Final Fantasy VII: Remake (Discussion and Speculation)

I read everyone's posts and I agree with most of what you guys want, but one thing I would like to see myself is a new battle system. Something that resembles Final Fantasy XII or Kingdom Heats II.

I've been playing a lot of action adventure titles lately, like God of War, Devil May Cry 3, Ninja Gaiden, and I think it a remake should incorporate some of the elements from these games.

I first started wanting this after watching Advent Children and playing Dirge of Cerberus. Seeing what the battles should be like, I want a remake to be faster paced and more action oriented. Rather than just being purely strategic, I want the fights to be skill based.

Kingdom Hearts II was a big influence as well. When I fought Cloud, Tifa and Yuffie in the Underdrome I knew that SquareEnix could pull it off. It was really the moment where I decided that a turned based RPG wouldn't be as enjoyable.

Don't get me wrong, I love traditional RPGs. I've been playing them for most of life. But for FFVII I want a game that focuses as much on gameplay, as on story. But I know Square wouldn't do it, because it might alienate some of the original fans of the game, and thats really who it's for. But still, I think it would make it appeal to the more casual game player, and to me. ^_^

Anyways, the chances of a remake are pretty slim. I think instead of spending the amount of time and money remaking the game, they would make a sequel instead. Which they already hinted at in some of the other FFVII Complilation titles.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
