Holy crap, I can't believe some people actually seem angry with SE for doing this. How can anyone be opposed to a company trying to make their fans happy? For years and years people have whined and bitched and begged for an expansion onto the FFVII universe (it IS widely proclaimed to be the best FF game ever, whether you agree or not), and now that the people are finally getting what they wanted, they still complain.

Yeah, they're also doing it for the vast amounts of cash. Guess what? That's what companies do, they make money. People will buy it, so they're going to make it.

If you don't like it, don't play it. The fact of the matter is, there ARE people who want this to happen, so instead of bickering about it, just go play something else.

SE can assign a team to develop a FFVII remake and it will not affect any other game's development AT ALL. They have a LOT of development teams (Square teams, Enix teams, Tri-Ace teams, Game Arts teams, Working Design teams...), how else do you think that they're managing to currently work on FFXII, Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, Before Crisis, Kingdom Hearts 2, Code Age Commanders, Grandia 3, Radiata Stories, Romancing Saga, Dragon Quest VIII, Fullmetal Alchemist 2, FullMetal Alchemist 3, Front Mission Online, Front Mission 5, FFII Mobile, Front Mission 2089 Mobile, Hexcite Fushion, Ambrosia Odyssey, Drakegard II, Heavy Metal Thunder, Dragon Quest Monsters series, FFIII (DS), FF: Crystal Chronicles (DS), Secret of Mana (DS), World of Mana, Slime Morimori Dragon Quest 2, FFXIII (this is confirmed to be in development), and a sequel to FFXI?

I mean seriously, who cares what the company does? If you think they're whoring out a series, then don't buy the games and move on.

EDIT: I forgot a few games in that list, it's now updated.
