If they could remake 8's broken ass battle system I'd love to dive back into that world. I enjoyed the more romantic and militaristic themes, the soundtrack and really the whole experience in general. Just the battle system was so baffling terrible.

I loved it and the grind, personally.

 

[Oddspeak]

I'm willing to believe that they're being "discussed," because even Square themselves said they're open to the idea. But currently "in development?" I don't know about that.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

No chance

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

I just want them to announce Final Fantasy XVI.

No more remakes please!

 

[bitbydeath]

Found the other thread by the same user that was being referred.

I loved it and the grind, personally.

I didn't really mind it the first time through, but whenever I tried to revisit the game it was always just a big impediment for me. It's still one of my favorite entries despite that. And that soundtrack! Best in the series and super underrated.

 

[FStubbs]

EH, here's a novel idea. How about 5 and 6? We skipped over those in the remake train.

 

[Celcius]

I don't believe this. Remaking FF7 is a huge undertaking... plus they haven't even finished it yet. Plus, hopefully we get a ff16 next gen. I don't see how they have the resources...

 

[Ellery]

Naaaaah no way. No way.

I mean I would prefer if they just remade all Final Fantasy games instead of releasing the rubbish they have been the last 10-15 years.

Maybe. MAYBE if FF7 Remake is super successful they will consider remaking other FF games.

if this counts as a remake...

 

[Life]

Why wouldn't they? Why take a risk creating new characters/plots - when they can reuse the same characters people already love and would pay money for.

It's one of my all time favorite games! Even with the chore of Drawing at specific points of the game, it's still beautiful.

 

[Grinchy]

lol yeah I actually enjoyed the battle system and grinding draws all day, but had problems with the story and its pacing more than anything.

A FF9 remakes is what I'd rather see. Do that, and then do 8.

 

[SentientStone]

Fantastic, 8 was my favourite since it was my first entry in the series.
After 9 I have not completed any subsequent FFs. Give me that emo Squall in PS5 graphics!

 

[Dabaus]

Too good to be true.

 

[Pallas]

I'd love for it to happen but I feel like we are getting ahead of ourselves and as someone else said, we need a V and VI remake at some point.

 

[Shifty1897]

That better not be true. They can't keep doing VI wrong.

 

[sid2vicious]

if this counts as a remake...

That's all it deserves tbh. But don't be salty, I believe that's true for all the other FF, after 7 there's no more need for them, they should focus on XVI and subsequent games.

1. MISCELLANEOUS

Any chance of remakes and/or new entries for Gex, Parasite Eve, or Legacy of Kain?

Yo I forgot about Gex, but I wouldn't mind a new game from that series with the resurgence of platformers lately.

 

[Metnut]

This sounds like BS. If FF7 remake does really well, then they'll focus on parts 2 and 3 of the FF7 remake.

I don't think FF8 was nearly as popular as FF7 and FF9 has aged the best out of the PSX trilogy.

FF6 would be most logical remake candidate but seems a long way off with the rest is the FF7 remake and maybe an FF16 very likely to come first.

 

[cartman414]

That's all it deserves tbh. But don't be salty, I believe that's true for all the other FF, after 7 there's no more need for them, they should focus on XVI and subsequent games.

V deserves it too.

 

[Punished Miku]

I would just rather have new things.

But if they remake them, that's exciting I guess. I like both VIII and IX a lot more than VII, so I'm sure they'd be great.

 

[sid2vicious]

V deserves it too.

You still stalking me? Talk about being butthurt

 

[Leprech]

I dont believe it... my uneducated prediction is next gen will be FF7R 3 parts and a new FF numbered.
Still FF9 artstyle in AAA remake could be something truly amazing...

 

[mango drank]

Popularity of the original releases:
FF7 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FF8 >> FF9

I'm enjoying the recent FF8 Remaster, but seeing as how SE put barely any effort into this, I don't see how they'd want to put the time and money into remaking the game completely. Plus, getting all episodes of FF7 Remake out is going to take them like 6-8 years, so how are they going to fit in remakes for both FF8 and FF9?

I wouldn't complain (they'd both be so awesome), but I don't see it happening.

 

[JORMBO]

I'd rather see some new games. Unless they have lost the ability to make a good, new FF game.

I hope the new TR games make some adjustments. I'd rather see more puzzles, big levels and less automated platforming.

if this counts as a remake...

What is this abomination?

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

It's just going to be another multi-part remake like Final Fantasy VII. Probably with more action-orientated battles, updated costumes etc.

I like Final Fantasy IX but I'm not interested in the game being remade. The original is perfectly fine to me anyway.

 

[Tragic Denial]

See ya in 2032

 

[Fret Runner]

I'd be happy to see ff8 be turned into one of their cgi flicks or just a revisit to that world like what Advent Children was for ff7 (but better than AC hopefully)

 

[SakkanartSilentJealousy]

Better remake only 6 and 9 thanks.

But I want FF16.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

No thanks. As much as I'd like a FF9 remake I'd hate how much Squeenix would fuck it up and just make it a reskinned Kingdom Hearts. Not to mention I'm not paying 240 bucks for all 4 "episodes".

 

[demigod]

For the love of God, remake 6 first.

 

[cartman414]

You still stalking me? Talk about being butthurt

You seem to be obsessed yourself lol. I would have responded the same regardless.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Too good to be true, but it's nice to think that just maybe the strong reception to the RE2 remake is having an effect on people and this really is on the table.

Right now FF8 and FF9 with the visuals of the upcoming FF7 sounds amazing, but once squennix finds a way to screw up FF7 I'm sure I'll lose my enthusiasm.

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

I love FF8, way more than most do, and way more than FF9. And FF6 is the best so I hope one day we get that one too. I think an FF6 remake, if done well would be one of the greatest games ever created.

 

[sid2vicious]

You seem to be obsessed yourself lol. I would have responded the same regardless.

Ever since I owned you, you been following me around. Salty much?

EDIT: Just to further prove this point, you also didn't need to quote me to say "V deserves it too.".

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

A remake of 8 seems like a logical next step, but a remake of 9 is a bit surprising (in a good way though)

 

[mortal]

Christ, are we ever getting FF XVI?

I hope this is not true just because I'd much rather have entirely NEW stories and worlds to explore. The more Square Enix invests in nostalgia, the less I like this series going forward.

 

[KiNeMz]

early in development? Cxould mean anything right? Could of been a pitch in future projects meeting. Now considered early in development. Maybe its confirmed its considered.

 

[JimboJones]

Maybe he means Final Fantasy VII Part 8 and 9

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Fuck off.

VIII is the pleb filter and IX is the magnum opus of Sakaguchi's that represents everything the franchise has accumulated up to at that point. Neither need to be touched. Just keep milking VII for all its worth so you can get the money and go like a Kickstarter cash grab.

 

[Author]

They will need like 6 years to finish the FF VII remakes, and also have to develop FF XVI.

This makes no sense.

 

[Silent Duck]

They will need like 6 years to finish the FF VII remakes, and also have to develop FF XVI.

This makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense.
Square Enix can farm out FF 8 and 9 remakes to the makers of the critically acclaimed Rambo video game as they concentrate on FF7 parts 2 and 3 themselves. Easy peasy.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I probably won't be alive by the time FF VIII Remake is released let alone IX.

BTW isn't VII Remake going to be released in episodes/chapters/whatever? So the VII Remake were getting is only "part 1" so far or did that change and we're getting the full game?

Classic IknowyouarebutwhatamI?

I saw you playing defensive in that other thread. Didn't interact, just watched.

 

[Ryu Kaiba]

It makes sense please be true

 

[Bkdk]

Great news! Hopefully 6 get remake first before 8 though. I do agree that remaking past FFs with more side content, dungeons and probably some extra branching of storylines and extra endings the best way to go for the series. FF16 is simply too risky now and wouldn't mind it skip the whole next gen for more remakes. Just can't think of any new setting they could go that can top the past FF titles.

 

[Virex]

Nothing broken about the junction system.

 

[LazyParrot]

Next gen will be over by the time the last part of the VII remake is released.
