I want XI Offline most tbh.
That'd basically be like what it plays like now. Speed through the game with boosted exp and NPC party members. The story isn't the focus on XI so it's kind of boring if you ask me. I'd rather have XI Classic Servers or a full XI Online Remake.

Hopefully also remake FF13 one day and make it actually good.
And there it is, Lightning's Law strikes again.
13 ruled, sorry you couldn't appreciate it. :)

I'm iffy on FFX; for me it's when the cracks started showing, but I'd play a remake.

I don't know if we need to be attacking an insider with a pretty great record and potentially scaring them off. This seems to happen a lot on this site and it kind of sucks.
The simplest solution is to let mods vet the insider's credentials--which I remember the insider had offered to do before, but as far as I recall they said no mods ever reached out to them to verify anything.

Square Enix and Sega must really love this guy's marketing firm if he's privy to a double digit count of years off projects from both Square Enix and Sega, including films now apparently! Has insights into how FF7R Part 3's production is progressing too; I guess they just rattle that off to anyone these days.

Funny how back in April the Persona 3 and Jet Set Radio footage was fake, and yet while the numbers were clearly early, the health bar in said footage is identical to the trailer that leaked today. Isn't this info supposed to be coming from marketing? Claiming to have seen trailers?

There's flying too close to the sun, and there's making a beeline directly towards it. I can only suspend my disbelief so far when one person claims to have first hand knowledge of at least seven Final Fantasy projects and about as many games from Sega / Atlus. If such a position were to exist, anyone sharing this stuff as frequently as this guy would be easily identifiable and long fired.

Yeah this post should be quoted more. I'm going to express doubt. There's no way they are remaking FFX unless it's secretly X-3 which Kitase said he would like to do after Remake. I seriously doubt there is a FFX remake especially when IX hasn't even been revealed yet.

Sure and I can speak to them in private as well if they like

I don't mind stopping the sharing of info, no weight off my back. Not worth the animosity. I can just share in private from now on like I used to.
Hey dude. I appreciate you telling us about all those games coming out however leaking story spoilers is kind of too much. Let people have their fun! People are going to see it and it's going to be all over the internet.

So what exactly are you trying to say?

why make new games when we can just remake the games we already made?
we will make a lot of money because nostalgia sells, and there is less risk when designing a game that already has a blueprint!

It's a WIN WIN!

Well sure, I don't know what happens on the moderator side of things, but I Am a Hero has gotten a lot of stuff correct. We shouldn't need mods to tell us whether to trust a person when their history shows that to some extent they should be. Like all insiders, everything should be taken with a grain of salt to some degree, but we should also be able to think for ourselves and be mature about it. Not having a go at you of course, just sharing my view.

....they're realising a new game in less than 2 weeks, and their VIIR trilogy is criticised by many for being too different. c'mon now

Played through it myself yearly since it came out so I would probably be the last to say this needed a remake, but this past month I've played through it with my partner experiencing it for the first time and... The combination of the already bad lip syncing, super weird character movements and with the added absolute botched face of Tidus ... They really don't hold up to people seeing it for the first time.

I'm hoping they just go crazy with the game and don't try to recreate it as it was.

Weird argument when their next new game is coming out in 2 weeks. You can do both. Capcom alternates between Remakes and new releases for RE too.

have no doubt X-3 or XVII crossover as sequel to X and VII is on the way after Remake trilogy so makes sense they would remake the super popular X

This makes way more sense to remake than 9. But aye ill take both. Just played through 10 for the first time this year and enjoyed it. Tidus is both terrible and great lol.

If it's a single game then it could be great! They definitely don't need multiple parts for FFX.

Between the rumors of remaking 9, 10, and Tactics -- there's a difference between alternating between new games and remakes, and making 2/3 remakes for every new game.
But hey, I like remakes too, but I think there's a balance here that has to be hit. It can get easy for companies to play it safe with remakes. Just look at Disney.

capcom released 3 resident evil remakes and 1 new resident evil in the span of 4 years. resident evil is arguably at it's strongest point in history

I am absolutely not joking when I say the next remake I want is FF7 again.

If IX is a remakester like I imagine it will be, that's also what I'd love to see for VII. And with VII Remake being a semi sequel to the original, being able to play a polished version of the original would be great.

Final Fantasy X is the best of both worlds. I really like it... it's actually my favorite Final Fantasy.

Wat. Of all the things to bitch about SE, not releasing new games really isn't one of them, see: FFXVI coming out in two weeks and the shitload of games they released last year. Can't really blame them for pulling a Capcom and remaking some of their most popular titles, especially when a lot of them are outsourced anyway (which they even tried for FFVIIR before bringing it back in-house).

Anyway, makes sense to me. I think a FFVIII remake would require a similar amount of work as FFVIIR and maybe even multiple games, so it's probably hard to justify until that trilogy is done. But a FFX remake could follow the same framework as the original and expand upon it.

That's basically what they're doing with the mobile game, which I'm sure will be ported to consoles once it's done.

HA HA HA HA.

No seriously. X is the least of their worries.

Where's a remake of VIII? VI? IX?
IX remake is already heavily rumoured. VI and VIII would require way more work than X.

Just play Ever Crisis then? It's the closest thing to a 100% ffvii remake lol

I'm excited for Ever Crisis because its basically an expanded Before Crisis. But it is in no way going to be a remake of the original game beyond following the same story. If you're expecting exploration and the world map, character growth in the same way, then you're going to be really disappointed. It's a gacha game that recreates the story scenes of the original game plus the compilation.

Why? Just to experience how incompetent Yuna is? How much of a selfish dick Tidus is? How poorly written their romance is? Game plays well enough and you can do all of this in the HD version.

Blitzball is the best minigame ever and I'm absolutely ready to lose myself in a modern, updated version of it.

That'd basically be like what it plays like now. Speed through the game with boosted exp and NPC party members. The story isn't the focus on XI so it's kind of boring if you ask me. I'd rather have XI Classic Servers or a full XI Online Remake.

Hard disagree, IMO it contains the best story in the franchise.

I don't see how the quoted posts in the OP points towards a remake? They even respond to someone asking about X-3 lol.

Anyway, wake me up when VIII is getting a remake.
