Why Is Square Enix Not Re-Doing ‘Final Fantasy VII’…?
Square Enix recently denied that they are working on a PS3 remake of the fan favorite Final Fantasy VII (alliteration FTW!) but didn’t say it would never happen.
Clark Kent says: Out of all the remakes being forced down our throats (see: ‘Teen Wolf’) — Square can’t give us a straight answer about a game that folks hold near and dear to their hearts? More about this after the jump.
Now Motomu Toriyama and Yoshinori Kitase, the director and the producer of Final Fantasy XIII, try to explain one reason why it would be so hard to remake the original Playstation game. Cue the violins.
In an interview with Ultimania magazine, Toriyama relates a discussion about the lack of towns in FFXIII with the problems of remaking FFVII.
“…it is a result of considering HD graphics will be the mainstream. Considering the amount of work to make graphics that deserve HD, it is hard to make towns in the conventional style.”
Kitase added by saying, “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.”
Clark Kent says: Pure fluff. But let’s keep on them and hopefully we can get a remake in 2011! What do you think?
