Two big Final Fantasy remakes are reportedly still in ‘active development’ | VGC
I still think VIII is the game that needs the remake more, with it desperately needing a gameplay revamp, and a properly explored story. Not to mention that we'd get an instant GOTY winner in music.
Yeah, FF8 is one of my least favourite in the mainline series.
The card game is great, but the actual RPG aspect ended up being dreadfully boring to me. The battle system was bland and easy, playing through the game casually (without even transforming any cards). I think I had one game over in the entire game, and maybe one other close call.
It has a lot of great elements, but the core gameplay left much to be desired.
What sucks is its story is so interesting, below the surface. Unfortunately, the game is never as good as the deep dive videos.
Remake VIII.
Absolutely. Coincidentally I'm replaying through FF9 and it holds up fine with just some emulator bells and whistles. The art style helps a lot there.
I've tried to get into 8 a few times over the years but can never stick with it. I would be very interested in a 7 style remake with refactored mechanics.
