lol, Don't you know how many pervs are here? *cough* kirby *cough*
I'm not sure about this, too much FF VII might kill the magic of the seires.
What magic? Since FF7 I've only felt that "magic" and enjoyed one of the 4 FF games... and that was FF9, which plenty of people despise. I thoroughly hated FF8, and while FFX and X-2 both were good games, I didn't think they were great. There were enough things that annoyed me about them that they didn't really have that indefinable charm or "magic" that separates good or very good games from GREAT games.

1st stage: I hated it...was mad.. dispised everything I knew was the genre rpg.
2nd stage: scared, I was afraid this would ruin some of my more favorite memories of rpgs..
3rd stage: More hatred
4th stage: Sadness, that square is a jerk and they stole my favorite toy
5th stage: Forgiveness and tired, i've become tired of fighting it. I might as well just shut up and enjoy it. It's the only choice i got...
I feel basically the same way, except not exactly on the 5th stage. I'll try to shut up, but I won't necessarily enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, I'll be happy if Advent Children or this game turn out to be cool, but unlike alot of fanboys I'm not looking forward to it, I'm dreading it, cause I thought FF7 was great as is, and I actually LIKE open endings.
Another thing, I'm at the point where I've played so many console RPG's, that I'm not really so eager about playing them anymore. People talk about the stagnation of gameplay in lots of genres, in particular in PC gaming, but THE most stagnant genre is the FF-style console RPG... yet no one seems to mind, in fact, alot of the fans simply can't get enough! Seriously, except for the obvious graphic/sound/FMV changes, and some minor tweaks in battle engine from game to game, there hasn't been much change in the last 20 years. To many it would be blasphemy, but I don't care if they take an FF character and put them in a non-RPG game... at least if they do it WELL. If they make this game into a Devil May Cry type game, but do it really well, then I'll love it... a good game is a good game.
