Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is out this week, and already sparking speculation on what the next Final Fantasy remake could be. We have a few ideas.
Final Fantasy VII 1997 exceeds 15.5 million units sold worldwide as of February 2026, reinforcing its legacy as the series best selling title.
I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.
Modern day publisher be like: "Failed to meet sales expectations. Pivoting to live service."
It's an absolute legend of a game. And I honestly really love how the remake trilogy is shaping up so far.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
But BG2 didn't emerge in a vacuum, and in a recent chat with Slandered Gaming it emerged that—while we can thank BG2 for a lot of our favourite RPGs since—we have a whole other game to thank for BG2. That'd be Final Fantasy 7, which lit a fire under BG2 director James Ohlen to go all out with the game's structure and companions, per Trent Oster—who worked on the original Baldur's Gate and has since become CEO of Beamdog, the studio behind the BG1 and BG2 Enhanced Editions.
Baldurs Gate 1&2 were my games back in the day on PC. Icewindale and Neverwinter Nights as well
I second the call for FFXI, but not completely offline. Give it a max of 18 player online support, since an Alliance is maxed at that number (Party of 6 x 3) Any amount of players beyond that is not necessary. Simulate the auction house and ambient citizen/players.
I miss playing the game. I was hardcore into it back around 2004-06, but I wouldn't pay monthly to revisit it anymore. I may jump into it again with friends/others if it had free smaller scale accessibility. There is a charm to seeing other parties battling it out w mobs out in the wild that I would miss. What I never missed is the gil farmers farming Notorious Monsters.
I'd like to see ff9 or ff6 but just a 1 to 1 remake. Please don't change anything. At most maybe add some more side quests but that's all
FF6, FF9, or FF8.
Honestly, I’d like an FF5 Remake as well. I think that entry is criminally underrated.
How about none? Make something new. If you must go pre PS1 era as all the others still hold up.
I'd like to see a 2D HD remake of 5, and then 6. Even remakes in the style of the 3 and 4 remakes would be welcome, imo.
I also do think they should do an offline 11, like what they're doing with Dragon Quest X. I'd really love to experience that one. On the other hand, there'd be SO much in it that it might be a little bit overwhelming. Turning a long-running MMO into an offline game would mean adding all the various expansions, too, after all. It certainly wouldn't be a normal JRPG experience. It'd potentially be like stitching all three FF7 remake games into one - that'd just be too big a game, and I reckon a lot of people would never finish it.
Question to the FF11 players: roughly how long would a non-condensed offline version of the game be if it included every expansion? (assuming leveling / progression was as quick as typical offline RPGs).
