But 8 had some ridiculous things about its plot that would be tough to change

This. So lets find out how they can fuck it up

That didn't stop FF7R from making changes lol. Not sure how many caught on to what was shown in that new trailer, but the FF7Rebirth game is about to
pull a 'Laguna' with Zack.
So they could definitely go crazy or crazier with FF8 if they wanted to. So to me it's still funny that, if this rumor is true, they skipped it and said 'actually no, X instead'.

I am glad there are more people than me that actually enjoyed it. I think I played it and beat it before 7.
I see it shit on a bit, and not many in my gaming circle have anything to say about it.

FF X was the first FF I ever played and it was phenomenal lol.

Waste resources? Quite the opposite, it will make buttloads of $$$ after the success of FF7 Remake. Also, Capcom is swimming in $$$ with their RE remakes, so Square can too. Business 101. Money rules.

If this is true, they must have started developing within the last year. And if that is the case and they aim to release it in 3 years, don't expect it to be a full remake a-la FFVIIR.
I imagine it will be similar to FFIX but with a more realistic look.

There’s not much about FFX I’d change in all honesty.
If I had a gun to my head I’d say make Blitzball more robust with more movement options, animations and much better AI.
Outside of that, Dualsense features, improve the graphics, make some environments much larger, keep the linearity and beef up the score even more.
That’s about it.

Not so sure, X and X-2 combined have sold around the same or more than FFVIIOG+Remake combined so far. I'm sure in terms of $ revenue though 7 have brought in more.
VI, VIII and IX as a VII style remake would be a lot of hard work, but X would be a more straighforward undertaking. Wide linear, a lot more asset reuse as Spira feels like one cohesive culture throughout. You could see them pulling it off as one game no problem.
So I think it would be a high spec remake. All I ask for additionally is that the Zanarkand is more explorable at the beginning and a bit longer!

I replayed this (in HD remaster form) for the first time since original release a couple of years ago, it's always been one of my favourite FF's, Auron, Lulu and Kimahri are amongst the best party members Square has ever created, the world is beautiful, the narrative is solid, the Blitzball was... a cool *idea* lol (lots of potential to make this great in a remake).
As long as *new* games keep coming I'm all for remakes/remasters of the old ones. I've said many times on this forum and I'll say it again: Final Fantasy for life. Oh and one more thing
"Ride ze Shoopuf?"

I don't doubt the game would be successful, but 3-4 years for a full-blown remake? We can have high-quality graphics and some QoL improvements, but most environments and mechanics must be the same or it won't make 2026.
I think people will like what they did with FFIX remake and FFX is probably going to be a higher fidelity version of that.

Remember this? https://www.gameinformer.com/2021/0...ritten-but-final-fantasy-7-remake-is-the-main
This is from 2021 when they suddely started talking about FFX again and a potential X-3 etc.... I thought it was odd at the time.
If this is real, I bet they started pre-production in 2021, which would be quick given you have the original X setting the structure, design and all foundations of the flow of the game. So more like 5 years of development min if it is targeting 2026. Square have also embraced UE4 and now 5, I think the engine has given them a lot of confidence to produce high quality games without any bottlenecks.
If they want to do a X-3, it makes complete sense to remake the first game, then re-use the work from that to make X-3 in a short amount of time. Hypothetical, you complete X Remake, there's an extra bit to ending with a time skip showing the characters 5-10 years in the future which leads into X-3 and meaning you can skip and pretend X-2 doesn't exist.

I don’t think FF10 needs a remake. I think this obsession with remakes and remasters this generation confirms that the older games were just better, more innovative and memorable. I really liked FF10, but I just hope they don’t ruin it by dedicating it to “modern audiences”.

Turn-based gameplay seems to be a bigger turnoff than graphics that don’t push boundaries these days.
Why bother with pushing the visuals if people won buy because the game is turn-based?
Square are churning out more new IPs than any other big publisher right now.
This post just highlights the problem with it: people are not interested. They’d rather wait for news about the next copy-paste Dragon Quest than play some smaller titles from SQEX. And like it or not, FF remains their most recognizable and valuable IP in the west. FF is what made them big beyond Japan. Stop releasing FF titles and watch SQEX drop into irrelevance like a stone.

Looks like square taking a leaf from capcom’s book with remakes this gen. Makes sense though as we had the best FF’s back in then. Hope we get VIII eventually.

FFX has a very good story. The part about Spira being ruled by the dead rings so true in today’s world. Too bad Nomura’s designs and the terribad English VA never allowed me to take it as seriously as the story deserves. Auron is automatically the best character on the grounds that he doesn’t look like a clown and his voice is so badass.
Remake it with characters I don’t want to punch in the face at first glance and I’ll be more than ok with it.

I'm not saying they don't put out bad games.
Please look forward to foamstars.
All I care about is that they put out lots of games I like. It's easy to not play the games I don't care about.

I know they’ve been releasing games, I should say publishing games with the exception of a few in-house games over the last 5-6 years.
Why is there no sequel/prequel to Vagrant story.
I feel like now’s a good time to reintroduce Tobal.
I would love to see what a Bushido Blade would look like on todays consoles, think of all the destructible environmental effects you could do with your blade.
I can’t believe they haven’t done anything with Brave Fencer Musashi.
Why hasn’t a new Parasite Eve been in production for at least 3 years now after seeing the success of all the RE remakes?
And for gods sake put fucking Einhander on all the stores in all regions!
But then that brings us back to what you said and your right. Every game I mentioned up there is a Squresoft game not a SqureEnix game. It really made me think that I haven’t given SqureEnix any of time with the exception of FF12 on release (it’s the last FF game I completed).
Age huh…where does the time go. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the merger also. It still feels new to me.

Doesn't count because it's not a remake. So I can't bitch about it.

Probably the most overrated game in the series. I think some competent writing + directing would go a long way toward improving on the original.
yeah right who am I kidding? It’s going to be some masturbatory 2deep4u Tetsuya Nomura tween melodrama

For once I feel like this one should be left alone.
FFIX? Sure sign me the fuck up.
FFIX? Nope. Just fine as it is. Sure the ""'''''''''remaster""'''''' is fucked so maybe give that another try.

If FFX is considered too deep then I'm living in the kiddie pool. The SHIT after this one was trying to be way more headdy, in my opinion.

It is definitely overrated.
8 is the most overrated. Just one person saying it isn't terrible, would be overrated.
If they do remake X, they need to kill those mini-games with fire. At least, don't lock ultimate weapons behind them.

Nah I mean that’s what they’ll try to turn it into. Some Kingdom Hearts style turd with a bunch of teenagers in stupid looking costumes giving speeches about fate and destiny and darkness and shit

Yes, it got a remaster. But it’s being skipped by the remake trend if the rumors about IX and X remakes are to be believed.
Also sure, it wasn’t great(loved the music and the triple triad though) but you mentioned it was overrated. It’s not, it doesn’t deserve to be overrated.

I think the main character of FF8 is kind of relatable. Doesnt love himself. And who can blame him? He got abandonment issues.
And everybody looking to him for the leadership role which he never asked for, as if he knows wtf to do.
And he aint ungrateful. He just doing his damn job and doesnt want all the extra bullshit.
I think its a great story and has great character development. He’s learning to trust his environment.
Idk i like him.
And the music is PHENOMENAL. World design/setting PHENOMENAL. Characters PHENOMENAL. It has issues with the narrative. But damn FF8 is a masterpiece and idgf what anybody has to say.
10/10 Squaresoft classic.

Would be so amazing but I'd worry they couldn't do it justice.

This is a way I'd kind of be okay with him showing up actually.. back in the past where he belongs. Despite that we've seen his story in Crisis Core, I honestly wouldn't be opposed to some of that. But considering how big a task VII is I just don't see where they have the time for that. He better stay in the coffin though.

I mean…
Since there’s a heavy implication that future Sephiroth split the timeline, that means that the timeline they showed in the trailer intro (where the main cast died but Zack lived and Cloud’s missing) could be real, but just not the main timeline. Remember, there is still potentially a ‘Sephiroth Prime’ running around doing the original actions he did in FF7 which will cause even more chaos for the main party, all while future Sephiroth is still screwing with them. It’s a wonderful mess of time shenanigans that is making all of this a fun ride and I’m hoping that they manage to pull off something special with it, all while giving you those special moments from the original timeline.
