SQUAREWATCH (20100204): Yoshinori Kitase explains why an HD remake of FFVII is not go

[Magus]

Blah, we need news about how something that was just a stupid rumor ISN'T going to happen? Hey, guys, there's also not going to be a new Ogre Battle: In the Lap of the Gods game, either. Let's talk about that, because THAT is a crime, okay?

I figured the point of it was more that Square, apart from being lazy, is more worried about SUPAH GRAFIKS YEAH than about the gameplay. You know, deciding that the game looking pretty was more important than freedom from a ball-crushingly linear path, more important than towns, more important than seamless transitions into battle, and who knows what else the game being REALLY PRETTY GUYS OKAY was more important than to them.
