They said it would take a very, very long time (up to 10 or so) to remake the entirety of FFVII to PS3 standard (FFXIII graphics for example) as they don't have the original staff nor enough staff for that project.

Plus FFVII would have to be rewritten and retranslated and gamers these days hate to read, so think of all of the conversations, then slap onto how it all has to be voice acted. Plus they would have to actually extend and finish the game and even change mechanics because VII is pretty old school RPG that won't fly with today's gamers.

So it was less of a "shut up" and more "only if we REALLY want to dedicate all time and money to it", as XIV is pretty much their priority FF game atm.

Btw, FFXIII was originally a PS2 game, thus why it took so long, so it was redone at least twice but it would have taken awhile regardless, but not as long as it did take.
