Fair play, that does come very close, though you can only control 1 character, which isn't what I call old-fashioned. But it's probably the closest I reckon

I take it you meant a strictly turn-based RPG a la Dragon Quest or FF I to X?

Yeah, that's what I really want

Final Fantasy X is quite possibly my favourite game of all time and I've really enjoyed going back through the old FFs before it as well

But I just have to accept that it is a dying breed of games I feel

Square, stop remastering/remaking every Final Fantasy except the one we want *ahem*VII*ahem*. I believe one of the higher ups said that they'd do it if it was a smart financial move. It's been almost 10 years since the tech demo was shown and we're still begging for it. Wtf more do they want?


HD remastering FFX and FFXII is a hell of a lot easier than HD remastering FF7 would be. With the PS2 games, all that's really needed is to pretty up the textures and backgrounds. Remastering FF7 in HD, unless you just wanted something that looked like the Eidos-made PC version of FF7 that's already on Steam, would be basically developing a completely new game from the ground up.

Well, they already had the assets made for it, as shown by the tech demo. 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)? 



What do FF fans think about FFXII ? Serious question.



Yeah...don't really care about this that much. I'd much prefer a remake of FFVII...and I really mean remade...from the ground up. Doesn't seem too arduous a task, given the fact that it would sell like crazy. I've heard lame excuses about how much it would cost and I think they're just deflections. Seriously, with the amount of cash they've spent on everything else, just make this game already. Then use that engine to remake VIII and IX.

They should've released it with FFX/X-2 right away.

I mean let's not be stupid, my Macbook can emulate FFXII in HD, what is so complicated about making a fixed master of FFXII for PS3 ?

FFX/X-2 was a rip-off for these exact reasons.

Wind Waker looks better on my PC than on Wii U, so I understand your point.

But your point won't be appreciated here ;)

After the letdown that was FFX HD - waiting for 3 years for a half asz port with Tidus and Yuna freaks of nature look with eyeballs popping out, loading screens before everything everywhere, 85% of textures not touched, for 40 usd - thx but no thx.


Haven't heard these sort of complaints before. I thought FFX HD was considered good.

Misread that title as XIII for a moment

XII could be interesting. It is my most hated Final Fantasy game but I'd be willing to give it another try if they did a remake. Although if they do announce it this E3 it won't release for a loooong time.


But you liked XIII ?

It is without a shadow of a doubt the most disappointing and worst FF. This is universally accepted. Run forward and press A. For 10 hours. Yay. Not.



I would love that to happen on Xbox One (at least). This is one of the very rare FF game I liked.
The gambit system was so fun to use and optimize :)



This is great news to me. I would be really excited if this happened. I absolutely loved FF12 with it's huge world, yah the story wasn't on par as other titles but I absolutely loved the battle system and the exploration. Hopefully, if this turns out to be true they decide to use the International version of the game which seems to have fixed a lot of problems in the original.

It is a lot different from the previous Final Fantasies in terms of the battle system. The game mechanics were still good; it's just that they are drastically different from the traditional Final Fantasy. The graphics at that time were really good and I was very satisfied with the voice acting. The FFX voice acting was shaky at times. However, the story and character development were below average. Story tended to meander and there was not definitive main character. Throughout the game, the role of "main character" switched around multiple times.
