Even though we reckon it will happen one day in the future (where there's money to be made...) there still seems to be no progress on a remake of Final Fantasy VII. And that's because of the visuals, believe it or not.
In an interview with Ultimania magazine, producer Yoshinori Kitase says that the reason there are no towns in Final Fantasy XIII is because they're tricky to create in HD.
Roughly translated quotes pulled from the mag have FFXIII devs saying, "It is a result of considering HD graphics will be the mainstream. Considering the amount of work to make graphics that deserve HD, it is hard to make towns in the conventional style.
"In the limited period of development time, to convey the the great story that deserves the name of Final Fantasy, and to convey the battles that entertain players enough, we condensed each element.
"It is very hard to make games on PlayStation 3 in the same style as the games in that era had. Making graphics will take enormous time."
