Kitase is dreaming about a remake of Final Fantasy VII

During an interview for TV emission "Next Gen" on the french Tv Channel MCM, Yoshinori Kitase, producer of Final Fantasy Series, announced, he hoped work for a remake of FF VII but it will not realize before FFXIII and FF Versus XIII.
And he said that :

Yoshinori Kitase (in french) : "Tous les jours je me réveille et le projet avance peu à peu, bien qu'il ne soit encore qu'à l'étape de réflexion."

"Everyday, I wake up and the project advance gradually, Well, it's just at the step of reflexion."

agree if you think they are scretly making it or disagree if not

i think they already decided to make it

[MrWonderful]

i think as much as they talk about it that its coming i expect an announcement by TGS of next year.

[DrakenSilverwing]

Hell Yeah they have been makin it. prolly been workin on it sense they showed that "tech demo".. i can't wait!!

[PLiPhaze]

But I really REALLY hope they are!

[Megaton]

I think they're still undecided about it, but leaning towards the green light.

[SeanScythe]

I say maybe we will hear someone slip some info at E3. I mean the game is constantly getting it's tracks laid and I think we are just now starting to hear the rumble. This game is coming and it's the main reason I bought a ps3 because I knew this game would arrive sooner or later.

[BilI Gates]

I think it's because working with the PS3 for XIII has really opened up new ideas and visions for him. He's the producer for XIII.

MAKE IT BRO! :)

[J@D]

That's not enough... FF7 is huge buddy'. It can reach like 12 millions of copies sold worldwide on all the regions easily and especially sold a TONS of PS3 hardware that 4 sure.

[PirateThom]

Don't be surprised if Sony throw a little money Square Enix's way to make sure it happens.

Final Fantasy VII HD would be a TKO to both Microsoft and Nintendo. The original sold 10 million copies on PlayStation, it's very possible an HD version could surpass that give how gaming has expanded and it's held in such high reguard.

[DrakenSilverwing]

if they made a special edition PS3 as well even ppl who own the system already (I would!!!) would buy it again just for that!! so multi millions of systems and easy 13 mil software in its time.. 8 mil first year..at least.. if ya counted the bundles as well..

who else would get another system if they made a special one just for FFVII???!!!

[PLiPhaze]

OMG Stop!! Special Edition FFVII PS3?
If that didn't make it to Europe i'd move permanently to Japan!

[Blackcanary]

I think it will happen hell i also think that they would redo FF 8 and 9 for the PS3 and add the Advent children movie as a plus for the PS3 FFVII. We will proberly see it in shops for Xmass 2009 or 2010

[pwnsause]

its going to happen during the PS3's lifetime, and it will be PS3 exclusive, the actual question is when.

[SUP3R]

They've been talking about it a lot lately, which means they're probably already working on it and just dropping hints here and there every so often.
If this happens and as mentioned above, they make a special edition PS3, I am one of those that will be buying a 2nd PS3 just for the limited edition FFVII version.
Make it happen Square stop teasing and make one of the biggest announcements in gaming ever.

-EDIT-

So after I saw the news image for this article I went searching and found this one and got really excited. Then I got to thinking, SE could make like 3 different collector cases for the game: Aries, Cloud & Sephiroth.

[vloeistof]

well se want to make it sony would love it if they make it and lots of gamers want it win win for evryone. except ms and nintendo then

[Kain81]

is already in Work they will annaounce it at E3 or TGS.
And my Dream will come true^^

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Kinda doubt it, since FF7's original crew is needed, and most of them are either working on FF13, or FFvs13, so if there is an FF7 remake it will be worked on after the release of one of those two.(man square has a lot of games in dev right now don't they?)

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Dude if FF7 does get remade, I would love to have that story pic as the actual case.

[hay]

It's HUUUGE money. Square won't resist it.
I think they want to push their PS3 possibilities further and then create a remake. Also they could use expanded battle system from FF13. Maybe I'm crazy, but for me this sounds reasonable enough to believe in it.

[gangel]

N'import'nawak ?

It's a French expression who mean "it's not true", "it's not possible", "you kidding me", "it's a bad joke". I don't know the real translation to the english word and sorry for my english, i'm French lol.

In France, this remake is very "waited" ? that's the good word ? ^^

[hay]

I would use 'anticipated', but we all got your point ;]

[spooky205]

completely and utterly destroy the wii and the 360. i believe sony has some sort of publishing rights to final fantasy 7 so it it came out it would be a ps3 exclusive. i can already see the headlines " ps3 sales spike by 500%." final fantasy 7 is aruguebly one of the best rpgs ever made. not only does it have nostalgia value but the story is still the best out of all the other final fantasys.

[OddBoy]

Yeah, N'import'nawak is a (very strange) french expression (I'm french, sorry if my english is not correctly). It comes from the expression " N'importe quoi ! " who mean " You're saying bullshit ! " or something like that...

Personally, I prefer that Kingdom Hearts 3 is releasing, rather than the remake of FF7.
