Despite the fact that this is most likely fact, it does bring up the point that SE keeps avoiding the elephant in the room. Final Fantasy has gotten to the point that its fanbase rejects change, while at the ame time a large majority of them are not just requesting but demanding a remake of FFVII.
Now I'm definitely in the camp of 'FFVII was lackluster' and 'we don't need any more FF ports or remakes'. But I think this game is the one exception of the FF series that actually needs a remake. Unlike nearly any other title in the series, this game did not stand up to the test of time in either graphics or plot. And even later prequels and sequels of the game, such as Crisis Core, have a more coherent storyline and character development that should be improved upon if the game ever sees a remake.
In short, I didn't like FFVII much, but even I agree the game could and should get a remake.
