You know, It kind of makes me wonder why they don&t just friggin kickstarter the idea, you&re not telling me there aren't enough nostalgia FF7 fans out there willing to put towards a remake, there would EASILY be enough to fund it and then some.

The idea that you can fund a AAA game is just stupid. The biggest Kickstarter ever in terms of gaming was I believe the Ouya with 8.5 million. You can add 10 or even 20 million more to be nice and it probably won't be enough to make a full FF VII remake the way both SE and fans want.

To put things in perspective, FF XII costed $48 million to make. It is speculated that FF XIII costed at least $60 million

I'm pretty sure Star citizen has gone above 20 millions.

edit: apparantly its above 38 million currently. Heck thats very close to the funding of AAA games.
