Just realized I neglected to reply to a bit of something. LiveandSound wrote:

this FF7 remake coming. If it's the exact same game but with more bosses, better visuals, better cutscenes, more weapons, more Materia... would you buy it? If you would buy that, then why is KH's Final Mix versions coming with extra stuff bullshit, if the same thing is applying here with FF7?

I wouldn't buy the remake if it is the exact same game (unless I lost my copy of the original; I never owned Final Fantasy IV, so I'll likely buy that... someday) with a couple new bosses, new weapons, new materia... but better visuals, better cutscenes..? This implies the game undergoing a complete overhaul, they may be recycling the story and the basic layout, but they've got to re-translate everything from the original into a new format. This is a completely different circumstance from the FMs and X2LM. I'm not looking for superfluous, I'm looking for superb. The KH games weren't remade. They didn't receive an upgrade. It was just added content.
