Great. Square-Enix should remake Final Fantasy 6 instead. And when Tetsuya Nomura somehow gets involved and runs the project into the ground, that series can finally be put to death.
The Final Fantasy VII Remake is a Fantasy

FFVII is my favourite game of all time, but come on... can't we just let topics like this die, I mean it's not happening and to be honest, with all the "we want this" and "we want that" crap FFVII fans seem to want, the remake would end up being a huge disappointed to more fans than not.
Enjoy the version you've got and move on
it's the only sure way for your nostalgia not to get ruined.

If people want it so much, fan remake.
and before you say it cna't be done, they've done it with Street Fighter 2 and some wonderful people are currently remaking Half Life with the source engine "properly".
Given it's not quite like remaking FF7 from scratch but i'm saying.
Quit your bitching and start on something, the man who waits for welath dies a poor man.

Sorry Shamus, but the thesis of your article is absurd and proves that you don't fully understand the topics you are discussing. No serious or knowledgeable proponent of a Final Fantasy VII remake has suggested that it would not be an enormous undertaking. Of course it would be, but so what? That is what commerce is all about. Companies invest vast amounts of time, resources, and money into creating a product and then recoup their expenses by selling that product. You remake-deniers act as if they would be doing it out of the kindness of their own hearts. They would be doing it because it would make money for their shareholders. Unlike a Final Fantasy XIII, which is a financial gamble, a remake of Final Fantasy VII would be a virtually guaranteed investment.
This whole idea that "they don't make them like they used to" is ridiculous. Have you not played DragonAge: Origins? Elder Scrolls? Assassins Creed? MMOs like WOW and FFXI? Heck, The Old Republic is being marketed to be easily 10 times the size of Final Fantasy VII.
An FFVII remake would require nowhere near the level of complexity seen in other modern games that, according to you weren't "made like they used to be". There's no customizing of characters, no branching morality changing the way your character is received throughout the game. Everything is scripted and linear. Yes, they would need to design an enormous world. But such a thing is done in contemporary game design on at least a monthly basis. They would also have the option of incorporating a more linear travel system if need be.
If you want to offer a compelling argument for why a FFVII remake is improbable, I'm all ears. But you'll have to do much better than this.

A lot of the thing s said in the article are true to a point, yes it is rather expensive to redo a lot of the graphics, the over world (which is insanely large, and would end up being larger than the world in Fallout 3 since your covering at least 2 or 3 continents), and all the character models and inside the cities. But another thing to point out along with that is that the original team that work on FFVII have moved on to other projects or may have left the company, which is another reason that SE does not want to push a remake of FFVII, personally I would rather play the original that was done by the original team than to have another team of people that had nothing to do with the original come out with a remake of the game.
If they were smart they would release the game as a PS4 exclusive. Imagine how many people will buy a PS4 on launch date, just to play FF7. Again, the costs of such a project would be marginally larger on a more powerful system, but the revenue taken in from PS4 sales, and FF7 sales would surely exceed the costs.
Regardless of price I believe A remake will be well worth the tag Square-enix puts on the game. And honestly, In my opinion Square just isn't the same as it use to be. I mean once they tagged Enix at the end of their name all that came out was terrible or under par games. With the Exception of FFX every game since VII and VIII (Also enjoyed FFIX) were not as anticipated. I find it extremely Ironic that 2 Games in a row (FFVII & FFVIII) SQUARESOFT were able to publish hits in America. But ever since ENIX came into the equation we have been disappointed as a community time after time. If anything, regardless of price, FFVII would boost Squares recognition back to its former glory.
And as far as graphics are concerned. Advent Children, In my opinion, Was a graphic masterpiece. and we didn't hear them complaining about making it.

Meh, I figured it wasn't going to happen. But what about a remake of FFVI for the DS/3DS? That should be doable since they did it with III and IV right?...Please?
