Final Fantasy VII Remake: “It’s Happening,” Insider Says

There has been a lot of talk, in the past few years, about a possible remake of the massively popular JRPG Final Fantasy VII, but Square Enix always remained semi-silent on the issue, only dropping hints here and there. A few days ago Producer Yoshinori Kitase himself said that he’d love to do it, but “it would take a lot” for it to happen.

Recently industry insider Verendus, that is known to have very strong connections within the Japanese gaming industry, posted on NeoGAF mentioning that the project is happening:

If it happens I just want them to use an intelligent character level progression, not like the FFX spherier or FFXIII crystarium, these let you spend points but it's just following a path with limited choices and if high level you'll buy everything anyway. The FF7 or FF9 system was great.

no thanks. i'll take something new/good.

If they remake it I dont want them to change the systems much at all. I liked the xp system, materia and all. I just want badass graphics, music all re-done and the ability to speed up cut scenes from summons.

I'm down for it.
