But the CAN move on in terms of game "creation"... it just wont be a new story or magic system, etc.

It's not like they'll simply be converting it to another patform *cough*FFIV*cough* but making a new game (in a sense) reusing a very popular idea.

I'm not saying I want something DIFFERENT to FFVII - in the same way that the Zelda games are all different - as it'll have the same plot, story, combat system, weapons/armour/magic, etc etc. (Besides, look at how popular Zelda is these days...)

Does that make sense?
