Tetsuya Nomura: Square Enix is not remaking FFVII

Posted Jun 4, 2007 at 5:16PM EST by QJ Staff

It's no secret that most Final Fantasy fans want a FFVII remake. Checking out all corners of the internet will reveal how many rumors and myths there are about Square Enix secretly working on Cloud's shinier hair for the PS3.

Ever since the tech demo, passionate followers believed in their hearts that the remake will indeed come. Well, here's big man Tetsuya Nomura's take on the matter:

"It appears that there are often overseas rumors like 'Are you currently developing a VII remake?' My apologies, but we're absolutely not making [such a game]."

Yes, the FF character designer is talking here. FFVII director Yoshinori Kitase added that most people in FFXIII's development team are fans of the old game and want it remade. Is this some foreshadowing I see?

According to Nomura, the game originally had a character named Hot Blooded Detective Joe when creator Hironobu Sakaguchi wrote it. The story would've followed the main characters around throughout the story. It was scrapped later on when Nomura and Kitase entered the scene. Soon, the other elements came into place as they revised the plot to what it is now.

We've seen these happen before: Hideo Kojima was supposed to quit but he's still working on MGS 4, Shinji Mikami promised to be castrated if Resident Evil 4 ever ported to the PS2. Next thing we know, Squeenix announces FFVII remake is already far in production (with Joe in the cast) after the FFXIII games comes out.

everyone at square enix party really wanted FF7 for playstation 3 only.there no mention of xbox at all, lol. the point they went that far to a shoe demo which was a lot to show a true remake. they already remade final fantasy 1-6 series inculding tactics. what now remake 3d games for ds again. you know what remske could be better and stable on ps3 or psp. touching is for lazy trust it is. they already finished ff6 already come on. **** Best Buy and EB games both had release date on there site say its coming out next year. original ff3 was really meant for ps2 they even had photos of them looking great, that would have been an awesome remake with great graphics. Im not sure if the best or ebgames have the release date still on there site. they need make ff7 because it was kind of slow moving around the cities. playing the original ff7 makes me a little dizzy when game is about to battle. tell me nintendo ds does not have the capabilities of handling the same power as nintendo 64.

Tetsuya Nomura might not be director possibly producer or none. Probably square enix can do without him.

bye see you next year.

i wrote this in less than 7-10 mins. i was bored okay

FFVII is a classic, i'd rather they not remake it...

developers have taken stuff from it and made it better and then people will go on play the remade version and come up with their "oh it's not that good... this is better... they did the same with this game and it was better" and all that bull*****...

let's just appreciate a game for what it is... a legend...

i wouldn't want michael jordan to be suiting up for the bobcats.

# yeah — Guest 2007-06-04 21:36

if square can whore out ff's 1 through 6 on ds/gba, there should be no problem making ff7 on ps3 or psp.

# umm i would?? — Guest 2007-06-04 21:45

i would that would be pretty cool.

# .. — Guest 2007-06-04 22:18

All it would take is one remake of this game to capture all the fans they missed back with the PS1 game. People could finally realize VII is by far the greatest FF title and most possibly the greatest game ever created.

FFI Has been made 7 times

FFII Has been made 8 times

FFIII Has been made 2 times

FFIV Has been made 5 times

FFV Has been made 3 times

FFVI Has been made 3 times

Seems pretty obvious to me that they'll have to move on from the first six games eventually.

# PARTITION!!!! — Guest 2007-06-05 01:15

Why dont we just start a partition to make a remake???

lol

# oops — Guest 2007-06-05 01:19

I meant petition lol

# rofl — Guest 2007-06-05 01:50

rofl

# Partition! — Guest 2007-06-05 03:01

I'm sure they have enough HD space for a partition dedicated to FFVII xDD

j/k

# If It's Done Right It Could Be Cool — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2007-06-05 03:12

I think if it's done correctly they could potentially make more than the original version. People who normally don't play games would probably get interested if they seen a few videos of it in action and you know it would definitely help Sony sell more PS3s.

# yeah — Guest 2007-06-05 04:43

It's just a matter of team. Meanwhile, we play GTA 4, Fallout 3 and Starcraft 2. Hooray for sequels and remakes.........

# lmfao — Guest 2007-06-05 10:54
