 Yoshinori Kitase's full response to OXM on 2011:

"In the transition between XIII to XIII-2, it was quite easy because obviously we kept all the data and the engine - we had just finished using them so it was almost like they hadn't gone cold. The technology was already warm and ready to use, so it was quite good. Also within the team, we still had a feel for the game, it was still new to us, still lingering with us, so we were ready to move on to the sequel.

 

"But if we were to take one of the past Final Fantasy titles and make a sequel to it, I think that would be a lot more challenging because when they were on PlayStation and PlayStation 2 their actual game volume was a lot bigger, kind of.

 

"Graphically they weren't as advanced as they are now, but there were lots of towns and worlds and cities and whatever. So if we were to recreate the same kind of game - sequel or not - with the same volume, but give it a much higher level of graphical quality, it would us take three times, four times, even ten times longer to make such a game. So making a sequel for an old game would be a lot more challenging."

 

A big part of this would be down to the fact that making the world map graphically lush would be preposterous, and they might have to rework that whole system

Hopefully they wouldn't be that dumb, though, and just keep the world map simple

Like I said,

 

Sony has publishing to FF7 in America and in European regions.

 

FF7 will not come unless it's for a very good reason....and a favorable deal to both Sony and Square-Enix....basically

This just isn't true. If Sony has any rights to any version (it's not clear that they do), it's to the PS1 version alone. They don't have rights to the PC version, and there's nothing indicating they'd have first refusal rights for exclusivity on a remake.


Like I said,

That's how Publishing worked back in the 80's and 90's, and that's what Sony does for a living.

So if you want to try and prove Sony doesn't have rights, the onus is on you, because Sony did publish that game.....and really, that's a period.

 

 

You won't see Final Fantasy 7 without Sony's say so.....and thus, you haven't.

 

PS...to Zuhyc......it was Eidos that put the PC version out....hence, Square-Enix


And Nintendo published several FF games on the NES/SNES in America, that didn't stop SE from releasing ports (= the exact same game, not a remake!) on the PS1, PSP and PSN.
