I finally beat Final Fantasy VII after about 45 hours, but the end video leaves more questions then answers. My question is, did the gang die or did they survive the accident?
This may make as many questions as it answers, but Advent Children was the follow up to FF VII

So far I have logged 24 hours in FF VII and I just finished disc 1. Anyway, keeping that in mind, how long can I expect it to take me to get through disc 2, and then disc 3?
If I remember well (which I may not, as it's been >5 years since I've played the game), the second disc is roughly as long as the first one, or perhaps a bit shorter. The third disc consists of the "endgame" bits -- the final dungeon, plus all the optional sidequests and bosses. Depending on how much of this side content you do, you could stretch your playtime quite far. If you just consider the main storyline, however, you're pretty much halfway through.

In Final Fantasy VII, I'm near the end of the 2nd CD: I would like to level up my characters in order to have chances to defeat Weapons.
Where I can find monsters that give a good amount of EXP (better if easy to beat)?
Can you suggest some alternative strategies to accomplish the grown of my characters? (I use Cloud, Tifa and Barret).
The best place to level up in ff7 is the Swamp area in the Northern Crater, it is in the final dungeon of disc 3, but is by far the best place to level. If you are leveling to fight the optional weapons (Ruby, Emerald, Ultima) then i would just progress until you can level here. The enemies you want are Movers, they have little (0?) exp but insane AP and are easily killed, and Magic Pots give great exp and ap, but require an elixir to kill (must give it to them first). You can steal elixirs from Gighee Which is also found in the swamp.
General method in the swamp is Steal Elixirs from Gighee (Or just use W-Item Duplication on Elixirs), use Elixirs to kill Magic Pots. Also, while hunting these two be sure to kill Movers great AP, and just run from everything else. This place is so good I usually end up putting my save crystal here.
If that isn't preferred, where you currently are I would recommend Mideel area, the Spiral and Head Hunter (found in forest) enemies give good exp and ap for that part of the game.
If you want to auto level you can fight the Midgar Zolom (Just stand inside the Midgar Swamp with X taped down, turbo might be needed). You can also auto level on certain beachs by holding down, your character will run up and then down the beach in constant motion. Again having X taped down will auto kill monsters. For these methods you might want to consider Sneak Attack materia in your setup.
Hope this helps

I have heard lots of rumors on this but does anyone knows for sure?
There have been rumors since 2005, but Square Enix has explicitly stated that no remake is in the works. I don't think they will be remaking it any time soon, as they haven't exploited all of the possible re-release avenues.
If you need your Final Fantasy VII fix, it has been released on the Playstation Network.

Basically, when I defeat the last boss in FFVII, can I keep on playing the game? I.e. return to the world map and fight other super bosses? Or should I get everything done before the final fight?
I seem to remember completing it once and I just got credits and the game ended. Seems a bit lame not be able to play on!
Once you defeat the final boss the ending FMVs and credits start to roll and eventually takes you to the main menu,
So in short, yes, you remember correctly - get all the side quests completed before taking the last boss on.

What do the attribute values such as "Spirit" and "Vitality" do in FF7? I know one of these helps to reduce damage, but an explanation of what each category does would be helpful for early-game strategies (I'm replaying!).
Spirit affects magic defense. Having more spirit lowers incoming magic attack damage.
One note from the wiki:
The player's overall Magic Defense was intended to be a sum of the character's Spirit stat and the MDef value of their armor, but due to a bug in the coding, the MDef value is not used and Spirit alone determines the character's Magic Defense.
Vitality affects physical defense. High vitality lowers damage from physical attacks.
EDIT: There's a full guide here (Thanks for the wiki link):
