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
That would be wild, and I would love it. While I think you should probably remake games that had potential but didn’t execute well, I think the financial team might shoot somebody.
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.
Agreed, while the game has some problems it still artistically looks great.
I replayed them not long ago, the graphics hold up pretty well.
I agree. What about a remaster?
