I must be really behind the times, I was just over at Gamespot where I discovered that Squaresoft have planned to remake FF7 through to 9 on the Playstation 2. Now I've heard nothing about this and I can't find much info about it on the net can anyone shed any light on this? I really hope they do, the possibilities are endless, the Aeris ressurection anyone?

P.S - heres the page if any of you want to take a look for your self: http://gamespot.com/gamespot/feature...are/p3_01.html

i loved 7, eight sucked royally, but i never played 9 heard it was fairly good. i wish they throw in tactics

Tactics would be a nice remake. i don't know about any one else, but all the grammatical mistakes in the dialog really, really annoyed me. It was an awesome game, but that really detracted from it for me... I really don't see much of a point in remaking any of those games unless they were going to change the game in some way. A graphical make-over will not get me interested enough to buy them for the PS2. And I was pretty pleased with 9 as it is.

i heard something about a tactics sequel but it may have just been a rumor

Im not interested in anything to do with FInal Fantasy unless its coming out on PC and done properly, IE menus that are not full of acronyms and such.

Uh, acronyms? Haven't spotted a single one of those in FF7 so far [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And I truly hope that they do NOT do an Aeris resurrection. Let the stupid woman STAY dead.

I rather hope that they make Vincent and Yuffie bigger parts of the game. At least including them in the FMV's.

Let me provide a sample of FF8s acronyms:

str
mag
def
spr
spd
lck
hit
elm-j
elm-atk
elm-def
sta-atk

On FF7 - I liked Aeris, although I agree that more Vincent and Yuffie would be good.

Acronyms shouldn't be much of a problem, since most of them are fairly common, at least in fantasy/role playing gaming. Some are Final Fantasy centric, but that's what the instruction manual is for, right?... But I agree that the menus need to be redone when the game comes out for the PC. I don't want a direct console port, I want it to take advantage of the advantages PCs have over consoles. Honestly, I think that most companies are too lazy to do something like that, preferring the console crowd to the PC crowd. They are really missing out on a big market, in my opinion.

Personally I rather like the console menu's :D They're really not that different from PC menu's. Perhaps mouse support could be added, but beyond that I can't really think of anything that I want changed [img]smile.gif[/img]

I can live with the acronyms and abreiviations. The problem is that there symptomtomatic of something else. 640*480 resolution!

Come on, the dark ages ended quite some time ago.
