they should've given FF7 the xenoblade chronicles definitive edition treatment
single full game updated graphics, soundtrack etc would have been great
I want a true FF7 remake that is 100% faithful to the original too - because I know it's better in some ways (1990s-early 2000s FF was great). Chances of us getting it now that Square isremakingdefiling the original FF7 with the remake are very slim though. Square would have to outsource it likely, and I dont trust that.
The remake is good though so far, for the most part (judging as it's own body of work). But I feel like it will be too watered down by the end of it, as they're trying to add filler content too much to extend it's length over 3 parts and really cash in on the nostalgia of FF7. Several plot points in part 1 took waaay too long to get to due to all the additional filler they added. And I can tell that even from the outside looking in, it's noticeable even without reading a plot synoposis.
I have never played the original FF7 (miraculously), and now that remake has started to be made IDK if I should go back to the fidelity of the 1990s original and play it having experienced part 1 of the remake so far. Even if the story is better and I like turn based combat more than the newer system.
I have been tempted to play the original though. For those that havent heard, there is a fan made HD remaster mod being made called Remako, check it out here:

it is not 1997 anymore. it is 20+ years later. that game was made before 9/11. we are now 20 years into the next century. the passage of time has added context and changed meaning. we can no longer look at something the same way we did in the 90s. everyone already has played the game. they know the story.
i imagined you saying this as ron burgandySquare Enix are geniuses
They took Final Fantasy XV, mixed it with XIII, applied a FFVII skin mod, sold it as a Remake and people actually fell for it.
I'm not even mad, that's amazing.
1) it is not 1997 anymore. it is 20+ years later. that game was made before 9/11. we are now 20 years into the next century. the passage of time has added context and changed meaning. we can no longer look at something the same way we did in the 90s. everyone already has played the game.
Seems you need to look into FFVII on PC with mods. 7th Heaven with Remako will do just that for you.I want to play a FFVII with similar attention the NES FF games received. The same gameplay, the same maps, locations of items, bosses, etc. Clean up the translation, add minor quality of life improvements. Make the characters look less blocky, but still feel like they belong in the original FFVII world.
I hope we still get this. While, I love FF7 remake on PS4, it is not really what its name implies.
How is it not a remake? They literally remade it from scratch. Are you saying that you want a turn base FFVII remake?
