I guess I stand corrected.
It still doesn't change the fact that the range of FFVI's body language is pathetically inferior compared to later games in general, much less Final Fantasies. So I still stand by my defense of Champagne Supernova's reasoning, although I personally don't allow the same things get in the way of which games I play.
Actually I found it much harder to read VII characters' body languages as they weren't as noticeable... I wouldn't call them subtle... mostly just... confusing...
Arrogant people eh?
Well sweet, we interpret art differently. Well oh, we made an important discovery here.
On that note, I have to say that FFVII really fell short of six as far as paper doll emotion. They had great animations and better graphics so they could do more, it just seemed so chopped and forced. Where as size was fluid, at least, it was in the way my brain interprets it. Then I felt that final fantasy VIII was so pretentious in the delivery of its emotion as well. A new animation for everything, that kind of acting belongs on stage, imo.
I liked six. People had their emotions and body language portrait through habitual poses, more like in real life, and thusly portraying a ton more realistic character.
Overall, it is like the graphical approach of six gives you general ideas and leaves room for the imagination. Seven is like watching someone play with dolls, imo. There is a point where you get pulled too far into the moment, and playing can just become exhausting. Which is why I cannot play X.
I wasn't implying that VII's body language was good. Just that VI's was limited and it is one area where it can be improved so as to enhance the game.Quote:

I think in a 3d remake or improved 2d remake there is very little they could actually do to make the body language any more expressive or clear as it is now, different maybe and to the same excellent standard but i think VI is in the top ranks for use of body language.Quote:

That's not to say if they made it I wouldn't buy it.
When you play an old game meant for the weaker systems, you're bound to run into things you don't like when compared to things we're seeing now. I used to own a Nintendo EnSys, and still own a Sega Genesis and the original Atari system. I don't really play my Genesis anymore and never so much as look at the Atari, but I remember them. I find myself slightly conflicted. I'm nostalgic but nauseated by the old feel of these games.
A remake doesn't need graphic change. There are plenty of original games being released for the PS2 whose graphics are simple hi-def 2D sprites and they're awesome from subjective perspective. I'll be watching.
Considering that I really enjoyed III and IV's remakes, I'm looking forward to this.
I would rather a remake of this be put on the PS3. Imagine, a fully rendered 3-D Kefka burning Thamasa, torching Figaro, and throwing Gestahl off the Floating Continent... I mean... just picture it!
That is my point exactly.Quote:

Yeah, I would want it on the Wii or X-box. Forget Playstation 3. Put alot of cutscenes BUT keep it the way it is. Don't change anything about it.
It's epic as is.
Pfft, PS3 can do so much more. It deserves to be given the finest detail EVER!Quote:

It could always be better.
Final Fantasy XIII quality graphics would help. (Not the character design, though, of course.) Better quality music (same songs, orchestrated), voice acting, no more random battles, maybe move some stuff around in the interest of freshness, etc..
