Yoshinori Kitase has mentioned several times that a Final Fantasy remake is not happening, or that it's budget would be too high, yet people keep asking for it.

It seems though that Square Enix may be considering a Final Fantasy 7 remake, as they asked their followers on their official twitter account, what they thought about the idea of a Final Fantasy VII remake, suggesting that they may now be considering making the game.

They then had to post a tweet telling users to stop giving feedback a couple of hours later, as they had received an incredible amount of interest. They also mentioned that work on Versus was taking up a lot of time right now, so it is unlikely that we'll see an FF7 Remake soon.

So why aren't Square jumping on this chance to make a potentially (most likely) 4 or 5 million-selling game? Or are they just denying as long as they possibly can to surprise us later?

-to summarize:

Square asked on twitter if anyone would be interested in a FF VII remake, they got so many tweets that they had to tell there followers to stop tweeting them.

Good just make sure that clown who directed 13 isn't part of the project.

Are they serious? They just realized that?

Goddamnit Square-Enix, wake up.

I can't believe they're serious. I'm pretty sure they're already working on something.

Versus well in development according to there twitter..

BUT, them asking this is basically a confirmation of them atleast considering it.

Haven't they been considering this for years? Ever since the PS3 came out there's been this rumor.

Hmm, this thread needs more algebra.

They said it would take them 10 years to make it last time.

not a rumor anymore, they actually asked whether or not people actually wanted it, and go way too many responses.

Why would you ask if people want it if you aren't considering a remake?

I can't believe that people are encouraging Squeenix to make even more remakes.

Good news, Square. You can fire your writers and your game designers. Your customers just want you to keep your artists so they can up-rez the textures on all the games you've already made for the latest hardware.

I'd prefer a remake of the greatest Final Fantasy game ever made..... VI
