I know exactly what you mean.
The memories I have from FF7 will follow me to the grave. I loved this game so much.
And it would be so easy for Square to destroy it.
The last thing I want is Final Fantasy 7 with FFX style and actors.
Steam re-released FF7 a while back, and it sucked. High res blocky models in low res 2d backgrounds.
I'm hoping that they will keep the play style and the story, but upgrade the graphics to 2015 standard. So basically the same game, but cranked up graphics.
The last FF game I liked was FFIX. But it didn't reach the level of FF7. It simply is one of the best games ever made.
It's number two on my personal list...
