I dont want normal remasters for VIII and XIII where they just improve visuals because those games do have some pretty significant problems despite being great games, i want them to get the Zodiac treatment where they make substantial changes to the game.
For VIII
1.Overhaul of the Junction system with QOL improvements
2.Drawing a spell gives you that magic, rather than a finite number with a limited amount of uses
3.Option to skip summon animations
4.Bring over 2-5x speed from PC version
For XIII
1.Speed up the process of acquiring all the job roles
2.Make a mini game, make explorable area's (pre pulse) and add side quests to improve pacing, and break up the battle/cutscene/battle/cutscene nature of the game.
3.Put more information into weapon upgrading so you dont need to use a guide.
4.Implement natural world building into the game (like dialogue during exploration/NPCs) so you dont have to read data logs.
I'm a huge fan of the speed boosters in the PC ports but XIII's combat is already super fast paced and i don't know if it would work well in XIII. I guess they could throw it in there if its possible though.

Not really, we were blindsided by FFXIV announcement at Sony's conference that year. There was no leaks or rumours beforehand
What you are asking can't be done in a Remaster... new eras to explore and redoing the battle system?
Be logical.
For XIII, I would just add hunts to previous areas and the ability to travel back to most zones. I would add mini games to Nautilus and I would give each character more obvious and defined roles, maybe by doing something as simple as calling Hope a Bard, Lightning a Red Mage, Sazh a Time Mage etc. Still keep the same roles, but then also give each character a job title that represents what they do best.
My guess would have been an updated version of this thing from the opening mission:
You fight it on a bridge before setting up the bomb. Maybe they made it more grand to fit with the updated graphics and gameplay
Edit: removed picture because it's more likely the air buster, seen below

Interesting. I'm expecting to see a lot of Midgar. I kind of want to see a good amount of sectors.
That's nice and all but I would prefer if it was a screenshot of a mech from Left Alive.
Cool nonetheless.

Probably that mech boss on the bridge before the reactor, shortly before cloud meets aireth/s
Oh yeah, this one is more likely.Air Buster maybe?
This is what I was thinking of when I went looking for the image but I couldn't see it when scrubbing through so I thought I had dreamt this enemy and fight up lol. Glad to know I'm not insane and they didn't just update the little machine I linked above lol
It's sad that this blurry picture is the one thing that has hyped me the most when it comes to videogames lately, but here we are. They better show something soon enough, but I doubt it :(
And yeah, I think it's a heavily updated Air Buster. FFVII has some of the most ridiculous enemies, so it's going to be fun seeing them redesigned (when they're not outright removed).
He released a game last year, so not that great. Is it even confirmed that he is working on any game atm? Last time I heard from him, he was begging for funding.
Back in January the team said they have made "tremendous progress" on the title.
I assume Square wouldn't have a presentation for E3 this year if they didn't have stuff to show and I imagine the avengers title is one of those big things to show off here.

Avengers is supposed to be revealed sometime this year, but that doesn't necessarily mean E3. It'll probably be there, but I'm a little worried it might not be given the lack of confirmation.
Exactly this
Hopefully we get a story trailer that transitions to a 10 minute long gameplay demo, but at this point I'm expecting a dev diary with some little snippits of gameplay
Hope to be proven wrong
I'd like to think if this is really a big honking deal for all parties involved, then it would make sense to get the engines ramped up for the marketing blitz by doing a reveal as soon as things are ready. After all, there could be tie-ins with comics, action figures and mobile games to consider, on the same token.
Or at least, that's what I hope. I'd like to think whatever planning Disney-Marvel has in store would go over better here than what happened with Capcom's game.
If FFVIIR is at E3 I bet they don't show it at this and wait till the Sony conference later that day.
