Square Enix CEO admits company isn’t making Final Fantasy games that exceed the quality of FFVII By Erren Van Duine on June 26, 2012 at 12:59 AM

Square Enix held their annual shareholders meeting today and Japan, which consisted of a brief Q&A held by CEO Yoichi Wada.

While a good majority of the discussion focused on the economy, Eidos and Dragon Quest X, someone else decided to question the oft-requested Final Fantasy VII remake.

In response to the question, Wada said, “we’ll make a Final Fantasy VII remake once we’ve made a Final Fantasy game that exceeds the quality of FFVII. The company is not making Final Fantasy games that exceed the quality of FFVII. If [we] were to release a 7 remake right now, the FF franchise would be done with.”

Although FFVII is extremely popular, and there were indeed multiple talks surrounding a remake within the company, Wada thinks the Compilation has reached an ending point. He goes on to say that the staff would indeed be happy to work on a Final Fantasy VII remake, however they would of course have to put their entire effort behind it.

No mention of Final Fantasy Versus XIII or Final Fantasy X HD was made at the event.

    Kind of makes me happy they are openly admitting they are slacking off.

    Hopefully going forward they will put more effort into their games.

    Good. No need to waste time with a remake. Been a pretty stupid demand for a past while now. >_>
