Participating in a round-table discussion with press at the launch of Final Fantasy XIII in Korea, director Motomu Toriyama, producer Yoshinori Kitase and Square Enix’s Shinji Hashimoto have once again fielded the request that just won’t die: can we have a Final Fantasy VII remake in HD? Kitase said:
“We’ve gotten this question a lot from many countries (laughs). To make FFXIII at this level of quality, it took us three to four years. If we were to make FFVII in the same style of FFXIII, it would take ten times as long, so it would be difficult to take it up immediately. However, we always keep in mind how often this is requested.”
No rush guys, whenever you’re ready. We’ll still want it when we’re old and grey.
