Re: NO!

I am aware, yes. And the fact is, there are far, far more complicated games than Final Fantasy VII out there. Final Fantasy VII is just not that complex of a game today, it's really not. When you talk about things like event triggers, I wonder how many modern RPGs you've played, because FFVII is a 90's game and is hardly anything special in regards to event trigger complexity. Designing an open world and cities is a lot of work, but it's done by many games these days. Yes, they are building a game from the ground up because they're adamant that remaking it from scratch is what they want to do, so it's not really different than any other company that's made numerous complex, large-scale games. Remaking things from scratch is called making an original game. That sort of thing still happens these days, if you can believe.

Do I think Square-Enix can do it? They've had awful direction with the Final Fantasy series as a whole since, well, Square-Enix became a thing, so I'm not optimistic. Is it perfectly possible? Yes, other game companies have long been doing it. And Final Fantasy VII is something that they'd put more money into than virtually any other project because they know absolutely that it will sell even if it's garbage.

But in reality, we're probably just going to see a linear, episodic game without an open world that's merely told in independent segments. They aren't going to do what other gaming companies are perfectly capable of doing.

I dunno, I've played FFXIV and it's been brilliant with episodes and an open world. But to each their own.

It's not so much that it's complex, either, so much as there's just so much of it that they have to do. There's no reusing assets from any of their other games because the only game that uses the engine it's made in is XV. There's not any assets to reuse, and their budget is not actually infinite, contrary to what you believe.
