Idea spun off from another thread, but I figured we could quickly lay out our hopes and predictions for the rumored (and pretty much inevitable) re-release of Final Fantasy VII Remake on PS5 and PC (and maybe Xbox).
This may in fact be revealed in a few hours as the digital Japan-only concert will soon premiere, so let's see how many predictions we get right.
What I want:
1. Higher quality textures and 60 fps (I wouldn't be at all surprised if they specifically show the infamous doors for a quick second during the reveal trailer)
2. Improvements to aerial combat (more attacks, enemy tracking, etc)
3. All party members now sit on the bench (yes this is such a minor nitpick but dammit Cloud be a gentleman and make room)
4. More battle banter (breaks my heart Tifa and Aerith don't get any with each other)
5. Not a full-priced upgrade: I would be very surprised if the PS5 version was a free upgrade, as they'll likely use the rumored Tifa DLC and other enhancements as justification to charge you again. So long as it's not a full-price upgrade, I'm fine with that.
6. Speaking of the Tifa DLC, I'll gladly take whatever it has, from new cutscenes to battles to outfits even. But I'm hoping we get more glimpses to her past, including how she originally joined AVALANCHE (which is infuriatingly still the only blank spot in the entire FFVII Timeline)
7. An extra difficulty mode, or a new bonus dungeon.
8. A Secret Movie that teases Part 2. Even an epilogue cutscene would be great.
9. More shortcuts for abilities/spells. They could easily give you a whole extra slot for more awesome combos.
