Final Fantasy fans out there who have been hoping for a remake of the Final Fantasy VII movie are in for some disappointing news. Square Enix is now claiming that a remake of the film would take an incredibly long time. In fact, remember when producer Yoshinori Kitase said that the development of the remake would take fourteen years at least? As if this estimate wasn’t long enough, Kitase is now claiming that it would take more than twice this time to come up with a remake.

The discussion was held in Korea at the launch of Final Fantasy XIII. Kitase laughingly told the crowd that this was not the first time that the topic of a Final Fantasy VII remake has been brought up. In fact, he has even grown quite weary of the topic already.

Kitase explained that it took his team up to four years to create the quality of the recent Final Fantasy XIII. He said that trying to come up with the same style of quality for the remake of Final Fantasy VII would tale “ten times as long”. So is anyone out there willing to wait for 40 years for a possible remake?

Of course, critics are trying to figure out if Square Enix is really providing a logical timeline or if the company just wants to end the subject once and for all.
