I think a lot of people are hoping for a "remaster" of FFVII, including me. I'd buy a PS4 solely for FFVII in an instant, assuming they did a good job of course.

FFX would be great, but I'm annoyed it's only on PS3, which I skipped.

This was quite a while ago, but Square announced they would not do a FFVII remake until another FF outsells it. FFVII had around 10 million sales. The closest was FFVIII with 8.15 million sales.

Which is a weird statement to make. I'd stop making remakes of those SNES classics for all sorts of devices and start work on a true remake of the best (selling) Final Fantasy which was FF7. I can't help but feel they are scared to try.

I always thought they wouldn't rerelease it considering they may/would have to strip out the scenes where Cloud cloud dresses and gets gangbanged in a bathtub.

Not sure what the HD rerelease of that would look like.

The X and X-2 remasters are coming out on the Vita too, FWIW.
