90 sigs right now!
I'm # 2 on the remake one. LoL that ones going places :) ah well.
And there about 210 sigs now. Spread the word!
I already posted at all the forums I visit.
It's already been announced, by Square, that a remake of FF7 is being made for the PS2. I doubt there will be any change/continuation in story, though.
Well this is a good start.
Oh yea and 324 sigs now. Almost at 500. I should email that author and my be say to him laeve it for a month may get more than 500 sigs....
Point #1.
For me, Aeris death on the end of Disc 1 is one of the events that make FF7 very unique. What game else which will kill one of their top characters in the middle of the game? Even very few Hollywood movies do that. Aeris death also give more purpose to the game story. Making Aeris revivable, even it's only an optional non-compulsory sidequest, will make FF7 storyline lost some of it punchline and directions.
Point #2:
I agree on it.
Point #3:
More story is probably good, but multiple endings is hard to be agreeable, because it's impossible to do, unless a massive storyline overhaul is done. A massive storyline overhaul=a new game, at least for me.
Point #4
Agree with this.
Point #5
The list of materia/accessories/weapons/enemies/enemy skills/armours in FF7 original is more than enough to beat the hell out of Sephiroth, or to do anything you want in the game. Why you need more? Making ridiculous points ( sorry really have to stress my points ) only will make the folks at Square pissed off ( if they do read the petition ) and they probably won't do other points that worth doing.
Point #6
Sephiroth being uncontrollable by the player is a sign of his personality ( a man with pride and high ego ). Making him controllable ( it's actually possible if you know how to do it - but only with Gameshark ) by player will reduce his personality to just a normal character, and not the best villain in all FF series, rubbing the shine off FF7 solid story.
Point #7
How long you've played FF7? I've logged more than 2000 hours playing FF7 ( either on PC or PSX ) and I think everyone here knows what happens to all characters mentioned in point #7. For example Reeve ( the first name ). How 's he die? You could actually watch a FMV showing his last seconds on Earth. What happened to others by the time Cloud and Co. go to fight Sephiroth could be explained.
Point #8
More playable characters that were unseen before? It's impossible. If to make playable chracters from existing ones such as Reeve ( like in point #7 ), probably it's possible, but massive overhaul would be needed.
Point #9
All items that we get in FF7 in normal mode as usable IINM. What seemingly useless items?
My main point is not to make impossible or ridiculous request to Square, but just limiting it to the ones that could really give the game a boost, like your point #2 and #4. For example, your point #3 could be changed by asking Square to renovate their stupid ending instead of making new ones.

cHiBiMaRuKo: Good insight. I'll let the other group members know. I'll tell you what we decide.
To answer your questions, I've played FF7 for at least as long as you. Been playing almost non-stop since December of '98.
What cinematic with Reeve? Sure, he is Cait Sith, but that doesn't mean you see *him* in the 8 minute video. Also, keep in mind that for Biggs, Wedge, Jessy, Zack, and Tseng, you never actually see them die. You see them all apparently close to dying. That's it. In most of those cases, it would be easy for a story writer to fit in something that saves them.
As for the useless items, we're referring to the Super Sweeper, Masamune Blade (not the Masamune, which is impossible to get without cheating), Fight Diary, Autograph, Gambler.
This also would have included Tissues and 1/35 Soldiers, but apparently the Tissues control the difficulty in the Battle Arena, and the 1/35 Soldiers can be kept at the house you can buy in Costa Del Sol. I haven't tested the thing about them making the Ft. Condor battles not cost anything yet.

Oh man, my 100th post!

Congrats on your newfound Crazyness!
On the FF7 Petition: That guy went WAY too far. All 7 needs is more Cinematics, enhanced in-game graphics, and a fully orchastrated soundtrack using MP3 or some variation of pre-recorded music.
On the FF9 PC Petition: Hell yeah! FF9 on PC! With mine, we're at 2037!
The sad part is, I just checked Squaresoft.com (Which hasn't been updated since 12/18/00 BTW) and in the FAQ it says, and I quote "Square of Japan has not made any current plans to develop a PC port of Final Fantasy IX." Don't that just suck. Any FF9PC petition has to be sent to Square of Japan! :x

...so...
I bought the PSX version. It runs awesome in ePSXe and I don't even have a 3D card, I have to use software rendering. In fact I get better speeds in ePSXe than I did with computer versions of FF7 or FF8 in software rendering.
Oh well. If they release a PC version now I doubt I'll get it.
