FF6 or FF8 (FF7 Remake style) which one?

[CB Got Games]

Which one? share your thoughts as to why. Or if you don't feel nether should be, then which one out of the FF franchise?

I would love an FF6 remake in that style, and I think it still has enough to improve upon to warrant that effort. The game's original vision as an ensemble cast in which every character could be the protagonist didn't come into fruition due to time and budget constraints, and it'd be amazing for the team to get another crack at that.

FF8 probably could use that kind of remake the most though. It's mechanically and narratively outdated and hard to justify recommending to anyone today.

God no. I wouldn't touch either. FF7R is one of the greatest gaming disappointments of my life. Nomura and Kitase shouldn't be allowed to ruin anything else!

Would love a FF6 remake that uses character models which look exactly like Amano's art style.

Im going to say FF9 because it one of my least liked games in the series.
FF7R was a terrible game a so i wouldnt that treatment on any half decent game.

Actually, scratch that - do FF13

FF6 is honestly too big for that kind of a remake. You notice how sometimes it feels sort of rambly and like things are happening mostly make sense but don't lead together very well? Imagine having to add the content to the game to allow those scenes to breathe enough for a modern audience? Or giving characters unique lines after being swapped out. And that's just assuming a "faithful but expanded" remake. FF7r had it's own metatextual side plot that actually changes the story a bit.

What's wrong with you? The FFVII Remake is great.

Completely ruined the game. The combat system is so, so bad.

ff7 "remake" is so bad that rebirth sold badly and even japan don't want it. And that is their home base... just shows you how had bad gaming truly is now when the player base its made for is like.. no. but, they turned a decent Final fantasy into something utterly bad. even the voice acting is bad in it.. at least on the english.. idk. I liked ff7 but honestly its not really that good... remake might of been ok if they would stop making everything F-ing action based.

Physical sales are down, but the digital sales are being reported around 2-3 million. SquareEnix/Sony are gurgling their marketing shazbot down our throats that "Being a PS5 exclusive is why we sold so many copies of Rebirth"...

So... what do you mean it sold bad?

Rebirth is the highest selling PS5 game in Japan. It's not selling poorly. We don't even know what the digital sales are. Regardless of sales, it has overwhelming critical and user acclaim.

[Garbtacular]

6 is a good game, 8 fundamentally is not. why would i need a remake of a game thats already good?

Because people are so desperate for an ff7 remake that of course they will play it.
If they remade the original but kept it very true to the old game, including the combat, it would have sold FAR more and you know it.
Not taking away from the success of the current remakes, I also personally really enjoyed the first one, I don't hate the combat. I personally like action rpg combat, but I also wish it was just turn based.
If they re-made ff6 to have modern graphics and turn based combat it would be a wet dream for me.

Also they are already currently working on an ff9 remake, that's been stated since a year or 2 ago so we can expect that one next. But I think it's going to be like the 8 remake, just a more modern remaster.

No, I don't think you realize just how dated the old game's mechanics are. Very doubtful it would have sold more than the trilogy combined will.

If you want a remake to sell 5 million or more copies, it has to be something like the Resident Evil 2 or FF7 remakes, which utilize modern gameplay sensibilities.
