Final Fantasy VII Remake?

[lightspeed15]

So, it appears that SquareEnix is creating a remake for the game: http://finalfantasyviipc.com/en

Their description does not say anything about enhanced graphics....BUT....

In the system requirements at the bottom of the page, it says you need to have (the minimum of):

Minimum System Requirements:
Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 (32/64-bit) ? 2GHz Processor or faster ? 1GB RAM ?
DirectX 9-compatible graphic card

That's all good and cool and whatnot, but don't you think it's very demanding? I mean, consider the game's system requirements for the original PC version:

System: Pentium-133 or equivalent
RAM:32 MB RAM
CD-ROM: 4X CD-ROM
Video Memory: 2 MB VRAM
Hard Drive Space: 260 MB
Mouse: Yes
Sound Board: Yes
DirectX: DirectX v5.1

Back then it needed 2 MB of ram. MEGABYTES!!!! The "rumored" version need 1 GB of ram. GIGABYTE!!! There's 1000 MB in one GB! FTW!

Then the processor, of course, that's also very suggesting...

But what about the sudden upgrade from DirectX v5.1 to DirectX9?? What the hell!

I don't know about you guys, but this screams some sort of enhanced graphics.

Share your thoughts! :)

Thats a little strange. I never knew there was a directx 5.1 i guess there just updating the graphics so the games dont become outdated, because honestly all games should have at least dx 9 by now.

I'm guessing they are going to completely rewrite the graphics engine, since directx 9-11 uses all kinds of pixel shaders, shadowing, high level AA, etc. Those requirements are based on using shaders so I'm guessing we are looking at a 4gb plus game after install. If they do it right it will be awesome... But why now??

[lightspeed15]

I'm betting because they want to some how get on the right track and boost sales. Something like that at least!
