Two weeks, two MAJOR remakes... which one are you more excited for, Resident Evil 3 or Final Fantasy 7?

I'm actually more looking forward to FFVII, albeit only a little.
I'm a huge, huge Resident Evil fan so I'm very excited to sink my teeth into RE3 but I'm not expecting any real major changes. It'll be an updated and very nice looking version of a game I've already played.
On the contrary FFVII:P1, by the very nature of its existence, has to be much bigger than the Midgar segment of the original FFVII and that just excites me more. Going back to a major part of a game and seeing so much more of it is an opportunity rarely afforded and Square Enix can't half-arse it because this game has to blow our fucking minds otherwise people who aren't already fans of FFVII might not buy the subsequent parts.

I'll absolutely buy and love REmake 3 but FFVIIR looks like it has way higher production values, overall polish and way more respect for its original game feel, tone and art direction.
Really looking forward to both, however because of the timed exclusive bullshit that's still going on I was actually thinking about skipping FF7R, only because I know the PC version will be a much, much better experience for me, it's PC so automatically that's the case, but a year wait is just a little bit too much for me that I'll probably end up getting FF7R anyway for the PS4.
RE3 was always a lock since it's PC and a game I'm really looking forward to.

More hyped for FFVII because I adored the demo, fantastic batlte system.
But it's far more expensive in my region, so I'm only playing RE3 for now. Costs literally 3 times as much as RE3 did.
Not too upset about this, though, as I'm a huge fan of RE, 3 is my favorite classic RE, and I just generally love Capcom.

Not saying it does. This looks bigger and even higher production value to me. Coupled with that regardles of what you think about FFVIIR's somewhat convoluted and eclectic narrative, it is no comparison to RE games. I would take the midgar story over any RE game narratives. I won't deny RE games are iconic and the stories are entertaining cheese.
Never really got into the resident evil series. Played the FF7 demo and adored it and can't wait to get stuck in. Shame it isn't out sooner as I'm working from home in isolation.
Re3. Funny I loved FF7 more back when it first came out. But I find it hard to get excited for an incomplete game. And I have not liked any of the recent ff games so I am not convinced of the changes.
FF7 because it looks very promising. I've already played RE2 (my GOTY 2019) and RE3 looks like more of it, but takes it in a direction that I don't like that much.
I'm more excited for FF7. I don't have the patience for RPG I once had, but at the very least I'm going to check out the remixed music. FF7 has awesome music.
I've never played RE3, but RE1 was more of a comedy game. Horror comedy perhaps. It is the game where the "Jill Sandwich" joke stems from. Maybe RE3 is more serious, but RE1 didn't take itself seriously at all.
Never been into Final Fantasy. RE3 is reimagining of an ok'ish game. Looked great and there were rumors about fully dynamic Nemesis encounters. From what i have seen the latter is questionable and the demo did not sold me. Waiting for impressions.
As much as I really enjoyed RE2 Remake, I didn't really enjoy RE3 all that much on the original Playstation. I'll get RE3 Remake eventually, but I've been playing Final Fantasy since FF1. FF7 was a huge game for me back when I was a kid, and I'm unbelievably excited for FF7 Remake.
I'm nowhere near as excited about either of these as most of you lot are, but I'll still play and enjoy both. Although I enjoyed the RE3 demo quite a bit more than the FFVIIR demo, and I have no nostalgia for either as wasn't much interested in either franchise when the original games released. One thing is for sure, both look stunning in HDR.
RE3 gives me a "been there, done that" feeling. It's too soon after RE2 imo. FF7 feels like what I wanted FFXV to be. That wound is still fresh.
FF7 is the one I have childhood attachment to and the one I played during it's relevance. I didn't play RE3 until just before RE2Make came out
You could say it's story related, but I wouldn't use "complete game" argument in favour of RE3 especially when compared to original game.
When both of the original games came out, I was in my senior highschool day. When the remakes comes out next month, I will be 39, married, and have 3 kids. The kids are waiting for these games. Sure I'm the one who will play it but they will definitely watching my playthrough.
Resident Evil 3, got it pre-ordered, very excited. Enjoyed the demo. Come at me Nemesis you punk
I think RE 1-3 are bad games (well, RE 2 is okay) and have played FF7 nearly a dozen times.
That's why I'm much more excited for the RE 3 remake. Playing the RE 2 remake last year was the first time I actually enjoyed the game and if they can capture that same magic in RE 3 I'm going to have a ton of fun.
FF7 never needed a remake, I'm completely indifferent to it's existence because:
1) I've played the game numerous times already
2) I can always just play that game

FF VII for me and it's not even close. I'm excited for the RE crowd as well, though, and hope RE 3 is everything they want it to be!
The FF7 demo ruled and I replayed it 2 more times before uninstalling it. I uninstalled the RE3 demo after like 15 minutes lmao. So bad.
Either way more excited for the Trials of Mana remake coming a little bit after these 2 games.

RE3 is the only mainline Resident Evil I never played. So I was leaning toward that. But I might just watch Huber and Kyle do a complete play through on Easy Allies.
FF7 demo sold me. So I'm on board for that one. I might play in classic mode for nostalgia sake.

Simply curious, is there anyone excited for FF7 that hasn't played the original? I missed it back in the day and what I'm seeing now isn't doing anything for me.
Brazil. It's a combination of RE3 being exceptionally cheap and FFVII being pretty expensive.
The downside of regional pricing is that there's no standard, prices depend on the publisher and platform. Though if there was a standard, it would likely be RE3 getting more expensive, so I'm ok with it.
