Final Fantasy VII - REMAKE-
10 years ago
I was going to write something after the reveal, but it was 5am. Still I felt somewhat obligated to say something considering my standing in the furry fandom with my site and all.
But wow - yeah; I honestly didn't see that coming. I dont know what this says about Square-Enix at large considering they said they would only do this to save themselves financially, but that's another story.~
Naturally this means that we will be getting an HD Nanaki and a whole new generation of Final Fantasy furries will be joining the fandom. On one hand I'am glad; Nanaki artwork has been slowly on the decline - especially in Japan. So I hope this will re-invigorate his following. On the other hand I dont know if I will be able to put up with the influx of normies or even still run the site when the game comes out. I guess we will have to see.
That being said; Im still very excited for this and I hope it's the remake we all deserve.
FA+

That said, I am cautiously optimistic about the remake. On one hand, I want to wait for more information, on the other I'm always worried they'll needlessly cut or change things because they no longer mesh with the more realistic visual style, or hack away things that were "too gamey", humorous, or "hardcore".
If they're smart, this will just be a graphical upgrade with orchestrated music and with the bugs that were in the original removed.
Also, if it's voiced, they had better re-translate the original script because Aiko Ito and Michael Baskett's English localization was pretty terrible.
...Seriously, they better not cut that segment.
