I can't keep track of all of this, so wait, there is TWO FF7-2 games? LOL. This new one, and a "Before" game, what? Fill me in, somebody, I beg of you!
Advent Children: Movie, takes place after FFVII
Before Crisis: Cellphone game, starring the Turks (including Vincent, I think), takes place before FFVII
Dirge of Cerberus: Game, maybe an RPG but probably more like Devil May Cry or Vagrant Story, takes place one year after Advent Children

I realise after Sakaguchi left. It has been "lets milk the franchise" thing going on.
It's still better than Sakaguchi's "I know what I'm doing, I'm a fucking genius, so piss off if you don't like my ideas" attitude which brought us oh so marvelous ideas as "FF Valentine day" and "FF without any promotion", and let's not forget "FF - I'm writting the scenario of the game while you're playing it so be nice if it doesn't make any sense at all OK kiss kiss".
What Square is doing is basically what Enix should have done in the PS1 days. The roles are reversed : DQ8 has taken the place of FF7, and FF12 is in the place of DQ7. While the DQ franchise has been too quiet for his own good during the loooong years between 6 and 7 (except some Torneko games), which may have played a certain role in the fact the game didn't sold as well as it could have (and the graphic part also, yeah), there, Square, between FF10 and 12, has created many, many little FF thingies so that starved fans don't forget them and while making big bucks out of it. Call them what you want, FFX-2, FF XI and expantions, this FFVII rush, and to an extend even RomaSaga 1 who seems to have been decided when they saw FF12 wouldn't be ready for spring, are here to occupy the field until the new big (but oh so ugly) FF arrives.
I'll stick in the minority that will wait anxiously for RS1, then the remakes of 2 and 3 that will never be done afterwards, and remember with my fellows all the bugs and random stupidity that made RS1 so much more enjoyable than the current FF. Even though we all know the game will be watered down, and lose the freezing bugs, the spawning Grey-s, or the sensible scenes, like the beggar children that asked you for money and commited suicide if you didn't give them. We also want an even worse balance, impossible bosses, and since they take system from various SaGa games, we also want an instruction booklet that give as few instructions as possible so you don't have the slightest idea of what's going on.
The next guy to write beside me wouldn't have taken Galahad's sword.

You misunderstand me. If the game doesn't have what would be considered flaws to any other game, then it won't be a good and enjoyable remake.

I don't see why it would. RS1 was hardly a good game to begin with, and by actual standards, it's actually pretty bad if you take away the "old thing" factor. RS2 and 3, while still having a lot of flaws, have better aged than RS1. Plus RS3 was absolutely gorgeous.
I really, really don't like the idea of going all 3D. While I don't think much of the monsters of RS1, if they plan to remake/include characters from RS2 or 3, on the other hand, I fear for the monsters. Sexy, bare breasted, elegant and gory monsters. Beautiful naked women everywhere. I can't imagine Lockbucke and Wagnas, or Byunei and the sexy real body of Forneus in 3D.
The best thing that could happen is that this game is actually a good remake, it sells well, so they decide to continue with the series, put more money in them, and RS2 and 3 are remade with the 2D mindbogling awesomeness that blessed U:Saga.
Yeah. Yeah, that's the scenario I'll stick to for my wet dreams until march.

The "every character looked like it belonged in some other genre!" thing was one of the silliest things i've ever seen. Hm...Barret has a gun....shooter! I'll give you that the character designs were mostly weak, detatched from their actual personalities for the most part, and didn't have much consistancy, but try not to say something like that again.
Let's see. FFXI expansions has nothing to do with OMGFFLOL, that's a PC game thing, I havent been keeping up too much since it came out in the US, and so far i'm not sure how bad it's been price wise, either way, it's not a square distraction plan, it's just the universal MMORPG plan for whoring.
Now I'm a fairly cynical guy, but I don't see how you guys could all not have an inch of the idea that to some degree they actually just had respect for the project, or the game's world. Er...let me rephrase that, I wouldn't call the contents of FFX-2 respectful, and I can't entirely rationalize either way whether reused locations was fair or not, but that's sorta different than a 7 based game, that's a LET'S STILL ADVENTURE, like I was talking about up there.
If you ask me, the space until FF12 would only create more hype for it, as opposed to clogging us up like they're doing now, so I don't really think that's it. Besides when there was a FF7-2 rumor right next to 10-2, i never really connected the two projects anyway, especially since it keeps slowly branching out and revealing itself like this. Neither of those actual video games are going to not be pretty damn detatched from the "core" product.
To be the one guy being fair, there's just a lot more to say about FF7's world, they already said that themselves, and on the business side obviously so many people already love it to death. I'd almost prefer to love it in my memory, but really none of these projects sounds cheap yet, besides the fact that bc is a wacky cellphone game anyway.

yep, that's why they aren't making a ff7-2, not what these are. which may in a sense be more wimpy, but at least it won't tear things down too much.
Isn't FF7 DC a sequel for you??? even if the game system is different it's still a sequel storyline wise.
Well After wasting my time I've landed on other rumors if most of them are usless 1 really catch my interest.
I bring it here as a subject to discuss on.
the game is (once again) supposed to be a Action-RPG a la Zelda. For those who aren't japanese fluent, in Squenix Regional speech you prononce Zelda: "Kindom hearts", with a little bit of training you'll make it.
So the game is supposed to be a Action-RPG , here I would said a bit more RPG oriented than Zelda, (I mean zelda game never have status, level, high magic and skill system) with a Vincent that will fight in real time like link. (here maybe some vagrant story bit of system) that will need to push some block to solve riddle and such. IMO if it's goodly Action-RPG oriented like, Zelda or the Seiken Desetsu serie, I'm sold.
And IMO to make a A-RPG with FF7 frachise to fight against Nintendo new serious Zelda, that would make Iggy's theory more and more true.

) Better another FFVII game than another FFVIII game, yes, but still... Too many direct sequels! 
my smart candies smell funny.
