Square Enix is now saying that a remake of Final Fantasy VII would take a middle-aged man's entire life to complete.

Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase wants to make it clear that a remake of Final Fantasy VII would take a really, really long time. Remember back when he said it would take fourteen years of development time? Now, he's more than doubled that figure.

Speaking at a roundtable discussion held for the launch of Final Fantasy XIII in Korea, Kitase wasn't surprised at all by the topic of Final Fantasy VII. "We've gotten this question a lot from many countries," he said while laughing. He seems to be a little sick of it.

On the Final Fantasy VII remake this time, Kitase said: "To make FFXIII at this level of quality, it took us 3 to 4 years. If we were to make FFVII in the same style of FFXIII, it would take 10 times as long." Forget fourteen years, a current generation Final Fantasy VII would take forty years to put together! That's older than someone's dad.

Does Square Enix just want to stop the questions about the possibility for a Final Fantasy VII remake, or do these comments make sense? You're got to figure the company can reuse some assets from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children to help the process along or something. I get that Final Fantasy VII was a monumental RPG, especially due to all the cursing, but a forty-year development time is wacky beans.

"Final Fantasy Forever" is what they're saying, 28? 40 years? What the fuck? Maybe they should stop with the faggoty sequels and just remake the damn game already, its all just a graphical overhaul based on already-finalised concepts afterall, which still takes time but they don't have to think about where to go from this point to the next because its all already there.

True or not that's a little disheartening.

A completely bullshit argument and indeed a lie.
Most of FFVII was static rendered backgrounds superposed with polygonal actors , the combat system was based upon random triggers (most of the enemies didnt show up on the screen before combat) and so on.

Their main problem is probably that their linear map generator that was used in FFXIII wont work in FFVII

Its absolutely stupid that they're refusing to remake FFVII, a remake of that would probably get them a hell of a lot more money than another FF to be honest. Lazy fuckers.
