Sorry if old.

Found this in Kotaku.

Square Enix designer Tetsuya Nomura reiterated the no-plans watch for a Final Fantasy VII remake any time soon, although it would take much more than the nuanced way he said it to put to rest the speculation on this game.

In the current Famitsu, Nomura, who designed the game's much-beloved characters, says:

Fans are looking forward to an oft rumored remake of FFVII, but I don't believe this will happen for the time being. However, it's possible that he will appear in other titles as a guest character.

So, "for the time being," isn't a "no way, never," but it's indefinite enough that Final Fantasy VII fans are just going to have to play the PSOne original. That said, the potential for cameo appearances by the protagonist of this cherished game is something to look forward to.

Nomura: No on Final Fantasy VII Remake, Yes on Cloud Cameos
[Andriasang]

What game do you think Cloud will be cameo??

That's most likely the case. Birth By Sleep is already out and it's secret ending hints at the next title so it only makes sense.

Well, Nomura must hate money because a good FF7 remake would sell... a lot. I wonder what the reason is.

Nope defenetly not, i dont think that makes much sense. FF characters in KH arent cameos, they are actually part of the story. Im very sure it is a FF7 sequel after DoC. Remember when he said he was working on a new title, but isnt a new IP, and he wasnt excepecting to start so soon? I doubt he was talking about KH3, cause he already knew he was gonna start KH3 after BBS. I think hes talking about another game of the FF7 compilation and he wasnt excepecting to start it so soon, but maybe cause of all the talking FF7 is getting, SE decided to work on a new FF7 game. Cloud will make a cameo appereance just like DoC.

I see this as a good thing seeing as if they did remake ff7....it would probably have a bunch of compilation BS put into it.

My god. SE needs to let go of FFVII. It's not even close to one of the best games in the series and Cloud is a horrible character.

I still say that Square Enix needs to remake them in order. They need to do FF V and FF VI first before they even start talking about a VII remake. And to answer everyone's question, a FF VII remake done on the PS3 would require resources on the level of FF XIII. I don't think Square Enix is willing to embark on a major project like this with so many projects still in the works. They have the Dragon Quest VI remake, Dragon Quest X, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and a bunch of smaller or unknown projects to worry about without the added stress of trying to remake a game that will have insane levels of scrutiny compared to other remakes. I'm sure they will tackle it someday, but for right now, they have too much on their plates to pull their resources into the remake of a game that still sales like hotcakes on PSN. I can see their logic, why rush into a remake when the original still sales so well? We'll probally see remakes of Final Fantasy V and VI before we ever hear whispers of a VII remake.

Sometimes I feel like the only person who really liked Final Fantasy VII that doesn't want to see it get a remake. I just don't see it as necessary; I'd rather them put those resources into something original. If I want to play Final Fantasy VII, I've got it on PS1 and PSN. If anyone wants to play Final Fantasy VII and doesn't have it, buy it on PSN already instead of holding out for a remake.

Well at least the utter destruction of the JRPG genre is put on hold. Other genres move forward while people are excited for this one to move backwards

That's because the genre as a whole is mostly passed its prime.

They're really not. They play no real role in the central story, and their roles are essentially as filler as any of the Disney characters who are Mickey, Donald, or Goofy.

Wrong.... Wrong.. WRONG!! DS JRPG line up is top quality unlike the ps3/ 360/ Wii line ups which are lousy!!
