Final Fantasy VII remake flat-out denied by Nomura
Nomura says that Final Fantasy 7 remake is a no-go; Kitase re-inforces the fact.
Sadly, the word on the street is true folks - the Final Fantasy 7 remake isn't going ahead any time soon. Speaking with the most recent issue of Dorimaga, Tetsuya Nomura set the record straight: "It appears that there are often overseas rumors like 'Are you currently developing a VII remake?' My apologies, but we're absolutely not making [such a game]."
Yoshinori Kitase (the director of the original FF7, as well as FF8) was quick to chime in: However, when we ask the staff who are making FFXIII why they entered the company, there are many people who say, 'I'm an FFVII fan, I also want to do a remake.'" Nomura then pointed out that the game has such a large fan-base that, although nothing is planned at this time (in any way, shape or form), they "don't want to proclaim 'the end'" yet.
So in short: no Final Fantasy 7 remake, and if it does go ahead, it won't be seen on shelves for many, many years. Sorry folks.
