Games Thirst – Video Game News, Reviews, Trailers, Wikis And The Official Gamer Drink
President and CEO Yoichi Wada has revealed why gamers haven’t seen the Final Fantasy VII remake they’ve begged, petitioned and lobbied for. Wada believes no other Final Fantasy game has been able to exceed the quality of the 1997 classic, and until that can happen, we’ll never see a remake.
According to a translated report by Andriasang, Wada was speaking at a recent shareholder briefing in Japan where he said presently Square-Enix “is not making Final Fantasy games that exceed the quality of Final Fantasy VII,” so if they were to release a FFVII remake right now, “the Final Fantasy franchise would be done with.”
The report also made known that SE staff would gladly remake the game, and they’d put all their efforts in to make it the best Final Fantasy ever released.

I don’t think it’s bad they’d like top FFVII before actually doing a remake. But if it’s taking too long, they’ll have to forget about it. I think making a remake has its benefits, too. What if it turns out to be a stellar outing, the popularity of Final Final would grow immensely, paving the way for future titles. Even FFVII-2s, and what not.
