Well, as a fairly devout fan since FF2(states) until they come out with something resembling the original format, I think I'll steer clear for a while.
also, if we bring up FF7 we have to remember that it would be impossible for them to create a remake because they stated that they have to create a Final Fantasy game that succeeds FF7 in Sales and Profit.
Lets put it this way. Look at the miserable failure that was "Spirits Within". They were willing to take a chance sinking in a ton of money into that (all be it beutiful) mess. Theres no way a remake of FF7 would cause them that much harm. Not with as many people who are waiting eagerly for it.
Try to appreciate those who live during your own life time, because we'll all be dead soon enough.
