And I've met plenty of gamers that swear they won't buy something because of a certain decision then end up at Gamestop day one. I can't imagine anything short of a natural disaster causing FF7 not to sell well.
I would fucking love that. Seriously, VIII is my fave <3 and a remake of it would be amazing.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I remember taking multiple screenshot of every area when I replayed the (latest) PC-version like two years ago... I'm going through the album right now. God, I fucking love this game...

I'd love to see VIII in HD. God that game has beautiful moments.
They need to get the same rhythm and cadence of the opening sequence, from the Midgar flyby to placing the bomb in the reactor and encountering the first boss.
That is pretty insane. How do they even have time to make it? Well I'll definitely pick it up whenever it finally comes out.
The art direction for the trailer looked nice, too. I mean, obviously it was very industrial/depressed Midgar, but it wasn't all drab and bleh like Advent Children.

That'd work regardless just because it instills the idea that he's a mad scientist. Even with a realistic art style, that'd work I say.

They should add new side quests and love scenes with Tifa and/or Aeris. Yes, I said it.

Oh shit! I completely forgot about the Weapons! And the Sister Ray! Those would be amazing to see!
My hype keeps rising. Oh god I hope to every deity and Sephiroth and Aeirth and the Cetra and all them that this doesn't see a XV style delay then getting scrapped for parts.
Now the promise has been made I need it to be complete. 2 years, 3 years, 4 years. Whatever. Just not any longer. Please.

The background art design/mood is one of the best aspects of the game, something Crisis Core seemed to have zero interest in carrying over outside of cutscenes.
Even the pre-rendered backgrounds that they did try to replicate were heavily de-saturated; it was a bummer.
FFVII is my favourite game of all time. I don't think I could handle it if this turns out to be a piece of shit like FFXIII.
I think the main problem with replaying FFIX isn't so much the visuals but the speed. I dunno about NTSC, but in the PAL version there is a horrible delay between the random encounter swoosh and the actual battle screen. Just makes the game feel really sluggish. Might only be a PAL problem though. Square we're notorious for doing shitty conversions back in the day.

I really enjoy the original so I'm somewhat wary when it comes to how the remake will turn out. Right now I'm cautiously optimistic, but I realize this could be epic or a major disaster.

I'm looking forward to the part where Tifa and Cloud are in the Lifestream and she's piecing together his consciousness. That's my favorite part.
Will be really cool to see how they remake that.

2017 is FF7's 20th anniversary. Bank on it. It will be released.
Besides, all the high end modelings for FF7 characters are already done. (ADVENT CHILDREN LOL)

I wonder how they're going to handle the cross dressing.
They just throw in Triple Triad just because. Even if it doesn't make any sense. TT should be in every FF game.
Hopefully they make Cait Sithe not so useless.
Seeing Knights of the Round in HD will make me facegasm.
Please be excite? I am excite!

Well the original game pushes you to decide who Cloud ends up with so it would make sense.
Right? God there's so much potential for an VIII remake, especially because it's a lot easier for it to translate to HD.
I know VIII is a game they've said is something they would want to go back to. Maybe VII's success will make is happen.

This announcement is exactly why Sony wanted you in a movie theater, causing a ruckus. That memory will last forever.
Yea, I really need them to keep faithful to the original in terms of combat and gameplay. If they can do that, then this is gonna be truly special.

Really hoping for a wee bit more detail on FFVII remake in Square's conference. I just want to know if ATB battle system is kept in tact. Please keep it!

The way this was announced strongly suggests that Sony has a large hand in funding/publishing etc this game and it will be the same deal as SFV i.e. PS4/PC
Also PS4/PC is whats most likely as those are the two platforms its ever been on.

Honestly, I love the idea, but there should have been no way Scarlet could take a Tifa slap and still stand, let alone 5-6.

So... was Cloud peeking on Aeris when she was trying out the red dress or not?

Beau Billingslea is just fine as Barret, thank you very much.
Would be great to hear him as General Leo as well.

Well I never.
This will be day one. I hope it's glorious.
Still have my original PSX guide so I hope they don't change locations of items etc.

Posting this again, since it got buried in the sheer reaction to this even existing:
Does Cloud have an artificial hand now?
That "bracelet/gauntlet" thing looks too slim to actually fit a person's forearm/wrist.
Could the extent of the experimentation on Cloud be higher for the remake?

Im concerned this game will take 8 years to make, during which time there will be several regime changes in Squares management, and by the time it comes out it will be unsatisfactory and the complete opposite of what fans originally wanted (Think FF 13)
