FFVII Remake Petition

There's a petition flying around the net for the remake of FFVII and has received almost 14,000 signatures. The rumor of FFVII being remade started when SquareEnix showed a tech demo running for the PS3 but so far, there are no confirmation that it is, in fact, under development.

[Rythrine]

I just signed. I thought I might share this with my fellow FFVII fans out there who weren't aware about this like me.

[Omega Kaze]

Final Fantasy VII although maybe not the best in the series(arguably), its the game that I became extremely attached to as a kid. When I hear the theme songs played of it can make me sad, or send chills down my spine. This would be an amazing remake if they ever did it.

[PS360WII]

I mean come on. What is a petition going to do really. Square Enix already knows about a hundred times over that people want a FFVII remake. They'll make it when they want or if ever.

[Captain Tuttle]

Petitions are silly.

[johnnywit]

well, I don't know what a petition will do, but if they remade this game on PS3 I would buy 2 of them. If you want to talk about a game that will sell systems this is it. I personally think FF7 has one of the best stories ever and some of the most memorable characters as well. I hope they remake it.

[Bebedora]

for the rest of the world at times, you know that culture are not driven by petitions. So, I agree with you. Still, sweet if made. That E3 demo of FFVII just causes braindamage because you still hoping.

[Chug]

If they remake this classic.

[VirusE]

This would sell a TON of ps3s. FFVII is in my opinion the best final fantasy ever. The materia system rocked, the story was amazing and sephiroth was just cool as hell. How can you not like a guy whos special move is to destroy the universe? Sure it took like 5 minutes but i never got tired of watching it.

[Odion]

6 is better *cough* What?

[VirusE]

6 was one of the only ones that i never got a chance to play.

[Panthers]

I am going to sign this right now. Couldnt hurt. At the very least they need to release the original game on the PSN. I would love a remake though. Materia was my favorite way of learning spells and skills. Plus the whole chocobo quest. No other FF after gave Chocobos taht kind of attentioin

[Robotz Rule]

Thanks for the hookup Rythrine,I hope us PS3 owners(and future PS3 owners)see a remake of one of the greatest games of all time!

[Rythrine]

Actually, we can all thank my cousin. He emailed me the link. I wish this remake will become a reality. Here's hoping.

[Keyser]

Tell your cousin we said thanks. :)

[PS3Rebel]

TGS square shocks the world with FF7 release dec 2007

[risk]

that would be icing on the cake.

[akaFullMetal]

to actually sway anything, you would need like a half million signatures, nothing under a hundred thousand will do anything, but look at it, say "wow thats nice."

Just look to over all the remake that S-E made-up before. One of this day when no one expecting... like a TIMEBOMB S-E it gonna blow our mind away with such announce. Meantime let's has a blast with the the Fabula compilation ^^.

[Bill Gates]

Sign me up.

[[email protected]]

Me too.

Well, S-E has to make the remake one of these days. When, the White Engine gets the best of it. I know without a single doubt on my mind that S-E will release that remake for sure.

[Rythrine]

Agreed. I always thought that their was a reason why they showed that FF7 tech demo. It was a sign of things to come.

[Chug]

If they actually remade this game, if it would be as phenomenal as the original? Think about it...They would have to completely redo almost everything in a different way to keep up with todays standards in videogames. I think the original was simply in the right place at the right time. Dont get me wrong, I still want this game, but I just dont think it would be the same.

[risk]

nope. its originality is what really set it apart. if they released it...i would rather they touched NOTHING on the gameplay/story. only redo the graphics engine.

[getrdone]

I agree. Just change the graphics and thats it.

[airjordan9]

this is a must do for square-enix.

[Sexius Maximus]

but I always thought that FF6 (3 on SNES) was the best in the series. If they did a nice remake (the Playstation 1 remake doesn't count) I'd like to see FF6 done. FF7 may be my second choice though.

[Shadow Flare]

My favourite game and in my opinion the best game ever made

[AllroundGamer]

FF8 was the best, i want a remake of that one too!! now all i have to do is start a petition... ;)

[timmyp53]

but ill sign anway.

[Zhuk]

cant hurt signing it, FFVII was a beautiful game that made me fall in love with the original playstation, I'd love to see a true remake but I just want updated visuals and less fighting on the world map! dont change anything else

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

I hope under NO circumstances to change anything from combat system material system. Leave it original just better graphics and vioce acting!

[the_bebop]

Square Enix dosen't have the time for doing a remake at this time for the reasons that, Tetsuya Nomura is probably considered there main person to be in charge of these types of projects because of his success with the Kingdom Heart series. At the moment he is working on FFVSXIII and is probably going to have his hands full with the next Kingdom Hearts based game that we have been hearing about then followed the third actual sequel to Kingdom Herats 2.

[LeShin]

I don't think this petition will do anything.......simply because I reckon SE are going to remake it eventually anyway though it probably won't be out for a looooong time as they're working on so many projects. The demand is definitely there and I think they know that practically everybody that purchased FFVII would buy it i.e. a ton of people!

I loved FF6 but there's only ever been two RPG's I've played beginning to end FIVE times each and they are FFVII and Xenogears.

Man, if they remade Xenogears as well (Not Xenosaga though I liked the series) that would be the pinnacle!

[AbyssGravelord]

I'd sign it...

If they were to make it on the xbox 360 aswell but if they only want it on PS3 it wouldn't do me any good since Im not going to get one.

[Descendant]

I mean the guy doesn't even mention how beautiful the tech demo was, and not to mention he is directing it to SqaureSoft in which doesn't exist anymore.

[Rooftrellen]

Great games are great because of what they are, not what they look like. Pop the old version back in and have some fun. If you can't because of the graphics, there's just no helping you at all. There's no reason for a group of people spending time updating graphics on an old game that you can already play when they could be making a new game, and you can still enjoy the same version you've had for 10 years just as well as the version they would be working on.

[Azurite]

They already know a horde of people want a remake... this won't change anything.
Seeing as how they've done before a remake of FFVII will be released anyhow, be it 2 to 20 or more years from now.
People needs to learn patience.

[Bloodshedder]

id like a remake of FVIII but i guess they wont make neither

[okcomputer]

True, Squall was imo the best lead character in any ff game.

[jinn]

if they remake it, it had it's time and they need to move on. the more they try to evolve ff7, the more lame it gets. it's had a movie and sequel games and it's time to move on.

[MaximusPrime]

remake it and make it EXCLUSIVE to PS3!!! PLEAAAAASEEE.

I love that film, Advent Children!

[okcomputer]

Not to be too much of a pessimist here (i love ffvii just like the rest, and would love to see a remake) but if the guaranteed tens of millions they could make off of the game haven't convinced them to do a remake yet, what makes anyone think a couple thousand signatures would do it?

[Shaka2K6]

I was going to, but mehhhh still im sure the Remake will happend sooner or later.

[macalatus]

Of all the PS1 and 2 main FF characters, Cloud is the one that I liked the most. Why? The other characters were just way too annoying or just plain lame. Let me see...Squall reminds me of that "anti-social kid" back in high school, Tidus that "dorkish kid", and Zidane, well, reminds me waaaayyyy too much of Goku from Dragon Ball Z.

The FFVII PS3 demo, is quite arguably, the worst/greatest tease in video game history!!

[San anto]

that site is stupid, its so easy to sign the petition more than once :D
useless.

Indeed would be a great remake, best game ive played.

[greed]

Truthfully people want this game because it touched so many of us.... the characters the storyline the sheer masivness of the game i mean this game was the reason i became a gamer i would have never picked up a rpg or pretty much any other game if i had never played this it was just so awsome and great the greatest game ever in my opinion i mean spending over a hundred hours on it it would have to be

[kingjkv]

One of the most engaging storyline ever. I played this game 8 years ago and it was brilliant. I just loved my PS1 to death because of this game. Every character has a story behind it and they are just beautiful. The combat system and the storyline was absolutely original. After all these years, there's not a single game that comes close to this one in terms of storyline. I finished the game twice 100% and that's over 80 hours each time playing. I have never spend that much time on any other RPG. I just hope to GOD that they are working behind the scenes on this game, because that Tech Demo really threw me off guard. I mean why not show some other Tech Demo, why did it have to FFVII, there's a reason.

[wingzero]

If square dont see that GAMERS want ff7 so bad they got a problem just as game developers as a problem with the ps3 so sad,so sad indeed. JUST REMAKE THE DAMNED THING PLEASE,and sorry for my outburst.true gamers keep up the fight.

[mirroredderorrim]

This would be a bomb on the whole gaming industry that would overshadow Halo 3. A game that has longevity and that has sold millions over Halo. It would be that way since fans are pretty much hungry for it to happen. (fans that exceed the Xbox user base)
Fans that own all consoles. This game is one of my most wanted, for sure.

I only mention Halo 3 since it's going to be a gigantic marketing campaign that pushes the game.
