Much as I'd love to see an HD remake of FF VII (be a heck of a lot cheaper than trying to get a PS copy LOL) and earlier games, I would imagine to do it would require them to basically remake the game to bring the graphics up to that level, right?
Yes, several game sites have confirmed that both X and X-2 will be the international versions. It's why I'll be double dipping on a game for the first time in forever

I think in hindsight people like IX better than most of the other PS era final fantasy games. It was different than other two and it had a strange world, which turns people off. I really do think that more people like IX now than they did then. |

Fans of Final Fantasy, there are decent games before VII. Just because they didn't have as much TV exposure as VII did in the hands of Sony doesn't mean that they are not worth looking into.
Please give these games a try if you are a true Final Fantasy fan. |

The problem with doing an HD-remake of those games is that it's a lot more work. You have to completely re-do most of the models and environments in the game, along with animations too. The reason why XII is a possibility is the same reason X is, the structure is there, all they have to do is upgrade the textures. |

Ugh, please not XII. The battle system played like Hot Shots Golf, and the characters were were all hair swaps of each other. VII, VIII, or IX please.

FFXII HD would be awesome!
 There's so much detail in that game.
For older titles I'd prefer not a simple HD remake, but a true remastering (making the graphics more up to date, voice acted cutscenes, that kind of thing). Otherwise I can just stick the playing the originals. |

Where did I say that the games needed an HD-remake? I'm saying that any Final Fantasy fan worth their salt should check out the classic series in addition to the modern series. |

I personally thought Final Fantasy XII was complete garbage. I played through it through and through, did all the missions and everything. I cannot remember a single thing about it at all. If Square Enix is going to HD that one it will be a no buy for me. They need to give the fans what they want and just go ahead and start from scratch on some remakes. We all know what I am talking about. Or heck...remake a new Final Fantasy with a Materia system...I thought that was genius....but all that is asking too much of Square. If they have money problems as excuses then go for a kickstarter.

A possibility for a remake of XII? Sign me up for that! That's my favorite FF game!

I also don't understand why this is said as if it is a bad thing. Last edited by Rahxephon91 on Tue Jun 18, 2013 12:37 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Mechanically, XII is one of the best games in the series. It has a full open world, tons of different enemies, abilities and status effects. Secrets to be found, hunts and hidden Espers to find. The only place it falls apart is that it's story is rather lackluster. Only a few characters stick out as really being memorable (Basch, Ashe and Balthier). |

+Like I agree completely. To me, FFXII was absolutely fun to play and not a chore the other games were, which began to erode the fun as the game went on. I still remember the "Step. Step Goose!" "random" battles and the impossible to bypass cutscenes of calling powerful allies into battle. The Gambit system made mundane tasks easier to manage, allowing us to focus on battle, not spending rounds healing party members. Plus, you know, there's Fran, the live Playboy bunny. 
FFXIII dashed everything FFXII built up, then threw it on rails. It'll be a while before I buy another FF game, but I absolutely would pay $80 for an HD version of FFXII on the 360 today. |
