Remaster Disaster: Take the Nostalgia, Leave the Rest
Head Stuff: "I’m sure that Final Fantasy VII’s remaster will be hugely popular. Even I want to see Sephiroth’s descent depicted in a new graphical glory. But I’m concerned that it’ll start chipping away at the memory from when I first played it. Some characters and places won’t be how I imagined them to be. There’ll be the sudden introduction of voices and dialogue which, no doubt, will be delivered differently to how I originally read it. The broad strokes will be right, but they’ll lose… something. Some magic that only exists when your imagination fills in the gaps. Even if it looks and sounds exactly as you imagined, the game won’t be what you remember."
