You're free to wait fifteen years to play it if you feel like it, but--as has been stated numerous times already--the plan is currently for FF7R to coincide with FF7's 20th anniversary in 2017.

I'll be glad when the current project is done. There's nothing fabula about Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy games.

I'm aware. Doesn't change the fact that it's not a particularly apt one at the moment.

It's perfectly apt, how long have we been waiting for Versus XIII, which is now XV?
Just trying to liven up the mood.
@KantoPkmnMaster: I see what you did there.

My sense of humour could use some serious work anyway, so fair enough.

I'm more susceptible to offensive humor myself. The best humor is that which takes no prisoners.
On a FF related note however, what are the thoughts on the other Final Fantasy game that was announced? Will you actually play it?
Of course this would be the go-to game in case of an emergency, but I don't think that is why they're making it. They likely had plans for it way back in pre-PS3 days and like FFXV decided to move it to PS4, though likely didn't start producing it for PS3 in contrast to Versus XIII. Square Enix is doing very well financially now, particularly with the success of XIV, so the way I see it FFVIIR allows them to gain reputation in succession to FFXIV:ARR and with that reputation allow to widen their financial and creative scope for future games.
A 3D remake of VI would be awesome~
Not saying they're the same teams, although if we are to be technical the directors were the same for quite a while there.
The average main title FF game since FFX takes about 7 years to make though.

I think this was a safe bet too. While I do feel the tech demo they made of the game for the PS3 really was all it was intended to do, one can't help but imagine they were testing the waters for how strong interest in a remake would really be. And, if the intention was really only to make a graphical/audio update to the existing version, than I think the PS3 would have been a better choice, especially now knowing how much of a jrpg workhorse the console turned out to be.
But yeah it doesn't feel like an emergency button type situation to me, which is why I'm actually fairly excited for it. If the game is truly being done for the sake of the 20th anniversary, it reassures me a bit that the game won't deviate too much from areas that were already proven to be golden.
Platinum fan.

So, I heard That the remake of FFVII will have a different battle system. Not the ATB bar. I've only played V, VII, VIII, and IX so far so I don't know how Final Fantasy is beyond the ATB bar yet. Some fans are really happy it might be gone, others are raging about it possibly being gone. The rumor is it's going to be something like Advent Children. I didn't grow up with VII, nor is it my favorite FF that I have played (but it is really good) so to any who have a opinion on the matter, how do you feel about a Advent Children influenced battle system? For me, it doesn't matter but I get why both sides are either happy or mad/sad about it.

Considering AC is a movie, not a game, there's 100% of its "battle system" not affecting FFVIIR.
What AC had however is flashy and acrobatic fight scenes. Fights during motorcycle bike chases against The Three Stooges (exponentially more ambitious than FFVII's escape from Midgar bike chase), acrobatic and aerial tree traversal fight against Wannaberoth, acrobatic and destructible environment fight against Moe, vertical aerial party co-op against Bahamut, and insane animu fight against Sephideux. Taking inspiration from AC would either mean copying KHII high level Critical playstyle, or late game FFXV gameplay (if it's going to retain the fast paced combat it was supposed to have back when it was still vsXIII).
I'd rather it not be turn-based anyway.

BTW, Gamescom is this week (next week?), so expect more new FFXV info and gameplay as was confirmed shortly before E3.

So apparently there may also be a Final Fantasy XII remake in the works if the recent rumors are to be believed.

It's XII HD Remaster, not remake. Verendus from NeoGAF has been right on all of his game leaks so far (except for release dates, there were no KH game(s) on PS4 in 2014).
