Fans have been pleading for a remake of Final Fantasy VII for years now. Finally, last year Yoichi Wada, the president of Square Enix, came out and made the remake plans official. Final Fantasy VII: Jenova’s Rebirth is slated for a 4th quarter 2012 release.
Yoichi Wada, the president and chief executive of Square Enix, said that the company has “heard its fans’ pleadings to remake FFVII”, which was released over 14 years ago for the PS1.
Prior to this Wada had said “Right now we don’t have a clear direction, but many fans have requested we remake Final Fantasy VII, we’re going to explore the possibility – whether or not we’re going to do it, if we’re going to do it, and the platform.”
Previously, Final Fantasy XIII director Motomu Toriyama said Final Fantasy VII was the remake he wanted to do most. “If we can get the number of people we need by all means that would be the one I would really want to remake.”
Although there have been many “Final” Fantasy’s released over the years, none have done as well as Final Fantasy 7. A remake of the game will bring tears to the eyes of old school gamers and give newer, younger gamers a chance to play the lone wolf Cloud and experience Aeris, Sephiroth, Jenova, and Midgar for the first time.
I for one, cannot wait!

Is this for real or is it a late April Fools’ joke?
A.D.,
If you take a closer look, this is an article with a mixture of scenes from FF7: Advent Children, the E3 stage demo of the PS3 console (which was never intended as a FF7 remake), and fan art. I just started playing playing FF7, and while I would love to see a remake and for this to be true, sadly, it is not. For now, it is just a fan’s dream.
This ain cool man, TAKE THIS ARTICLE DOWN NOW!!! Square is not the type of company that would disclose so much information at one time, not to mention a video of the game’s menu options at work; they know we dont give a damn about seeing that. But I really wouldnt be surprised if a remake was slowly being put together bit by bit amidst the production of other main titles. Unfortunately, Its going to take too much time and effort for FF7 to be remade for ps3 and 360. Like they said before, creating HD towns would be extremely cumbersome and timeconsuming. And recreating a 3D/HD midgar and shinra will prolly take—-sheeesh, I dont even wanna know how long.
Alot of people out there are reading this article, I hope noone slits their wrist when they find out this was just another april fools prank.
Tyrell,
Everyone knows black people don’t play video games. GTFO with your negativity.
I’m not sure what your intentions are in this comment, but know this:
RACIST OR SEXIST COMMENTS ON NERDTREK.COM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
There’s only one race, the human race.
Then why don’t you delete it?
I left it as a warning to others to refrain from posting comments of that nature.
all kidding aside…Is this a joke or not,….Please lemme know before I get too excited
Thank u soo much for ur help
naw if bethesdia can make oblivion and skyrim then square can remake ff7
square already stated they have to many projects under the wings right now and it would take 2 or 3 times as long as it did for the psx version so it would take 7 to 10 in a half years to make there beter just waiting for next gen consouls and remakeing it for them
I’m totally stoked about this!!! I LOVE FF7′s storyline and characters. I finally beat FF7 in 2007, and I had played it for about a year prior to that, and wow, it was a good game, a good long play, and just… I CAN’T FREAKIN’ WAIT FOR THIS!!!!!!!!
<3
Too bad it’s fake…
if they can t make a remake they could just give us the old ff7 which is now out of stock…. and i cant fucking download it from playstation store because we dont have a credit card……..
You can still download the game without a credit card. You can buy a prepaid playstation network card and do it that way. It is $10. I just downloaded it and I couldn’t have spent a better ten bucks
i cant wait for this game to come out it is by far the best ff ever made. i just hope thay dont change the way the game is played and the menu screen. leveling up the matirea was one of the best things about the game and i hope thay keep that the same
Personally, I still love the original game, If they do make a remake it would be fantastic but not a necessity.
Although, with people constantly rebuking all claims that it will happen I would just like to put my 2 cents in.
People are constantly talking about how long it took to make XIII, how much longer it would take to make VII to the same quality and how SO many more people would be needed to make it possible. But no one seems to mention the fact that the developers were working with a whole new system than what they were used to when they started making XIII, hence the need for additional staff and hours to make the game. The additional staff were more than likely employed to assist and teach existing staff how to use it. So, obviously now they are now cutting back on employees, probably because those that were brought in for XIII are no longer needed as they have taught the original developers what they needed to know.
They already have the character designs from the making of Advent Children and much of the layout. Yes, they would have to take a lot out of the game to make the idea realistic, for example the world map would probably be out as they did on XIII and free use of airships etc which they discarded in X anyway.
Any reasonable people will understand that obvious sacrifices would have to be made and that it would not be exactly the same, and anyone that believes it would be needs a slap round the head for being so foolish.
But it seems to me that they now have the knowledge and basic means to do it in a shorter time than people believe it would take, people keep saying they would have to start from scratch, but with them having Advent Children as a design base and using all they learned while making XIII, that is hardly the case.
I hope square enix see how much this game means to a lot of people and do decide to remake. I will definitely be one to buy it as FF VII was the reason I bought my PS1 almost 14 years ago like so many others and do play it sometimes now, It is not a huge loss to me if they don’t remake it, but I believe it will be to them.
Concerning the other article linked here, it is said the ‘mights’ and ‘maybes’ mean that they will not make it. Well, in most places in the world they also could be positive. It has simply turned around the implications of the statements made by square enix to make it a resounding NO, where those that are hopeful for a remake have taken them be a YES. Don’t be so cruel as to try and crush peoples hopes, if they want to believe it will happen then it is their choice.
To all those complaining about these forums starting, if you didn’t care about it at all then why are you looking at forums about it? You quite obviously do care if you have come in to read about. So what if people talk about this too much, it gives square enix all the more reason to remake it for those that want it.
Again, I would like this to happen. I will still keep looking for forums about it whenever I get the chance until I hear an official ‘yes’ or ‘no’
Thank you Jonathan for this, the images alone, even if they are fan-made, make me believe I will want it even more if/when they decide to do this, and don’t give up hope when no one actually knows what they will do next until they say so.
Thanks Natalya, I hope they remake it too. It was one of my all time favorite games and my favorite FF game (although FF 4 is a hot second!).
That’s cool that you choose to have a positive outlook and read into the “maybe” and “might” comments as a strong possibility that they may in fact work on a remake.
If you think about it, why wouldn’t they want a remake? Do you have any idea how much $$ would roll in to Square-Enix should they choose to do this? I think it would be important to retain the original feeling of the game though and rehire some of the staff that worked on the original FF7 to make sure everything flows right. Otherwise it would be like a rock band playing a cover song.
Your comment is well thought out… so well thought out I would like to offer you the chance to write for NERD TREK. Would you be interested? If so, please contact me via the CONTACT US link below.
Thank you Natalya!
Hi everyone. To be fair to Natalya’s comment, I did not just turn the mights and maybes into Nos. Toriyama and Kitase said it was infeasible to do. Wada has said that he only wants titles to be produced in 2 years tops, and that the production team would never spend that much time on one game again. Wada has said he wants the company to make less graphically intensive and more family friendly games. All this tells me that they aren’t gonna do it.
Just because they have the resources to make FF13 does not mean making FF7 will be significantly faster. A ten year process (as Kitase reckons) might be sped up to 5 years, but its still too long. A FF7 remake, since its a completely different game, would have to be remade from the ground up, and a new game engine would have to be built. Toriyama has already publicly announced that there wouldn’t be one, and there is no advertising at all.
Now this might change. Square Enix might do the reasonable thing and recruit some programmers and artists from the fans and make a staff several thousand strong. The company might say, “to hell with profits, lets spend the next ten years doing nothing but making a FF7 remake at the expanse of making any new games”. But I don’t think this is going to happen.
You can read The FFFanatic’s article on Final Fantasy 7 here:
http://nerdtrek.com/final-fantasy-7-remake-foreseeable-future/
This comment on this topic is quite possibly my favorite because of her outlook on it. Although, one thing I have to debate is the models in Advent Children as the basis of the character designs to the game and sacrifices to be made. Firstly, the Advent Children models would be far too highend to even give any form of remake justice to the VII world because they’d have to make every character encountered including monsters, locations, etc. to that caliber. In which case would take far too much memory and time. XIII on the other hand would be a proper balance but you’re right again, they would have to annex the open world side of it and limit it to that perspective, removing the airships/chocobo’s/other vehicles. But at the same time, thats what would kill the marketability of the game itself. I can honestly say, if they took that big of a change to the style of the game I wouldn’t want to play it because the open world factor of VII is what makes me delve so deeply into it. While I love XIII and X even though the areas are limited, if it had that open world side of it it would add so much more and make it feel more like an actual other world. When you limit a game to certain locations and limit travel possibilities it takes away from the depth of the world itself. The stories and character developments are amazing. The back stories are a little more indepth, but you just can’t make that drastic of a change to an already made game. Thus it would take years and years for them to properly remake it. I personally would completely agree to making it multiple discs if necessary because its my favorite game. Has been since I was maybe nine years old. I do think its a possibility, but it doesn’t seem very probable.
This would indeed be the hottest remake of whatever decade it comes out in, preferrably this one. One of my IRL friends did some of the programming for the American release and confirmed for me how much was removed from it in the transition process, so I hope it is the real deal in its entirety when it comes out. A hot second for rereleases for me would be Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
Having not been the biggest fan of FF7 due to my obsession with FF8, I would be pretty indifferent. Having said that though, if it was a direct remake, modernised graphics etc, I would pick up a copy and give it a bash. Its like the Jay and Silent Bob movies – Chasing Amy is beyond dire, but you’d have it to complete the collection.
Square Enix needs to step up from the past few Final Fantasy games released, releasing a remake of FFVII would do that, cause since FFIX the games have become more of a let down.
FFXIII was just too *straight* there were not many side quests, and a majority of everything was so simple that it bore me, I was not interested in it like I have been in so many other of Square Enix’s titles.
This being said, If they were to remake FFVII they would not only rake in the money for the game, but Playstation would also benefit if it was console exclusive, cause everyone who is a fan of the Final Fantasy series would want to play the game, rather FFVII was their favorite or not. Cause much like me, I’ve played every Final Fantasy I could get my hands on, and the latest titles as I’ve pointed out above, have been major let downs, they’ve become so obsessed with matching the graphics of other companies and games, they have strayed from the thing that drew so many of us in to the series, The stories, the complexity of so many puzzles, side quests, bosses and secret dungeons. The random places that you could go that had no point to anything in the story or game play.
If they wont re-make FFVII they could at least give us all a huge teaser by placing some of the characters from VII in to one of their newer releases just to give us all that feeling we loved from VII, the nostalgia and feeling of being there with the characters, the tears, anger, happiness we all shared with Cloud and the entire group as the game progressed, that, in my opinion is what the Final Fantasy has been lacking since FF X.
HEAR HEAR!
You can make a real remake of this game possible! Go to http://ffremake.blogspot.com/ to join in making it happen. We can make Square Enix see the light together.
My cousin works for square Enix and says they are working on this for awhile and will announce it either end of 2011 or start 2012.
This stor
Y ahead of time but good guess follow details. U r right
Good luck and enjoy soon!
Does your cousin work for the Japanese branch? Because I think that’s where it would be developed.
is that really true your cousin work at SE ??? answer me and say it’s true no lie !!
Well I have been looking month after month for proof of a remake. But looking at the box, it is not hard to spot it could just be fan art, since the box doesnt even display the usual things on the back like number of players, and all that other junk. But if Squarenix doesnt make the remake I will guarantee they are gonna go down hill. Make the remake…dont change it…keep it just as is…..It was amazing for a reason, simplicity of the menu and battle system is what we loved. Dont clutter it…new menus (of FF14) are insane…
Long story short, remake will happen….in meantime im gonna replay this on my PS3 (download for only 9.99 on ps3 store), and after its HUGE success, they will go on and remake FF8, my second favorite. Then kojima will be like oh yea? well here is MGS remake for ps3….and my life will be complete.
For those of you who have friends/family under the employ of Square/Enix, I would like to mention this. As an employee of a world renowned gaming company, there are contracts that you sign forbidding the release of any information regarding intellectual property. To wit, releasing the dates of any/all titles owned by the afformentioned company. Ergo, assuming you are telling the truth, your family member/friend is likely pulling your leg, or violating their contract. If you are lying about said family member/friend, shame on you just the same. This is simply a reallity check for all of those fans taking forum posts to heart. Especially when it comes to a game such as this.

Antiroseus
I seen my brother play final fantasy 7 and i am really hoping for it to be remade because i read and seen the story and it is really touching to me. It is like one of the best final fantasy games i ever seen and i seen the movie and it is really good. I am hoping that they will make it to PS3 because my friends thinks the graphics are horrible but the story well done and they are hoping to see it in better graphics. If they really made this happen, it will sell many and might even be one of the games of the year!!!
In 2005 yoichi wada president of square enix said they had no plans to remake FF7. And for a few years after anyone from square enix that was asked said the same thing. in feb 2010 yoshinori kitase producer of FFXIII said it was unrealistic even if it was made more linear like FFXIII (which in my opinion would completely change the feel of the game and potentially ruin it. at least for the die hard fans of the original like me.) Then in march 2010 motomu toriyama said that he would like to do it if they can get the right team and Yoichi wada (now CEO) said thery are exploring the possibility given the high demand. They have progressively swayed from “we arent doing it” to “we can’t do it” to “If we had the right circumstances” to “we are discussing it” We fans have swayed them. Everyone here that reads and comments on these forums that have relentlessly blogged, posted, twittered and screamed from the top of our lungs have nearly convinced them. I have loved this game more than any other since i first owned it. I have sold and bought it back 4 seperate times in my life because i had to play it again and now it is a proud fixture on my ps3 harddrive. If and WHEN they remake it i will be the first to buy it. and for the record even if the make it more linear I would still get it and love every minute of it
You’ll have to beat me to the pre-order!
I would love to see this game remake this is my fav game of all times , actually this is one of my first Rpg but im seeing some flaws here like the menu trailer its just some videos of FFVII AC with battles effect of the final fantasy XII that doesnt convince me at all =/ but like u all im hoping to see this game remake …. sorry for my bad writting im latin so i dont know alot english yet… Final Fantasy VII rules !!!!!
did you know, 5 from 6 people enjoy russian roulette?
Squaresoft started out as a small company with a handful of people who nearly bombed on their first game. They were about to go broke and belly up when they came out with the idea for Final Fantasy.
That game set the stage for all that follows. Back then it took forever to code a game like that despite the poor graphics at the time.
Do you really believe that a huge team (or even a small team at that) would not be able to complete a remake of a game within just a few short years or even 1 year? Why?
Technology has advanced to such a great state that I can render a 3-d Cloud by myself in just 1 hour. Why can’t a team of people develop multiple characters and environments for a game? Why can’t this be done? So many people say NO IT’S IMPOSSIBLE. Well, guess what- you guys are fucking retarded. Of course it’s possible. We’re living in a world where a single optical line and laser can transmit over 10 terabits of data in 1 second. The Japanese have transmitted 200 in a second. Within a few years you will be able to transfer any game, music, movie, in less than a second. We have processors that can handle HUGE amounts of data and software that does the jobs that people used to do.
The video game industry can do whatever it damn well pleases so quit bashing the FF7 remake and go get a life.
It’s happening. Get over it.
OH yeah, one more thing- for you haters… he said the art on here was fan made. that was already established and it was provided so we had something pretty to look at while reading. he said that on facebook. square-enix isn’t releaseing any pics until it’s time to hype. they won’t blow the lid on something like this quietly. a few brief announcements that the remake is happening. check out the japanese magainzes… i found proof while over there. during the earthquake no less. the official announcement is coming soon! FF7 Forever!!!
Hmm what you said in those 2 post is very interesting, however i’d like this remake to be done so much that i tend to not believing it, so i won’t get disappointed if they ever say NO. xD
However you claim that you found proof when you went there recently, so i’d like to ask you to please find those articles online if possible, and if not try to remember in as much detail as possible what you read and the words they used.
You see semantics is very important here and you should know how the Japanese tend to be ambiguous especially when it comes to speculation, so it’d be two very different things if they wrote “SE is thinking about doing it” and “SE have started/are working on in” (for example), because the first one they have said a LOT this last few years, but never the second.
Another thing i find odd is that that proof you claim to have found hasn’t made it’s way to the rest of the world. Something that big should already be all over the facebook pages, foruns, and other media of the kind.
So yeah sorry for not believing you just yet. Please try to back it up, and a really really hope you are right.
I loved playing FF7 as a kid and still enjoy spending some time replaying it when I have the time that being said I have mixed feeling towards a remake of the game, on the one hand I feel that its a classic in my book the way that the graphics are the way that the story is presented to the audience in a way that is hard to come by, or at least based on my experience in playing video games. It shouldn’t be remade because of those ideas, that it should stay the way that it was made. Even when it came out it was some of the best graphics out there for its time.
But on the other hand, visual graphics have come a very long way from the time of the game and I’ve got friends who claim that they don’t like playing 7 because of the graphics, and yes I have gotten into long arguments with them concerning this =), and would only play the game if the graphics were any better. Also the amount of revenue that the game would bring is going to be a lot, or at least a very good amount. The developers should have no trouble hiring enough visual artists to turn this game into current day visuals.
I feel that as long as nothing is retracted from the story line, it would be interesting if they added perhaps a new side quest or two to the game, I think it would be a good sell. Of course if this all does happen I will be at my local store waiting in line to get it. I guess we’ll see what happens….
why does everyone on this post put the same thing as the last person only they word it different. when this game comes out it will be after 13-2 in jan. so everyone should quit trying to sound like they know or dont know, patience.
FINAL FANTASY 7

i’m really sure SE will remake FF VII soon !!
why ?
The first, the SE has certainly know what benefits they would find, like their financial condition will improve greatly, from the FF VII remake itself will save the image of the SE which was bad in the eyes of FF fans, so, of course, the SE will be thinking about making FF VII remake on PS3.
second, the opinion leaders of the SE, also said it would explore the possibility of FF VII remake, aided also request from MGS creator Hideo Kojima.
for the plot, music, character design, and anything inside it, of course they have a great person who handles the manufacture of FF VII, other than that they just simply raise its course.
Third, there are lots of hint from the game, like ending of crisis core, why They put word “to be continued” while the game itself has existed. they should just write “Continued”.
and of coures, from the ending DOC, the Genesis is still alife.
TRY TO THINK FOR A MOMENT, the leader of the SE Tells, “Could it take more than a year, to create the remake”. but did you all know, SE easily make FF XIII-2 only one and a half years from its original version. while for FF versus XIII trailers that had long since arrived, but the game was not yet published.
maybe SE is also in the process of making FF VII and FF versus XIII to published together. maybe SE did not tell, Because They want a secret project.
All That Is is just my guess, I’am very positive about the remake of FINAL FANTASY VII
WHO IS AGREE WITH MY OPINION?
CHEERS:)
These points I feel are very untrue. Yes, they were able to make XIII-2, but thats completely different. The expansive universe of VII and XIII differ greatly. In XIII you’re limited to the straight path perspective save for the plains and everything as to compared to VII where the towns and interchanged areas are huge. XIII only seems bigger because they took the time to develop a sort of backstory that went beyond the main plot progression. And a remake of VII would take more then a year and a half. Since the game is such a large magnitude, a complete remake would take several years, well over four I’d say because they’d have to remake every city, every building you can enter every cave and location plus all the characters would have to be made into a 3D model. It’s a loving idea to think it would be simple, but the fact of the matter is, it wouldn’t. Those are just a few details they’d have to redo. You’d also have to take into consideration the cut scenes, as well as weapon models and materia. a new menu system (Note: When I say menu system, I mean different menu navigation, not a new level up system etc.) And if they did all this, they’d still have to pamper and prod every hardcore fans image of it. They couldn’t just remake it in their own image because they could change something that would destroy its actual marketability since its main consumers would be the hardcore fans. And that area is a very thin line because the game would have to be near perfect. There are a lot of aspects that they’d have to work around. I believe they’d like to, deep down in their hearts. But the time and budget to put forth for a game of that size to be re-calibrated to next gen standards would be unfathomable. They just use the hype from the fan boys like myself and thousands if not millions of others to push us towards anything else they market in hopes that it will lure us in and capture us as much as VII has.
Just got off the phone with my cousin. I don’t tell him I post here or he’s mad with me!
He says they are getting close to done with basic game but still awhile before it comes out. He said Sqaure will announce in 2012.
are you sure about this dude ??
tell me your not lie ?
are your cousin work with SE in japan ?
thanks for the info dude

Woah! Yeah!!!!
This is article seems very similar to an old April’s fool’s joke from 2010, it has the same pictures of the game case and information regarding the leak. I’m actually amazed that more people are getting deceived this time rather than last time… I doubt they will ever remake this game, though I will be thoroughly pleased if they decided to just keep us hanging love enough for it to come out on something as awesome as the PS4. I’ve heard so many different arguments on how or why they can or cannot remake this game that at this point I just don’t know what to believe. We’ve had other Final Fantasy remakes such as FF4 with ‘N64′ looking graphics and voice actors, so I’m not going to say it can’t happen but it still probably won’t.
I will not happen SE has a long time tradition of disappointing its FF series fans since X-2
And even before!
And secondly the images above are photo shopped form Technical demo from 2004 And advent children cover art Come on People do some research before jumping on the Remake bandwagon!
To the Writer of this article you are a cruel person indeed to write such a hoax and try to deceive so many hardcore fans.
FF7 best ever
FF6 the Second best ever VG!!!
All i have to say is that a remake of ff7 would be the best thing the square soft (enix) could possibly do for themselves. they don’t have to develop any new game. Just re-design the game and add new menus and what not. But they could port it to PS 3 and they know damn well they would make a killing. I’m 29 years old, and i’ve been playin games since Nintendo, came out. And let me tell you. FF3 as i know it or 6 in Japan, is the only other game in the franchise that even warrants a remake as well. Even tho ported to PS2 in like club pack format with the other FF titles. So 2 & 3, & 7 should be the concern. I made it a personal thing to get ff7 as soon as it came on release to dl in the PS store. And at this very moment of typing to you here, i’m playing it. i also have the limited edition of advent children, with all the post cards. Final Fantasy 7 is the best RPG game that the world has ever seen. I do have one thing to mention about it though, They should include an option to get Sepheroth and keep him untill the end of the game. ( we all know he has different motives in the game but. you can attempt to get him in the PS 1 version but the machine glitches. Fix the glitch !! Or not, but at least remake the game for your fans. I can almost guarantee that it will get you out of lack of money situation !
Agreed. The remake will save Square-Enix from the inevitable collapse of the FF franchise. It will sell so well they would consider going back to the drawing board with the new FF games and figure out that the fans want something more than cut scenes, button mashing, and giggling goofy characters.
where is @changop ? he must say something !!
TROLOLOLOLOL!!!! sooooooo fake Xp menu trailer is from FFVIIADC
stop bitching about a FFVII remake. itll ruin the game. trust me on this. FFVII is a 3D overworld game. no reason to change a damn thing about it, unless you WANT a ruined game. itll screw up the game so badly, may tradmark event like cloud in a dress will be replaced with something else.
many*
I find myself concerned that Square will make the same mistake with a FFVII remake that FF:AC suffered; after so much hype, and date changes, and the “we are/we arent” games and delays, by the time it finally came out, everyone was so burned out, and had seen their hopes dashed so many times, that very few cared anymore, and sales were pathetic as a result.
Square has dangled this promise in front of the fans for 14 years now. And waffles with on again/off again promises every few months sindce the PS 2 cam out. Eventually, their toying with the fans dedicated love will turn to hostility and backlash, and Square will find itself with no market for the single best-selling game they ever made. And it will be their own fault.
Or worse, like Sega, their promises without delivery, and mediocre schlock of what they do deliver, will leave them relegated to the bargain bins until [i]if[/i] they are remembered, it will be as a has-been that died of self-inflicted wounds.
Very good points. By the time they finally do the remake will the audience even still be seated? Perhaps they left the building and are now playing much better RPGs by another company entirely… I know I have already moved on from Final Fantasy and SE. I’m now a Bethesda man.
Look cier strife just wait until we actualy see it.
That video was at the end of Crisis Core FFVII…
I love final fantasy 7! I would like to see better graphics but I think it might kind of ruin things. They made the characters look kind of weird in Advent Children. There is so much to this game that it seems like it wouldnt be worth the remake, it could just ruin the game for the people that played the orignal. Has anyone else ever got the alternate death scene for Aeris? I have on the original black label discs but restarted the game to show my sister and it wouldnt play again!
It’s already been confirmed that they’re making Final Fantasy X HD, they have no real intention to make a VII remake.
A remake would be expensive but pay off in the long run. Contrary to what most people say, I wouldn’t mind them adding back story and new locations and such to the FFVII world. In all honesty, there isn’t much told about all the characters and their backgrounds. Plus when you look at it, there are very few towns in the actual open world. By no means should they ruin the actual main story progress, but adding side stories for the characters would be reasonable in my eyes. The battle system can’t be changed though. If you took FFXIII’s battle system and threw it onto FF VII it would feel wrong to play. I mean to relive Aerith’s death in say…Advent Children style animations. That would give birth an entirely new hatred for Sephiroth. That’s another thing they could add to. More story progression between Cloud and Aerith then Cloud and Tifa after her death. There’s a lot of things they could touch base on and add story to so long as they don’t alter the main progression. Plus with the new systems and everything they could easily add more minigames, such as making Chocobo races much more intuitive and like an actual race. To me, there’s lots of possibilities they could do with it. Will it be realized? Most likely not, but its something worth dreaming on.
An EXCELLENT comment! I agree with everything you said. I would love a newly revamped version of FF7 with the original story intact but fresh new side quests added on. Background on characters is definitely needed!
Well everyone always looks at a remake of a classic in one side or the other rather then the positives of both worlds. Which is why I bring up the points that I do. I would love for a remake to come into play and add the back story that Crisis Core adds to Zack, which is barely touched base in the main game. I’ve never owned a PSP nor has there been enough incentive for me to purchase one, so that particular addition to the story eludes me. Although that being said I wouldn’t want them to add any events that take place in Advent Children nor Dirge of Cerberus. But it would be very interesting and actually would make the game much more amazing if they explained say the war that made Sephiroth so legendary and well known. And the clash of Yuffie’s town to Midgar. (Please ignore my lack of remembering town names.) I mean there are so many possibilities that could be explored. If a remake were to be done though, I feel these are all the things Square Enix has considered. And I may seem like less of a hardcore fan to most, but I feel like adding to the universe of the other characters makes me more of a hardcore fan. I dunno, I could go on and on about that game and what I wish they would do in terms of a remake.
not just minigames and side quest, but what about new weapons and materia??? i would love to see some new summons, and what about some new limit breaks??? and quite possibly some new extra characters. since vincent and yuffie were optional characters then why dont they add some new ones??? i would love to see a few extra characters each with there own side quest. im sure that with enough persuasion and enough thinking that square will finally see the light and make a new ff7
I couldn’t agree on making new summons/Characters/Limit Breaks; for one its a remake
.. For two it would screw it up.. I could agree on finishing up
on ff7, what they didn’t finish from before, when they had a huge deadline, and wanted it pubilished to the U-S-A…..
After ff8 i refused to pay any money for any of there games till the remake of ff7.
And no im not a pirate i just borrow the games from friends, but you can bet if they make this i will buy myself a copy and probly many more as gifts for friends and family. Until then those lazy enix people can wait for my money just like ill wait for this way overdo remake of ff7.

few reasons it looks fake, for one the trailer was released as a teaser when ps3 first came out, not to mention all the pics, including the ones from the ame cover and the magazine are from advent children, oh and 1 more thing u said its called final fantasy:jenovas rebirth, but guess what JENOVAS REBIRTH ISNT ON THE GAME COVER
