It would not be that hard, just look at open world games. They have towns with people and all that good stuff right? So why would this be any different? The fact they did not do it with XIII is because I think they wanted to hurry it out. The next FF title will most likely be able to have all the towns we are used to. Honestly if it does not then they are just crap and should give up all IP's so a developer with passion would continue them.

They have an engine now, so maximize it and use it.

Open world games 9 times out of 10 are one enviroment that reuse the same assets over and over and over again.  FF7 had waaaaay more settings.

Yeah it had more settings but that just makes them seem lazy. We have tons of action adventure games that go to a whole bunch of different settings with different terrains, do they not make the game because of this? No. It may take some more time, but think of the time they are saving by not already having to write a story. They have the characters already laid out. They have the settings already in place. All you need to do is update it, grab some voice actors, put some love into it, and we have us a remake.

Hey if it comes out it comes out, if not oh well. I just find his remarks irritating (Kitase, not yours)
