Final Fantasy and reboots: I have some questions

We don't trust them at all.
But they can't do that much wrong with games that are already awesome and defined in a direction.
We all would know what to expect and they can't do funny things with it.

SquareEnix or rather Wada is on the trip that he wants the Final Fantasy Main series to appeal to the Call of Duty Community.He himself said this.He is on the same drugtrip like Capcom is with Resident Evil but there it at least makes "somehow" sense cause of Guns and stuff.
Final Fantasy doesn't but he is so hungry for those 25 Million people who buy CoD every year.

As long as this doesn't change we will NEVER EVER see another good NEW Final Fantasy MainSeries Game made for HD Consoles.
Handheld FF Games are something different cause they are usually made by other teams made for a complete different audience.Same goes for the Team Nomura that is completely focused on the Community that made them big.But those are somehow right now all Spinoff teams who get somehow interrupted the whole time.

Wada ; You want to make the perfect Final Fantasy Game for the PS3 everyone is wishing for little Mr.Nomura?Muahahaha no!You take ALL your Teammembers and fix a completely unneded MMORPG!In the meantime we make Final "AssaCreed" Fantasy Lightning Returns...AGAIN!

But with a Remake he doesn't have the space to play around.
Screw a Remake of Final Fantasy 7 up in the current state everyone is looking at SquareEnix and i can assure some angry fans will burn down the headquarters.They can't do it wrong.So it will be a good game we all know with insane graphics.

But that's just it, though.

Wada's been saying lots of things. On top of wanting that sweet, sweet Activision money, other comments I've heard suggest he doesn't believe in traditional RPGs as money makers, and that SE has to risk pissing off core fans to keep FF viable. Hence his saying that he wants to see a game BETTER than FFVII before they consider a full remake. He knows that people would sacrifice their first borns for a remake with new graphics, but if he's just leading people on to keep them hopeful he's not doing a good job.

A full on remake would be expensive as hell, and Wada clearly pines for the massive COD crowd. For a project that big, do you really think he won't make any effort to reel them in? Assuming they do it at all.

Throughout this generation, I've seen lots of shit talk and divisiveness over SE's handling of it's flagship franchise. In particular, I've seen many demands for a remake of Final Fantasy VII from people who've hated the company's recent work. I can't attest to that, seeing as I haven't touched any mainline FF games since 10 (one of my favorite games ever). But there is one thing that does bug me: why do so many people who hate SE's handling of the FF franchise trust them to do a GOOD remake? 

In light of this issue, I pose some questions:

Do YOU want a remake of any old Final Fantasy games? Why or why not?
If you want a remake, do you think they can do the original game justice? If so, do you think Square WILL pull it off without screwing up anything big?

Let me know in the comments.

Final Fantasy IV (for both the NDS and the PSP) were done well - visual wise its debatable but in terms of how they improved it from the original SNES yes it was worth it.

FFIII was great as well.

FFI and FFII done well as well. 

FFTactics War of the Lions was fantastic. 

All the remakes they made this gen far outdone their original games....in terms of quality imo.

Also really shouldnt compare a old version of the game to the newer version or at least I dont. I can still play FFIV on SNES even though I played the NDS, GBA and PSP versions.

I actually haven't played any of the older FF games. I've seen them on PSN...I need to give them a shot.

And I'm 100% sure people would compare a FFVII remake with a fine tooth comb. That's another reason they don't want to do it--on top of costs, they've gotten enough flak for new games in the series that don't come with such baggage.
