[EDIT: eh, nvm]Ahaha, why? You're upset that I gave a realistic answer regarding a developer that took 12 (seven, depending on how you look at it) years to release a single game?
News flash: I'm a huge fan of both old-school Square Soft and modern Square Enix, and I'm probably more forgiving of their development tomfoolery than the vast majority of folks on this board. All my gaming time is going to Kingdom Hearts III right now and I'm super excited for Final Fantasy VII Remake -- but that doesn't mean I'm willing to put happy-time blinders on like some fans and pretend Square Enix is likely to release or give us a significant update on its development anytime soon.
If we get a major news dump tomorrow? GREAT. I'd love to be wrong, and I'll happily admit it if I am, but I think you'd have to be drinking deeply of the Midgar Kool-aid to expect anything big soon.
Was I being slightly snarky when I said tomorrow next year? Yes. I obviously do think we'll get some kind of news and updates by then. But if a tiny amount of entirely good-natured, historically appropriate snarkiness that wasn't even aimed at you but a major corporation is all it takes for you to get so riled up on a message board that you're calling for someone to be banned over it, perhaps a significant reshuffling of your priorities is in order. It's just a video game, dude.
Let the mods mod and move on.
It's absolutely not unrealistic to expect big news on it this year. Since last year Nomura and Kitase have stated multiple times now that after KH3 is out FFVIIR will be their next priority marketing-wise and the other week they clearly hinted at it finally being shown off again this year when asked about their plans for 2019 (all quotes literally in the OP):
Nomura:
Keyword: 7
Thoughts: Various presentations to be released.
Kitase:
Keyword: Long-awaited!
Thoughts: Development on Final Fantasy 7 Remake is progressing smoothly! I would like to try hard to meet the expectations of fans.

When asked about Final Fantasy VII Remake during a recent interview, director Tetsuya Nomura said he acknowledges that there's been some fake news [Likely about the rumored 2023 release window] and fans may feel uneasy about it but he said the development is going favorably and solidifying.
However, Nomura said that the lack of new information on Final Fantasy VII Remake has nothing to do with its development Status. According to the director, the reason for this is because Square Enix is prioritizing the release of other titles, including Kingdom Hearts III.
Square Enix is currently looking ahead for a possible timing to release new information on Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Nomura asked fans to wait a little while longer. Kingdom Hearts III releases in January 25-29, 2019, so hopefully we'll get a more steady flow of news on the game after its release.
