I only agree with points number 2 and 4 ( and also the point of releasing the remake on PC ). Others are completely outrageous or will ruin the game or just plain impossible.
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.
