New FFVII Game? (NOT Remake?)

[OWA-2]

That being said, I still only want a remake, like I've been saying for many years now. Really, I could care less about the compilation. It'd be nice if they finished it but I'm not holding my breath...I just want a remake.

A remake that will retcon some things of the original story, to fit it with the Compilation.

 

[Dashell]

Yeah the only way I'd want a remake is if they didn't retcon a bunch of shit... but they will so... I don't want one. The story is fine the way it is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[Marle]

Depends on what they retcon and how much of it they retcon. If it's major, plot retconning, then I agree. But I think SE might try leaving it as is because they know the changes will upset their fanbase.

If they change/ruin it or whatever, we still have the original and nothing will ever touch that.

Actually they need to do something new, a game or a movie, and finish it with that one.I will love a new one with Cloud as protagonist again and Genesis as antagonist, there should be an epic plot twist where Genesis actually is a good guy and decieve the heroes thinking that he was evil, + somehow expulsing Genova and Sephiroth(wicht they return again in some sort of godly fusion final boss battle style) out of the planet and being the hero he once dream(costing his life and this time he unites with minerva)

long story short, Genesis plays the villian in order to lure Sephiroth and Genova(plus the cells too, thats where Cloud come in to play) and kick them out of the planet

(Sephiroth should get purified since he also originally was an human embryon, but it will cost his life and reunites with the planet)

I would love to see another game. Dirge was an abortion of a game and the acting in it was terrible so they pretty much destroyed a beautiful storyline with crap voice acting BUT that doesnt mean they will do it again...right?
I guess it will be a long time until they do it either way as they are too busy making repetative, bland, linear, boring and over produced RPG's for the time being so its a long wait.

 

[AerithLives]

I'd like to see another Final Fantasy 7 film or an animated series. I hate modern games, they bore the hell out of me. They are lifeless and hollow. I loved Advent Children Complete (though I didnt like Advent Children much). I would like to see them tackle something big like the relationship between Tifa and Cloud.

 

[Soakette]

I would like to see the novels made. Just like they did with case of Denzel. I like anime style but I think i would prefer it in CGI. Do all the OTWTAS stories and The Turks Lateral Biography.

 

[Unlucky]

The novellas being made into films will do it for me, it will certainly clear up a lot of things (esp Case of Tifa) and will do the Compilation more good than taking a risk with a new game with shitty characters/repetitive plot.

 

[PhantomSephiroth]

They're to busy with all the FFXIII shit.

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

I want to see a new FFVII game made to resolve the cliffhanger at the end of DC, and then I want a FFVII remake to be made to fill in all the plot holes the compilation has made.

 

[FLo]

I want to see a FFVII remake to see the whole game with better graphics, because for me, born in the new generation its so hard to stand those lego things, they' re unable to make you catch all the feelings and the emotions expressed by every character, and that' s for me is a "problem" for legen dary game such a FF7; and ofc I want a ff7 remake just to see new fresh life running through our favorite game, to renew the passion just one more time.

funny, in some way i feel FFX's graphic older than FFVII, maybe because FFVII has a much older graphic.

 

[JBedford]

I never really got why everyone wants to see an FFVII remake. Especially when people don't want any changes, retcons, or references linking it in with the rest of the Compilation.

What do people want in a remake? Better graphics? Perhaps a better translation? But people complain about the PC version removing some of the badly translated lines . Voice acting? Well, I've heard a lot of people say they definitely don't want that.

Personally, I don't care for graphics. But I feel that even if they did remake FFVII exactly as it is, only updating the graphics, a lot of people will be disappointed.

Play the PC mod vers. Bye bye, "lego things!"

FFVII is highly regarded for having a depth of emotion to its story despite its graphical limitations. It seems that quite the opposite has happened with the FF series of late. In that now they've got the tools to produce more compelling drama, they can't even make people act like human beings.

and ofc I want a ff7 remake just to see new fresh life running through our favorite game, to renew the passion just one more time.

Yeeeah... they tried that with the Compilation. It didn't work.

Hello all, I just thought that I would start my reply by saying that I'm a new poster and I don't want to rock the boat too much, but this thread caught my interest so I thought it worth chiming in.

Anyway, I think this debate gets to the heart of what is wrong with SE (for my money it's been downhill since the merger, really). As a longtime fan (since the SNES days), I think the series lost the formula they keep claiming to want to get back to: Create one self contained story, loosely connected by the RPG gameplay, a Chocobo or Mog here and there, but leave it at that. The beauty of it was that you always wanted more, and at first you were angry never to get to see your favorite characters again (how I felt with IV and VI for sure, anyway) but then the next game in the series came along and you were left with only good memories and single coherent vision for the plot while embracing the new. Each game ideally would top the next (even if that didn't always happen), and the series and SquareSoft were healthy as well.

This new model, wherein old stories and characters keep getting rehashed (not to mention cell phone games that are cash grab schemes) just undermines all of that. To me, FFVI will always feel like an SNES game, and FFVII will always feel like a PSX game. Sometimes it's better to be left wanting more, than wishing you hadn't been given so much dreck.

See, I would disagree by saying that X had a very generic graphic style and resembled most other games on the PS2, whereas VII had a truly unique graphic style. Whether you feel it holds up or not, it was memorable and not like any other game before or since.

I actually was thinking maybe SE should have a novella series based on Sephiroth's childhood and his time in the Wutai War.I was always interested in those two aspects of his life that never seemed to be explored or even adressed that much.I mean the Wutai War should have been I think more focused in Crisis Core but instead they had to focus it on the bane of the Compliation.Also a look at Sephiroth's childhood could explain why he hated Hojo so much.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I never got the impression that Sephiroth hated him, much less "so much." More like he held him in contempt.

 

[Geostigma.]

I think they should do another movie to finish off the storyline but thats just me.

 

[CameoAmalthea]

I wouldn't mind another movie.

I like the compilation, but I don't think people were as interested in the Genesis story Arc as Square thought they would be. However, they spent a good deal of time leading up to Dirge (it's hinted at in BC, and ties into Genesis's story in CC) and I kind of want to know where they were going with that even if I don't really care that much, I feel like I want to see the whole picture so I can at least judge it in it's entirety.

I want to know what the point of all that was...

 

[ForceStealer]

I'd prefer an honest-to-goodness RPG featuring all the characters.

 

[OniRaitei]

I'd really like them to make another FFVII game or movie that will either complete the story or at least move it forward and make way for future installments. Cloud or Tifa would be the lead role with most or preferably all the other (living; no returns from the dead) characters as well. I wouldn't be interested in anything that isn't post DoC. Like I said, moving forward.

 

[Knuxson]

I'd prefer an honest-to-goodness RPG featuring all the characters.

I agree with this. Kind of like a Final Fantasy VII-II. It would be the ultimate way to say goodbye to take control of all the characters again. I would want the main 8 characters to be in center stage. I mean, the Turks are cool and all, but they got way more screen time than most of the main characters during the compilation.

I also wouldn't mind a remake, but I would prefer a graphics update and retranslation like they did for some of the older final fantasys. There are so many lines in the game that would make way more sense with a better translation. FF7's story can be confusing as is, so a bad translation makes it much worse.

Other than that, maybe add in a new end-game dungeon or something, but little else. I could maybe accept voice acting too, as I feel they did a pretty good job with most of the voice cast in the compilation. But if the plot and story were changed much at all, I would be pretty POed. Which is of course everyone's fear given Square's track record of late.

 

[CameoAmalthea]

With voice actors it depends. I really didn't like Aerith's voice actress in Crisis Core (Andrea Bowen), and I doubt they'd use Mena Suvari again (and I will never understand why they couldn't have kept Mandy Moore).

 

[Unlucky]

I'm one of the few who like Steve Burton's voice as Cloud (the voice acting is another matter). I can listen to the man talk all day hhhhngggh
