Square Enix Tech Director On FFVII: "I'd Like A Remake"

Julien Merceron, the company's technology director, has said that "as a player and a fan," he'd like to see a FFVII remake. That's a little encouraging, right?

And at this point I'd like them to actually do it, or STFU about it. And by "Them" I mean square and fans alike.

Have gotten worse than the Dreamcast 2 crowd.

I don't know what are you talking about... But FF VII is better than other thing.

I worry Yoichi Wada will make SE remake it as an FPS game.

Am being serious, this is the same guy who moved SE's entire headquarters because a fortune teller told him to, anythings possible with this fool in charge !

[oldfriend86]

You saved me the trouble of saying that myself.

Seriously, 1 out of 10 articles on N4G is basically another "FFVII remake?". Give it a rest.

[Snookies12]

Well that's nice to hear, but as long as that Wada moron is in charge of things Final Fantasy will remain a "decent" RPG and will never regain its former glory. He could regain credibility by putting "talented" staff in charge of the games, but he won't...

[Vegetapero]

Nice ever comment I Never see?
But maybe they are creating FFVII for this time after.

By the way ff7 wasn't all that. Geez, the load times had more lag than Bath and Body Works has oils and lotions. Random battles going from point a to point b. Read the review of the former xplay on g4 host says about it.

Again, let's talk about a game that's in the "what if" phase that may take 4 to 5 years to make. How many "what if this game gets a sequel or remade" topics are you gonna make?

Bring back SquareSoft Wada

[Vegetapero]

Wada San is very nice ! Let's Kitase, Hashimoto, Nomura and Merceron produce FF VII Remake.

[Cloudstar]

Merceron seems to be a really nice person

[Stari]

Bring back Squaresoft please !

[FFNul]

You want a Spirit Within 2 ?

[Digimortal]

The hell with 7 make a remake to 9. 7 blows.

[ziggurcat]

i'm sorry, but FFVII is horribly overrated...

[Stari]

You are !

[ChipChipperson]

All right already with these articles, a remake will happen when it happens.

[Trunksword]

The true fact is that you are a FFVI Fanboy !

[Cloudstar]

Lol maybe a FF III Fanboy ! x)

[Stari]

FF XII Fanboy ?

[ChipChipperson]

How do you get 'I'm being a fanboy' out of my comment? I'm commenting on the incessant articles talking about wanting a remake. THE REMAKE WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT HAPPENS! There is no point in asking Square Enix when they haven't been listening to the fans.

[Cloudstar]

Only Haters are here ? Where are fans, are you all vanished on the Lifestream

[FFNul]

I praise him for showing interest in a Final Fantasy VII remake but criticize him for his words that this generation "lasted too long" while working for a company that can barely produce console RPGs anymore.

Still, I'm glad he's open to the idea.
