Never played any of the Final Fantasy games. Theres too much, and I just don't understand what there about either.

I'm suprised they come up with cirsis cores concept in 2 days!

Lemme tell ya, I was like "Let sleeping dogs lie" until I played crisis core.  It brought me right back to FF7 (when I thought I had moved on).  If they build it, I will buy.

This would be HUGE! I really want this to happen I want everything to stay the same as the original but just a fresh new look.

the end of the other consoles shall fall when this game comes out, best final fantasy of the history

Sounds fair!

After their project the team could assemble and release ff7 remake , and of course microsoft will probably use money again the game would be 4 discs on the 360 and 1 or 2 discs on blu ray.

But if 100gb , 250gb of blu ray discs are released it would be on 1 blu ray disc.

omg ive heard the same story over and over and we nothing will happen for a while or maybe never so why keep posting about if we have nothing new to say about the story....but besdies that, I would really like  a remake too :D

It will happen. It will be a while, but it will happen. I can't wait. This is still my favorite game of all time! I had a freakin FF7 reunion party on 07/07/2007. I've beaten the game in 23 hours and 43 minutes. I've gotten every chars stats to 255. I've gotten and done everything in the game. I play it atleast once a year. I WANT THIS REMAKE!

A Final Fantasy VII remake would definanlty be HUGE, but I'm pretty sure it would be a while even if they decided to develop it right now. Square is already working on FFXIII and FF versus XIII and those games are 2009 games at least.... and a FFVII remake would probably be in development for around 3 years...so yeah, it's going to be a LONG while before a FFVII remake is possible. And at E3, I'm thinking that Square might annouce something about a Kingdom Hearts 3 game too, but even if they don't, they have a full plate right now with FFXIII and FF versus XIII

FFVII should come with FFXIII !!!!!

I'm sure all the members of the original team would be delighted to work on a remake once they finish their own projects.

@GreyFox - and I thought I was a FF7 fan.

I would love to see it happen, not just for my own pleasure, but to get this new generation of kids aquainted to it. I sometimes forget that most kids today ages 18 and under have no idea how awesome FF7 was. For some reason, I just assume everyone has played all the MGS and FF games.

well then come on hurry up finish that FF13 and please go to 2 FF7 hurry (hee hee :D )

Personally I would die if they made a FFVII pack for the PS3 that would include: FFVII original, FFVII remake, Advent Children, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, and maybe even that cellphone game. Slap all of that on 2 or 3 blu-ray disks and ship it out for the die hards and those who never played FFVII.

I've never player Final Fantasy, but if this remake is made, I'll definatly buy it.

I dont really get all the hype. How about instead of remaking every popular game square ever had they sit down and come up with a new decent storyline and stop pulling this same crap over and over. Sure you can remake the final fantasy series a crap ton of times but the only reason the new games arent close to as good as the old ones is because that team left square to form mistwalker(not all but some, FFVII creators anyways). So I think instead of gravedigging they should get a new team of people who dont just think about money... Like creative people who want to make good games?

they will. they will do it. We know they will. They know they will. Just do it =P

I would love a FFVII remake, but I am really looking forward to XIII and Versus. Something fresh and new. FFVII is great!! Don't get me wrong about that. For now though I'll just play the original. We know an FFVII remake is coming...someday. If not, then SE are the CRUELEST people ever for creating that Tech Demo. I was so excited when I seen that.

NO REMAKE! Just add in the original into FFXIII, even if its on a seperate disk!

Remake would be brillient just as long as they keep everything the same, as in the story, characters and the events as they unfold.  

^ I agree. If it were to be remade EVERYTHING should stay the same. The battle system, materia system, everything. If they added / removed plots / storylines it just wouldn't have the same feel to it. As for the battle system, remember when rumours were flying round saying that FFVII remake would have an FFXII style battle system? That would totally RUIN it. Wouldn't work at all.

It's funny how times put thing into prespective; it doesn't matter how old you are, if you played Final Fantasy VII when it was first released. you would have played it more then a decade ago! ******

The 1st FF game I played was Final Fantasy VIII - Personally I'm more fond of that then Final Fantasy VII.

woooooo lol  that wasnt rly news tho lol

My girlfriend has "blackmage" in Japanese tattoo up her spine. This is her favorite game of all time. I'd never be able to play my PS3 again if they remake this game! LOL.

bout time they said something...i was thinking they didnt care about the fans anymore....but this is VERY good news and i am very happy to see they still want to but atm cant...but due time guys the remake will be EPIC...they will know the ps3 very well and take graphics to a new levels....GG SE

look with ff13 and versus will BE HUGE FOR THE Ps3 this remake is like a trump card for sony if sony actually pressures Square to do it they win the console war cuz more people will want to buy it heck even make ff7 online multiplayer give it the same fighting system than crisis core but with all 3 characters fighting in the battle and you just switch and while you control one the rest fight on their own like gambits but much more advanced. Then give it out  as a bundle. Then Sony wins the  console war we are already coming up and winning but this would only just throw the damn 360 in a cellar and put a key to it.

DO IT

Honestly, this goes beyond saying "this is old news". It's only been recited on the internet a thousand different times and places. It doesn't need to be said yet again. I have indeed played Final Fantasy VII, and I do love it. They would just have to make everything perfect or it would be wrecked. It would have to have all the exact same music, note for note, every instrument. If they could use a symphony it would be amazing, but if Uematsu wasn't doing all of it I wouldn't bother. I would probably prefer a fixed camera so it would be similar to the original, as that was the way it was. There are so many things they would have to do to make a remake of the most famous and amazing gaming ever produced, and if even one thing wasn't as perfect as it originally was it would be a lot of wasted time.

psn id: gingo... if they remade this and released it on disk or psn it would be one of the highest selling games of all time its that popular, i really hope they do this and a mgs1 remake

You could almost tell by my screen name, that I work for UPS.  I'm in management, and as some may know, it's a fortune 500 company.

I'm telling you from a business standpoint, Sony, Square Enix, and the public (World), CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS!!!

Make the flipping game already, while the PS3 is still high priced.  I just don't get it.  Do you know what type of cash crop that game would be for everyone involved.  This is a NO-BRAINER!!!!!!

I'm ashamed to say I never played this game.  I hope they do remake the game so I can get a chance to play.

Seriously speaking.....forget FF7, I would much rather see a remake of FF8 or Xeno Gears.  Any true hardcore RPG gamer knows that whiles being a great RPG (especially for its time), you take away 3 things...Sephiroth, Omni-slash and Knights of the Round materia...FF7 ain't sh!t. Truth be told, Squall > Cloud and ID > Sephiroth...yes, it may be my opinion, but it has strong common ground that makes it as close to fact as possible. Don't get me wrong...I will support and buy a FF7 remake if it were to come out, but jees.....is hype everything? I rather a better game vs a great name any day of the week.

If Square did this, I would love them for ever and ever!!!!! Still, from this post, it'll probably be done only after FFXIII is released, or at least finished in production. But it's going to be hard to get Nourma since he's working on the new Kingdom Hearts games too and I believe he's a "core member" too.

Id say do it like the rest of the people, but i already know square will do it, simply because it will make bucket loads of $$$

Yeah give us more FFVII !!!!

Cue all the FFVII fans who think that the only good FF was VII. Or who think the first and only FF game was VII. If any of them need to be remade its IV. The crappy DS one they are doing right now is not going to satsify me.

SQUARE will do it, but it'll just take time as XIII is a very big game with tones of music, characters, weapons and all that and they've got most of the masterminds behind VII working on it so XIII will be brilliant and VII remake will take time, look at about 2 years i would say then they might begin work on VII.

 im not much of a final fantasy fan, but this would be great for the ps3. remaking other games would be cool too.

they would probably make more money if they just canceled FFXIII and started working on FFVII.

This is interesting WHY do so many people WANT a REMAKE so badly anyway?

yes yes yes this is what FF fans have been waiting for trust me on this that many people around the world will get the game all im saying is to make  the game and many many many people will be happy

do it

Ah crap.  How long are we going to have to hear about a remake coming now?  I have a feeling it's going alongside in-game XMB and Home. Great...

@ forthesteel: You have no idea how mad I would be if they stopped making Final Fantasy XIII. That would be ridiculous. I'd rather have  FFXIII then an FFVII remake any day, don't forget the original still holds high ground over a lot of things and I can still play it

'forethesteel' I've seen that PSN somewhere!

My music at Mysingstar is really cheap! look for Los Fuertes n Buy it!

Am i the only one who thinks Crisis Core isn't all it is hyped up to be?Then again,i never understood the combat system that much either.

Final Fantasy 7! Only on the Xbox360!

Wouldn't that be a kick in the balls? ;P

I hope they do indeed end up making this. As if it wasn't enough that they teased people with a "this is what FF7 could look like on PS3" triailer before the console launched. I agree with the earlier posts, I haven't been overly impressed with Crisis Core, or all that many of Squenix's projects as of late, but if they get the original team together for this, I think it would be too hard to pass up.

if you think about it FFVII on the PS3 wouldnt take that long to remake

simply because they already have the main story, the battle system, the characters, and the monsters it would just be redoing the graphics even though they would prolly add a bunch of stuff to it IF they just redid the game & didnt make that many changes to it it would be a fairly fast process

IMO they should make it for every next-gen platforms (PC, PS3, X360)

Especially PC and PS3, because FF7 was made for PC and PSone.

It'll be one of the best selling games all over the world. Square you should think about it too ;]

Damn! Guys, just think about how great game would be FF7 with next-gen graphics and the original story! Yeah! I'll buy one if Square will relase it.
