Nostalgia is the main selling point of remakes though. That is the whole purpose of them, to recapture the audience that originally loved them, of course they want to get new people in to it as well but those original fans are the main audience. Anybody else isn't going to give a toss about a remake since they won't care about the original, to them it is no different from a brand new game so again... if the intent is to get those people why not just ya know make a brand new game for them. Like FFXV, that's for those people, as will XVI and so on and so forth, bringing back the classics should be for people that liked the classics. |
Heres a secret - In movies, comics and video games. Remasters, reimagings, reboots and remakes are primarily made to gather NEW fans. They know older fans will be their regardless of choices made, example: STAR WARS, to help financial.
Choices on FF7 are made to appeal to modern gamer sensabilities, not to stroke your dick. The fact that its FF7 is enough dick stroking for older fans.
