i heard about this a while before FFX. they delayed making the PS2 versions so they could get FFX & FFXI finished. it could be a while before there released. also i don't think there will be much(if any) extra content, like extra vincent and yuffie stuff. mainly it'll be things like tweaked graphics and on FF7 they'll make it so you don't have to hold x to run (wahoo!). having spent 450+ hours on FF7 Alone i'll probably buy the updates.

Edit: i forgot to add, THE AERIS RESURECTION WILL <font size=6>NEVER</font> HAPPEN!
this is for two reasons. 1. they don't want to resurect her and 2. it completely goes against the plot.

To be honest Id be more interested in a remake of FF1 through 6. There are 3 games I can never play without learning Japanese, and even the other 3 need emulators. I woudnt want them updated technicaly (although FF6 level graphics would be nice), just translated and ported to PC.

@Bruce, Aeris was originaly resurectable (that whole key to midgard thing was part of it), but was changed before. The net was full of guides to the aeris resurrection till people got the idea that it wasnt possible. But to put it in now would mean adding dialogue and everything for her, so I dont think it will happen.

The first three can are also be played in english, some chap was kind enough to translate them all, but still you would require an emulator to play them.

As for remakes to the earlier games 1 - 3 have already been remade on the wonderswan colour and they look quite nice.(unfortuantly the wonderswan colour is unavailiable over here in england, and even if i ordered one the games would be in japanese :( ), here are a few screen shots of ff1 remake:

there has been a rumour going round that these remakes are planned for release on the gameboy advance, I sure hope so.

I loved 7 hated 8 wanted to beak it once i got it the day it came out and i never played 9.

I loved FF7 and FF8 but I hated FF9.
In the FF7 remake they should at least have Vincent and Yuffie in the FMV's.
And Aeris should stay DEAD. It's an important part in the plot of the game. They should not change the story to meet popular demand. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

Multiple endings would be nice as well. (I can dream) :D
