It's a money thing. They've been remaking FF games with better graphics for a couple years now but they had been targeting the earlier games that didn't get as wide of a release or had the same presence. FF7 would be a more expensive remake than a game like FF3 or FF4 and you're going to need capital for that. SE was in a bad way for cash after the FF14 fiasco but Yoshida managed to turn that around with Realm Reborn and with Heavensward it looks like SE is going to have a reliable cash flow for a good amount of time. That's going to make a higher cost/risk remake like FF7 a lot easier to pursue.

Still, I wish FF6 would get a remake.

They knew about the effects of stress on soldiers who flew on combat missions into a combat zone and returned to a safe place after each mission. There's plenty of evidence for this if you look psychological assessments of the US Eight Air Force back in WW2. It looks like the lesson they drew from those experiences was that it was the exposure to combat that was the culprit and not necessarily stresses caused by participating in combat.

What needs to be identified is whether the primary contributor to stress is being able to go home each day or simply being able to go to safety after the mission. If it's the latter, which I'd be more inclined to suspect, then restricting the guys to base isn't going to help the problem and in fact may make the problem worse since the comforts they were once provided are no longer available.

You might get a bit of sympathy if you told us which highly enlightened nation your father lives in.

V2 targets were Belgium, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, and even a few in Germany. The latter three nations suffered together just over 100 V2s while the former two suffered an average of 1,500 each. We can safely assume the Germans never invaded Germany and likewise we know the Germans never invaded the United Kingdom. We also know that allied bombing was never directed at the United Kingdom. That would make Belgium the likely target but over 95% of the V2s fired at Belgium were targeted at Antwerp after the allies had occupied it. Additionally, I don't recall there being massive destruction from the invasion by the Germans.
