Things I want:
1. Make it pretty.
2. Clean up grammar errors but otherwise leave the script intact.
3. Speed up the flow of combat--mainly by reducing the length of battle animations.
I'm sure 1 and 2 are a given. As for 3, IMO, FFX-2's battle system would be a great fit for this remake.
I'm mostly curious what Cloud they write in for FF7. He's been rewritten quite a few times since his original debut

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Well it's "in celebration of the 20th anniversary of FF7" but that is a year and a half away. That's way too long to just be FF7 HD, this is a legit remake.
Here are the changes that I 100% guarantee will happen:
- All dialogue will be voice acted
- The graphics will look phenomenal
- The story will be translated properly, yet somehow make even less sense
- Combat will not include any menus and will instead just rely on pressing X to attack
- Enemies will be fought in the dungeon while exploring, not in a separate battle screen, and you will be able to move around the environment as you fight to avoid attacks
- Cloud's skillset will consist of Attack, Braver and Omnislash, nothing else
- Cloud will be able to equip only one materia at a time
- Weapon upgrades will no longer exist; Buster Sword for entire game
- Cloud will have highly cinematic combat movements, swinging his sword around in all kinds of patterns that look like they should be based on the player's attack timing and positioning and what direction they're pushing on the joystick, but actually it's all 100% automatic, like in Kingdom Hearts and FF15
- All other party members will be completely AI controlled
- Many locations will be removed from the game, and 75% of the game will take place in Midgar and Junon
- Everyone's outfits will be redesigned by Tetsuya Nomura to be 1000% more emo, even though he was the one who designed the original outfits in the first place

Has the 2nd Golden Age of the JRPG begun? Only time will tell.
In all seriousness, I might be glad I didn't play the original, so I'll probably go out of my way to get a PS4 and play this widely-lauded game for the first time.

I mean, it's not going to be the same game. It's not even going to be a similar game. It's going to be a completely different, infinitely worse game with sort of the same story.

[insert part where he says they're looking for KH2 as gameplay reference
see? i told you
even lockez agrees
BUT LET'S NOT BE PESSIMISTIC
THEY STILL DID MANAGE TO PULL OUT SOME PRETTY NICE STUFFS LIKE BRAVELY DEFAULT AND 4HOL AMIDST ALL THAT GARBAGE
Maybe I should play the original first, then I can at least compare the two when this remake comes out in.. 2017...?

The ten-year-old in me literally cried watching this. xD I don't think I've ever been so happy over an E3 announcement.
I am hoping they ditch the Advent Children voice cast tbh though.
author=LockeZI mean, do people really want to replay the same carbon-copy game with enhanced visuals and voice-acting? They can do so much more cinematically with this game's incredible story, and if they can keep the spirit of the original, they definitely should! Hopefully Nomura keeps the hack-and-romp combat FAR away from this one.

Wait, the original wasn't a mash A to win game? I'm being honest when I say most of Final Fantasy - I tried out every game from 1 to 7 - plays exactly like this. Not gonna bother playing a 40 hour snoozefest to fight the one and only battle that requires any form of thinking.

Well, it's on sale for $8.39 on Steam right now. Might want to jump on it.

But that's clearly because of the lack of difficulty and strategic depth the game provided: The actual system was very deep and interesting, but it was terribly unexplored.
It deserves to be better explored nowdays instead of just HURR DURR LET'S MAKE CLOUD MOVE LIKE LIGHTNING

It'll finally get all the FF7 fanboys/girls to shut the hell up about wanting a remake, and at the same time I call all the BS, because FF5 and 6 didn't get a proper remake, it's as if they just skipped out on those two and made half assed ports of them and updated the graphics and released them on other systems, but they didn't get as much attention as FF4 did with their remakes.
I'll still get this when it comes out. I was more a FF6 fan than 7, but I won't lie when I say I'm interested, but heavily annoyed.

We still need a 3D FF1 remake with Yoshida as the art director, too, but
HELL YEAH
WE
HAVE
FFVII AGAIN

you talk for yourself.
I sure do want to see Gaia in HD. It's a new artistic rendition of the game world, one that'll allow us to be drawn much closer to it and share a vision much closer than what they wanted to show, without the dampening of limited hardware or software. It's awesome. Saying "I don't play games for the graphics" is a hipster thing. I mean, I don't actively pursue graphics when looking for games but I can appreciate a nice art direction yes? It's part of the pack.
