SE to "explore the possibility" of FF 7 Remake

I'd also be a fan if they added things, More Zack backstory, more indepth backstory for Cid.

There's so much stuff from the later Compilation of Final Fantasy VII games that they will need to find decent methods to hint and integrate carefully into the original story in order for everything to try and stay consistent.

Project G and the Genesis character is one such obvious example as they were introduced with Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core. The original FFVII game was only about the Jenova Project and Sephiroth.

It's things like this that I can understand another reason why a FFVII remake can be extremely difficult due the amount of story content that that needs to stay intact, added or changed to fit in with the new stuff and other characters from recent spin-off games.

Prequels, sequals and side-stories can create so much trouble when a lot of new stuff gets added in to add or change to the main canon of the original story. Look at Star Wars as another example.

If they remake it EVERYTHING needs to be the same, apart from adding voices etc.

These days when they say they are remaking a game they do change it so much its not even a remake.

Or the opposite happens and they don't do anything but upscale the resolution
