I’m seeing some discussions on the this in various different places and thought it would be interesting to ask the same question here.
Personally I think there’s some great Quality of Life improvements that can be made but having recently finished playing through XIII earlier in the year (albeit on Steam Deck) I don’t think it has aged all too terribly. Visually it still holds its own and improvements for me would largely sit within battle mechanics, such as allowing the team leader to be swapped when there is a KO, or even remaking Paradigm Shift animations.
I’d love to see more to do on Pulse, and maybe more opportunities for lore discovery by way of NPC interactions. But I’d expect the latter to be story breaking given how it unfolds and direction it takes.
What would you improve or change?
Honestly, I think is still considered modern for a remake. I’d like to see a remake of ff9 instead.
Yep, 8 and 9 could really use a refresher, 13… Didn’t they already release a graphics updated version?
I don’t think so? The PC version has some fantastic mods though, I recently did a run with 4k cutscenes and high res textures, looked pretty great.
Even without any mods it’s still aging pretty well on the graphics front. I don’t think much needs to be done graphically, higher res textures could be a nice improvement.
Oh I might be remembering a mod. I really would like to see a 1:1 remake of 8 though, maybe with the weird scaling difficulty fixed, but I really liked that one
stop fucking remaking things and make new stuff!
im only playing it for the first time but im loving it. id love a remake or even just a movie or tv series around it!
I recently replayed it for the first time in years and I loved it as well. I think it’s aged really well and still stands strong narratively.
Honestly never thought about a movie/tv series for it. Could be interesting, though I’m not sure I’d want something that follows the main cast from the game.
it has a very matrix-y feel, sure, but the plot could hold up very nicely as a series. also the battle system was pretty good albeit much different and might do well with a remake/rebirth style update
also i just think lightning is so amazing (no spoilers; i’ve only just started it on my steam deck)
I would want final fantasy 3. I honestly do only care about fantasy medieval Final Fantasy title. But I understand that I’m not target audience.
Seems too recent for a remake. I also don’t think it was popular enough, especially the sequels. Maybe a modest HD remaster on PS6.
It’d be cool, but I still think it’s too soon. Crisis Core was originally a handheld game, so there was a bigger leap in technology involved. 13 looked amazing for its time, on a much more powerful platform, so there’s not as much room for improvement. And even so, Crisis Core never would have happened if not for tying in with FF7 Remake.
