Ahahahaha. I can taste the FF7 fanboy tears.

They need to face the fact that Final Fantasy 7 was a very ugly game, Nick. It might have looked great at the time, and the cutscenes still look nice enough, but those blockheads in the game just would upconvert in such a pretty way.

But really, it's because the PS3 and Vita can't play PS2 games! Sony and others all have a chance to rerelease those PS2 games, where they just have downloadable PSX games. It's the perfect plan!

That's actually a good point about re-releasing PS2 games.

And Final Fantasy VII wasn't an ugly game, honestly. The models were pretty limited, and the blockiness was bad, but the settings and most other elements were well done. But yes, today, it would need to be remade. Upconverting wouldn't cut it.

Oh, yeah, the prerendered stuff looked pretty. I meant the characters. I've think I've made people out of Lincoln Logs that look better than the overworld FF7 characters.

But even with all the extra work it would take, can you imagine how much money they'd make with an FF7 remake?

Especially if they threw in a retranslation, maybe some new materia. That game would sell PS3s.

I agree with Kyle. I'd sooner assume they'd want to put in the extra effort to remake 7 because it would be a gravy train. Honestly, who wouldn't buy it? I don't even like the game all that much, but I'd be inclined to grab it to see if a new coat of paint makes it more appealing.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were waiting for the PS4 to make the game. Imagine if it was revealed as a launch title? They could roll out a similar trailer that the did with the tech demo they did for the PS3 and then tag on "This time we're serious." People would go nuts.
