A fan did a half-hearted, not-quite-accurate, somewhat dated-looking "remake" of a bit of Final Fantasy VII using the Unreal Engine, so naturally PSX Extreme's Ben Dutka sees this as UNDENIABLE PROOF that SquareEnix could easily knock out a remake of Final Fantasy VII

My favourite part? This (bold emphasis mine):

This attempt is fantastic; I love it, because it proves that it can’t be that impossible to put a fresh coat of gloss on FFVII, provided there’s a decent team handling the overhaul. Props to the dedicated fan who’s taking a crack at this and oh, Square Enix…?

Pay attention.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
