Like this message to send it to the top!. A message from a long-time fan of the series and business student. I’ve enjoyed playing many Final Fantasy and Square Enix Games over the years. Chrono Trigger/Cross, FF9,X, 8 (except for disc 4), the list is longer but; the one I enjoyed most notably was Final Fantasy 7. If there were any game worth remaking, other than FF Tactics (maybe Chrono series), it is Final Fantasy 7. One high ranking member of your organization mentioned that remaking FF7 would ruin the company or something like that, and it should not be done until the original was surpassed. If that logic were to be applied logically, no remake of any other game should have been made until a game that surpassed FF7’s quality of experience had been made. With the exception of the PS one remakes of the earlier FF titles, naturally. To look at it from a business standpoint, you have known for a long time that great demand for one specific product exists, a FF7 remake. With PS4 coming out soon and lackluster sales of these following games: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (just guessing). A business consulting firm might advise that particular company to capitalize on its greatest asset to recoup some losses. To address the issue of needing to create a title that surpasses Final Fantasy 7 in quality of experience and craft; perhaps through giving FF7 the remake that lives up to expectations, the company will grow its ability to create a game that surpasses it on a modern console. Plus it’s a guaranteed success, millions would be pre-ordered. People who haven’t played video games since FF7 would buy it. Consider the following to explain how this remake would help create the game that would surpass FF7. By analyzing the underlying principles that made FF7 stand out against other FF’s, the company can make a game that isn’t a clone of FF7 nor follows it in a formulaic manner. In a way, it would bring the company back closer to the fundamentals of making a truly great gaming experience, epic in scale and story. A group of strong willed characters, not all existentially whiny ones. Epic missions, games such as motorcycle mini game/ snowboard to break up the pace a bit. Gold saucer, a place to chill exploitable chocobo races for rare loot. ******* villain you want to crush, more reasons to crush him. Backstory for the characters, plot twists that add to the drama and saving the world from destruction. The rest I’m sure you should be able to figure out. I’ll be posting this pretty much everywhere, I want the message to spread.

Concerning a Steam release: According to this rumor, yes. http://gs.inside-games.jp/news/394/39479.html Also, the user David managed to find out the following: "I just did some quick searching, and FFVII and FFVIII have game hubs on Steam. You just cannot access them. Also the last update on FFVII's CDR page was 2013-05-15 09:13:50 " MERCHANDISE -TFF Keychains (Zack, Cloud) https://twitter.com/hidemi_mad_dog/status/335557376784625664/photo/1 LUMINOUS ENGINE -3D Dot Game Heroes Developer Provided Tech For Square Enix’s Luminous Engine http://www.siliconera.com/2013/05/17/3d-dot-game-heroes-developer-provided-tech-for-square-enixs-luminous-engine/
