I'm actually totally on board with an overhaul, as FF7 in its vanilla state was in fact mechanically quite simplistic and would not be appropriate for modern-time gaming. That being said, I also agree that taking it too far is a real danger, as is excessive "streamlining". What little we have seen so far looks promising, but we haven't seen an awful lot. I remain cautiously optimistic but a little scared.
It's great that it (probably) comes to PC right away, though. I would have bought a PS4 just for that game, now I don't have to. And if FFX/X-2 is any indication, the positive reception by PC gamers and the value of Steam as a platform hopefully sends the appropriate signals to the publishers so that it remains a thing in the future. Day 1 mod support to smooth over the edges the game will no doubt have (on any platform) is also going to be great, I hope.
