With the compilation of VII and all the games that have been released its certainly possible they could remake or at least re release VII but Square has said absaloutely nothing about doing so.

interview in the OFFICIAL Playstation 2 Magazine states that Squaresoft ARe remaking the game article is from 6 months ago i might still have it somehwere or i couldve lent it out (cheats in the back for games very good ones too)

No, I'd say, we can all hope. It would be nice if they re-made it. It is the most bankable in the series so has the highest probability of a re-make.

I'm playing VII *right* now for the first time. About to take on Sephiroth actually. So, fairly unbiasedly...its not perfect, it does have its faults, and generally I'd have to say yeah, it is slightly over-rated, but it's still truly fantastic. Not sure where I'd place it in my fave FF's yet, time will determine that

fanboy rivalry....you fit into my stated criteria...I bet you are quite the rebel in your bedroom. You hate VII 'fanboys'..why exactly? You appear to be a VI Fanboy. But eh..this juvenile tit-4-tat slanging match is beneath me. I made my point, which I believe is true, backed up firmly by 'The Man's' reply. I need say no more.

Why doesnt VI have sequels? Because VI cant have sequels. The ending was neat, concise, and over and done with. Games like X and VII left themselves open for more, for speculation and further gaming. I really dont know what they'd do at the end of VI that would warrant more games or movies. That and, like Aaron said, VII was the commercial success. VI never exactly caught on in America, not wide-spread like VII did. VII soared in both Japan and America, and hence the reason why it's getting sequels. It's the same reason why X got a sequel... because it was open for one, and because sales warranted risking the endeavor.

I dont see why disliking VII makes you a VI fan boy. I dont see anyone here screaming for more VI, I dont see anyone here going "OMFG KEFKA RULEZ ALL YOU ALL SUX", but apparantly the only response to "We dislike VII fanboys" is "Well YOU'RE a fanboy." I know you are but what am I, here we come.

If you'd like to explain other reasons why Aaron (The Man) is a VI fanboy, I'm open to hearing them.

I dont see why we cant have this discussion without being attacked. Well I do, and the reason has already been stated.

Thats right and Its called Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, Before Crisis and Crisis Core
Good point, VI had a neat ending with no strings left to tug at.
