I figured it was just something about music stuff anyway.. I never believed for a second that it was to be a "remake" of that game. It doesn't even need a remake.

If anything that game needs a remaster but not a remake. The graphics still stand up well for an older game compared to many others.

Why bother re-making one of the worst games in the series anyway? Confused

If they're really so keen on re-making any of the other games after VII, they should do either 6 or 9 instead.

Actually I think it's more about the wording he used then anything. A remake for Final Fantasy XII is unlikely anytime soon if ever(seeing as Nomura who is directing the VII remake said he would like to remake 6 next)

I personally think what he was talking about was a Final Fantasy XII HD remaster in the vein of FFX and X-2 HD. Awhile ago Square basically said if X sold well enough and there was enough demand a XII remaster would be next. Lets be honest a composer is probably not versed in what a remake versus a remaster is.

Hope it happens because XII is my favorite game in the series.(unless you count Tactics)

Not surprised, that announcement really just felt like a mistake.

This game definitely needs a remaster, though. One of my favorite main FF games, it looked really good back in the day on a CRT TV, but on an HDTV it just looks awful (like all other PS2 games), some HD touching-up would do a lot for this game.

I'm sure its just because he used the term remake rather then remaster and that confused people but I have no doubts whatsoever that FF12 is getting a remaster like FFX and it will be officially announced either at gamescom or TGS,

Because we all knew it made sense to remaster X then remake the more recent XII. Wink

Not for a moment did I think it was a "remake," but rather a HD upgrade/remaster like X and X-2. Remakes in the terms of SE, are considerably more demanding, as we saw with the VII announcement at E3. I could totally see someone like Roth not knowing the difference between the two.

As I would say, no harm done.

I still get why this "story" even took off, why would this guy have inside info on Square Enix's games? He's the director for the concert tour.

Nomura had nothing to do with the original game, so the assumption that he would be put in charge (or even be involved) with a theoretical remake of FFXII is misinformed.

I figured this was the case.

I hope they do an upscale at some point. XII is my favorite of the series and in my top 10 games overall.
