Can anyone confirm/deny this remake rumor:

[Dashell]

Rumor is that Famitsu announced an FFVII remake
http://www.ff-reunion.net/ff/2010/01/20/sqex_news_104
and
http://www.gamekyo.com/blog_article237725.html

my gut tells me it's fake but I wanted to see if anyone can find out for sure.

 

[Tennyo]

Fake until proven legit, I always say. I'm inclined to believe the former, but then I think I'm just becoming more and more cynical as I get older.

 

[Dashell]

Hmm seems to be just an issue on Cloud, no remake. So the pic is legit, but it's not a remake.

Okay sorry
Cloud special, no remake.

 

[Tennyo]

Who told you that?

 

[Dashell]

Someone on another forum said that.

Oh I see.

So why is Famitsu doing an article on Cloud? There's nothing special going on, is there?

He's finally coming out of the closet

 

[Tennyo]

I knew it!

 

[Ghost X]

I can't read french or japanese, so its pointless me bothering to make sense of it all .

No, Quexinos, SHE'S finally coming out of the closet.

It's some article/feature about popular characters to commemorate the magazine's 1100th issue.

 

[Tennyo]

And they had to use the worst picture of Cloud ever?

 

[DillyDally]

I didn't catch anything mentioning a remake in that Japanese article. How did this rumor come out of nowhere?

A magazine published a picture of a character from the game/at least mentioned the game somewhere within an article. That's really all it takes.

 

[Tennyo]

Yeah, since most of the people who saw that don't know any Japanese they just assume things. lol

I'm totally going to make a FFVII Remake Rumours site, post a new one everyday.

"I just saw something pink in my poop, I think it's a sign for a FFVII remake!"

 

[Eerie]

LOLZ, the French blog is so fail _o/

The commentaries are win though, no one believes in it LOL XD [it was proven as fake shortly after]

Someone said that the poll in the magazine was about the most popular character, and Cloud won XD And that's about it XD

From that article, which included a message from Nomura. He says they aren't working on a remake right now despite the many rumours, though Cloud might appear in other games, such as in Dissidia.
