I have enjoyed Final Fantasy games sine the very first one on Nintendo. I liked them so much I actually bought a Famicom just to get FFII and FFIII. I was upset when they called FFIV II and FFVI III. But when FFVII came out I was in total shock and amazement. It was like every final fantasy before it was just an appetizer for this great game. The storyline is probably the most memorable I’ve ever followed. It seemed like ever final fantasy game that came after 7 was just moving in a down hill direction. I still liked 8, loved 8 actually, 9 was just crap. They tried to hard to go back to the roots but just couldnt bring the story to its full potential. FFX… the first Final Fantasy to have a sequel… was so undeserving. The main character was a little whiny bitch with daddy issues, not to mention a little surfer boy trying to play hero. 11 would have been an awesome MMO but they tried to hard to copy the Korean style of grind to such an extent that you’d have to play it 20+ hours a day 7 days a week for 2 years and you’d still only reach level 20. 14 claims to have changed that and made it WoW easy to level. Final Fantasy 12 is by far the WORST instalment of the series. The storyline was garbage, the graphics were definately downgraded from 10, the music score sucked, the battle system was a rip off of 11 the game as a whole was just a huge disappointment and total waste of 60 bucks(got the collector’s edition). Characters from just about every final fantasy have been in other games, but only one game features a character from this game and he was garbage in that. The psp version of FF Tactics had Balthazar. But on the same note cloud has appeared in about 8 games. Dissidia being the newest which as sad as it is does not include a final fantasy 12 character story path. That just goes to show how much Square Enix is ashamed of that game. FF13 is probably going to be great but I’m not getting my hopes too high. Versus 13 on the other hand I am putting right where I put 7 when it came out. As for a remake of 7, yeah it would be awesome, fully voiced, upgraded graphics and physics engines, Have The Black Mages do the music scores, add in a few missing plot points, like the guy in the tunnel when you first meet aeris, is it Zack or not? The number 2 tatoo on him suggests yes but you never get any real answer to that question. DO NOT give people the ability to revive aeris, that would just defeat te purpose in her death. Yes, I loved aeris just as much as anyone else. I even cried the first 6 times I played through the game. But giving you the ability to somehow bring her back would remove the emotion from that entire sequence. If not a remake of 7 I would suggest a playable version of advent children or a game based around the events between the end of 7 and the beginning of Advent Children. But as I’ve caught myself rambling again I’ll end it there. Go ahead and bash my comment like I know you all want to. Bash to your little hearts desires because whatever you have to say against me I can come right back and prove you wrong… I will bury you with your own words.

Hey “sephiroth ” **** you! Final Final Fantasy XII is one of the best! I loved Tactics Advance, and therefore loved the world of Ivalance! FFVII is my 2nd fav so far.

And yes Final Fantasy XI was kinda eh, but some people liked it. And I have heard from numerous people that FFIX was the personal favorite of some.

So cut the crappy FFVII fanboy crap out!
FFVII, was okay in the day, but a then all the prequel and sequel stuff came out. Never playing FFVII in the past I was so exited about Advent children . . . then when it came out I was like what? This is it? That movie sucked! (sucked compared to all the hype it caused)
And I like Crisis Core, but I still havn’t beat it, I’m using a modded psp with cheats, and I’m still forcing myself to play it.

When you get out of your little world of emo dressed people lifting ginormous swords that fail epicly in real life . . .come join the rest of us and move on to bigger and better games!

Yes final fantasy 7 is and will be the best game ever. If they realese it on PS3 I would go as far to say that it would outsell the final fantasy 13 that is muchly anticipated. I cant wait to see what ff7 will look like with PS3 graphics thats so awesome man…………

Im so sick of all this FFVII fanboy hype crap! It was a great game don’t get me wrong. I finished it a few times when it first came out. I just wish they would finally admit that it is being remade, put it out and be done with it! I’ll buy it and and play it again. Then they can finally get around to remaking FFVIII! Thats my favorite FF game anyway! I dont care what anyone says about it!

Well they could put in all that crap that got ret-conned in with all the other games they’ve made to shoehorn in on this one.

And maybe get a decent translation.

And… yeah I got nothing.

Chris -

They could kill Cloud and Sepiroth in the first fifteen minutes and instead have the game revolve around Aeris throwing tea parties for Barrett. “What kind of scones should I make today? Blueberry!”

I’d buy that just for the outrage.

Considering the most important part of any RPG is the story, I doubt there is much they could do make 7 better. You’d still have the same uninteresting and entirely unlikable characters in the same boring story.

Final Fantasy XII is the only FF I’ve liked since I, II and Tactics.

I liked XII. To each their own though. I think there’s a lot they could do with a remake of Final Fantasy VII, but I’d rather see them come out with new games than going back to the dead horse of Final Fantasy VII yet again.

when they make this game for the ps3 it will shock the world those that have now been let down by the recent final fantasy games such as final fantasy 11, 12 and 9 but when they remake final fantasy 7 which mayb confirmed after final fantasy 13 and final fantasy versus 13 has been made the makers of final fantasy 7 might get together to remake the best game in the world ff7

Apparently it doesn’t have that option if your PS3 is set to full screen instead of widescreen. I’d since found that out later. For some reason when I unplugged it and moved it in my entertainment center it lost all it’s settings and I had to set it up again.

Thanks for the head’s up though.

Dude, you can change the PS3 screen ratio for the game only – while in the game. Hit the home button and choose “Screen Size” (or something like that) and choose NORMAL instead of FULL. Boom, done and done. Best part is that it only does it for this game, not the whole system, and it also has the manual for it as well.
