View Poll Results: Final Fantasy XIII or FFVII Remake first?
BT: When you say windows of opportunity do you mean a remake? It’s one thing that fans have been very vocal about wanting…
YK: My feelings are that if a remake were to work well then all the core members of the original team must be reassembled, all the artists and designers.
The problem is that, although all of us have an idea of what a remake should be and how to do it, organising such a thing right now is logistically very difficult. All the different members are now involved in very new, very large projects like Final Fantasy XIII and those projects are going to take a while.
Although it's only losely related to Final Fantasy XIII and I hate remake threads, which would you prefer, Final Fantasy XIII first or Remake?

Would easily and always prefer a new game to a remake.
I suspected this all along, and before I knew anything about FFXIII, I was bitter towards it for getting in the way of a FFVII remake. But then when I actually took the time to put aside my anger and watch the FFXIII trailers, I became excited for those games. I think I'd be happy with either one coming out first, at this point. And I don't harbor any ill feelings towards FFXIII anymore.
I think FFXIII is a remake of FFVII somwhat. It's obvious that SE is trying to repeat the sucess of FFVII, and so the games will be similiar. I'm not too bothered about which one I want first, but I hope that that a remake gets made eventually. (Even if it's for Cloud eye-candy.... hehe). <3

The fact that Tetsuya Nomura is was asked to make a 'female Cloud' and the theme with technology vs nature. Also, there're the push to create something new and exicfiting with new hardware/software available (like they were doing with VII).
I'm not saying it's going to be EXACTLY LIKE VII, but similiar. SE seems to be pushing this to be more sucessful, by marketing this as a HQ version of VII.
Look at the graphics, similiar to the FFVII demo that was shown, and even the character design (although they could have made it look more realistic and anatomic -sp?-) remains as it would have done in the demo and the Advent Children movie. Heck, Versus is being said to replicate the battles of AC.
Different characters.
Different plot.
Different theme.
I don't see the relation.
Really? It just seemed to me that what SE are doing now is what they wanted to do if they'd had the capabilities a decade ago (the train scene in the trailer for example). Oh well.
Still, I answered the topic question. To me they're so similiar/familiar it wouldn't matter which one came out first. I just want something good to play.
Personally i don't care.
And i don't dare relate it to another, it just seems to belittle the game and what it offers when you compare it to another.
And why replay a game just for it's graphical enhancements. I'd rather play the original rather than paying 50 more pounds just because it's been updated in one way or another.
It just seems unnessacery and a waste of time when they could be placing their time into something else.
And from you placing your opinion, i'm placing mine. This is a topic of discussion afterall.
I understand what you mean. Even in an interview a little while ago they stated that they were aiming to recreate the jump from FFVI to FFVII. Personally I wouldn't be annoyed if they decided not to make a remake but it would be a stupid business move. I definitley don't want it to stop them making something new which could possibly be much better.
If this was a japan forum, FFVII would win by a landslide, so many fanboys/girls want this remade it isnt even funny.
If its stopping a new final fantasy game, then at least they are smart enough to make the newer one first then sometime in the future they will release the remake. They know the remake is going to sell no matter how long they take to make it.
As for which i prefer, newer games with hopefully original storylines and characters will always win me over. Its not the best rpg series imo but it will always provide a solid rpg journey.

I'm sick of seeing FFVII where it was totally popular in its release because Cloud's hairstyle was a total blowout at the time ('97).

I played Vagrant Story and enjoyed FF Tactics. That is why I love FFXII.

XIII, no doubt. haz moar i'z And srsly, if I downloaded VII by now (which I have), SE wouldn't give damn. It's from before the fusion and it's 12 years old...so I can play it as I want. I'm currently by the BFG9000-cannon-thingie, can't see the reason for the hype yet...

Well, anyway, that's what i think.
It's similar to FFVII's demo because it's the best CG that they have at this moment. FTW i didn't see that coming.
Of course Fabula Nova Crystallis Project (not FFXIII itself) is kinda slowing down this remake, but imo if they were about to remake FF VII they first of all should call back Hironobu Sakaguchi xP...but in fact they have all their teams working on big titles so we'll have to wait to have this remake...I'd like to see a remake and how it can be done now.

FFXIII Stopping FFVII Remake
