A FF VII remake for the DS would be technically difficult and pointless at the same time because
1) The game used to be big and would be hard to fit on a relativly small DS cart.
2) The graphics could be improved, but not by much so it would go against what the previous FF remakes on the DS already did and that is dramatically improve the graphics.
3) A remake of FF VII would be better suited for the PSP because of Crisis Core or PS3 because of the Playstation brand and FF VII ascosiation.
4) A FF VII remake would sell on any platform.

A remake isn't going to change the gameplay at all. Its only about the technical side of things when it comes to remakes.
If FF7 was put on PSN, it would be all about the gameplay but fans would still clamor on for a FF7 remake.

1)DS version would be smaller..a lot of the prerendered stuff really made the game big. It could also cut off pointless FMVs. It would be as big as DQ9 for DS.
2)The graphics would still be an improvement. Number 2 also further agrees with my "fans only want better graphics" theory.
3)So?? DQ was associated with the Playstation brand, Monster Hunter was associated with the Playstation brand, Resident Evil was mostly associated with the Nintendo brand. We all saw what happened to these series.
4)It would sell but would it sell well? I'd imagine it hit a million on PSP but being heavily advertised like Crisis Core. We never got reports of that sort of advertising for the FF games on DS yet they sold better then Crisis Core. It wouldn't hit a million on Ps3..Highest I'd give it is 500k.
FFVIIre would sell on all platforms but the ideal platform would be the DS or Wii.

Everything would be better. Every last thing, from sound to gameplay to graphics to features. The whole nine yards. There's not a single thing in FFVII that would be improved by waggle, by any magical wonder of the mind, so the only beneficial thing would be that it may sell more on Wii. And that matters:
0
To real gamers.
farnham said:
Me too! I'd take a 360 version. "PS3" here is just moonlighting for "legitimate next-gen system.'
ksamedi said:
1. they could completely re - do the game... with more chibi characters like FF III or FF IV
2. they dont have to be improved.. DQ IV on DS is actually a downgraded DQ IV PSone.. DQ V will probably be evenmore downgraded since DQV was on PS2
3. then again FF7 CC sold less then DQ IV remake or FF III... (we still dunno how FF IV will turnout... )
4. probably not on N GAGE
Lobster said:
If you look at REmake.. they actually did some gameplay tweaks.. but yeah id give you that..
but if you would port it on DS it would have portability...
Nintendo milked the shit out of gamers with the excuse of portability.. (they even remade Smash All stars splitted it and published every part of it as a separate package)

I wasnt proposing the thought of a Wiimake...
nah.. that probably wont happen.. but a DSmake..
Lightning said:
how so?
If SE wants to get out of this FFXIII exclusive on PS3 adventure unharmed, they'll have to take action.
At this point, I don't think the game will be cancelled or moved on to wii or any other fanboy stuff but something must be done. Right know, with FFXIII exclusive on PS3, the FF franchise is rolling down fast in an obstacle-free cliff straight down to hell. It will sell 500k-600 LTD in japan with the current climate in Japan, which is catastrophic.
The only thing that would lessen the impact of selling 500k - 600k LTD of their main FF game is making it less important. Giving the game a title is some kind of life saving option I'd go for if I was Wada.

Not on the wii, unless they have a truly novel idea, that is. Less so treating the Wii like the indisputable hardware platform.Xisiqomelir said:

It might not sell that well, but I honestly wouldn't want to see an FFVII remake on anything other than 360 or PS3. The only revision I personally would want would be to the graphics, and the leap just wouldn't be there on the Wii, and especially not on the DS.
I want a remake in next-gen for three reasons.
1. The visuals of FFVII are eye-rapingly bad. PS360 can save.
2. The audio can be upgraded to FULL ORCHESTRATED SCORE DOLBY 28.1 SURROUND HOMG
3. We can get a translation that actually makes sense.
Bonus:

People in what..?? Yes more PS3 owners would want a remake on the PS3..
But more DS owners would want a remake on the DS..
And that would mean.. more DS owners want a downgraded half assed broken FF7 port on DS
(even if you exclude the PS3 owners that own a DS.. assuming every PS3 user has a DS)

After the epic self-fellatio session that was Advent Children, it's impossible to see how Nomura would do FFVIIR on anything but the most powerful hardware available... in 2010.

Which would not really be a remake, but rather a port with slightly enhanced graphics. You could not even boost the sound that much.
most of the FF7/Cloud/Tifa fans I know of cant even afford a wii much less a Ps3. Im guessing this is because they tend to be a younger crowd to which FF7 is still new to them. For everyone else, I dont think they even care that much about it anymore. Its sort of similar to the niGHTS rebirth. a few of us cared and bought the game, but for all the crazy hype and such over 11 years youd think there would be more sales (and sorry you didnt like it amirox but its getting pretty good reception in most places from people who got past the shitty cutscenes). Although Ive been reading some new rumors on NID about a possible 3rd game, so perhaps Sega is pleased with the reception. Or theyre desperate :lol
S-E will probably just bite the bullet and stick with FFXIII on PS3, since if anything it'll be something out there with pretty graphics they can use to promote the overall FFXIII series of games (urgh) instead of shoving Wii graphics in everyone's faces (and nobody wants that). I imagine they'll have a fairly long line of Wii/DS spin-offs of FFXIII anyway, so it'll all cross-promote. I can almost hear Wada whispering "brand synergy" into my ear as I type.
The real casualty will probably be anything they planned re: FFXIV or other PS3 projects using the White Engine, since they'll really only get a handful of games out of that at most after all the effort.

I have a feeling Square-Enix is going to do both, judging by their past history.Paracelsus said:
Crappy graphic remake on DS
Amazing Graphic remake on a next-gen console, MAYBE next generation.

S-E is well-known for milking famous IP till the last drop.
You got the prequel, you got the spin-off, you got sort of a sequel cg-movie. All that's left is the remake.

Same reason 90% of their games have "Final Fantasy" or "Dragon Quest" attached to them.

Sheesh Amirox! How many blu-ray discs would it take to hold, with a 40-50 million dollar budget? I consider myself a gamer as much as anyone, but I still realize it's important to be reasonable and realistic. If you start making games like that, it'd do more damage to the industry than Nintendo's non-games could ever do in the minds of elitists. 
the sequel didnt suck ass. It wasnt OMFG awesome but it was pretty decent. and the gameplay is still very much there along with some surprising depth I didnt expect to see. Even Segata liked it and he is known for killing people when they mess with Sega or its properties :lolAmir0x said:
So basically Wii will get an FFVII
remake with waggle. "Now you can slap Scarlet!"
...Actually, that sounds better to me than the real deal, although obviously I'm not representative of gamers as a whole--hey, I'm unashamed to say I played the snowboarding game (the Golden Saucer one, AKA the one with music) for about five hours when it opened up, seeing as it bored me much less than everything else.
An FFIX remake would be awesometastic, however.

How many Blu-Ray Discs? Um... I imagine one Blu-Ray disc?
How many DVDs? Now that's the question!
Segata said:
Segata had convinced himself it'd be worth it MONTHS before it came out, don't fool yourself for one damn second about that. I was, likewise, always skeptical... but as NiGHTS was one of my all-time favorite games, the abomination SEGA came out with for the sequel is neither a good homage, or even a taste of the testicle juice from the original. Bitch was a shoddy excuse in every conceivable fashion. Maybe if you're desperate for Wii games you'll consider it worthy to your collection, but that shit was junked instant I beat it. Crap. 4.0/10

It will allow SE to actually stop investing as much money as originally planned.
We got a FFXII: revenant wings for DS and noone was pissed because it was a good, decent 8/10 game and not the 2nd coming of christ, which would require more money and resources. Why do fans consent FFXII:RW being just o.k? because it's not a main line FF, thanks to the Title " revenant wings ".
If squares names the PS3 game, say, " FFXIII: lightning's adventure " it turns into a non-mainline game, which in turn makes it o.k in eyes of everyone if it does not have a mega budget.
It's just what I think, If it pisses the mods off, I'll stop. I know they don't like it when this sort of ideas take off as actual possibilites.

Nintendo apologist? I don't even want a FFVIIre.
I was just commenting that it is very much possible to put the game on DS and its actually the most sensible platform for it to be on.
Every sales age contributer would agree.

This is mainly the reason I would want a FFVIIre on Wii...

You guys realise that the forum would probably have to be locked down till everybody cools down?
