Imagine if you would, Midgar is taken care of...what next?
Actually, they've made a render of a quick fly-over of Midgar, if they'd want to incorporate that into a game, they'd have to create models of the internals (streets and whatnot), interiors, slums, and spend quite some more time on texturing and details. I don't remember much of that tech demo, but I doubt they've spent enough time on the exteriors to warrant incorporation into a game.
And that's just one location, there's over nine thousand more. Now granted, Midgar plays a big role in the game (and I had the feeling I already completed a whole game by the time I came out of that area, and then thought 'zomfg, that was only the beginning'

Been a couple of years though mind you.
Even so, think about it, they redid Midgar's model for Advent children, though neither you nor I could confirm the fact if they ported the model and revamped it
But there's hundreds of different reasons, so they or may not even have started. Deep down with the hidden messages, I think there is more to expect
