But who would be the villan? Assuming Sephiroth is gone...and I REALLY hope Aeris wouldn't be brought back either. *Is a long time Aeris hater*
It should be interesting to see how the story goes if the rumor is true... | Excalibur05

I'm not AS excited for this one as I am for X-2, but I'd be really interested to see where they go with the story. Considering how it ended and everything...
But, what I'm REALLY interested in is to see what graphic/gameplay overhaul they might give it. That'd be fun... | LeechOfTheNight

Reposted on: 11.11.09 1455.32 | I'm up there with the FFVI sequel, but I agree that this has potential to reek of awesomness. Square hasn't let us down with a crappy Final Fantasy yet. I think a prequel tp FFVII would be an excellent idea as well.
On a side note:
It's fairly safe to assume that if this sequel is made, it will not feature Cloud in hot pants with a pair of pistols.

In FFX-2, Yuna has ditched her Priestly attire for a pair of hot pants and pistols ala Lara Croft. Well, maybe it has a more western flair...don't have a pic at the moment.
Anways, I gots mixed reactions to this. One one side, FFVII is one of my favorite FF "worlds." But even though the story has kind of an ambigious ending, it gets the point across that everything ended happily after ever. Not to mention topping Sephiroth would be a challange all it's own. Personally I'd be happy with a remake with better graphics.
I second Final Fantasy 3-2 though, for some reason I think it would come off better.
EDIT: Wait! Just figured out how FFVII-2 could be totally awsome. Base it entirely on the TURKS! That would rule!

Word. I have always thought it would rule to find out what Kane does after removing the helmet and staring off the mountain...you just know he was going on some major cool exploits.
This is a good idea. Instead of making more and more FF games with unique characters, give us awesome sequels with the continuing lives of those we are familiar with.

Redemption against HHH for Katie?
Honestly though, I've been meaning to pick this one up and play it, along with VI. Right now, I'm about 2/3 of the way through V, which I think is fairly cool. They're both on my to do list along with beating FFX again, finally finishing Gauntlet Dark Legacy, playing more of GTA:VC, beating NCAA '03 with the lamest team I can, playing through another season with Madden, and finally finishing Onimusha and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X. But FF IV, V, and VI are all on my computer which gives them the advantage, as I'm on my computer most of the time anyway. That To Do list is going to be alot less structured in two days when I pick up Smackdown and everything else drops off the list for a while. | MollyFan2K2

I subscribe to the theory that everyone survived the end of FFVII, and I'm glad that there isn't much debate about that here unlike other boards.
Hmm, the villain question, I'm not sure about that either... I think I'll replay FFVII the next chance I get and start looking for loose ends.
Things I would like to see: areas from FFVII with some subtle changes to show the passage of time or the effects of Meteor/Holy/Lifestream, perhaps a similar world map (likely with ruins where Midgar used to be), as many references and nods to FFVII as possible, a couple new playable characters (maybe to replace one or two characters from the old game), but most of the original cast should be left intact (but maybe scattered around the planet for the player to find; for instance, Yuffie may have returned to Wutai, Barret to Corel, Tifa and Cloud to wherever, etc), maybe take into account the passage of time and have a couple characters shown as good friends from the last game (Red XII and Vincent always seemed similar but never interacted much), all of them should look a little different (new clothes or haircuts or whatever), at least one Limit Break from the old game per character for nostalgia, maybe make Reeves playable instead of Cait Sith, and the Turks MUST be in somewhere, MUST!
Things I don't want to see: Aeris (keep her limited to flashbacks at the most), radically changed gameplay styles (such as how Square turned Parasite Eve 2 into a crappy Resident Evil clone; don't fix what ain't broke). That's really about it, I think. | Scott Summets

FF IV is dying for a sequel, all the stuff you learned at the end, plus there was no limits or anything, so you can still theoretically fight the same types of enemies, since you aren't gods. I will always have a soft spot for FF IV, I got it for Xmas with Super Mario World, ActRaiser, and a SNES, that Xmas break, all my friends and I did when it was to cold around was to play FF IV with our jaws down. Even being 8 I knew it was the shit. | vsp
