i would love a FFVII remake because i love playing the original every other year but as time goes on the graphics all though classic and starting to get to me. and as for the person that said just rerelease the original with better sound and being upscaled to HD the upscalling part is impossible the sounds can be remastered sure that wouldnt take that long but upscalling the graphics they all would have to be redone seeing as the original was designed for SD TV's HD tvs wherent even thought of during the original production.
(side note i dont mean that they werent thought of as in design wise im possitive HD TV's where in the design stages 10 years ago i mean they didnt think of even people having an HD TV at the time. just before someone comes and trys to go 'well you know they had HD prototypes back then...')
When I hooked my PS1 to my projector (720p native) the game looked like pixelated mess at 70" +. However when I watched the reminiscence of FFVIII on the Advent Children Movie disc on the projector FF7 didn't look like a pixelated mess, it looked as good as the movie.
I'm not saying an upscaled FF7 should look better I'm just saying they need o upscale it so it doesn't look pixelated on a big screen 1920x1080 TV. I doubt or rather hope the original game's data wasn't 320x240 but rather was downscaled to that. I think the PC version ran at 640x480 which would be much better then the original PS game and more acceptable.
I hope Sony is smart enough to recognize that releasing classic FF games that aren't readily available at brick and mortar stars like FFVII and FFVIII on the PS Store would sell a ton of consoles

Funny how we want remakes of old FF games more than XIII.
I got off the full PS3 remake of old FF games bandwagon ages ago. All I want now is the games cleaned up and released on the PS Store

well, if square-enix is going to release a PS3 exclusive version of VII, that'd be proof that S-E really hate M$ and they only agreed to make XIII multi-platform so they could enjoy that nice juicy bribe money (I reckon it must be in the region of $75-100 million baring in mind that M$ forked out $50 million just for some GTAIV DLC that no one cares about), but releasing a PS3 exclusive FFVII remake would all but doom the 360 version of XIII to failiure since any FF fan would buy a PS3 for a VII remake and (almost) anyone with both platforms would go with the PS3 version... but I guess I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here.
Microsoft bribed Paramount $50 million to leave blu-ray and become HD-DVD exclusive. A few months later HD-DVD went under. A waste
Microsoft bribed Rockstar $50 million for exclusive GTAIV DLC that nobody cares about anymore. A waste
Microsoft (from what I heard some time ago) is going to pay for the development of PS3 and 360's FFXIII. What's going to go wrong this time? I say FFXIII on the 360 doesnt even sell half as many copies as the PS3 FFXIII and moves nowhere as many 360s as PS3s.
The 360 has gotten 2 huge JRPGs from Final Fantasy Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi (Lost Odyessey+Blue Dragon) and both of them can't even surpass the 1 million sales mark.
PS3 FFXIII will sale 1 million in Japan alone during the first week. The 360 will be fortunate to get that many sells from North America and Europe combined.
PS3 FFXIII will also move a ton of PS3s in Japan while I question how many North American and European 360 owners are interested in JRPGs after witnessing the failures of Blue Dragon and Lost Odyessey
