, and glitches, that no one would be happy. I don't even think they would be happy. Maybe that is why they are a little hesatent about doing it. Again though, they already know the game is loved by millions, and they saw the reaction from the tech demo. So I think they will, they just want to take time, so they don't mess anything up, is all.

[Gackt Camui]

Yeah I think they should redo it and junk. Totally. They just really have to be careful about what they are doing is all. No rush process becasue if just anything is different. I am sure we will all catch it. lol. So thats good that they are taking their time. That will make the fans all happy and totally worth waiting for.

[mystery]

this is the offical trailer for final fantasy 7 on ps3!!! ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2ueeRcb1i4 <----

[Gackt Camui]

Thankey Mystery. That is something that Tifa has probably already seen though lol

[Tifa-chan]

That's not offical. That's the tech demo for E3. There is nothing offical yet, because of the fact "Oh we're not remaking it. What on earth are you talking about?" *wisperwispertonomura* "I think we better do it!"

[mystery]

well they should do it cause the game kicks @$$

[Tifa-chan]

ah they will give them another year. Bet by the end of this year you will hear something. They can't hide it forever.

[Gackt Camui]

No, especially from like pushy fans that have people on the inside that work with or close to the company.

[mystery]

like reporters who secretly go into the building at night in ninja costumes and hack into the computers to get the data!!!

i have a vivid imagineation...

[Tifa-chan]

I like that idea. Now I want to do it!

[Gackt Camui]

Good luck with that one...first you need to get to Japan..and then from there you need to learn how to be like a Ninja and for you...who is clumsy sometimes might be a task.

[Tifa-chan]

Hey I am getting better though, so I will do it! *getsinNinjaoutfit* >.>

<.<

*sneeksintosquareenixbuildingintoatopsecretroomwit hcomputerswithsecretthingsonthem*

[Gackt Camui]

*walks quietyly through the door and pins Tifa up against the computer* I don't think so, stealing private Square information is not as easy as you think Miss! I will not let you get away! *quickly rips off Tifas hood revealing who she is* HA! I knew it was you. *radios in security* You will pay for what you have done! (don't ask...I wanted to rpg too!)

They failed miserably on FF13....
