I'd be happy if all they did was update the characters in VII so they weren't minecraft-esque robots. And voice acting. it's 2012 now, i'm over reading dialogue.

No answer, must be that deaf bitch.

What's the opposite of the midas touch? You know, where everything you touch turns to shit? That's Square-Enix right now.

I like how he out and out says that graphics>content.

That's pretty much what I got from it.

I give the FF series two more entries at best before they die, if they don't wake up and realize people don't give a shit about uber-realistic graphics. All they want is a game that's fun to play.

FF7 doesn't suck by modern standards because the graphics are outdated, it sucks because the gameplay is outdated.

Turn based combat and random encounters can still be fun and engaging, in small quantities.

That entire interview shows how out of touch Kitase and Square Enix in general is today.

BUT THE BACKGROUNDS WERE STATIC.

WHAT.

Absolutely true. It would take 1/2 the work (or less) if they remake it in the same 3d models on 2d backgrounds engine. Make the in-game 3D models FF13 level, remake the FMVs (can re-use a lot of material from Advent Children for that), dig up the original 2D background art, replace the midi backgrounds with the orchestral arrangements (remember how awesome that was for the English release of Dragon Quest 8?), maybe add in VA work and some new content. Yeah, not a piece of cake, but considering FF7 sold TEN MILLION COPIES, and retains the biggest fanbase of any FF so far... it's honestly crazy not to.

Considering that they could get $50 for the game, they wouldn't be losing money on the extra work investment. Not only that, I'm willing to bet it'd sell more PS3 units.

Screw them. Mistwalker is the true Square now. The company went to crap when they ditched the Gooch.

Besides, games like Skyrim existing proove that he's full of crap. Skyrim probably has more area than an FFVII remake would need and still looks pretty good.

Woe unto he who tries to be helpful, for upon him shall be lain the burdens of all.

I still haven't played any Mistwalker games, but that seems to be the case. They actually put the care into making their games that Square used to.

BUT, I would shamefully still buy an FF7 remake if they ever decided they want my money. I want to see Midgar in updated graphics and orchestral music, but with more freedom than Crisis Core!

Was a joke (apparently not as obvious as intended)... and you just read that today?

So SE are saying they won't make a remake of FF7, but need to make a game that surpasses the popularity of FF7 as a remake would kill the franchise. It's a fair argument.

But they'll never make that game with the current staff.

That said, that Shinta guy who was the first comment is a fucking idiot.
