Final Fantasy Remake

[Wolf Kanno]

Well I was cruising through a few of the FF forums and noticed alot of "remake" threads. So I decided to do a major thread here about what FF you would like to see a next-gen remake of? But I felt we should make this interesting. You have to say why it deserves it, and what would be changed (try being realistic and wipe off the nostalgia). Also I want you mention which game doesn't deserve to be remade. My only request is to try to be civil, all these games mean something to someone. Also no sequels or spin-offs (sorry Tactics fans).


I want to hear a few people's thoughts before I list my own choices...

I really want to see FF1 *not* remade, so I could play the old game on a system and not use a rom or cruddy nes. Because nothing ever feels the same.

ON TOPIC:

If they don't give me old FF1, then my top choice would be a NEW FF1 with XIII graphics.
No- Wait- No. I like the story to myself, and the characters aren't developed. I am writing an FF1 script, and I would rather flesh it out and remake it with all the bells and whistles to my liking, and then make it into a movie. Remaking it as a game, again, isn't really worth it, I don't think. Nobody cares unless they can play it in 8-bit. The others will be satisfied with Origins, because they just want to complete the series, and they all like 7 better anyway.

1. So, because I'm an evil maniac to all the fanboys, I would most like to see FFVI remade. I was of the nes era, and so my fond nostalgic memories are not of the SNES, and so it would inrigue me greatly to see heightened graphics of Kefka ripping the planet apart, of the Espers flying around, of the Emperors grandeur castles and the filth of Zozo, The awesome characters adn the ice caves of narshe and the graphics that could be made! Oh, what a graphically fantastic game it would be! Because that's one of the things it was back then too. It'd be spectacular.

And besides, the nostalgia kids already got FFVI remade for the Playstation. The oldbies don't have anything to complain about on that end like I do with FF1 (Which will probably never remade as it was originally made in 8-bit. It's not marketable that way... *Sigh*)

2. I never cared for FFIV, and I thought that FFV was excellent. However, and unfortunately, I think that FFIV remade, however much I think it sucks now, would probably be a much better remade game than V. It's got better individual character development concepts, and, to be honest. It's more fantastic. They go from Earth, to the Lava Underworld, to Monster world to flying to the Moon on a gigantic whale.
It would be great to see a remake of 4 with XIII graphics.

Funny though, the only choices for remake are 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. 3 just got remade, 5 isn't legendary for anybody, it's just a decent game, 1 is done, and 2 isn't really all that great and is probably only slightly better for a remake than 3 and 5. (I suddenly see why 3 and 5 and 2 didn't quite make it to the US. They ain't really good enough except for pop value. It isn't like we're selling Justin Timberlake to Japan, yeah?)

All of them are fine as is.

I know it's not the answer you wanted, but that's just the way I feel.

[Rocket Edge]

FFVIII, but that's simply because it's my favourite FF.

[Dragon Mage]

If you want to be fair, they all deserve a good re-run, if you know what I mean.

[LunarWeaver]

I want a VII remake, and I'm not really against any others getting remakes. Except maybe XII, that'd be a little on the shifty side what with it just now coming out n' such.

[DarkLadyNyara]

I'd like to see some of the early ones (I, II, VI, IV) remade with XII-type graphics, voices, ect. Just because it would be cool. It would also be nice if they fleshed out the storylines of the first two.

I do not want to see IX remade, because you do not alter perfection. Alright, seriously, I have no objections.

[The Crystal]

FFVII need to be remade. The other parts of the compilation(CC, AC, DoC, etc) have much better graphics than the original game, and this is not good.
Another motive, is that the compilation made some retcons in the story of the original game, and now, SE need to remake the game with this retcons.

Damn straight.
And speed up waits between screen changing, the cosmos was created in less time for crying out loud

FFVI: just imagine kefka in high definition.

FFVIII does not need to be remade because nobody wants to experience the junction system all over again.

[Ashley Schovitz]

Any FF below X would work to be remade, I know most of you will say VII, but I don't think any in particular don't deserve to be remade unless it's the PS2 ones, because they're not that old or ugly, but they might make another XI in years to come.

[Slothy]

I've said it before, but it's worth saying again: FFVI in a graphical form that replicates Amano's art style perfectly. I want that game to look like all the pretty pictures he drew.

[No.78]

FF1 remade would be cool.

Actually, now I think about it... FF11 is kinda like FF1 remake, just, different.
