Of course, with the FF10 Remasters done and dusted, it's inevitable fans start looking to other entries that could receive the HD treatment. Back in 2010, Kitase said the FF7 remake teased (inadvertently?) by that PS3 tech demo from E3 2005 was an "unrealistic" prospect. Four years and one set of remasters on, has his thinking changed at all?
"I still think it's going to be a very challenging task," Kitase said, before reiterating that remastering the PS2 games was a big enough challenge, and that the gap between today's tech and the PS1 is a lot wider.
"I can tell you personally I would love to do it," he said. "But before I decide to do anything of that kind, I would have to bring my dedication and motivation levels to the maximal high. It's not the kind of project I can start casually working on, it's a really serious project. It would be nice if I got the opportunity to do that in the future, but at the moment no plans."
