Why you are not getting a Final Fantasy VII remake

Japanese reviewers and gamers were quite unhappy with the linearity present in “Final Fantasy XIII”, but this is due to the time-consuming process of creating free-roaming worlds with towns in them, explains Square Enix’s Yoshinori Kitase. This is also the reason why a “Final Fantasy VII” remake, a game quite ambition is scope, is either ways off or a pipe dream:

“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.”

So please, whatever you do, don’t hold your breath for this one.
