During a presentation at the annual shareholder’s briefing, the current Square Enix CEO, Yoichi Wada, gave a rather specific condition that must be met before the company can consider a remake of the classic RPG ‘Final Fantasy VII’.
That condition, according to website Andriasang, is that Square Enix must develop a game that “exceeds the quality of FFVII’”. The website is translating from Japanese to English and did not give an exact quote, though the reputable site does state that his response was “something to the effect”.
The site goes on to say that the CEO stated that if Square Enix “were to release a 7 remake right now, the FF franchise would be done with”. Fans have been asking for a remake of Final Fantasy VII since the dawn of next-gen technology. Square Enix has never been specific on the topic, wavering from teasing the idea to shooting it down.
The latest tech-trailer for Square Enix’s LUMINOUS STUDIO engine, shown at E3 could posses the power to make a title so grand, that even die-hard Cloud lovers would name it king. If that’s even possible, and even if it was there’s no promise that Square Enix would ever remake the title.
