SquareEnix: professional trolls.

From the CEO - Yoichi Wada on why they have yet to remake FF VII:

it would not remake the legendary RPG until it makes a brand new Final Fantasy game that "exceeds the quality" of Final Fantasy VII.

In a candid statement, Wada clarified that he feels the current slew of titles in the franchise have not surpassed their popular predecessor in terms of quality. He stressed that while they hopefully would manage this in future, if the team were to remake Final Fantasy VII before this was achieved, then the Final Fantasy franchise "would be done with"

So what I take from it is that they basically admit that FFVII was the last in the series that did well (by his definition), and if they remade it now, consumers would not want to play any other FF installment because of the awesomeness of the FFVII remake.

They just need to remake it already and realize the amount of profit they are sitting on.....
