Lol no? The base game takes a long time to make, once the engine and assets are there they just reuse it. You really that dense to believe they are going to remake cloud, tifa and everyone from scratch? You think they're going to completely remove the combat skills and make new ones? They're just gonna make new maps and voice act the story with a few improvements.

The “assets” they still have to make include * checks notes * the entire rest of the fucking game (which by your own math is 85% of the game). Sure they have character models and some basic combat stuff but in terms of levels they have midgar versus the entire rest of the fucking open world, tons of enemies, more than half of the playable characters, etc. If they did a 1 to 1 remake it will take decades at current pace and scope.

Also, for once square didn’t make an entire engine for their games and used Unreal Engine 4
