2017 would be awesome but with them not even being done with FFXV after all these years and then barely starting on KH3, that seems awfully early

To be honest the remake should be alot faster than an original game for obvious reasons.

For one, FF XV is an open world game. FF VII is a location based game with an overworld. The turn based battle system is already there (they better not fuck with it too much). The plot is there, yes they are going to add some stuff and change a few things, but its all there.

The dev cycle could be fairly quick if they go with pre-rendered backgrounds in order to maintain the feel of the original (which I honestly hope they do). If this game takes rediculously long to make its not FF VII anymore, its a game based on FF VII...

Well it'll be a remake done to modern standards. 

But you bring up an interesting point, many people have assumed this going to me remade in the vision of a modern RPG, fully explorable world, third person view, the whole works. For all we know it may be fixed camera, pre-rendered environment, top down/isometric perspective like the orginal. I think that would mortify alot of people, the CG trailer has set expectations of what they're going for.
