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.
