Remake.......

[Squall of SeeD]

No, a couple of years ago Square did release a statement saying they planned on future remakes for FF7, FF8, and FF9, but they have long since taken that back.

Indeed. I have the issue of the U.S. Official PlayStation Magazine from 2001 in which it is mentioned that Square fully intended to do this.

It should be noted, however, that this issue was released the same month (or month before) Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, the finacial fiasco that crippled Square. After that, they canceled the remake projects.
