But, over the last 9 years, instead of making the one game that everyone constantly begs for, funnels rumors for, etc. they make a bunch of games we don't want. Nobody asked for a FFX remaster. Nobody asked for a FFXII remaster. After the debacle of FFXIII, nobody asked for XIII-2 or Lightning Returns. How hard would it really be to redo VII? The story is already in place, the battle system is in place, etc. They'd just have to build the character models and environments. Is that really that hard? Harder than making a new freakin game engine for a game that's 8 years into development hell (Final Fantasy Versu....I mean Final Fantasy XV)? |
I'm gonna guess really hard. Not for technical issues mind you, but because some parts of the game would not translate well to a FFXIII-like visual. At all. Case in point: cross-dressing Cloud.
It's a lose-lose situation at this point. If they do it, they'll have to change it, causing a riot on the, frankly, rather sensitive/annoying/fractured FF fanbase. If they keep it untouched, some parts will just make me cringe to death.

Well... that's just how it works with this series really. You love, say, FFXII - the next person hates it for the very same reason you love it. Like I said, it's extremely fractured.
Also: I strongly disagree with these claims that FFXII's battle system is drastically different than the rest of the series. You attack, you wait for the ATB bar to fill up again, you attack again. What's the difference really? FFX is far more different really.
