That's a pretty pathetic excuse. And what the heck does he mean by "HD quality graphics"? As far as I know, HD is only a burden on the console and the disk capacity. I wouldn't think having more pixels on the screen adds significantly to development time, and making excuses like that is just irresponsible.

I've really no problems with the look of FFVIII on my HDTV, i mean i know when the game was made, and keeping that in mind i can still enjoy the very impressive look of the game.
Now with Vagrant Story, it did take a few hours for my eyes to get used to it.

It would be neat if they factored in some of the details from Crisis Core if they do re-make this...
...and could there be scope for a playable Advent Children scenario? (It wouldn't have to be too long to fit in, story time wise at least - and you could use the character levels you finish the main story with in it.)

I wouldn't mind any CC details as long as they don't take any of the gameplay ideas from CC. Leave FFVII be.
I'd also like to the Turks levels they did in the mobile game playable or at least added and i'd like to play the Yuffie/Vincent mission they were on at the end of the original game. THe one they showed you in Dirge of Cerberus.

currently as it stands it is still only speculation one member of SE said he wants to remake ff7 and another they are not.
i think the future plans for ff7 is going to be determined by well or bad ff13 sales does in the NA market. if ff13 bombs, the financial pressure on SE and financial incentive of a FF7 remake might be enough to put the project into gear.

Also, there's no way that a FFVII remake (likely cut down in terms of volume too) would sell as well as a new installment, yet both would require the same kind of budget and developmental effort. Quote:

i think there some people who like the game and thinks it perfectly fine the way it is.
but a $40 price drop and excess inventory in both used games and new games pretty much tell how the general public feels about the game. FF7 sold 9.8 mil copies world wide. if a remake even sell half that number it would make it among the top seller in ps3. Even a 1/3 of the original number would put it in the top 10 best ps3 sellers.

It's funny that they are bottlenecking the gameplay in their games because they have some ridiculously high standard for CG detail in their ps3 games. How come the western studios aren't that bothered by this? Dragon Age is an HD era game, and it's almost as big in scope and freedom as Baldur's Gate was.

They've already stated in one of many magazine conferences that FFXIII is going to be the last game in the FF series that will be anything like their previous titles, and they're going in a new direction. (Although FFXIV is going to be like XI i'm sure, and fail just as hard. So they're already moving into new directions, or trying to at least.
And I can pretty much say that an FFVII remake would sell very well. As much as the original? Probably not, in fact most likely not, but the number of FF fans that have been wanting an FFVII remake since the PS3 was announced would make FFVII Gold.

There isn't. Kitase and Nomura have expressed interest for years, while reminding everyone that it might be a long time before they can do one (and that it might be difficult to do). If you've noticed, they say the same things in every interview, alternating between expressions of heavy interest and admissions that they have no immediate plans. Similar things were said eight years ago when fans asked for a Final Fantasy VII sequel (i.e. they all love FFVII and it has special meaning. They'd love to return to it. However, they're busy with current projects and it might be hard to make a sequel that lives up to the original). Quote:
