I’m seeing some discussions on the this in various different places and thought it would be interesting to ask the same question here.

Personally I think there’s some great Quality of Life improvements that can be made but having recently finished playing through XIII earlier in the year (albeit on Steam Deck) I don’t think it has aged all too terribly. Visually it still holds its own and improvements for me would largely sit within battle mechanics, such as allowing the team leader to be swapped when there is a KO, or even remaking Paradigm Shift animations.

I’d love to see more to do on Pulse, and maybe more opportunities for lore discovery by way of NPC interactions. But I’d expect the latter to be story breaking given how it unfolds and direction it takes.

What would you improve or change?

Honestly, I think is still considered modern for a remake. I’d like to see a remake of ff9 instead.

Yep, 8 and 9 could really use a refresher, 13… Didn’t they already release a graphics updated version?

I don’t think so? The PC version has some fantastic mods though, I recently did a run with 4k cutscenes and high res textures, looked pretty great.

Oh I might be remembering a mod. I really would like to see a 1:1 remake of 8 though, maybe with the weird scaling difficulty fixed, but I really liked that one

Even without any mods it’s still aging pretty well on the graphics front. I don’t think much needs to be done graphically, higher res textures could be a nice improvement.

I agree. What about a remaster?

I replayed them not long ago, the graphics hold up pretty well.

I would want final fantasy 3. I honestly do only care about fantasy medieval Final Fantasy title.

Seems too recent for a remake. I also don’t think it was popular enough, especially the sequels. Maybe a modest HD remaster on PS6.

How about a something like what they did with Crisis Core?

It’d be cool, but I still think it’s too soon. Crisis Core was originally a handheld game, so there was a bigger leap in technology involved. 13 looked amazing for its time, on a much more powerful platform, so there’s not as much room for improvement. And even so, Crisis Core never would have happened if not for tying in with FF7 Remake.

An all-in-one package with all DLC would be great. It would be less of a remaster and more of a re-release.

I like their games and I want them to continue making more, so they need to make things that are profitable. So port FFXVI to PC and Xbox even though I have beaten it already, make all of the FFVII content even though I don’t even like VII, make a mobile game that I won’t play.
