Xenogears is top of mine as well. Hell I’d even take a remaster with minor QOL improvements, but all I really want is additional content to cover disc 2.

 

Asked if future Final Fantasy games may see a day-one release, Takai says "I think it's possible – probably even likely," before adding, "That said, the team in charge of each project gets to decide its own policy, so this is just my personal opinion."

While Takai's thoughts are his, they align with what Square Enix has said throughout various financial briefings throughout the year. At the company's financial results for the last fiscal year, the developer spoke of a "shift from quantity to quality" as it "aggressively pursues a multiplatform strategy."

It’s surprised me as well. There’s some scenes, areas and fights that aren’t in this demo that I imagine will just cause a deck to grind to a halt.

 

Not my footage but thought SteamDeck owners might be interested in seeing this.

Unexpected but looks like some bad frame rate dips here and there with around 20fps in most scenes where there’s a few things going on.

There’s going to be negative comments, and that can’t be changed. But I do agree that they’re often through rose tinted glasses.

I’ll put you down as a “no” for a remake or remaster then.

How would you prefer the combat system to be instead if they were to remake it?

I’d disagree. I think the changes they’ve made with Eddie look great. He looks sickly and tired, unhinged and empty as a result of the bullying, lifestyles he’s led and the personal hell he’s experiencing.

I recently replayed it for the first time in years and I loved it as well. I think it’s aged really well and still stands strong narratively.

Honestly never thought about a movie/tv series for it. Could be interesting, though I’m not sure I’d want something that follows the main cast from the game.

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.

We had a similar case in the UK, and the teacher lost their case after taking it to an employment tribunal. Hopefully this one goes the same direction.

If they’re smart enough, they’d speed it up. But I suppose it depends on the resources available, Rebirth is a huge game in scale. Though I’m not sure Remake suffered because of the long delay.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I agree. What about a remaster?

 

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?
