Yeah... I really liked the different parts of the storyline and how they meshed. However, I will say one thing: The cutscene fight parts NEED to be skippable in a remake. Just look at Sephiroth's two minute long attack. :P

Really, Wii Fit for me falls apart when I just go to the local Athletic Club or Gym instead to work out. Much easier, doesn't cost as much, and I actually get to exercise more. To those of you who care about Wii Fit (Which I don't), this still is pretty much paying too much for too little.

For Horror games, I agree this could be pretty awesome. I might actually play a good old fashioned Horor game with this type of stuff. "Keep your heart rate below X, because if you don't, they will smell your fear..." Unfortunately, if it's not released with the console itself, I don't think there will be much support among third parties.

Jesus, the portable that we all know Japan loves the hell out of is winning? And the American based Xbox 360 is dead last? Sound the alarm!

...

In reality, these sales go exactly as I imagined; Portables are ahead of consoles, Wii is first in consoles (It's Nintendo, and therefore prints money), Ps3 is second (It's still Japanese based), and the PS2, still being based around non-shootery games, manages to eke out ahead of the poor Xbox 360.

Microsoft, why must Japan hate you so? Well, probably for the same reason everyone else hates you, but why do they hate your console so much?

Final Fantasy VII is just one game of a large series that includes other games as good as it (Or in some people's opinions, better than it). Mario actually is its own franchise, so he's not exactly stealing anyone's limelight. Sonic is univerally considered to be run into the ground, but that's mainly due to the crappy 3D entries. Both of those franchises, however, don't even try to be serious, while Final Fantasy VII keeps taking itself seriously with each iteration nowadays. Street Fighter is its own series, one that I'm not particularly familiar with.

I don't want a remake, I don't want a spinoff, I don't want any sort of ridiculous new game portraying Sephiroth's third cousin twice removed, I just want the cash train to stop. A remake IS preferable to spinoffs, but I'd prefer neither over a game that just has nothing to do with FFVII. What about other Final Fantasies? What about Chrono? What about a completely new series? Hell, what about Kingdom Hearts, as much as I dislike the later games in that series?

Unfortunately, we're just going to keep getting more and more and more FFVII, because some people like looking at the same old world for four games and a movie straight.:(

Eh, I'm probably a hypocrite for gushing over Metroid: Other M. ;)

...

It's a decade old. It simply brought Final Fantasy into the realm of 3D. It's no Ocarina of Time or Super Marios or Wolfenstein in terms of being revolutionary; it's just a fairly well crafted game that happened to come out at the right time and had some pretty cutscenes. It had some problems, too, however, such as materia making character separation insignificant, long battles, EXTREMELY LONG ATTACKS AND SUMMONING SEQUENCES (I'm looking at you, Supernova), and some rather grotesque character models for the time. Oh, and let's not even talk about the english translation, which was still poor, and Sephiroth giving people pears...

I liked FFVII. I don't think I'll consider it even close to the best RPG I've ever played, but it was pretty damn good. However, after Squeenix's constant merchandizing, spinoffs, and squealing about an RPG that is ten years old and shows it, I hardly feel any sort of liking for the game. There are so many other Final Fantasies, never mind other RPGs and game series, and yet this one is the only one anybody cares about. I played Kingdom Hearts, which had some FF characters; the characters from VII were Yuffie, Cid, Cloud, Aerith, and Sephy. Other than Yuffie and Cid, all of those are the characters fanboys/girls squee over. For other games? We got Squall, and kiddified versions of Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie. So, ignoring the obvious promotion for FF10, we got two characters from the 8th game and five from FFVII (Moogles don't really change enough between games for me to include them in a specific one). None from games older than VII (Including the quite popular 4/6), none from Final Fantasy 9.

Final Fantasy VII? Got a movie that, to be quite honest, was awful. Got a horrible spinoff around a minor character who know one in their right minds thought would be interesting. Got another spinoff, then another (Luckily, neither was as bad as the first spinoff). That's not even including how many games are built around the FFVII characters that are not canon, like Chocobo racing.

I'm just sick of it. Make it stop. I'm sick of the fangirls who think Sephiroth is somehow the best villain in all of fiction, I'm sick of the press, and I'm sick of the Goddamn spinoffs for a game I like that, honestly, had no need for any of that.

So I appreciate that so much effort went into Final Fantasy VII, but I honestly think that we can all SHUT UP about it for once in our lives.
