FINALLY.
FF7 is one of those games that REALLY BADLY needed an overhaul. It's aged extremely poorly with its bizarre super-deformed 3D models. FF8 and FF9 at least look 'okay', good enough to not be eyesores, but FF7 is a whole other ball of wax.
I'll be surprised if they don't continue using the 3D models on pre-rendered backgrounds in the remake, however. Because doing so would allow them to put an absolutely insane amount of detail on the character models and backgrounds. Do it Pillars of Eternity-style (but targeting higher specs, naturally).
If it IS full 3D in the vein of the tech demo, well, I won't be disappointed. Either way, it's gonna look much better than the original, and that's really its biggest flaw (besides the translation work, anyway).
Then again, I haven't actually played the game in ages. I'm not sure how well its gameplay holds up by modern standards...
