I doubt it would take SE several years to remake FF7, the cost would be the only big thing. Of course they would have made a lot of money from FFXIII and Versus XIII not including all of their other games.

Time-wise, it should be much less consuming because not only is the story done but the set-up is done as well. Meaning how everything works in FF7 is done(the "what happens next" dilemma) aside of a possible change in combat if SE chooses.

 

Alright, I gotta go to sleep for work tomorrow. Although I might lurk a little before I do. See ya.

 

ALright, I will right my reply now though. They still have to make a whole new world, and that takes verey long. NOw it won't take as long as FFXIII, but how long has/will FFXIII be in development? Since I think 2005. That is abou 4 years if it comes out at the beginning of next year which is the earlies. Now once they are done with Versus would most likely be in developement until the end of 09. Then is the most likely time they will start FFVII remake, and lets say it takes about 3 years to develop after the story and setup is done. That is 2013 far longer than what I believe the ps3 succesor to be released.

 

 

I hate to argue with you about this.  The problem here is that you act like you know something you don't, unless your a Squenix employee. Which, I would assume that you aren't, because as you already said, they're too busy and why would you be wasting your time on these forums.  They would start on development once they have the teams ready, this would probably be a combination of the Last Remnant team and the FFXIII team.  Then, they could start  halfway into 2009, and be done in about 1.5 years which would put them in the same prediciment that FFXII had which sold 5 million copies.  To assume that it will take 4 years to do a remake is just assine.
