So true. 
I don't buy SE's BS about how it would take ~10 years to make this like gamers want. And all because it has towns? OMGZ, NOT TOWNS!! While we have open world games with larger cities than in FF7 (at least the parts you could explore). Plus, most of the work is already done for them. Story, character and enemy designs, environments, and battle statistics. The only thing they would have to really do is touch up some of the dialogue, record mtion capture and voices, and take the pre-rendered backgrounds and convert them into 3D poly models. This would cut production time in about half, as well as make it cheaper than the development of a brand new game in the franchise.
Of course, if they do make a remake, I would want them to wait to put it on the PS4. This way the graphics can be closer to the original backgrounds than if it were on the PS3. It would also give the PS4 a killer game for all regions.
