That's what a lot of other people were saying. I'm not exactly sure as to why they wouldn't invest time into the game. A video game that takes years to make, in most cases, usually comes out really good. So, the time and effort put into it actually pays off in the long run. If a game is going to take too long to make, why wouldn't they make it, anyway? Considering the fact that Yoshinori Kitase and co. have been at it for years, you'd think that they would know that. It's not like they don't have the time or the money to pull it off (¥125.271 billion/$1.550 billion). The game would really help their revenue.
@Static Shock: They don't even need all that much time. Nearly eveything it done, they just need to create graphics and voice act that whole thing. Perhaps modernize the level up system, but keeping it the same. Everything else, the plot, the attacking scheme, the mechanics... is done.
@ReVamp: But, then there's the character models and the landscaping. All of it would need to be redone because what's currently in the game is way too old (15 years old). The battle system is a different matter. It should be the same, but with some slight modifications. Or hell, make it downright real-time, action RPG. It would still be good.

That's exactly what I said. Just redo the graphics [characters and landscape] and a few tweaks to the leveling up system [and battles by extension].
@ReVamp: @Static Shock: Eh, I think it be silly to remake FF7. Its a classic, and I think it should stay that way. Plus with a dated combat system, it wouldn't make sense to spend all the money/time to re-release it.
@texasdeathmatch: Yeah, they are. That's the whole problem I have. Even though releasing FF7 would be harder, if you take a look at it the demand that people have for a PS3 FF7 game is much higher to that of a remake of FFX.
@Static Shock: Then just create a new game and let the classics rest. I dunno, remakes for movies can be a terrible idea, but I find remakes of a game (that's over 10 years old) to be even more silly.

I think they can make it happen. But, hey. Different strokes for different folks.
Glad we agree, but I disagree about letting the classics rest.
Then I guess we can't be friends... :D
I mean, I get it, its an epically, beautiful game with an amazing story and intriguing characters, but I've realized as I get older, I rarely replay games after I beat them once.
Like Chrono Trigger, easily the greatest RPG ever (fact, not opinion :P). Loved it, actually played it countless times just to get all the endings and such. But when I heard there was going to be a 3D remake, I thought that was f*cking retarded and would tarnish the 32-bit experience, because it wouldn't be the same game. But whatever, I'm just rambling now.

Well, I want to replay the game. The story is just so complex that I can't remember it totally, which means replaying the experience would be awesome.
