I would like some acknowledgment of Genesis, Angeal, Deep Ground, etc
I mostly want the opposite of this. I don't want them to try to fit the Compilation stuff into the main story-- it's stuff that seems, to me, very much out of tone.

+1 for making Vincent and Yuffie non-optional and part of the core story

Also,
-Leave the main plot the same, flaws and all. Adding new exposition, backstory, etc., would be fine.
-Aeris still dies
-Make Sephiroth harder. Or, have an optional "limiter off" mode for hardcore players. You should not kill the endboss with one Omnislash.
-Keep the good minigames. Snowboard, Chocobo racing, Mountain Battles, etc.
-Keep Barrett's swearing
-Keep Cid's swearing
-Some new or tweaked combat features, materia changes, etc. The Limit breaks could be made more interesting and less generic

...And the number one ultimate non-negotiable deal breaker for the remake:
-KEEP ALL THE OLD MUSIC. Every last song. Update it and make it better than midi quality, but no original shit. Use the Black Mage's version of the battle themes.

Nice, I'm loving the ideas here guys. It's good to see people talking about the game in a possitive light.

I heard they're going to write Lightning into the story as Cloud's sister. :p

Im down for this so long as Sephiroth kills her instead of Aerith.
Actually, Cloud pushes Aerith out of the way at the last moment, getting impaled on Sephiroth's sword. Cue dramatic music. Aerith cries, Sephiroth says something cold and aloof. Then a portal rips open between time/realities and Lightning jumps through. She repeatedly punches Sephiroth in the face with the pommel of her sword screaming,"See! I'm better than Cloud! Don't you like me? WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE LIKE ME!?!?"

None really. It's not that I don't want a FF7 remake. I do(though I'd rather have one of VI). I just don't really feel like ruining all hope of me enjoying it by setting up expectations years before it even comes out. I guess if I was to hope for something, it would be that they retain some form of the ATB fighting system. Tweak it, improve it, make it more dynamic, or whatever. Just don't scrap it altogether and give us an Action RPG system or something like that.

As a matter of fact, the way I heard it she's straight-up taking the place of Aerith in the story. Sooooo yeah, at least she's going to die, but apparently no Aerith for you.

And dammit, I know this is small but please for the love of Arceus don't show the party members being 'absorbed' by Cloud to indicate that they've joined the party. It was freaky and jarring enough in polygon form, it'd be outright horrifying for full 3d models.
YEAH! The first time I played the game, I figured Barret was supposed to be some sort of shaman or ghost or something, possessing Cloud for complicated shaman/ghost/something reasons.

I really liked VIII's way of handling this, with the extra party members simply following single-file directly behind Squall and copying his every movement.

I'm not actually a FF fan, since almost none of the games were on PC and I just don't play consoles, but my one and only hope for the FF7 remake is that it gets a PC release so I can actually play it. I would love to play JRPGs, they look like something I would really enjoy, and FF is of course the poster series of JRPGs. Would be really nice to get to play it.

Well, it fails as a narrative, but as a study of the author it's up there with Neon Genesis.

Tifa's original FF7 outfit, and figure. *squee*
the option to replace Cloud with Lightning. *Squee*

Getting my mind out of the gutter, uhm... i might just be looking at it through rose tinted glasses but the game seemed pretty good as is.

Totally is. It's funny to see how many people fall ignorant to the huge possibility of revamps to the plot/story. As the old saying goes; be careful of what you wish for.

Maybe Sephiroth can be less of a plank this time around. He's just that guy acting out Jenova's will and isn't so much a character than he is a recurring obstacle.

ACTUAL ROMANCE between Cloud and Tifa. Not that "indication" crap, but real, holding each other in arms, romantic kiss, legit relationship

Yeah, I'm hoping the Golden Saucer Date will be expanded upon. Perhaps there could also be a dance and/or a romantic dinner or something like that, with Aeris/Tifa wearing a fancy cocktail dress. I also hope who you date has a bigger effect on the rest of the game.
