Aerith's death is too violent for Final Fantasy games these days. She'll get sent to FFVII's equivalent of the Shadow Realm.
 
Livi basically said it all here. Siliconera, Andriasang, gematsu etc have not even covered the story. This article is also a few days old so It is fake. This is not even from a top news source that I listed. Obvious hoax article is obvious. If this were true, Andriasang, Siliconera, gematsu and even vg247 would have all covered it by now.
 
I pray this is really a silly joke because I can NOT handle 10 more years of FF7 fanboys and fantards being utterly ridiculous about their precious obsession.

Squeenix just...let this fucking dead, ROTTING horse in peace, PLEASE. We've buried and unearthed this thing far too many times. Just let it rest.
 
Why is everyone going nuts?

Everytime someone mentions a FFVII remake rumour in the news section, everyone starts rejoicing in hope or gets pissed off.

You may as well make a sub-forum labelled FFVII bullshit remake rumours :hmph:
 
^ I second that.

Obviously, this is BS, now FF7 is my favorite game, and I'd like to see a remake of it, I just can't stand all these rumors flying around of a remake that's going to be made, when Square Enix OFFICIALLY says they are going to remake it, then tell me. Otherwise, everything you post about this matter is just bs. >_>
 
:rage:

I swear TO GOD! If this is another troll, i'm gonna get so angry. :rage:

On another note, I won't get too hyped about it, I'd rather not get let down again :sad3:

However, I wish people would stop saying it's fake when there's no real reason to believe it is or isn't. :hmph:

Honestly, I've seen this stunt by SE before. If this is real it's most likely a troll and it'll be SE releasing FFVII as it's same standard but for PS3--or whatever they usually do that fans don't want.

That said, I absolutely HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE the fact that if this is true they're gonna change the story in ANY WAY. It's, like, FECK MAN. We loved the game before your shitty retcons like the kinds you did in your crappy spin off games like CC, BC, DoC, etc.

We. don't. need. our. beloved. game's. storyline. to. be. fuc*ed. with. anymore. :rage: I can't stress that fact anymore than I already am.

The last thing I need is for my epic game to be even more fecked with. But, I can't lie, other than that, I would LOVE the graphics to be remade. It'd be a beautifully epic game, to say the least.

if SE is making it and they feck it up, i intend to write a strongly worded letter to them :mokken:




My first thoughts... how in the hell are they gonna do Aerith's death? :hmmm:

Oh :sad3:
 
*Turns on happiness again for a minit*

Ooooh....HD remake. :jess:

I am a little hopeful for this, but I have long since gotten over the hype and whatnot of a FFVII remake or improvement or whatever Squeenix wants to pull out of their bottom. With all the hype they cause with each little announcement or deliberate leak, they should just wait until it is a sure deal and say "It is official, we are doing this." I mean, gosh. There are some people who have been waiting and some who just don't give a frankendoodle anymore. Just end the BS already, Square.
 
I call bullshit on this story. Aside from lousy source material the story is based on, there's nothing that suggests a FFVII remake so soon.

I'm just gonna be looking forward to FFXIII-2 and Type-0 ^_^
 
*sigh*

I hate wanting a remake when I know they'd mess with the original storyline. But at the same time, I just want to see this game redone in gorgeous graphics. :gonk:

I don't know what i want... I'm for it and I'm against it. I don't think a remake is worth it if they're gonna take out stuff I loved(Aerith's death scene, how Cloud acts towards Aerith, etc) i'd hate to spend money on the PS3 and then the actual game to only find out I just purchased this terrible half job Square sold to me as trying to be the great VII. I don't want my fav game to be ruined like that.

It'd suck. :hmph:
 
:hmmm:

Everyone is asking what Aeris' death scene would be like with vamped GFX. I think it would be the same scene just with the better graphics. I don't know why this is some mystery. Does everyone think this is the best part of the game or something?

And to expand on a point I was brief on before, if VII gets a makeover, then they better start from FFI and go all the way to IX remaking them to present day GFX. I would not be satisfied with it just happening to VII. I am a huge fan of VII but all the other FFs should get a facelift as well. Remember before Advent Children came out and all the rumors that were spread of a VII-2? Then we found out it was a movie. But they only did VII. Why not the other games? I'm sick of just one game getting the attention. If you remade VI with the GFX capabilities we have today, everyone would fall in love with it. And why try this on an FF game that is only sub par or one that isn't as popular as VII? Wouldn't that make the game more popular?

Seriously, I like VII but I don't like all the attention it gets. I think S-E should spread it around. Hell, I think people that make up BS FF rumors should spread the attention around.
 
After a bit of checking, I traced references to the possibility of a FFVII remake E3 announcement to only a couple other places, one being Examiner, which in turn has spun the story from the very vague PSX Extreme's claim that there will be a "high profile remake". Neither Examiner or PS Extreme say anything about when we may expect to see this remake or what it may contain, so there's potentially another reason to believe that this article may be bullcrap. That's not to say that PS Extreme is a well-reputed goldmine of news either. They haven't said where the quote "high profile remake" has come from and refuse to name sources, which might tell you something.

Who knows, this could somehow be true...on some distant, parallel world or something. It's not like E3 never had high profile surprise FF reveals before. I just still think this is completely based on rumours and untrue. Until anything concrete shows up, please refrain from making new "news" threads based on FFVII remake rumours.

As FFVII is the most revered of the series and the most popular for reasons I both agree and disagree with, remaking that would be the most logical path to take as it will inevitably sell like mad. Remaking ones such as FFI and FFII would be a lot more pointless and not as rewarding because there is literally no demand for them, let alone the fact that remaking them with present day graphics would be extremely time consuming and expensive. And also, I'm not too particularly too keen on the idea of remakes in general. They can be really easily done wrong and even changed almost beyond recognition. As much as I would love to see FFVI in 3D, I would never want to see it in HD or anything.
 
^ thanks for diving further into it. I think you might be right. :sad3:

I'm relieved but let down at the same time. Oh, well. When's E3 anyway?

E3 will begin on the 7th of June and it will run all the way to the 9th. :) So whenever Square Enix has their press conference, we will know if a VII remake is indeed confirmed or not. :)

Livi Edit:
You are not Mitsuki! D=<

Edit:
Ohai Livi :olivia:
 
:gonk:

I can't wait one whole day :gonk: I need to know if this has any foundation to it in some way :gonk: I wish the arshole that started this whole thing gave a source. Just another reason why being a VII fan sucks. You have people always trolling you about this sort of thing.

Thanks for the help. But.. when is the SE press conference?
 
Its a shame they will be changing the storyline and adding to it. Its going to turn into something terrible, if that's true. It will fail, though probably not money-wise, but story wise. The last thing they need to do is turn the game into an even bigger LTD fight, which we all know is what they will do.

Oh well. It will be worth it I suppose, for the music, Cid, Yuffie, Barret, Red XIII and Vincent.

Here's hopin' the changing story part is false. :monster:

EDIT:
Does it actually know if the "remake" is Final Fantasy 7? For true? If not....ya'll might try to be ready for a Legend of the Dragoon remake. I heard some rumors and there are a lot of fans for that game xD

Hmmm I have mixed feelings about this.

I'm not the biggest fan of FFVII, I enjoyed playing it but I don't obsess over it. However, I would actually love to see and play the game in HD with new graphics and Voice acting.

One thing I wouldn't be happy with is if they change the story, add or remove things that were never in the game, etc. That would piss me off. Do not tamper with something that is already so good.

I would also prefer that they gave some attention to the other FF games, IX and VIII haven't really gotten any attention since they were made, besides the characters that appeared in Dissidia. A graphical re-haul of those would be awesome.
And I would even prefer I - VI to have proper remakes. Not cruddy handheld remakes but like proper Console ones.

I also don't think this rumour is true.
 
:hmmm: Whatever happened to V and VI? Are these two getting the shaft? I can understand V but VI had a damn good story and some memorable characters (what do I know tho, I never finished it :monster: ).

As much as I would LOVE for this to be true, I'm holding out reservations on this. If this were to be true, it would be no doubt near impossible for VII: Re to be good, on the current hardware anyway. They only just mastered the PS3's Crystal engine after tampering with XIII for 5 years. While they have the understanding, I really just don't know anymore.

Graphically, with the current existing models from CC, avatars from BC and CC, the CG models from ACC, it would be fairly simple to piece this all together, I'm sure. However VII had a MASSIVE World map, made even larger by the Compilation and it's new locations. This was something that was never linear throughout the whole game. Right away you had free reign to go where you wanted, when you wanted. To render all the towns and cities, Midgar especailly (Shinra building, the slums and sectors) in real time 3D with as many NPCs to populate them... well fuck that's a lot of work, time, and space on the disk.

The story has ALOT of retconning going on. Needless to say that VII: Re would put a final say to everything that happened (the 4 different versions to Nibelheim, the constant gloves coming off, the different views, the characters who were or were not present) and how it was meant to be... but would that please everyone? You'd have half the fanbase whinging about them changing everything because of the Comp and how it ruined it... and then the other half who would whinge about NOT changing it because of the presense of the Comp. So either way, they won't please everyone.

Taking on VII: Re is an incredibly high stake for SE, but with so much lost over the years, XIII and XIV being flops, it's their last bargaining chip.. and with Nintendo on the verge of announcing 'Project Cafe', SE may be going all in.
