Petition to Remake Final Fantasy VII Sent to Square-Enix
By Jonathan on Saturday, September 8th, 2007 at 4:16 PM PST In Gamer Life, Games, Square Enix
We over at Gaming Today have been slowly watching the rising number of signatures on this online petition to produce a re-make of Final Fantasy VII. The author of the petition has informed us that the petition has crossed the 20,000 signature mark, so he notified Square-Enix. Here’s their response (brace yourselves):
Thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX Customer Support,
We hope this letter answers your questions.
Our parent company, SQUARE ENIX of Japan, has no current plans to create a sequel or remake to that particular title at this time. This is not to say that it will never happen, it’s just that their development teams are currently focusing on numerous other projects.
We hope this information has been of assistance.
Thanks,
Neil- SQUARE ENIX Customer Support

I know: dang. On the plus side, it’s starting to look like they’re getting the message. They probably just seriously do have way too many projects on their table — including about five Final Fantasy games, not to mention another Kingdom Hearts title — to even consider taking on another one right now. Maybe wait until Final Fantasy XIII is out the door and then start hassling them again.
WE NEED FFVII REMADE IT IS THE BEST GAME EVER
What? No love for FFVI? (FFIV in the U.S.)
I really liked FFVII, but come on, FFVI had the better characters and story. If anything FFVI deserves a remake. FFVII already got a movie. Meh.
No! Do not remake it! FFVII is a classic! Why would you want to go and ruin a classic! They already ruined FFIII by remaking it for GB!
Please, FFVII is a classic game!
It’s not graphics that make up a game, it’s the storyline, like the old Sonic and Zelda games.
Please, if they remake FFVII it’s just another game ruined by Square Enix.
In the time that it would take Enix to remake FFVII, they could use that time to think of a new game, and make that.
Leave FFVII the way it is.
True gamers would know this.
Classic. Remake = bad.
Well its OK if they make a remake because it’ll please US XD ahha. If you don’t like the remake, you can always play the classic one, just like what they’ve done w/ FFIV or FFVI, they remade these but you can always play the classics (if u still own them XD aha I have them on the old super nintendo =]). Anyway, Square please remake FFVII!!! I love you Square ESP your FF Series, I WOULD BE SOO HAPPY I would DEFinately be inline on the waiting list to buy a remake of FFVII T-T. Aeris I love you! Cloud and many more you’re all my favorite characters! XD
No.
This is stupid, the original FF7 wasn’t that good. The story is your typical cliche RPG. It follows the same routine as in FF1-FF12. It is as generic as it can be. It only appeals to the omgwtfbbq kids.
lol thats the standart anwser for final fantasy/FF VII/7 remake and has been posted on numerous boards .. get a life newsposter and a hang to reality, they never red ur email, it was going RIGHT to the spambox lol

For those who think that FFVII was your typical RPG, you are seriously in denial! FFVII had THE BEST Story line, so far anyways. The story is deep, with interesting and unforgetful characters. For those who still don’t understand it completely, go to this site. The person who wrote this FAQ is brilliant.

@Hayato: Read the article again. Jonathan said the author of the petition contacted Square-Enix himself. The author then sent us a tip to notify us of what their response was. In no way did the “newsposter” Jonathan contact Square-Enix himself.
On a side note, I recommend you switch over to FireFox. It can catch a lot of your grammatical errors.
@ Daneil: Ouch, burn.
As for this, y’know, it doesn’t surprise and/or bother me. FF7 was a good game, but for me, not worthy of a re-make. So what, they’d give it some higher resolutions here and there so it’d look amazing and maybe fix a few glitches or bugs that were in the original, but the fact remains, adding anything new to it would ruin it. In addition, I prefer my Cloud silent, not with some tacky American voice-over who thinks they’re up themselves (I thought that of most of the characters of X with the exceptions of Auron and Kimahri; a shame one of them is dead and the other shares his thoughts once in every 10 cut-scenes).
Leave the game and appreciate it as is, which is one of the best RPG’s and all-time game out there.
I’m very glad they decided not to remake FF7 because they will be able to make newer games. Who cares if you remake a great game? Graphics don’t make a good game, graphics just make bad games fun, Plus FF7 isn’t worth replay it’s a way overhyped game sure it is one of the greatest games made, but can’t we give it a rest? if there is any FF game that deserves replay, not remakes but actually just sitting down and beating the game multiple times, it is FFVI.
Well speaking of remakes there is one game that does deserve a remake, Ocarina of Time, Only instead of just remaking the game with good graphics redo dungeons and puzzles and expand content, keep all the music only orchestrate it. that would be amazing.
Final Fantasy 7 is overdue for a remake, or at least a new game with new clips or something. Kinda like number 6 on the psone. For number six to be redone it took like, 4 years. Its been over double that for number 7…so yeah…anyone who says its not time needs a wake up call.
But square is overworked…they are trying to get thier massive ds and wii library done…and what little else they are making for the ps3 and wii(we all know square is working for nintendo than sony these days)
If history repeats ports come before total remakes. I would expect ports to psp and nintendo wii before a remake..its only logicall.
the most overrated game series of all time
No, FF fans are the second most overzealous fans of all time.
If they replaced Cloud with Thor and Sephiroth with Loki, the game would freaking rock. on the main point, why don’t you tard-mongrels go buy the old PS1 copy and play it on your PS2? i love most of the FF games, but they don’t need to remake FF7. porting to a Gameboy/PSP/DS would be cool but na we don’t need no stinking remake.
Yeah, FFVII is the best game ever, so why mess it up with a remake?
FFVII was one of the most overrated rpgs ever made. It doesn’t deserve a remake. There are tons of other games that deserve one much more than this one. Cloud and Seph are generic characters and the gameplay isnt that good. Story was run of the mill as well.
stfu halo-tard.
I have a friend in the gaming industry, I’m not at liberty to say who. He’s told me that you can’t expect a remake of “Final Fantasy VII” until at least 2010. There are several other big projects Square Enix need to get out of the way first. I hope he’s right.
Yeah Ash “what little else the are making for the PS3″ only the flagship title ff13 and ff13 vrs, nice fanboi rant.
You guys are retarded.
FFVII should be remade. Cut this “classic” crap.
Get over your nostalgic self.
@Black Mage
How are they ruining a classic? They’ll only be ruining it if you choose to buy it. If you don’t buy it, you’ll have nothing to worry about, let the rest of us(the majority of people) enjoy it!
FFVII? Who cares -.- Let it sit in it’s overrated gayness. Squeeenix games are lacking in my opinion nowadays. FFVII truely..wasn’t ubertastic or anything. I say leave it alone, and try to come out with another decent game that snag the peoples attention…Like another Einhander…You can go wrong with that. I swear if you just..throw a Sephiroth clone in FFwhatever that comes out people will be like omg uber I wanna play remakeremake greatest game ever!
LOL, why would they remake any Final Fantasy below FFVII, they remake them on DS every year! Get over it. No one likes FF I-VI, Final Fantasy didn’t sell till Final Fantasy VII. FFVII has what the other titles don’t have: dark story, variety in side quests: bike racing, skateboarding, adult language/humor, funny situations (falling in toilet etc), dramatic story and characters that you care about. FF I-VI didn’t have main characters, sorry to say it, no one stands out except the bosses.
I think they should remake it sometime in the future. Not anytime soon though. They should make one for a new generation, those who weren’t around when FFVII came out. They defenitley should not start doing it now though. Right now i’m really looking foward to Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Kingdom Hearts 3 (was never actually a fan of Final Fantasy, mainly because they were RPGs, but i love Action RPGs, hence Kingdome Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XIII). That gives me an idea. What if they remake Final Fantasy VII into an Action RPG. I love action!!!!!!! But if not then i’ll enjoy Kingdom Hearts 3 and Versus XIII.
made a mistake in my parenthesis it should be Final Fantasy Versus XIII!!!!
i will not buy the ps3 if they not doing it yes i love sony but they must do something if they care for us they must do something for this
CHUMP
Regardless of how much fanboys are going to say about FFVII, one thing remains… all these fanboys have never played any other game in the series. Saying FFVII is “Teh best game evar!!1!” is like saying that Grand Theft Auto is the best example of family friendly entertainment. It boils down to a generational thing. The new breed that only got started with VII are going to say that it is the best. A real fan that encompasses ALL the games in the series will tell you it breaks down like this: Final Fantasy Tactics had the best story, FFVI had the best villain, and FFIX lives in my heart as the best for the greatest hero, Vivi.
What Squeenix needs to do is focus on their ORIGINAL IP’s. Remakes just show that they want to make a quick buck.
There, my two cents.
P.S. The Chrono series needs another game more than final fantasy.
Plz make a remake, the FF7 Is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So to my me gustarìa that were doing a great remake of this grandisimo I play, first because it was the first end final fantasy that jugue and I like me his her,your history, the history of every personage who is sad and happiness and me I fill very much this game.
Also for it of the matters that I like very much the great map, and well a remake me haria happily to see the graphs as the movie and to listen to his voices and to live through it mas royal really, and I hope that they do it because it he,she costs is worth very much a great Final Fantasy VII for my best of all the previous and later posterior histories that they like but as that of the FFVII none.
please, remake de FFVII, great videogame
La verdad es que un remake de FFVII con graficos de ps3 sería una buena noticia y se vendería mucho.
Un saludo!!!!
suplicamos que hagan el remake del mejor juego de la historia
Venga, pero que os cuesta……
Ba, si de todas formas lo van a hacer, van a vender como churros.
Best Final Fantasy Please re-make if you are one of the people that say don’t make a remake. If it comes out then don’t buy it. Don’t kill everyones spirit by saying no
i just want VII on the PSN to download for PSP. a remake should have been on store shelves before the end of the year to be a ten year annniversary thing. its kinda late now
Final Fantasy 7 ruined the industry. Here’s how

thank you sonydefense.com please every one look in this web site it hear from us
If they not re-make FFVII for PS3(what is the best game what square enix has done), i’m wondering how cool it was, that they make a continue game of FFVII! What do you think of it?
redxlled: i will not buy the ps3 if they not doing it yes i love sony but they must do something if they care for us they must do something for this
I’m same way that you are!
FFVII 4 Ever!
What i think is that you guys should make a new final fantasy 7. I think this because final fantasy 7 has the best characters and the best story line of all them.i say this because i owned all final fantasy and played them all. so i think you guys should make it for ps2 or ps3.

I’d love to see an FF7 remake, but I have my doubts of it being announced at the TGS. Square only has one more gem that people have failed to notice..Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross. The only thing that would appease me if they didn’t announce an FF7 remake would be a new Chrono Trigger game. I could see a ton of people jumping on board if they came out with that, but I still think FF7 would easily destroy the Halo market. My biggest fear is S-E’s threat to SCEA about their flip-flop marketing. All the haters in the room can whine and cry all they want, because when FF7 comes, you’ll shut up and play it like everyone else. You might love it, you might hate it, but you’ll play it.
My opinion is that a remake of a magnificent rpg game such as Final Fantasy 7 would be a very exellent idea indeed, Final Fantasy 7 maybe has been overrated a bit but that doesent prevent millions of fans that absolutly love this game to turn their backs on such a exciting, pulse pounding and mind blowing project, so i think i have a vision of the future if S-E make it: fans all over the world will crowd the nearest gameshop that has the game, just like people crowded the nearest bookshop for deathly hallows, millions of fans with happy eager smiles will go to any legnths to get the remake and plus the company will earn so much money that theyre families will never go hungry again. if they refuse: the millions of fans that were so eager to know whats happening will be upset and perhaps a little angry that such a remake was scrunched up and thrown in the trash or perhaps fireplace, also e-mails and messages may pop up quite alot about the re-make of final fantasy 7 not being released and lastly the money that was infront of you has turned into ash.
Just one more thing: make sure that the plot, story ect isnt changed if you remake it, it will probably end bad, graphical enhancements and improved music are ideal, new spells, abilities etc could be a good idea too but thats your desision to make.
this is my opinion and no one elses,
thank you
The angel of suggestion
Actually, Dirge of Cerberus WAS a sequel to FF7. So to anyone saying they wish a sequel were made, probably has no idea that DoC was infact, a sequel.
However. The likelyhood of an actual original-game remake being done, is possible, but I honestly can’t see it happening untill atleast 2010. And that’s just it simply being ANNOUNCED.
FF13 and it’s 2 side-games will be released late 2008, to early 2009. I hope that says something about the likelyhood of a FF7 remake, in the near future. Hell, they might announce it in 2010. But don’t get your hopes up.
They’re jerking us around, because they know we want it. And due to that, they’re denying the hell out of it. They’ve hinted that it’s possible, but have yet to say “yeah, we plan on doing it. We’re not doing it now, but we DO plan on doing it.”
Rather they’re trying to suprize us after smashing our sunshines, or they seriously do not plan to remake the game. Weigh out your options, and realize that you have a 50/50 chance of getting that remake.
Only time will tell.
However, I still think that the developers need to stop jerking us around. They’re having entirely too much fun with it. They know we want this remake, so they’re going to do everything in their power to open us up to “it’s possible” without saying anything definite at all. Ever.
yes they are doing it and by that they are losing more and more of there fans maybe they don’t need any fans any more
iam with you Mr.SkeithXth you are 100% right
I love that they make Fantasy VII a remake of End, because for my, it was a great game the best history of any another end fantasy, Final Fantasy VII it was for my better thing because it was, happiness, sadnesses, serious moments … tape-worm quite his prominent figures the design since they are his histories, the matters that it was the better thing that they put!
Please Final Fantasy VII Remake for PS3
