There won't be a FF title with the impact of FFVII but quality wise it's up to Noctis.

I don't understand what you're getting at. Most of the systems (Sphere grid, license board, jobs) don't have a use outside of battle.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I'd say the entire portion of Midgar and the Gold Saucer were the best parts of FFVII. The others were kinda meh. Even the last stage was boring and meh (fortunately the final boss was pretty cool).
Cool.
Well it was one of the biggest games in the world.
I would also look at the doing better point as starting now or more recently. Doesn't matter if XII was someones favourite if XIII was squidoes best effort and terribly received.
The more I have thought about it the stranger a FFVII remake seems. The cinematography for lack of a better term doesn't even translate to FFVIII level of tech.

I certainly think it had more memorable characters, events, locations, and especially music (I'm not a game music guy but I can still recall the majority of songs from that game 15 years later as if I just played it yesterday) than the ones that came after it. I'm not saying I hate the others, I really like 9, 10 and kind of like 12. 8 is a chore to play through because of that draw system though. They just didn't have the magic 7 did.
edit: Actually 10 comes close to me but I was not a huge fan of the linear world map and local traveling. It was FF13 in that regard before it was cool to hate on FF13 for those reasons.

I wouldn't say that. It may have been trumped by a later game, it's still great in its' own right. Can't wait for PS1 classics to arrive on Vita so I can play it again.
and hopefully beat it this time

Versus?! Might top FF7? Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. That game is never coming out..
I've never understood the love it gets. Maybe I'll replay it again if it ever gets remade.
Though it isn't a bad game, maybe I'm just bitter because that a lot of what I think has changed FF for the worst seems to be drawn from VII.

Welp, guess we're never getting that remake then. Unless Tactics counts. That's at least as good as VII.

Did you play XIII-2 or are you just calling it shit because you played XIII and automatically judged the quality of its sequel?

7 had the magic..but it was also clearly not completely finished.
It begs for a remake and a final area, then it might be considered the best for me.
As for his comments? I agree and I thought they were well said.

I love that they just admitted that they're just stringing FF fanboys/fangirls along. Dangle a FF7 "tech demo" trailer, release a bunch of "sidestories" in the FF7 universe...
The will never be one because the conditions that aided its success will never happen again. (New type of presentation in an era where most thought it was long ways off)
Keep in mind, for many gamers, it was their first exposure to a JRPG, so it left an impression on them.

They already surpassed 7 with 12 so they could have already remade and released it like three times by now.
His comments are a bit weird but I'm still glad. The current Square Enix isn't capable (or willing) to develop the FFVII remake people really want.
Personally I would prefer a straight remake.
-Retain 2D rendered backgrounds, albeit redone in HD with more detail. Think something like REmake on the Gamecube but in HD and without tank controls.
-Redo character models so they are the homogenous in FMV, cutscenes, battles
-Mix the OST up with a few orchestral versions of songs. Maybe throw in a few remixes here and there to keep it interesting.
-Retain the battle/materia system
-Retain most of the sidequests. I would probably get them to remake several of the Golden Saucer games though, snowboarding, roller coaster etc.
-Redone FMV (this is one thing Square are still good at)
I think the remake most people are looking for is that tech demo a few years ago but I think that would be Square biting off more than they can chew.

I remember how epic I thought it was going to be within the first...idk half dozen hours. And then how utterly deflating the nonsense story made it all.

I meant Emerald and Ruby Weapons the two optional bosses.
I waltzed right through the rest of the game just spamming limit breaks and not really bothering with materia.

I don't get why they are so resitant. It will sell fuck tons and take a bit less work than an entirely new game. Why not just do it? Though, at this point they need to wait for next gen, which we'll be halfway through if they start working on the game now any way.

i'm glad my favorite final fantasy--9--is the one nobody asks about, because that means it'll probably actually get a repolishing one day.

I loved FFX and XII but VII is still the most memorable for me.

I definitely don't subscribe to the notion that FFVII wasn't a great game, but I feel like FFIX was better. Apparently so does the creator of the franchise.

I mean honestly? Where would these clowns even start? The FF7 world-map looked better than the ground textures in FFXIII....

Ok.
That would only please fans of the game, New games would laugh at how dated FF7 is.

They did, it was called IX.
No. Not that chibi trainwreck. XII

VII is still my favorite game of the series. Only PS era Final Fantasy I've played through multiple times. So many awesome characters, moments and music in that game.
IX is my least favorite. I can't even remember what the game was about, any music from the game, and the names of any locations. Oh and the terrible character designs (besides Vivi)...

Sorry. Unfinished games that play themselves don't qualify. FFXII was literally an abortion, a pressed on disc abortion.

Wasn't that more of trainwreck than FFIX? I know the story fell flat or something after the middle.

Pretty much. If it ever were remade, that's the kind of remake I sure as fuck would want it to not be.
Funny because FF12 was mostly shit.
I agree completely that they have not yet exceeded the quality of FF7.

You better not be talking about the battle system staying the same.
For some of the other stuff, I agree.
If they were to make a Final Fantasy 7 HD remake, it would be like developing an entirely new Final Fantasy installment because they'd have to start from scratch, more-or-less. Having said that, I still believe they're going to get around to doing it. Or, you know, Wada could be lying out of his teeth and the remake has been in development for years already. Hey, Miyamoto lied about the 3DS XL.
