06/17/2006: "More Remake Denials, Site Updates"

Following up on the previous news story, Square Enix has recently issued the following statement: "We have confirmed that Final Fantasy XIII is in development, but have NOT confirmed a FF7 remake at any time. The remake has been a popular subject for rumors, but that's all they are. Obviously the Best Buy listing was made in error." (source: GamesAreFun.com)

And now... the site updates. First off, two new Dirge of Cerberus images are up in DC Images & Media-- namely, character designs for Shalua Lui and Yuffie. The Name Origins and Links pages have been updated, and the FFVII Discography now features an English translation of "One Winged Angel", supplied by our own Reno. Finally, two new pieces of Vincent fanart by Wyna Hiros are now available.

They haven't "confirmed it"? Why can't they just say they're not making one? Sounds like some corporate doublespeak to me...

Stock holders like the idea that a much-anticipated product such as an FF7 remake is potentially in the works, so even if such a project is nonexistant it would still be in Square's best interest to be ambiguous about it.
