Why hasn't Square made an FF7 remake?

[Mercernary]

I'm pretty sure they are remaking it. They've given some very strong hints.

because all the intelligent people working at square have either retired or died of the plague, leaving only retarded squid to work on story, gameplay, and characterization, as well as marketing strategies.

Because currently they're in their "Fabula Nova Crystallis" universe and a "remake" of FF7 onto a next gen console equals making a completely new game.

Ok, they could leave the story and dialogues the same....but the transition from prerendered backgrounds to full 3D is a lot of work. And that's not the only area that is in need of some serious updates... the movies...the battles...the minigames...probably the whole materia-system.

because it was perfect 1st time round.

Because they're tired of FFVII and wants to make something new?

They are milking the ff7 franchise dry - the remake wont come till all the fanboys get tired and stop buying everything labelled FF7.

Only then will they do the remake to revitalise the franchise and get people buying more shit!
