I have mixed feelings about this ...
1. Advent Children more than fulfilled my need for the "graphics" update to FF7. (And it is pretty much set in stone that AC's models will be used for the remake.)
2. I have played (replayed) FF7 at least a dozen times since its inception; thus a remake with better graphics IS NOT necessarily going to make any startling revelation/s for me. (Maybe if they improve the ???battle system??? -- who knows if doing that will make the game less or more enjoyable for me. That remains to be seen. But if it is simply an upgrade to Kingdom Hearts or FF13/15 battling then I could care less.)
Obviously SE finally decided to "milk FF7" for all its worth, beta testing the market with AC (and Crisis Core/Vicent V's shooter, which were flops imho) a couple of years ago.
I tend to agree with most FF fanboys/girls. SE should remake FF6 instead. It definitely NEEDS the graphics update from the NES sprites. On top of that, it is a very good game on-par or better than FF7. It actually is the precursor for FF7. (I always doubted it, despite many FF fanboys/girls raving about how good it is because I never bothered to play/look into FF6. But by chance/boredom, I finally tried out the game and was immediately captivated. Granted I did not finish the game but would definitely buy/play it as a PS4 remake without question ...
