Squeenix: “No FF VII Remake, Everyone Go Away.”
Square-Enix has been torturing us slowly in celebration of Final Fantasy VII’s decade of existence. First there were gems like Dirge of Cerberus and Advent Children, though we did receive a dose of painkillers through the Zack-oriented Last Order and Crisis Core.
Now it’s over. Time to change the linen and scrub the blood off the cell walls and wonder what we’ll get as a reward for our endurance.
The answer is, not the Final Fantasy VII remake that Square-Enix should have released in lieu of everything else.
Yoshinori Kitase, the director of Final Fantasy VII and the dungeon master in charge of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, doesn’t foresee a remake happening in the near future:
“My feelings are that if a remake were to work well then all the core members of the original team must be reassembled, all the artists and designers.”
Because the game is just that holy, uh, I guess.
Let us squeeze our bitter disappointment into a tiny little ball and get on with our lives. If you need help in the disappointment department, here’s that Final Fantasy VII PS3 tech demo that made the world take a collective hyper spaz over what may be (or what might have been, as the case may be):

I still enjoy the original… er.. the only… version of FF7, so I don’t really mind.
Besides, with remakes, I always catch myself thinking “Ok, do I REALLY appreciate these new graphics? They worked so hard on them. I should be appreciating these.”
Really, a remake only does it for me if they add new content. I can really work hard to suspend disbelief with graphics.
