Why people want a FF7 Remake

[Xanatos]

Wait a minute... there are people who actually appreciate story of Final Fantasy VII? Weird. As for calling it one of the best video game stories of all time, seriously? A story that suffocates in it's own complexity, story full of plot holes, when fans themselves go as far as to explain certain events because it doesn't make sense in the first place, and all Square can do is provide us with laughable explanations to justify actions of certain characters, release guides and books to tie things down and even then we're left with dozen's of questions. Not to mention how many elements are already used and obviously copied from previous games. It's not even funny how many fans of Final Fantasy VII can't get their shit straight, and that's apparently one of the best video game stories of all time, if so than Bioware, and Team ICO must be pulling Oscars for their storytelling.

Regarding the remake, I for one would love to see a remake, but for completely different reasons. First of all, all those fanboys/girls would finally shut the **** up, secondly, as much as fans don't like to admit it Final Fantasy VII is highly flawed game, both story and gameplay wise, and I would like to see it fixed.

I don't know about this.. At first I was going to rage pretty bad but I do see your points. I played this when it first came out back in 97. I was rather young, around 5, but fell pretty hard for it. I guess I had the rather creative mind of a child when I played it first so I didn't see the holes, I just was just in awe of a game that had a story that was so captivating and was able to make me actually feel like I was with cloud and nanaki and rest of the crew. I had never had a game that could make me hate a charater as much as I hated Sephiroth when he murdered Aerith. I don't know man, maybe it was because I fell in love with it so long ago, but the story has captivated me for over a decade and a remake would almost be a shame if not made exceptional. That's the equivalent of Aerosmith trying to find someone to replace Tyler. No one would want to touch that position in fear of being the guy who ruined Aerosmith. Anyway, if some incredibly talented people put every ounce of effort possible, a remake could be amazing. But the more likely scenario is that it would be contoured into something like ff13. The greatest final fantasy movie so far. Thoughts?
