When did taste become something negative?
No one here is being elitist. In fact, if being a childish teen is the contrary of being the "elite", then the "elite" makes up for most of the population. We are in a video game forum, but let's not forget that the world is a little larger than that.

If the only ambition you have for video games is "flashy action games", then let's skip FF VII game and all embrace Candy Crush Saga.
However, if you believe that the narrative aspect of games - as the gameplay aspect has never been neglected - can go beyond the wants of the average teenager and reach a population that is all but an "elite", then you might agree that no game is beyond critique.

Well young'un, let me tell you about growing up in the 90's.

See, we kids were all techy and smart, but our parents, no sir, they didn't know all these fancy com-pooter things. They heard all about them on those big CRTVs of theirs, but owning one? That was for them fancy folks. The internet? God help you son if you on that thing when daddy wanted to make a call. Cell phones? You're damn right I'll put you in a cell if you're runnin' up that phone bill.

But sure enough, even parents gave in to the fancy machinery of the future, and if you were a kid with a big powerful 386, then those were exciting times.

But those big boxes cost as much as a used car, and dang-nabbit, they were going to last as long as that. 486? 586? These numbers are moving too fast, why upgrade when the old one was just as good for pushing buttons.

Now, along comes 1998, and it was a glorious year. You see, them PC games were getting fancy now, with millions of colours and big, beautiful, blocky 3D. And as a kid, it was your God given duty to have a computer that could play all these big games like Final Fantasy 7.

So you cinched in your belt, tied your shoes on real tight, and asked your parents for a real computer, like a Pentium II. And when they asked you why, you bit your tongue and told the biggest lie of your life: "It's for homework."

And that, youngster, is how you played Final Fantasy 7 on PC.

Pretty much guaranteed there will be a new battle system seeing how graphics etc have made leaps and bounds since the first release on PS1.

I have no idea why people think they should change one single fucking thing. Same battle system, same camera angles in each zone, same everything. Update the graphics/sound and call it a day. That's what a remake is. If you change core elements of the game, its no longer a true remake.

I think they should keep same battle mechanics, including the shattering glass/swirl into battle. As for ATB and fights itself, they can make it look like a fight scene from advant children with different angles and such, mutiple angles even for same move so it doesn't get stale. I think they kinda achieved that with 12 or something with seemless transition between character actions. Add that and movie like camera angles, fancy graphics and every fight can look like a movie
