2017 is the 20th anniversary of FF VII, so that's no doubt what they're aiming for.
But from what I heard, Square Enix aren't the ones making this game, but rather Cyberconnect 2. Though I haven't seen any confirmation on this yet.

They're collaborating with Cyberconnect 2. But C2 isn't working on the project alone. They've most likely been contracted to help because of the sheer magnitude of the project.
