Give me VIII please. I want to see all of that angst in glorious 4k.

i love ff9 but i think part of what made ff9 so good was the art style. as much as i like remake and rebirth, i hope a ff9 remake won't be in the same style. any ff9 remake has to be the same chibi style art

honestly, i'd much rather a remake/rebirth style remake of ff8 first since it would work so much better.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you seen Memoria Project? That did an incredible job of updating the first few areas of the game but keeping the art style intact.

I'm in full agreement that IX shouldn't get the FF7R treatment. It would lose all of its charm.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I did! I was so sad it was just a proof of concept. Echo S also has a voiced demo out too which is amazing

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe we can at least hope that Square is influenced by the positive reception to those projects, and goes for a lighter touch on changes than they did with FF7!

Good, come back.

Hope that fantasy will be final 2 (too)

Good point, haven't played 7 remake yet, but seeing how 6 is made with 20 pixels, and it has the potential for such amazing scenes and cc areas........

[–] Patch@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

FFIX is my favourite FF game (yeah, fight me on it), which means this news is either very good or very bad depending on how the remake ends up.

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Are there 9 haters? It wasn't my favourite but it's very good and I don't think it's a bad favourite at all.

Was a big fan of Secret of Mana (1 and 2), Secret of Evermore and different Zelda games. I tried to force me into playing FF, because it looked promising, but I can't stand the role-play battle mechanics.

[–] shrodes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

So you don’t like turn based games? Unless I’m misunderstanding

You might like FF7 Remake, the combat is sort of a hybrid where it’s mostly realtime but you can give commands via a turn menu mid combat too

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

try ffx for a final fantasy divergent from the super nintendo style turn by turn play.

[–] Geodad@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's entirely possible that ot could be referring to the current Dawntrail content.

[–] DozensOfDonner@mander.xyz -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

9? Why 9? 6 is the obvious candidate for a remake, innit?

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly, I can't imagine square not fucking up 6. 9 seems easier to adapt.

I'm rather have an octopath style remake of 6 than a FFVII remake one.
