In reflection, I remember that my childhood was spent playing video games, oftentimes with friends or simply by myself, and only just recently have I remembered just how wonderful these memories really are."
Final Fantasy has a long running history with numerous numbered titles and spin-offs, but which games stand to benefit from a remake?
Agreed. Ff2 though can be made better, so it's not entirely a lost cause. Ff8 will gets its time. I do wish they'd do the old ones. From ff10 and up those ones still hold up pretty well.
Honestly, I've always felt that VII and up 'hold up well' in that regard. The early 3D games just needed a cosmetic update. But the FFVII Remake is so different to the original in execution that a lot of games could be done in a similar fashion and feel far more modern.
I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing (that depends on your personal preference!), just that they could feel very different.
Kevco I liked remake but I think your right. Idda been happy with a 1 to 1 remake that looked like ever crisis to. Or both
I'd just love I square would one day give us a turned based one with today's graphics. I can't really think of a jrpg that does that.
I'd rather the 13 trilogy just be ported tbh. No matter what you think if it, it shouldn't be the only numbered offline games not playable on new consoles. But naturally I'd play the **** out of 8-12 remakes.
I do agree. I'd give it another shot even though I didn't like it at first. My taste change over time. Gta 4 for instance I was so disappointed it lacked so much of what san andreas had I didn't play it for like 5 years. One day went to a semi pro football game(American football) came home drunk and decided to try 4 again. I actually liked it after giving it a fair shot.
From Xfire: "For better or worse, Remakes/Remasters are here to stay. After companies realized that fans are willing to pay the same price - or even more - for the re-release of an old game, they turned turbo mode on and hit the gas. Heck, I am one of these crazy fans - I have six Final Fantasies on my PlayStation!"
Bushido Blade... Like, please... It would be absolutely glorious with modern tech! Why don't we ever see fan attempted remakes for Bushido Blade!? I know Hellish Quart is trying to fill that void some. but there was just something really cool about each and every Bushido Blade character. Very anime-esque, but also gruesomely realistic with its combat.
Well they are making the octopath traveler tactics game. It has a demo on switch give it a try!
That Triangle game? I've been excited to see more. Will definitely check out the demo.
Fell Seal is the closest I've gotten to that Tactics feel.
It was port with added cgi scenes and a better English translation. It was far from a remake
That's where I replay it. I've heard that the mobile port is decent too, but I'm looking for an actual remake (and sequel).
Xfire writes "The Final Fantasy franchise is nearly as old as the video game industry itself.
First released way back in 1987, what initially started as a hail mary title has since turned into a media franchise that has spawned more than a dozen mainline titles and been featured in other forms of media, making hundreds of millions of dollars along the way.
But while the mainline titles get all of the attention -- all eyes are currently on Final Fantasy 16 -- the franchise also has a handful of spin-off titles that are just as good as the mainline titles."

@ cool
It’s more than just having characters. KH uses various gameplay mechanics, themes, terminology, & aesthetics from FF.
It just happens to be a spin-off that’s also a crossover, similar to fellow spin-off crossover titles such as Pokémon Conquest, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle, & Warriors All Stars
Does including characters from a game make it a spin off? If so, is Smash Bros a spinoff of Metal Gear Solid? 😕
I would put Bravely Default as the best Final Fantasy spin off, even though it doesn't carry the Final Fantasy name (although the japanese version does have the subtitle Flying Fairy so it could carry the FF acronym).
About the games in the list, I like Dissidia 012 a lot, but my favorite is Theatrhythm. I still turn on my old 3DS from time to time to play a few songs.
I wish it had some remixed or orchestrated versions of the old songs, though. NES/SNES songs are nostalgic, but when played by an orchestra they're taken to another level. Strange that some people complained that Theatrhythm Dragon Quest did exactly that... I guess nostalgia does speak loudly.
Ahhh. Dreamcast.
Dreamcast? err?
Personally by far my favourite game from the gamecube was Metal Gear: Twin snakes.
I have a soft spot for my little Gamecube. Loved playing as Link in Soul Calibur.
Resident Evil remake was fantastic too.
The console had such potential and never really got the chance to realise it to the full.
I still have mine.I play it from time to time.Tho the amount of good games are slim, but, it does bring back memories.
Wind waker for the win !
........i miss my game cube :(
