According to this Quiter article, the current cover of Xbox magazine mentions Final Fantasy VII among a list of the Xbox's most anticipated games, including Halo 2, Doom 3, and Fable(image with enhancement).
Ominous portent of things to come or just another monumental act of American gaming magazine stupidity? You know which one I'm leaning toward.
Don't know (although, yes, I do know which one you're leaning toward)... I did hear something about re-makes of the PSX Final Fantasy games planned for the PS2 (FF7 was one of the big remake titles), but that was years ago and I never heard whether they were definitely doing it or not. I've got no clue whatsoever if the plans to remake the old FF games were true or definite or anything like that, so...
EDIT: I just noticed my whole response was a link... DarkZero, you might want to edit your original post and put a close URL tag at the end of the link...
SUPER EDIT! I guess you fixed it, or something... when I first read the original post, the whole last sentence was a link, so... ehh. Looks like you fixed it. Never mind!

Those remakes were in the planning stages at some point, but have since been cancelled. A few Square bigwigs were quoted as saying that as long as those Final Fantasy games are playable on a currently available system, they won't remake the games, but they will as soon as its format becomes obsolete. In other words, we won't see them until the PS2 is no longer being produced, and we won't see them for many years after that if the PS3 is still backwards compatible with the PS1. If somebody can still buy a retail copy of them and play them on their new Sony console, the games won't be remade.
