Other than Ni No Kuni I havnt really played a BIG jrpg of the same kind this gen, It is pretty silly paying to play older games but what the hell, its a genuinely good game
FFXV has to be epic.
remake type-0 for ps3/vita and localize for real ^_^
XII they will probably do eventually, IX i'm not getting my hopes up.
Squenix is so bad these days they would probably find a way to botch even a simple HD remaster of IX.
I've never played the original or the sequel and I plan on trying it out.
Why would they remake it so soon after the HD remaster?
...Or is Gamerfitnation just not aware of the difference between the two?
Regardless of whether this game has been released before, it is incredibly exciting to be able to play the game again, but this time to be able to become even more immersed in the world of Spira with beautiful HD graphics, richer sound and remade textures.
This generation has been absolutely diabolical for good JRPG's (Ni No Kuni excluded), so regardless of whether it is a HD Remaster or a new IP completely, this is still going to be hands down the best game on the Vita and arguably one of the best JRPGs on the PS3 regardless of its age...
I personally think that they are one of the most creative and awe-inspiring game developer companies around, it's their Public Relations that completely suck. Their fans seem to be inconsequential to their decisions, and that sucks, they are notorious for releasing information about something and leaving it for years before even mentioning a smidgeon of information (FFvXIII and FFX HD anyone?), however the products that come out of the company are no less than stellar; granted some are more highly looked upon than others, but you can be assured that if it has Square(soft)Enix's name on it, it's going to be quality work.
Square Enix are a fantastic company with brilliant and creative minds working for them, their fan service is a little twisted however. Unless you can explain your reasons for your opinions, no one wants to hear them. :)
SERIOUSLY. But THAT'S not all! It's idiocy on both sides of each meaning! I came across a comment on Facebook that read, "I really hope they remaster FFVII instead. Fuck X, I hated it."
Now, I don't care whether you hate it or not. That's perfectly up to the individual's personal taste, which is fine. But for the love of GOD, get it RIGHT! Please! When was the last time ANYONE has seen a "remastered" PS1 classic...? Like really-- WHEN? Hmmm... Never? Wow, maybe that's because THERE AREN'T ANY.
And, honestly now, this is just my own ignorance here, because I simply don't know, but how the hell would one ACTUALLY go about remastering a PS1 game...? And if they did, what would be the point? There's barely any point to remastering PS2 games as is, but a PS1 game? No thanks. Better to just REMAKE IT.
Bottom line, here's a little lesson for the idiots; a "remaster" is not a "remake". Remastering something is, in short, taking an old game, and refining it in order to fit a more modern sense of style (in terms of Trophies/Achievements, and better resolution). Remaking something, is taking the idea and structure of an old game, and starting its production from scratch, also in order to fit a more modern sense of style, but also to update mechanics and limitations that were once obsolete in the original version.
Understand? -_-
Although I agree with your points completely, there are few inconsistencies with some of your comments. There are a few games that have remastered versions of PS1 Classics, such as the the Tomb Raider Trilogy and the Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee Remaster.
I do understand your point about the annoyance of getting 'remakes' and 'remasters' mixed up, and your point still goes unchalleneged and concrete. I just thought that I'd pick up on your point. :)
I don't know why I didn't think of it at the time, but I guess that they can easily remaster a PS1 classic by fancying it up, and adding it onto the PS Store as a PSN game. Which is what the Oddworld one is, right? A PS1 classic turned into a PSN game?
