Final Fantasy X HD has been on the headlines for like a year? It is only a remaster, no remake im afraid. The only difference will be upscaled
If you think a year's wait is that bad for a game, you haven't been paying attention.
But announcement began around 2011, so about two years actually.
Not that bad really in comparison to others lately.
And, I don't know who stated anything about a remake.
Except me, which was on Oddworld, which is a remake of the first game.
If they release it without that I think ill ditch final fantasy.
Didn't know actual fans of FFX-2 existed. Thought that was myth.
I'm pretty sure Square won't miss that demographic much.
They dont seem to be in it for the fans anymore.
When were they ever?
After the square-enix merger they've centered most of their development around FF7-style games.
Example: FF13.
If you love the original Squaresoft games, you'll love the FF14 mmo.
But, yet...
They had to apologize for FF14 in the end.
Which is alright, because from the compliments on the Beta version of "A Realm Reborn"
they're actually doing a pretty good job now that they fire Komoto and replaced him with Naoki Yoshida.
Suggest you check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWeTxlVXVTE The gameplay is a bit of a merger between FFV's job system and FF6's Active Time battle system.
And the graphic style is reminiscent to that of 12's, but with great improvements.
And exploration is a key element to both 14 mmo and 15, which are both open world.
as a final fantasy fanatic it just looks like a differrent series.
Again, if you're comparing it to the original six, you're wasting your time.
And FF14:ARR does cover that nostalgia if you want it.
Hironobu Sakaguchi however is still making games occasinally nowandays.
If you're that interested in the old games, recently he completed the Last Story:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Story Cutting edge graphics were pretty much apart of every Final Fantasy game, especially starting at six which is known for its pixel art.
They've also been known to try something new within every addition to the series, and being that Crisis Core was such a great game, attempting live action is a safe bet I'd say.
Plus, it's being directed by the same guy who's known for Kingdom Hearts: Tetsuya Nomura.
So if there's any type of rejection towards 15 for their new gameplay attempts, you can direct your anger at that guy.
Personally am also a fan, and can't wait.
To me, they've really been stepping up their game since their crashing mishaps of the years past.
I await their ability to redeem themselves.
