Support NeoGAF

[badcrumble]

I wonder if it is just for porting all their DS and PSP titles to HD platforms? They were such as waste on handheld systems, especially the PSP releases like Dissidia and Tactics Ogre.

No they weren't. If you want them, you should buy the platforms they came out for.

I don't think this applies to their PS2 games being ported to work on the PS3 because that's the next generation of the console. Likewise, if the PSP2 and 3DS weren't already going to be backwards compatible with their respective predecessors, I'd support the same for them.

FFXII in HD! Please? It would take very little effort.

FFIX is also something I'd want, but all that pre-rendered art would be a chore to upscale. Wouldn't it have to be re-drawn entirely?

It's a safe assumption to say that Square-Enix hasn't kept the source for the art or the CG around for the past decade, so yes, everything would almost certainly have to be redrawn.

FF V & FF VI (3)DS remakes.

 

[badcrumble]

FF V & FF VI (3)DS remakes.

Either 3DS or PSP2 would be great.

Regular DS or PSP, though? *pukes*

 

[PumpkinPie]

I hope they re-release FFIX with this problem fixed, It has left me unable to play the game since it's release.

Figured as much, which is a tragedy if true. FFXII has a ton of high-grade assets; PCSX2 is showing them to us to some extent. They could even release an art book of the stuff drawn by Isamu Kamikokuryo and call it "Masterpieces" -- I'd buy it.

PSM3: New 'major PS franchise' HD PS2 collection at E3

My first thought.

Meh, I hope it's MGS, not FF.

 

[Kosma]

FF7 remake seems unlikely.

 

[mt1200]

FFXII HD, I would buy it again

 

[JaseMath]

I have never noticed this.

Worst joke ever. I know that's a lie. I know people don't decide to not play a game because of shit like that.

I would also pay top dollar ($40) for an HD FF12 International Edition. It would be glorious.

Oh yes, how could I forgot about IZJS.

I'll gladly pay for an HD International Zodiac Job System version.

It's possible that the FFXII assets may have been kept around - heck, PCSX2 makes the game look lovely, but high-res text, less-compressed sound, a few texture tweaks, and rerendered HD FMVs would be lovely.

If you want a good look at Square-Enix's policy on keeping their old assets around, though... just look at Advent Children Complete. Only a few years after Advent Children came out, and yet they didn't even bother rerendering the original movie's scenes in HD. Pathetic.

If they DO rerelease old FFs, it'll likely be as basic conversions a la the God of War collection (and FFXII will look lovely, since it already had a widescreen mode and looks gorgeous in HD - maybe not so much for FFX/X-2 or the KH series, none of which have a widescreen display mode). A quick buck. OR it'll be full remakes with modern-day Square-Enix sensibilities (i.e. no more prerendered backgrounds for you and say hello to voice acting).

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

No they weren't. If you want them, you should buy the platforms they came out for.

Or buy an iPhone. :3

is that not more of a sign that they're cheap as opposed to them keeping the original assets?

Someone explain this to me.

 

[Dunan]

Someone explain this to me.

It should be 'Lindblum', not 'Lindbulm'.

 

[PumpkinPie]

It should be 'Lindblum', not 'Lindbulm'.

Yep, first thing you see when you play the game for the first time and they can't even be bothered to get it right.

 

[B.K.]

It'll probably be something lame like a new line of play arts figures.

 

[Tizoc]

HD remakes of X, X-2 and XII would classify as masterpieces SE!

I think so too, this will give me a chance to finally try out X-2 and give XII a play.

 

[Cheesemeister]

So, there's not a creative bone left at S-E? Is it going to be all remakes and re-releases, all the time now?

KH and KH2 Final Mix versions

This, for 3DS, do it Square.

 

[badcrumble]

IF FFX/X-2 and the KH games get ported, they're going to have to tweak things to get widescreen working anyway, so it'd be nice to see maybe a tweak or two to the content of the games. I know, I know, too much to ask for, but a Hard Mode in FFX with actual challenging battles would be a dream come true (since the battle system IS amazingly well designed).

 

[Rahxephon91]

Hopefully.

Aren't you hilarious.

 

[LiK]

i doubt they're HD remakes. Probably just rerelease the old games and put new cover art on it....

 

[rainking187]

Aren't you hilarious.

I was being serious. I love a lot of their classic games but I haven't really played anything from them this gen that I really care for.

That's a symptom, not the disease.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I think HD re-releases for pre PS2 games would be challenging because of the pre-rendered backgrounds.

Unless they recreated them at a native HD resolution they would just be a blurry mess.

 

[elohel]

Chrono Cross HD?

god i wish

even they deemed it their best rpg right?

 

[shaowebb]

TERRANIGMA.

It needs brought back in some form. It's hailed right beside the Mother series as the greatest RPG never ported stateside and it's fanbase keeps growing. Bring it here SE...we've been waiting long enough.

 

[Teknoman]

Romancing SaGa also looks awesome in HD.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

All the remaining Quintet games really need VC releases (Soulblazer, Illusion of Gaia, Robotrek, Actraiser 2). Plus Terranigma is already in english thanks to it's European release.

It's nice we're now getting stuff like FFVI, Chrono Trigger and Lufia, but the Enix side has been woefully neglected. I want DW1-4, EVO and Mischief Makers too.

 

[Teknoman]

Hopefully.

4 Heroes of Light is awesome

 

[Simousse]

Well, I am not allowed to create a new thread (because of my noob statut I assume), so I use this one : Square Enix has registered a new trademark : THEATRHYTHM.

An odd obvious name, probably a smartphone game based on theater ?

It's about time.
Square-Enix doesn't devote enough time and resource to revisiting their old classics.
They're constantly busy making new unforgettable games.
