    Hey! This is unfair! I submitted an article on this few hours ago and it was never approved. How is Avalith's one selected?

    Sounds like an April Fools joke to me, but we'll see...

    The fact that it's FFVII is all the proof I need to tell me it's an April Fools joke.

    How can the FFVII remake be too good to be true? It makes sense because they've already made up to FFVI including FFT (which has Cloud, mind you). Then they butter us with Crisis Core, what's next? It's inevitable.

      There are too many things in the way for a remake right now. Ask again in 2011.

        Like what? FFXIII is just about done, they have multiple teams in SE anyways. Who cares if it's April Fool's?

          Even if they're close to finishing, the game won't be seeing light until at least the fall. On top of that, Nomura is still planning to hit up the Kingdom Hearts franchise again. So that's another 2-3 years there.

          Yeah, USA won't likely see FFXIII until the end of the year or early next year. Still, FFVII is their biggest FF game yet, they know it. They know that fans want a remake, and regardless of what other franchises they are doing...as mentioned there are many teams at the SquareEnix company.

          Think about it, remakes (the latest being FFIV for the DS), new FF's like FFXIII, prequel games such as Crisis Core, mobile games underway, a new Crystal Chronicles game...with all that in mind, how do we know if they aren't already in production with an FFVII remake? They know that they'll make a lot of money for it...I'm sure they are just waiting until next year or so after FFXIII is released to actually cash in on this remake.

    Awwww, the poor FF VII fanboys have their hopes up now V_V

    How mean...However, it IS April 1st. At least some of them should realize it isn't true >_>

    Would be nice if it was true though. I never finished th PS1 version.

    Nice touch, to have the source being a place that is inaccessible without login detals

    Did you believe Square merged with Enix then? That was on the very same day 5 years ago.

    The confusion of April Fools makes for a great Internet web browsing experience.
