Honestly, I think is still considered modern for a remake. I'd like to see a remake of ff9 instead.

Yep, 8 and 9 could really use a refresher, 13... Didn't they already release a graphics updated version?
I don't think so? The PC version has some fantastic mods though, I recently did a run with 4k cutscenes and high res textures, looked pretty great.
Oh I might be remembering a mod. I really would like to see a 1:1 remake of 8 though, maybe with the weird scaling difficulty fixed, but I really liked that one
That would be wild, and I would love it. While I think you should probably remake games that had potential but didn't execute well, I think the financial team might shoot somebody.
It's actually one of the best implementations of difficulty scaling I've seen in a video game. The only issue is that the game doesn't tell you that enemies scale.
The only thing I would change is how drawing magic works, and I have my own idea of what would work best for that.
Best is definitely subjective, I personally didn't like it, it was divisive for sure
I think scaling in general is not well received by gamers. But VIII let's you overpower enemies through the Junction system, as one normally would through leveling.
Most other scaling games I've played really just tried to make it difficult to overpower enemies through preparation. At its core, that's what I hate about scaling in general and VIII was able to avoid that.
Even without any mods it’s still aging pretty well on the graphics front. I don’t think much needs to be done graphically, higher res textures could be a nice improvement.
Agreed, while the game has some problems it still artistically looks great.
I replayed them not long ago, the graphics hold up pretty well.
I agree. What about a remaster?
stop fucking remaking things and make new stuff!
Seems too recent for a remake. I also don't think it was popular enough, especially the sequels. Maybe a modest HD remaster on PS6.
How about a something like what they did with Crisis Core?
It'd be cool, but I still think it's too soon. Crisis Core was originally a handheld game, so there was a bigger leap in technology involved. 13 looked amazing for its time, on a much more powerful platform, so there's not as much room for improvement. And even so, Crisis Core never would have happened if not for tying in with FF7 Remake.
im only playing it for the first time but im loving it. id love a remake or even just a movie or tv series around it!
I recently replayed it for the first time in years and I loved it as well. I think it’s aged really well and still stands strong narratively.
Honestly never thought about a movie/tv series for it. Could be interesting, though I’m not sure I’d want something that follows the main cast from the game.
it has a very matrix-y feel, sure, but the plot could hold up very nicely as a series. also the battle system was pretty good albeit much different and might do well with a remake/rebirth style update
also i just think lightning is so amazing (no spoilers; i've only just started it on my steam deck)
I would want final fantasy 3. I honestly do only care about fantasy medieval Final Fantasy title. But I understand that I'm not target audience.
An all-in-one package with all DLC would be great. It would be less of a remaster and more of a re-release.
I like their games and I want them to continue making more, so they need to make things that are profitable. So port FFXVI to PC and Xbox even though I have beaten it already, make all of the FFVII content even though I don't even like VII, make a mobile game that I won't play.
I'd be down for a remaster. I really enjoyed the ff xiii trilogy.
If by remake you mean throw out the plot and characters and redo the whole thing. Was not a fan of that game at all. The battle system was weird but OK.
I’ll put you down as a “no” for a remake or remaster then.
I think they stole the whole damn combat system including specific break timings and combos from Xenosaga, so I'd like them to remake those three games first.
How would you prefer the combat system to be instead if they were to remake it?
The system is fine, Xenosaga just did it first and deserves love first as a result!
