Square, stop remastering/remaking every Final Fantasy except the one we want *ahem*VII*ahem*. I believe one of the higher ups said that they'd do it if it was a smart financial move. It's been almost 10 years since the tech demo was shown and we're still begging for it. Wtf more do they want?

HD remastering FFX and FFXII is a hell of a lot easier than HD remastering FF7 would be. With the PS2 games, all that's really needed is to pretty up the textures and backgrounds. Remastering FF7 in HD, unless you just wanted something that looked like the Eidos-made PC version of FF7 that's already on Steam, would be basically developing a completely new game from the ground up.

Well, they already had the assets made for it, as shown by the tech demo. But, over the last 9 years, instead of making the one game that everyone constantly begs for, funnels rumors for, etc. they make a bunch of games we don't want. Nobody asked for a FFX remaster. Nobody asked for a FFXII remaster. After the debacle of FFXIII, nobody asked for XIII-2 or Lightning Returns. How hard would it really be to redo VII? The story is already in place, the battle system is in place, etc. They'd just have to build the character models and environments. Is that really that hard? Harder than making a new freakin game engine for a game that's 8 years into development hell (Final Fantasy Versu....I mean Final Fantasy XV)?
