I would love to see the original mini-games in the Remake as arcade games in a retro section or something along with the remade mini-games that will be in certain sections of the game like the motorcycle chase.

I don't remember if it was or not, but they can still change it. The character doesn't even have to be Cloud. Just use random characters. Keeping all of those games with the ps1 graphics will give it that retro feel. Especially for everyone that played this game back when it first came out (or a few years after)

Lol they should all definitely be beatable

I like what oty said. Have a retro version so it really looks like a video game that they're playing. Then have the sequence in the remake so you can replay it. At least that way, people can choose which one they would rather do. Personally, I'd do the ps1 version. It was really cool when Uncharted 4 did that with Crash Bandicoot.

I predict they'll be post-launch DLC for Red XIII depicting when he was captured by Shinra.
Considering Red XIII will already have some battle animations in Part 1, and they'll likely be developing Cosmo Canyon for Part 2, and SE has said they're considering ways to fill the time between releases, I think it just makes sense. Plus, he's the best character to expand on because of his limited screen time.
No comment if it'll incorporate Compilation elements.

Oh, what I meant about the bike game was that it seems there will be two different versions of it in the remake - I was wondering which of the remake versions they would use at the Gold Saucer for the minigame - trio version or Midgar escape version? Or allow us to choose which one?

A playable Red XIII DLC is something I would begrudgingly purchase. Perhaps when Part 2 comes out you’ll be able to patch Part 1 with a playable option (or keep him as a guest?) but I don’t think they’d do something like that, sadly.
I really love the narrative twist of “oh this monster isn’t our enemy, he’s our ally — not only our ally, but a full-fledged party member who comes with his own materia!” It was a really special moment for me, and there’s something less punchy about a guest, although what we do get out of the change is being able to have Red XIII “on our team” without taking up a party slot.
It’s both exciting and frustrating... like everything else FF7R related haha.

Maybe they would do something like 15s DLCs (Gladio, Ignis and Prompto). Maybe showing what he was up to prior to being captured?

I'm torn on this: on one hand, I don't think they should bother with any significant DLC at all (costumes at most) and instead work on part 2. On the other hand, I'll take any bit of Red XIII I can get in the remake.

From what I heard, they are already working on part 2. As long as any DLC doesn't take too much time away from that, I wouldn't mind. Or release a short movie like the Ardyn prologue

I thought someone might eventually get around to mentioning this but maybe it's never crossed anyone's minds.
Most of Cloud's skills in the Remake are either inspired by his OG Limit Breaks (Braver and Cross-slash) or entirely new creations (Operator/Punisher Mode).
But one skill so far has clearly been lifted from somewhere else.
I could've sworn I've seen this move before...
I think that's hilariously awesome they've kept that move for Cloud. I guess they figured it was iconic

I was fully expecting that second spoiler to be Dante's "Stinger" from Devil May Cry 
I didn't remember that from KH, nice.

I mentioned it during one of our trailer analysis videos actually
The one I compared it to was where Cloud does multiple of these in a row though, and that move also has a different name in the Remake.

This would totally make the game immediately retain the same feel as the OG. The Ocarina of Time / Majora’s Mask remakes, even if they were remade at similar limitations, kept their moods largely to the fact all the sounds were the same.
In a probably more relevant example, DMC5 still uses the menu sounds from DMC1 even though it is a much more advanced game. And FFVII-R would immediately feel more like FFVII if the menu sounds were the same. The limitbreak sound, too.

On the topic of the Golden Saucer, I’m super curious what they do with it. I hope they keep the carnival-like music (a lot of the remake seems to be more orchestrated) and I hope they make it feel like a genuine festival area. People bustling, lots of fun commotion, and so on! And keeping things like the goofy slides to get to the different sectors. Agreed that the games should be PSX quality, too. (with the exception of the “IRL” games, like the shooting hoops one.
Having gameplay on some of the mini games that’s more than just pressing a button at the right time would also be ideal.
