RPG Remake Idea

[WarmAndSCSI]

I wonder how much money Square/Enix could make if they completely re-did Final Fantasy VII. As in, making the graphics on today's standards, etc. adding stuff to the world, extending the story, allowing more variation in the story, etc. I think it'd be a good idea.

And also - is FFXI going to be online ONLY or is it going to have a single-player game too? I don't like the idea of an online-only FF RPG

I've thought about that as well. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Exactly why it's such a great idea.

I want them to wait for the next generation of consoles though. It could be one of their shipping titles, they would already have a fleshed out story. FF7 would look amazing on a PS2 or Xbox, but imagine 2 years from now. Tifa on Xbox 2....

I think it would be a better idea if they did it with Chrono Trigger. Best RPG EVER.

That would be a system-seller for me. I don't have either an Xbox or a PS2, but if a remade CT was a launch title for a PS3 or Xbox2, I'd be all over it.

I'd also be content with the original on GBA

the game wasn't that good. sheesh. all you n00bs that didn't even play the snes versions don't know what you're talking about. FF2 had a much better story.

Far as I know, FFXI is going to be online-only . It's been released in Japan for over half a year now I think, so now they're just waiting to ship it over here.

I'm not to keen on messing the storyline, adding more parts to the world, etc.. if they did a remake of FFVII for better graphics. The way it was shouldn't be changed, or it's not really the FFVII I loved.

Give me Final Fantasy II or III any day!

Same here. I don't have GBA but if they released it on GBA I'd probbably pick one up. If they remade it for any system with updated graphics and maybe a more in-depth (read: more detailed, not a gazillion characters like in chrono cross) story line with a few more things to do I would be waiting in line the day it was released to pick it up.

If they redo 7, they had better redo 4, 5, and 6 as well. 7 was really good, but not as good as the previous three.

Oooh! FF Fanatics

Personally I don't want to see any of them remade. That is how I am - You played it be thankful for it. When a remake occurs someone always trys to point out problems or they complain over something...

Now FF7-2 (however they would do that considering at the end you see the "500 years later" with REDXIII) would be interesting though I am more interested in Chrono Break and more Final Fantasies (along with the SaGa series)


Fenix: FF7 Did have a good story. There were some missing plots that might be considered essential (why Sephiroth was admired by all...what did he fight in/do beyond what we learned of Cloud as a child...also some things muddle the story a tad) depending how you see it but overall I thought the game was VERY well done (much better than FF9. Then again I'm one who thinks that FF8 had a great story and was actually a good game if you could understand that god-awful junction system...I would put it on auto and I would "Set it and Forget it!" As for FF2/FF3 I would argue otherwise. I loved both but obviously the translations were botched up (thank god the FF Chronicles and Anthology), especially Final Fantasy 3/6


To me the best RPG out there is Xenogears....I haven't seen an RPG delve that much into philosophy and questioning I loved it. That and for some reason I loved battling for nearly two straight hours followed by twenty straight minutes of in game cutscenes and text

As for Chrono Trigger I would prefer to see Chrono Break. I was amazed by Chrono Cross (talk about replay value! And oh my all the characters each with unique moves!) and thought it was worth every cent...I can only imagine what Chrono Break would be

 

[KthxBye]

Pffff everyone knows FF1 was the best...I can still hear the fight music in the back of my mind.

 

[Lonyo]

I wish I could find a copy of the original FF7 for PC, but nowhere seems to have it :'(

 

[LordJezo]

Final Fantasy 6 (III) would be the best one to remake on today's standards.

7 is already polygonal. 6 was sprite. Remaking that one would be a much bigger leap.

This is something I've been thinking about for a long time - I'd love to see FF7 brought up to par with today's PC or console graphics. The SNES versions I'm not so sure about though. As someone else said, FF7 was already 3D, albeit with a low poly count, so it wouldn't be that big of a change. Changing the other FF games from their sprite-based origins to 3D, IMO, just wouldn't be right. It wouldn't look right. I don't know, maybe I'm just a little old-fashioned

FF1!!! fight abouyt 16 imps for a ship.

 

[benliong]

actually wasn't it you had to fight 9 pirates to get the first ship =p

they need to remake some of the nes rpgs: faxanadu, crystalis, etc.

 

[Acanthus]

Chrono Trigger = best RPG evar.

Chrono Cross for PS abruptly ended the series, they messed up bad.

KEWL idea!

I'd pre-order immediately. I'd also love to see classics such as FFIII and Chrono Trigger remade for X-box / PS2 or higher or even PC using DX9 (I can dream can't I?).
