Is Square would do a 1:1 remake of Final Fantasy 8 that would be great. But we know that Square won’t be able to help themselves so they’ll end up ruining it with crappy modern game design and bloat.
Final Fantasy 8 is such an amazing game and I want it to stay that way. Seems like most modern developers have a really lost their way.
@Phreak
Same here man, not interested in Revelation either. If you said to me 10 years ago that I’d feel the way I do now about Final Fantasy, I would have called you crazy.
At least the Resonance demo is awesome. I’m looking forward to it
