It may go down as the cruelest tech demo in the history of videogames: a remake of the very first scene of Final Fantasy VII that was intended only to show off the PlayStation 3’s power, but instead went on to fan desires for a full-blown remake for the last four years. Desires that just keep getting shot down.
The latest crushing rebuff comes from none other than FFVII character designer (and now game director) Tetsuya Nomura, who said in this week’s Famitsu that no one should expect a remake anytime soon. “Fans are looking forward to an oft rumored remake of FFVII, but I don’t believe this will happen for the time being,” Nomura said (via Andriasang).
But wait! It’s not all bad news! Just because there won’t be a remake (for the time being…), that doesn’t mean we won’t see a return of what will probably always be Nomura’s most popular character: FFVII main character Cloud Strife. “It’s possible that he will appear in other titles as a guest character,” Nomura teased.
