Okay this is a hypothetical question to see how people would react. What if SE did a remake of VII but it was in old-school 2D style? The pre-rendered cut scenes would remain but the rest down to combat was 2D. How ould this make you feel?


P.S. I am aware of a FFI hack game of FFVII but I'm looking at this title looking more like VI.

I would be somewhat interested, mainly because of my pixels > polygons complex.

Confused, because squenix doesn't normally move backwards. And yes, in my opinion 2D is backwards. It can be brilliant, but there's nothing new to be gained from it :P

I like 3D better.

FFIV -

remade July 22, 2008

FFVII -

I'm kinda guessing ff7 won't be remade until like 2015 but according to the aztk calander the worlds suppose to end somewhere at like december 2012. Right when a presdental election will be made in the usa.

jk it could be out whenever but it might be a long time from now

frankly cut scenes were awful, why insist on keeping them unchanged? As for game itself - any examples of 2d in high definition similar in style to ff6?

Unsurprisingly, it would make me feel like I was not going to buy it. I understand that nostalgia would want people want VI in 2D, but in VII, it would really be a step backwards. Nanaki would look plain silly. How would Cloud go into his crazy possessed state? A lot of the game is explained through body language, albeit simplistically. Put it into 2D, and that would all be lost.

I wouldnt like it, 3D suits VII for me.
I also think 3D wouldnt suit some of the older Final Fantasys.
