Insider Information (FF7 remake and why we havn't got it)

[Rowan]

So I recently had the opportunity to talk with someone working for squareenix. Many interesting things were said, a lot pertaining to FFXV and what we can expect. But a lot of other unrelated questions were also asked. One of the more interesting questions and even more interesting answers were in regards to why we still dont have that FF7 remake. Here is the response;

>"Initially when FFXIV bombed, it was to be decided that the FFVII remake would go ahead as a means of making back the money we lost on XIV (pre ARR). Instead, we had used leftover resources to make two FFXIII titles."

So there we have it. Instead of a polished reworked FF7 we got 2 FF13 titles.
Discuss.
