Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy VII will be remade for (exclusive first) PS4 in honor of the game's 20th Anniversary.

I was among those that predicted SE would break down and succumb to fan outcry despite initially claiming they would not remake VII (and then later restated that claim as "not until we've made a truly awesome game that is not VII" and then restated again as "not unless our company starts headin' down the crapper"; I'm paraphrasing, of course, I don't really remember what they actually said).

Hopes and fears about its development (not just mine) include such things as: The graphics in HD should be epic The game will likely change the battle mechanics Hopefully, Cloud will no longer be permanently locked into the battle party The compilation will likely be blended into the game, either directly or by mere allusion GILGAMESH Iconic lines like "this guy are sick" and scenes like the men's hottub will likely be removed for a more concise and "pc" version The comedic secondary nature will be gone New WEAPONs or the international version WEAPONs will probably be gone Alternate costumes??? Tetsuya Nomura means Kingdom Hearts 3rd-Person camerastyle (rather than locked angle) The remake will be an action-RPG Voice-acting makes much of the dialogue difficult to transfer Altered or missing minigames Barret as a bear wearing a marshmallow Cloud wearing a bikini Knights of the Round... in HD

Let me be clear. Personally, I don't care what details they subtract or add to the remake. I just want to see the main story in HDCG.
