Fans of one of the most popular video games, "Final Fantasy 7," were thrilled when Square Enix unveiled at the E3 2015 its plans to remake FF7. However, that excitement soon turned to worry when the developer failed to provide an update on the game during last month's E3. Is the "Final Fantasy 7" remake still in development or has Square Enix decided to cancel this?
Game director Yoshinori Kitase last updated fans about the "Final Fantasy 7" remake in a blog post on Square Enix's official site in December. He explained what gamers can expect from FF7, citing some of the facets that will set the "Final Fantasy 7" remake apart from its original version, which was first released in 1997. Specifically, this reinvented game will come in three installments.
