This looks awesome and I would love to see it completed one day,but I know not to expect anything.That is because its gonna a lot of work plus Square Enix is very protective and depending on where your from the copyright law can be very strict like here the US.
The DMCA is joke it allows company's to shut something down because the hold the IP even though they have done nothing with nor plan to and in even worse in my opinion considering SE is they have done stuff with it they just to plan on it leaving Japan.They shut down every project to remake Chrono Trigger even though that is in IP they haven't touched since 1999 with still good but all very poor sequel Chrono Cross.Chrono Cross is kind like Invisible War,good game in its own right but leaves a lot be desired when in the shadow of its predecessor,not to mention its treatment of the Dragon Quest Fan Base which gone from good to bad to terrible to back to good lets see how long that will last.
I hope they don't shut down the projects trying to turn the Steam version of Final Fantasy V and VI into the remakes we should have gotten of those games in the first place,that's if the people doing them don't quit first. This project looks awesome but our broken IP law will probably kill.My rule of thumb being if don't plan on using then you don't get to complain about modders and hobbyists doing what you won't especially if they ain't profiting off of it.
I really have a love/hate relationship with Square they make or have made or own the rights to a lot of my favorite games of all time but they also can be real dicks to their fan bases especially where their less popular series or older works are concerned.Like if like anything FF pre VII Square seems to hate you.
It doesn't matter what you think, they've paid money to own the IP, it's their's, they can do what they want with it.
Whether that means they use it or just sit on it, your opinion matters not and is not justification of infringing on said Intellectual property.
Don't get me wrong, I hate SE and hope they crash and burn so someone else can pick up the Thief IP and do something with it.

A fan remake of Tomb Raider 2 with the Unreal Engine:

And it's no problem here -> without the original game files of TR2!!! Why?!
I'd grab that while you can. I imagine it's going to be C&D'd within short order.

No, it's officially approved by Eidos Montreal / C&D!
