HD Kills FFVII PS3 Remake - News (PS3)
Every time Square Enix opens its collective mouth, passionate Final Fantasy fans slap it in the metaphorical face and squeal, “We don't care about that WHERE'S FFVII REMAKE?”. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint) the company has resisted the urge to recreate Midgar in HD, and chief of the reasons why is because it would be too hard to do. That's according to a recent interview with Ultimania magazine (via Lost Gamer ), where Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama spoke of the challenges in realising the world of Pulse. “It's very hard to make games on the PlayStation 3 in the same style as the games in that era had. Making graphics will take enormous time,” explained Kitase on the lack of a Final Fantasy VII remake. This workload was the reason why Final Fantasy XIII lacks many town areas, according to Toriyama.Final Fantasy character designer Tetsuya Nomura has told fans not to look forward to a Final Fantasy VII remake any time in the near future, but stated instead that main character Cloud Strife has plenty of cameos and whoring left in him. "Fans are looking forward to an oft-rumored remake of FFVII , but I don't believe this will happen for the time being," admits Nomura.

The truth about the FFVII remake

The mere thought of a proper Final Fantasy VII sends us into fangasmic fits, filling our heads with fleeting visions of taking down Shinra and saving the world from Sephiroth once more.FFVII Remake unrealistic
