That's...really kind of splitting hairs. It went from making a whole new game, to just rereleasing the old game on the Xbox. Like FF7 remake, and the PS4 port of FF7. If they had announced the full remake, and then said they were just going to release the port, that isn't really making good on that earlier claim.

Well from my understanding the original plan was a remake, now its a "re-release" (essentially a simple port).

FF7 is already playable on many devices and easily accessible for a low price. The same can't be said for Phantom Dust, its a less technically dated game, and more people will probably experience it on X1 than ever before. Bottomline, a port of a rare, cult classic is better than nothing.

Yes, origionally they were making a new Phantom Dust. Though I don't really think it would be a remake, because it wasn't supposed to be a new version of the origional game, but a totally new, multiplayer only Phantom Dust game.

And yes, being able to play the game on the Xbox One is good since it was only available on the origional Xbox (and then on the 360 through BC). But that doesn't mean it's a fulfillment of the promise of a new Phantom Dust game.

The new Phantom Dust game was cancelled, and they've decided that they can still use the IP by porting over the old game.
