Last Friday, a GamerNode article appeared about a sliver of hope that a next-gen Final Fantasy VII would surface. The people have spoken! Over the weekend, more than 20,000 fans signed a petition, letting Square-Enix know "we want some mo’!"

"Thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX Customer Support,
We hope this letter answers your questions.
Our parent company, SQUARE ENIX of Japan, has no current plans to create a sequel or remake to that particular title at this time. This is not to say that it will never happen, it’s just that their development teams are currently focusing on numerous other projects.
We hope this information has been of assistance.
Thanks,
Neil- SQUARE ENIX Customer Support"
NO Neil, thank you. Although this letter is pretty much a big fat no, it does leave the door open. Neil cleverly uses clauses like, "no current plans," "This is not to say it will never happen," or "we’re replacing Cloud Strife, with Kelly Ng" to keep us guessing.
