Since the weekends can be about relaxing from work and talking about fun stuff, I was really excited this week at E3 that Sony and Squeenix announced a remake of Final Fantasy 7. This is something many, many people have asked for and now we're finally seeing it. If you've seen Advent Children then you have an idea of what the characters and environment could look like. I, for one, am stoked about this. I'm a little wary, however, of whether the game can keep its charm or whether this will be a big disappointment with an overhaul of the combat system and story.
And the big question, of course.....In the remake can you revive Aeris?

I was 15 when played it and it certainly evokes some great memories. I'll probably buy ps4 just to play this, and just sell it back afterwards. In the name of nostalgia.
The article stresses that it's a remake, not a remaster. It'll probably be significantly different, but still have the same feel and atmosphere. Knowing (the old) Square, they won't fuck it up, but who knows. Unfortunately, I'll buy it anyway.
Oh, and if you've seen the trailer, they sure know how to generate some hype.

You're damn right it's VII. We need to get rid of those dirty Arab numbers, made by terrorist scum, and use the Imperial Roman numbers like Jupiter himself intended, by Jove.

The AC probably doesn't understand that the Final Fantasy numbering system is not for counting. The numbers are part of the title to designate the main series from sequels and spin-offs. This is why FF Tactics doesn't have a number and why X-2 isn't XI.

or VIII, for that matter...

In the announcement video that I saw, there was a line like "Coming first to Playstation 4". I plan on starting with the assumption that they'll release it for the PC eventually and that my current machine will handle it.
