So they may announce it later in 2010? and when should we expect this remake? 2013?

I really dont get why people want this so much... we have all played it. A rermake wont be any better it will just look different.

I prefer looking forward to looking back.

That also resumes my feelings towards the subject.

Eventhough I'm not a big fan of FFVII, you could even say I 'heavily dislike' the game, I feel that of any of the games in the series it is the one that deserves a remake.  But like I said above, because it actually NEEDS it.  If they're simply going to improve the graphics, tweak the battle engine, throw together a few extra areas and then call it a 'remake' (kind of like FFIV on DS), then that's not adequate.  The game as we know it today practically needs a full revision of the story, probably a new layout of the way you reach certain areas and interact with certain characters (Yuffies 'stealing Materia', Sephiroths Backstory, Aeris' ENTIRE character, etc) and entirely redesign the entire game engine.
