Julien Merceron, the company's technology director, has said to FINAL FANTASY DREAM that : " Luminous Engine will be used for a large range of games as Kingdom Hearts III and next Thi4f, but we still have a lot of work to do".
He said about the Agni's Philosophy Tech Demo : "We really wanted it to be our own view. We are not trying to sell Sony or Microsoft's view, and by the way, we are not aware of it. When we published this video, we wanted it to be a message from Square Enix, more than a message from Sony or Microsoft."
Finally about FF VII he said : "Final Fantasy VII was one of my most beautiful experiences. That said, the other titles of the series are also wonderful. Obviously, as a player, I would really like a remake for FFVII. I give my opinion concerning the technology used and I let them take their decisions. But as a player, as a fan, yes, I would like a remake."

But the old Square Enix (or should i say Squaresoft), wouldnt put all their efforts into graphics.
Square Enix, when will you learn graphics alone dont make a game?
Your most recent FF's had poor gameplay and story, fix those things for gods sake !
So we have to increase the graphics and to don't forget fix the gameplay aswell
FF VII Remake ? I'm ok for that !
KH Stories is true, look the interview.
Anyone read "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team"? Excellent read.
But Julien Merceron seems different, clear in his way to think, a really good guy I think.
Julien Merceron is the sexiest guy I never saw ! :)
Why didn't they first test it on one of their other franchises and base future decision on fan reaction.
Guess arrogance just took over.
Final Fantasy is the name they use to sell games. If they were to drop the name they would likely lose realistically a million in sales just due to the loss of brand recognition.
I agree that they need to pursue more games like The World Ends With You, but I am fine if those games fall under the umbrella of the Final Fantasy title.
What? no talk about epic bringing gears to the ps3? Even in that article it said "it's never gonna happen". Why stop there? Hey I want blue dragon on the ps3. Let me guess, Ben doesn't like the game much so he doesn't bring it up.
By the way ff7 wasn't all that. Geez, the load times had more lag than Bath and Body Works has oils and lotions. Random battles going from point a to point b. Read the review of the former xplay on g4 host says about it.
Again, let's talk about a game that's in the "what if" phase that may take 4 to 5 years to make. How many "what if this game gets a sequel or remade" topics are you gonna make?
IGN? The company who dissed the ps vita on the cost of the handheld and their high cost of the gigabyte memory cards. And they had the nerve to compare the vita to the 360.
