No FF on Xbox 360; No FFVII Remake... yet.

The latest news on the Final Fantasy series:

- Final Fantasy XIII will NOT be making its merry way on to the Xbox 360.
- Final Fantasy on the Xbox 360 is "a blank page".

- An FFVII remake is NOT in the works.
- However, many of the people working at Squenix would love to see one, and they know the fans would love to see one, so it's not completely out of the question.

I'd be interested in a remake, but then I've heard they won't do one ever. Confusing shite.

Well all is not lost. They're not making one now, and haven't got plans to, but they're not saying they'll never make one:

But, as usual, all isn't necessarily lost. Yoshinori Kitase, overall director of the FFVII series, followed up with, "However, when we ask the staff who are making FFXIII why they entered the company, there are many people who say, 'I'm an FFVII fan, I also want to do a remake.'" To this, Nomura added, "We of course know ourselves what the fans want so we'd like to continue thinking up a variety of things. As long as there are people who want to make it and people who are waiting for it, we don't want to proclaim 'the end.'"

Bah. FF VII was overrated.

Overrated, yes, but it has great potential for improvement with a remake. As the first 3D FF game, mistakes were made that were corrected later in the series; a FFVII remake for PS3 would be the most improvement without changing the feel.

As always after an official comment, there are new rumours going around the net.

This time, it's that Squenix's big, surprise announcement of the last game for their 20th Anniversary will be a remake of FFVII - all of these comments saying that it won't happen are being said just to confuse people.

You've got to admire the stubborness of some people, don'tcha?
