I absolutely love this game, I was about 8 or so when it came out here and it still gives me a serious nostalgia hit whenever I return to it. I've picked up a savegame where I left off around two years ago, and the only really jarring thing about it is how sluggish the battles are. The rest of the game is beautiful though, especially the music - but it does take a little time to adjust to the rhythm of those battles again. I find 8 & 9 to be the only ps1 final fantasy games that I can go back to now, since 7 is sluggish in every aspect, not just the battle system.



At this point pretty much every other final fantasy game has had either a remake or a graphical update, and a high definition overhaul of these classics would be outstanding. I know a lot of people have been clamoring for a ps3 quality remake of 7 since that trailer, but realistically I think an update of the graphics is in order while maintaining the style of the games. Surely the people who really care would be happy with that?
