I think a remake can be great!! If it will look like FFVII AC, it could be epic! And i would definitlay buy it even though i have the "old" version

I would love to see a remake, especially since Sony decided to tease us with a tech demo of what the game would look like on PS3... oh how I wish they didn't do that  . We can only dream for now I suppose.

FF13 Producer Explains Why FF7 Remake is Unlikely
John Funk posted on 5 February 2010 11:54 am

According to Final Fantasy XIII Producer Yoshinori Kitase, there are actual reasons why Final Fantasy VII hasn't been remade other than "because Square-Enix hates money."

Longtime readers of The Escapist may have noticed my fondness for lengthy recaps when news posts have important backstories, but in this case, the recap doesn't need to be lengthy at all: Obsessed Final Fantasy VII fanboys have been slavering for a modern remake for years, and despite teasing from Square-Enix, the official word is "No, it's not happening right now, stop asking."

But why isn't it happening? A remake of Final Fantasy VII would easily sell millions of copies worldwide, and the story, characters, and gameplay mechanics all already exist - does Square-Enix just hate the thought of millions of fanboy dollars flooding its coffers? In the latest issue of Ultimania, FF13 producer Yoshinori Kitase admitted that there were technical difficulties presenting themselves that made a remake unlikely.

Intriguingly enough, the FF7 info came to light in reference to the studio's newest game. In answering questions about the lack of traditional towns and the overall linearity of Final Fantasy XIII, the game's director Motomu Toriyama said that part of it was due to the difficulty of working in such a demanding graphical environment. "[A non-stop story] is one of the reasons, but more importantly, it is a result of considering HD graphics will be the mainstream. Considering the amount of work to make graphics that deserve HD, it is hard to make towns in the conventional style."

Kitase echoed those statements, saying that the same problem was one of the reasons Squeenix wasn't working on a remake of its groundbreaking PS1 title. "This issue is related to whether a Final Fantasy 7 remake will happen or not. It is very hard to make games on PlayStation 3 in the same style as the games in that era had. Making graphics will take enormous time."

I'm not quite sure I buy it, seeing as how the studio did a decent job with the infamous 2006 tech demo - is he just saying that it would be too hard to render environments and graphics in modern technology, while still being faithful to the original game in a way that won't send the diehard fans into a frothing rage of "They changed it, now it sucks!"?

I would love to see a remake, however I doubt they will because they don't want to tarnish the success of the original... Can't blame them I suppose.

Have to relegate myself to buying it from the PSN store and playing it on the PSP.

Sorry for the double posting, but since 2 posts are about the remake of FFVII


I found some news. Yes sorry it is in Dutch. But what it comes down to is this:   


Kitase says: "As long as people are asking about a remake, i will keep thinking about it. It would be an unique expercience to remake FFVII

New quote's found on the remake of FFVII

"Right now we don't have a clear direction, but many fans have requested we remake Final Fantasy VII. We're going to explore the possibility - whether or not we're going to do it, if we're going to do it, and the platform."

If we have the necessary facilities and had a good developmentspace to make the remake of Final Fantasy VII within one year, we would like to do it."
