I don't know how anyone can be supporting this?
What kind of things can they add anyhow? More combat? the combat was never much fun to begin with.
More story? Well, there is a huge risk they would ruin the original story.. don't know what they could add in terms of story.
More exploration / treasure ? Well, this is not the kind of game that would benefit from that either.
Now if they are making some kind of reboot, with a new story, new combat system and a lot of other new things it might make sense. But in that case how is this a FF VII remake? It should be something like FF VII reboot in that case.
