FFVII, VII and IX remakes are not coming out. They have been taken off the Square release schedule.

Considering the various versions of PSOne FF's that are about (Greatest Hits, International versions and so on), it would not make commercial sense to spend all that money on re-vamping these games.

I would love to see FFVII with fully orchestrated soundtrack, PS2 quality graphics and such but it ain't gonna happen sadly. It would simply cost too much to do.

Why would people want to spend $40 on a game that is available for $20 on Greatest Hits? Why would people buy the same game again? Obviously purists and completists would - but when there are versions already available that work on PS2 it would be financially suicidal to expect the mass market to pay for the same game again.

There is no reference now on Square's Jap site about the remakes (or at list it isn't where it used to be.)
