^^Awesome, if they made a remake I would definitely buy it. Although, it seems that the main creators are against the idea. It really seems so counter intuitive, AC introduced a plethora of new fans to the game and I can't speak for all the old fans, but I would definitely buy it if it became available. I would love to freely explore the FFVII world in that graphic quality..

SE needs to stop acting like a bride choosing between the pink and lavender flowers and just say 'YES THIS REMAKE WILL BE MADE' or 'NO FUCK YOU'.

I want Toriyama to stay the fuck away from my FFVII. He can go direct another FF and do what he pleases.

Down boy, that article is wrong. That interview is here: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/history-of-final-fantasy/61856#new_comment And Kitase said that stuff, not Toriyama.

BAWWWWWW.
I just want a yes or a no.
Actually, I'd rather have a no, because by the time this would come out, I wouldn't be dossing around with my life.
Ahh, well I'm kinda iffy on Kitase too. But he's not a director period, so
Didn't he direct VII?

I'll stick to my opinion of: I would like to see it be remade, BUT I would want it to be mainly a graphics update. Then they could retranslate and correct grammatical errors, but I wouldn't want them going back and retconning the hell out of it. (Though that's highly possible.)
Finally, adding in some additional sidequests and dungeons would be interesting. I had said in another thread that, just as an example, when you go to get the Materia with your special Chocobo, rather than just walking into the empty cave and picking up the materia, perhaps it could be a dungeon to explore instead?

Wouldn't it be irresponsible to not update the current narrative to at least allude to all of the shit that SE has added to the setting/timeline/events in the Compilation?

I think they could probably do that with only some minor changes from the original version.
Which part, the article, or our reactions?

The main issue I have always had with ideas of "remakes" is that they can sometimes destroy the game. Twin Snake's did everything I did not want it to. With graphical power comes responsibility and I honestly can't see them sticking to a proper remake with a few improvements. What we will get is 100 hour cutscenes with Sephiroth and Cloud flying through the air. Some might like that but I think that kind of thing destroys a game. They also won't altar some of the translation errors which have now become canon. The only good thing from my pov would be the better dialogue translation, but by the time they get round to doing it, we will have done it and in parts much better than they ever will. I just hope that if they do remake it, that they stick to the main plot. No retcons, no messing with the core plot or make up. ---if this post is in 1 huge mess, again that is not my fault.

All of it. SE's constant acknowledgments and shootdowns of fan's hopes, and the ensuing shitstorms.

It's pretty damn ridiculous, really.
They should just shut up about the issue instead of being like "We're not making a remake. BUT MAYBE WE WILL. But actually it's too difficult. BUT WE STILL LIKE TO DO IT. Fans and staffers alike want it. BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE MADE ANYWAY."
The remake has become a running joke.

The worst part about this whole thing is that Japanese developers pretty much make themselves unavailable to their Western audiences, so we can't call them out on their bullshit.
At least with games like Mass Effect (where the writers/character designers/art directors/gameplay editors sometimes DIRECTLY ANSWER fan questions on their message boards), or games like Assassins Creed 2 (which, due to listening to their fans and the players, is an improvement on almost every single flaw in the first game to the point of crazyness), or Fallout (the first two games had an Ultimania like book(s) comprised almost entirely of written in, fan questions about the game world, setting, and characters) we can't voice our opinions to them at all.
I'm not expecting direct answers to the mysteries of FFVII on a message board from Nomura or whatever, but at least make yourselves available to your western audiences, considering we drop cold hard cash on your games just like your Japanese audience does.
It's part of the reason why Western games are becoming more popular, because the people who make the games aren't so fucking inaccessible.

I rather prefer they leave it alone than to remake the thing and fuck it up.

I'd rather they remake it and improve upon an already great game rather than not out of fear of butthurt purist fans.
You can't "ruin" what FF7 was. It will always be FF7, a remake won't change that.
That said I can live without, especially if it'd go the way of 13.`

Agreed. However, a legitimate fear with remakes is that their 'canon' logically overrides the canon for the original game. A badly botched remake of a game, film, or whatever has the potential to seriously fuck the canon of a fictional world/setting up.
It's one thing it a remake was feared because the battle system might be bad, but it's entirely justified if fans are wary of a remake because of the possibility of SE fucking up the canon irreversibly.
