Even though I wasn't too big a fan of FFVII, I'd still buy it, I mean I've tried getting into VII again, many times, but the graphics just put me off so god damn much (See, I never have that problem with IX, since it looks beautiful for a PS1 game)
I mean, It'd be nice to see it even in PS2 styled graphics, atleast it'd be an improvement, and just throw some extra AA over it, upscale it, basically give it a "God of War Collection Makeover" and hey presto that's playable by me.
But I can't see why they couldn't make it to be honest... and secondly, shouldn't it be Nomura talking about it? I can't remember what his relation to the game was, I'm probably getting him mixed up with someone else, cause I'd imagine him just being the art designer, but whatever, lol.
