> Word has it that as well as Final Fantasy X-2 there will be Final
> Fantasy VII-2, a sequel to game number 7.
Here is the translation of the interview where that idea was mentioned.
November 11, 2002 - In an interview with Japan's Dori-Maga (the former Dreamcast Magazine, now turned multi-platform), Square's Yoshinori Kitase made some comments regarding the possibility of a direct sequel to Final Fantasy VII. Kitase has participated in the development of all Final Fantasy games since part five of the series and now heads the company's R&D 1 team which is currently working away at FFX-2.
"A sequel to FFVII?" comments Kitase while laughing. "In truth, there are many who'd like to make such a game, Nomura, who's working on Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, included. Many of the Square staff participated in the development of FFVII, and the memories are strong. Additionally, expressing the world of FFVII using today's technology would certainly be interesting (laughs).
"However, FFVII still has many fans," he continues. "We couldn't make a bad product (laughs)."
Continuing in response to the question of his team's plans for the term beginning April of 2003 (FFX-2 comes out in March), Kitase says, "Our plans are not yet set for the coming term. Whether we'll work on a brand new title or a sequel to a title that we already have I don't know yet, but I'd personally like to make something new."
Its sounds to me as if he was asked directly about a sequel to FF7. In which case I wouldn't hold your breath for this ever coming off. Of course if FFX-2 is a huge success then who knows?
Apologies if I have posted this before.

Lulu by a long shot, but then I got a thing for belts and suspenders.
If anyone says Kimahri or Anima then I know a good counsellor.
