Why, I don't have time. I've grown up as many of FF7's original audience has. And will put what little time I have for games into new games. And many of my old buddies agree with me that they wouldn't buy it either. Same reason no time and we want something new with what little time we have for games. Basically the old audience will be less And the new audience, isn't going to happen. Games are not heading for an RPG future. As much as I love them, I'm realistic. They aren't nearly as popular outside of Japan as other genres. GTA 4 to be exact. You know it will sell 3 or 4 times as much as FF13. Do not argue that. Yes I'll even be picking it up. Of course I'm more interested in 13 though. But I'm out of the popular vote. Basically there're wouldn't be enough of the old audience to support the cost of a remake and without new people = a dead game.
The world is much bigger than you and your old buddies. I visit many forums, and I can guarantee to you that the number of people who are waiting for a remake is HUGE.
And you aren't being realistic. You are just stating your opinion. But something you have to understand, is that you don't know the future and your opinion is not a fact.
You need to get your facts straight too. For example:

They only said they want to work on what the people want. They never said they wanted to remake FF7.
Wrong. They said many times they want to remake FFVII. Nomura even said in an interview that other people inside SE are constantly asking him when they will remake it.

Thinking logically, why would they want to remake it instead of create something new? Ignore your love of the game. That's like a researcher creating a new antibiotic releasing it to market then going back in to change it. That doesn't happen. You get other people to evaluate it and change it, because you are done with it and want to research something else and start work on a another antibiotic. Point is untold stories will have much much more appeal to developers than those that have already been done. That's the way humans are my friend. We like to do new things. That's only my opinion though. Either way it did mention that a possible remake would need to work with both Nomura's and Kitase's schedules. And in case you didn't notice but... Yea... It's not gonna happen those 2 are booked for probably the next 10 years. Just think how big KH3 will need to be to compete against other games.
"Why would they want to remake it instead of create something new?" you ask.
It doesn't matter. They want to. Deal with it.

And in case you didn't notice, Nomura and Kitase can work in multiple projects, they don't need to focus in only one. An example, is Nomura working on FFvsXIII and FFVII:ACC.



I'm sure you noted I'm being a little agressive with you, but I don't like when people state their opinion as if it's a fact.
You don't have a crystal ball to see the future, and you aren't well informed about SE's intentions for the future, considering the fact you never read any interview with them, it seems.
Therefore, everything you said here is nothing more than speculation.
