I was listening to Aerith's/Aeris theme on youtube and it got me into an FF7 mood. I came across a fan-made FF7 remake of the opening credits and menu. This got me thinking whether FF7 should be remade or not.

I'm more or less hoping it doesn't get remade. I mean it would be awesome to see what it would look like with better graphics but this game is a classic. If they remade it, they would make a classic game not so classic any more.

It should be left as it is.

Now I wait for the negative replys :D

haha, OMG, i watched the same thing today!!! thats freaky.

in a way i agree with u, i do want it remade jus for the sake of the graphics, and to see wat they would do with the battle system, and proly make a few changes to the story, but i dont want it remade coz u think they'll stuff it up and ruin it for future ff fans.

I only want it remade for the gfxs...that's it.

Everything else i want the same..including the character designs. Like sometimes when they remake...the characters look difference in the face then in original game design. (i don't mean the pixel character, but u know the official art they did how Cloud & the rest supposed to look)

i agree...and they had better keep the battle system the same...maybe patch up the glitches, but keep it the same!!

If they do, I'll be sad the W-Item Glitch will be gone :(

01-13-2010, 08:45 AM
haha, i dont think they'd get rid of that....that was put there intentionaly....if you have that item and know of the glitch, chances are your pretty powerful, so you dont overly need 99 megaelixers and what not....but still, it would be nice to get rid of some of the glitches, and make the game just that lil bit more challenging....also adding another optional boss at the end wouldnt be a bad idea XD

Ah yes...getting rid of Barret and Vincents Overflow glitch would be a start. And they need to make the Weapons harder and Sephiroth harder. Also the ability to fight Sapphire weapon...

And after we get the submarine, we should be able to see its body in the crater in the ocean. Or at least see it from the Underwater Mako reactor.

thats if it gets destroyed again, yes i agree....perhaps put a bit more about vincent in there as well...yes i know he has DoC, but thats not the point. he's the only character that doesnt really have a story for himslef in the game

What about Cait Sith or I should say Reeve. And they should make Vincent and Yuffie main storyline characters, not optional.

clief101_
01-16-2010, 09:20 AM
reeve would need a bit more yes....and i dont think they'd be able to do that, where would u be able to do it....Wutai is an optional place in itself

rissole25
01-16-2010, 11:22 AM
We could somehow get Yuffie at Costa De Sol. Or make it that we have to go to Wutai somehow. Or make it a boss fight along the way to Junon. And for Vincent, have the room with his coffin in front of the library room. That way, we have to get Vincent to advance the story line.

clief101_
01-16-2010, 11:33 AM
that could perhaps work....but in doing that, how would we then get odin? the same way but without getting the key?

rissole25
01-16-2010, 12:07 PM
I guess. He could be in the room with Vincent.

Do you mean it just being re-released? Or just remade into a whole new FFVII?

i think it should be remade....id like to see what they would do with it

im pretty sure they are though

Totally would love to see it re-made on the PS3... there's just something about FF7 that I just couldn't find in the rest of the FF series.

I think the only downsides would be, the wait, it'd take forever to remake a series either by rewriting things, or making an exact replica. And the other downside would be the voice acting, to this day, I still cannot stand Steve Burton or George Newbern. >_>

clief101_
02-16-2010, 11:58 AM
i like the voice acting actually

and it would take a while, but no longer than any other FF game

TherathxRikku
02-16-2010, 08:14 PM
George Newbern isn't actually a bad VA, he jsut ruined my image of Sephy, I always imagined Sephy to sound somewhat younger, I actually like Lance Bass' version of Sephy in KH1 better.

And Steve Burton started out with Cloud, so his image is ruined forever for me.

i like steve burton as cloud, it suits him

and i actualy thought sephy's voice suited him aswell

TherathxRikku
02-21-2010, 04:05 AM
After a while, George Newbern's voice kind of stuck to Sephy, I think he's a good Voice Actor anyway, Nooj is awesome. And Steve Burton as Cloud is pretty much how it's gonna stay, anyone sees Cloud, they think Steve Burton. He's a good voice for Cloud, although he could've done the scream in CC a little better, especially compared to Takahiro Sakurai.

But my point is, I just don't like the voices the way Square makes them play the characters. Sephy's voice is a little too deep to be cool, I think and Cloud is always depressed, execpt for CC since it was a prequel. So, the voices didn't play out well for me.

lol, well i disagree, i think they match the characters...but thats jus our dif opinions

TherathxRikku
02-23-2010, 09:42 PM
Which is gonna happen. :p

In my opinion, some of their voices match their characters while others don't.

I mean, I imagined Barret sounding like Mr T and I imagined Cloud's voice being lighter then what it is now. In some scenes, it just doesn't fit, while in others, it fits perfectly.

TherathxRikku

I find Marluxia's voice from Re:CoM an awesome voice, but it isn't how I imagined him at all, you guys should recognize him. lol

i agree, i didnt think barret would sound like that, i had a kinda mr T in my head aswell....vincent fitted...red XIII definetly didnt fit!! neither did cid

It sounds familiar yet I can't tell who it is. And yea I didn't think it would sound like that. When I first saw him in KH2, I actually thought it was a girl because of the hair.

TherathxRikku

It's Keith Ferguson, voice of Gabranth in Dissidia, this time with an American accent. It's rather creepy.

I actually thought Cid would sound like that, though not such a thick accent, it's heavier than mine. lol Vincent as Zabuza was the perfect match. And Red XIII only spoke one line, so I didn't think much of it.

clief101_
02-26-2010, 11:19 PM
which kinda sucked, i thought he'd talk more :(

i found his voice too light and soft

TherathxRikku
03-01-2010, 08:38 AM
You were expecting Red XIII to sound like an old man?

rissole25
03-02-2010, 05:24 AM
Well he is like 48yo I think in whatever species of animal he is. But he's 16 (18 in AC) in human years. So I guess it kinda does make sense.

clief101_
03-02-2010, 09:55 AM
i didnt think he'd sound old...but i didnt expect to hear his voice like that either...

TherathxRikku

Blame Liam o' Brien, voice of Gaara. lol

03-04-2010, 11:31 AM
?? dont go naming voice actors, i dont pay attention to that

TherathxRikku
03-04-2010, 07:43 PM
Liam o' Brien played Red XIII in AC.

03-09-2010, 11:59 AM
i figured as much...wow, wat a voice...7 words

TherathxRikku
03-09-2010, 08:50 PM
They didn't even have to hire someone, Tetsuya could've spoke English and it would've sounded cool.

clief101_
03-10-2010, 10:14 AM
LMAO, so true....i was mad he only got 7 words....'There are still children with the stigma'

TherathxRikku
03-10-2010, 11:04 PM
He was a badass character and they screwed him over!

clief101_
03-11-2010, 10:26 AM
EXACTLY!! wen i first watched it, i didnt know if it was him or cait sith talking, coz cait sith was always on his head and red's mouth is like, always open. at the time (before i saw the end of the movie) i was like "hell no. please no"

TherathxRikku
03-11-2010, 10:57 AM
I didn't think Cait Sith would sound like that either, although it kind of fits him...

clief101_
03-11-2010, 11:08 AM
it dus fit him, but if that was red's voice, i think i woulda shot myself...they couldnt have dun that to him

I really don't think they'd get it right so I hope they don't do a remake, I know I'd buy it all the same if they did though.
I'm pretty sure they'll make one though, they already mentioned it a fair few times this year alone. Maybe this year they'll announce it.

http://kotaku.com/5497116/ffxiii-director-wants-to-remake-final-fantasy-vii

If this Toriyama remakes it then I guess we can expect it to have more action in. I hope he isn't the director if they do make it over..let him stick to being the Event Planner.

TherathxRikku
03-30-2010, 11:01 PM
I think it should be the original team to remake it, that way no one screws it up, it should stay basically the same, but with new improvements, I mean, with all the spin offs, they basically HAVE to change the story a little. >_>

Gumdrop
03-31-2010, 07:01 AM
They defiantly would have to change the story some since it seems rather dated now as well as that. Would like to see them put back in the bits that were left out when translating for the over seas copies so that one be one reason to want a remake.
Pff..they will so screw this up. :p
I can see it being a good game, but not doing VII justice.

TherathxRikku
03-31-2010, 09:34 AM
I might be able to play through it, though. If they up Cloud's goofiness to a noticeable level, then I might bother. Nothing's better than "Let's Mosey." coming from no one but Cloud.

rissole25
04-02-2010, 01:20 AM
They also need to describe how Cloud got out of the jail sell at Shinra HQ.

Didn't Sephiroth kill the guard and open it?

clief101_
04-03-2010, 02:35 AM
yeh he did...well actualy jenova did, sephiroth is controlling jenova through the whole game...and makes her loook like him. so ur actualy chasing jenova around the world not sephy. u dont see him until cloud gives him the black materia

TherathxRikku
04-03-2010, 06:20 AM
I figured that out when you always fight some form of Jenova when you confront Sephiroth. All of which are pathetic with the right elemental ring.

04-08-2010, 09:29 AM
true, and if u r a about 1-2 levels higher than u would normally be also helps

TherathxRikku
04-10-2010, 01:11 AM
Bosses were easy, then hard, then easy, then hard...

clief101_
04-10-2010, 01:16 AM
and some were jus impossibly hard lol

TherathxRikku
04-10-2010, 01:18 AM
Red Dragon was actually easy after leveling for a while, Demon Wall went down in about three limit breaks.

clief101_
04-10-2010, 01:21 AM
if ur a high level yes, if ur a normal level for that area its REALY hard

TherathxRikku
04-10-2010, 01:29 AM
I was level 45, I made sure not to make the same mistake.

clief101_
04-10-2010, 01:32 AM
thats a very high level for the demon wall lol

The other day on their Japanese Twitter they asked fans for their thoughts on a VII remake (seems kinda pointless since they must already know..) and then hours later asked what they thought of one for VIII. Maybe one for VIII will come about as well as one for VII.
