No 'Final Fantasy VII' remake until original is bettered, says Square


Final Fantasy VII will only be remade once the series improves, Square Enix has revealed.
Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada told shareholders that a new Final Fantasy game must exceed VII before a remake can be considered, reports Andriasang.

Admitting that recent Final Fantasy releases have failed to match VII's quality, Wada said that a remake in the series' current state would spell the end for the franchise.
The news comes after a leaked report suggested Final Fantasy VII would be re-released on PC with new features.
The re-release will reportedly add 36 achievements, cloud saving and profile sharing with friends.
A 'Character Boost' feature will also be introduced, allowing players to increase their HP, MP or Gil to their maximum if they're stuck.
The feature listing suggests a release on digital distribution service Steam, which was linked to a possible Final Fantasy VII re-release last year.
A PC version of the critically-acclaimed role-playing game was originally made available one year after the PlayStation version's 1997 release.
This enhanced port will be available for £7.99. No US pricing has been revealed.
A full remake has been heavily requested by fans in recent years, but Square Enix has said it would be unrealistic.

My thoughts: i hope Yoichi Wada stays true to his word that if any of the new final fantasy games that comes out surpass FFVII then they will finally consider a remake, but the way the current/new FF games are going doesnt look like that will happen anytime soon XD, my hope is that Final Fantasy Versus XIII will surpass it but i doubt it will XD

they are re-releasing Final Fantasy VII for pc, but its not going to have upgraded graphics or anything added to the story, its still the same game XD, the only thing they are adding is achievements(through steam probably) and character booster, which will allow you to boost stats(something that is not needed lol), so yeah its not a remake just a re-release, Bongmantv posted here of Square Enix confirming it:

This is my favourite game of all time, my mates were out drinking on the park I was at home fighting the ultimate weapons. I also think if they remade FF7 and fucked it up they would lose most of thier fan base.

How can you surpass FFVII ? I dont think any FF game can surpass it. We will probably never get a remake of FF7 IMO...

the only one i can think of right now is FF Versus XIII, the reason is cause the dev team working on it made Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 and Final Fantasy VII Advent Children(which both games and movie are awesome) so if anyone can make a FF game to surpass FFVII, its got to be them, what ive heard and seen so far of Versus, its got major potential, but till they release it and i play it, i dont know for sure if it will surpass it, secretly though in my mind nothing will ever surpass FFVII XD

the only flaw in your logic is its also the same team that made 13 and 13-2 >.> good stories but gameplay was shit for 13 and pretty good for 13-2

the directors for each game are different people, for FF13 and 13-2 it was Motomu Toriyama, and for Versus its Tetsuya Nomura, so game play wont be the same, plus they said there will be towns, dungeons, and open world, so i have high hopes for it :)

Edit: also i looked around some more and nowhere does it say that they are the same team XD, so im not sure where you heard that but i havent found anything that says the dev teams are the same XD

I feel like the only one who doesn't think VII is the greatest in the series. I feel outnumbered:(

i had read a while back on the kingdom hearts 3 wiki that nomura was unable to work on KH3 until his work on the 13 series was finished back then it had said he was in charge of all of the 13 games but that was b4 the first one was released when i originally looked it up looking it up just now your right it only lists versus as the stumbling block preventing kingdom hearts 3

lol because it is the best :P, but there are other good games in the series also

oh okay and yeah he did help on designing the characters for 13 and 13-2 but that's it, and i hope Versus comes out sometime soon so we can KH3 already lol, ive been waiting for that forever XD
