Does anyone here plan to do a Playthrough of the original before the REMAKE lands?

I'm all tangled up in Shenmue right now, but by December I hope to begin my last Playthrough of Final Fantasy VII before the Remake lands. I want to really have one last go at appreciating the original before the REMAKE exists. Not that I won't ever go back to the PS1 version after, but it will certainly be a long time as I doubt I'll be playing them until after the REMAKE releases are set and done.

So, I was curious if anyone else intends to play the original game before March?

My brother and I have been playing through the series together (separately on our own games) and just recently we finished FFVI, so it's a bit serendipitous that we get to play FFVII before the remake drops.

It'll be nice though. I'm not sure when the last time I played through FFVII was but I do know it's been a few years at least. I've noticed after so much time I start loosing details & the order of events in these games so it'll be nice having a refreshed play-through to compare with.

Though on the flip side I can kinda understand why people wouldn't want to play through before the remake drops. I'll be interested to see how many people do & don't.

I really, really, really want to. It is my favourite game and I've had the urge to replay it ever since I learned that the Remake was close to release.

However, my backlog is insane. I got Red Dead Redemption 2 for Christmas and I still haven't managed to progress beyond, I think, chapter three. Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Final Fantasy XIV (including post-game stuff and going through Heavensward for the first time) and also Crash Team Racing have taken up what little time I spend on gaming these days.

And yet I do hear FFVII calling for me. I'm just running out of time.

I may have to replay this game with my heart instead of with my hands.

For that reason I can't really vote yet.

Yeah, I do. Mostly for a review.

Yes i will definitely play the original FF7 before the Remake comes out so i can refresh my mind and be ready for the Remake! It's also my first and favourite FF game of all time! I recently purchased it from the PSN store but haven't had a chance to start it yet since i got a backlog of games as well just like Dionysos said lol but i have to start it soon before remake releases otherwise i will never have a chance to play it, i am planning on streaming my FF7 gameplay soon and if you guys/girls wants to check out my stream any time and watch what i'm playing you can at: twitch.tv/frankcrank
Watch and Follow Me because you won't be dissapointed hopefully let me know you came through FF Forums when you catch me live.

I plan to Stream a Play through of VII on my PC about a month before it comes out, I haven't played 7 is about 5-6 years so everything will still be semi fresh and nostalgic when I play it again

The Remake is only Midgar, so don't really see the point.
