Yes, truly a deep and poetic post.
lol
"Small issue" 😂😂😂yes he could, hell monolithsoft did, a skeleton crew can absolutely make a game that is NOT an excuse, or you know focused his kh team who were making spinoff for him over to making versus since versus was supposed to use kh combat. he had options. your hatred of 13 doesn't change the guy could have done it. kh3 and ff7r show he could have done it. he didn't. 13 may have caused a small issue but it absolutely did not put development of versus on hold that was nomura. he could have made the game if he wanted on the scale he wanted to with the team he had if he wanted to.
Perhaps if it was nomura who demanded the creation of a new engine, then that might be a stronger argument but I don't actually know if that was his initiative or not tbh. It was just that crystal tools was not versatile and that is why it's since been abandoned most likely.then it still wasn't 13's fault that versus still didn't come out. It the new engine they kept trying to push. but still nomura is still partly to blame for this, he could have done more than basically a concept and a few cg trailers by the time he was eventually pushed aside. there was barely anything there. and nomura even admitted himself that he is perfectionist which is why it takes him so long to develop games. if he doesn't like something he has who ever did go back and redo it. saying 13 was the biggest issue when it was likely mostly the luminous engine is wrong
He also got Birth by Sleep, Re:coded, 358/2 Days, Dream Drop Distance, and three HD collections out the door. Numbered titles are irrelevant to prove that he's a bad director when he has provided almost yearly releases since 2005.
Under 6, yes. But in late 2014 they swapped their entire engine and that wasn't resolved until December 2014. 4 years late and the game had gone gold, which is pretty much the standard for an AAA release these days, and then he got FFVIIR out the door a year later.hell how many years since it was announced to be in development.
Woah... You don't think the FFXIII trilogy even belongs in the past? So you want to just wipe them from the timeline, eh? I mean, it is tough, but it is also fair. ;)
I'd just rather play something else first, like 4-6 updates.I can't believe people are against the possibility of others being able to play the game again (or for the first time in my case) on modern consoles other than Xbox.

I guess I just assume that there's only so much to go around for these type of projects. I'm down either way, excitement about remasters will help beget more revamp projects. Not my first choice though.I mean, I would too, but.... no one is giving the caveat of "XIII remaster will come at the cost of no remasters of 4-6". If Square put some effort into 4-6 and advertised they were doing so, I would be totally behind that too!
I think MOST people here are at least half joking. The rerelease will absolutely happen at some point. You can bet on that.
Like with all FF's, it had it's time. I'll happily move on to FF16. Let's all hope it's what this franchise has needed since FF10.
I can't believe there are still people who think there was more than just concepts of Versus 13. If there was more to it than what there was, it wouldn't have been altered so drastically the way it was to get 15 out the door.
I was referring to the visuals. I feel like it's aged really well visually. A sharper U.I. would be nice and I'm sure a remaster could do a locked 60fps no sweatThese are older games than you think. Final Fantasy XIII in particular is 14 years, 4 months old. Many games have received remasters far more quickly than that.
Wouldn't mind picking the trilogy up for Switch if it was announced at the Direct tomorrow.
You're right, I forgot about 12 (arguably the last great SP-entry), but yes 12, 14 and to some extent 15 are good entries and I say this not having been able to play 14, sadly. The word of mouth and roaring success is enough to believe it though.This line confsues me. What has the franchise been missing since FF10 that it "needs" to get back? Because since then we've had:
FF11: an MMO that is surprisingly still running with a dedicated user base, despite being only just a little bit younger than 10.
FF12: A game that, despite my personal indifference towards, has a dedicated set of fans who believe THIS was the pinnacle game of the series and after THIS where the franchise started to decline.
FF13: A dedicated group of fans, as proven by this thread. Most likely introduced a new set of fans to the series, being the first FF released for a new generation.
FF14: A massively successful MMO that is argued to have THE best story of the franchise's history.
FF15: A huge open world RPG that (again, despite my own personal dislike for) introduced a new set of fans to the series, again most likely due to it being the first mainline FF to be released on a new generation of consoles.
I keep trying to say this, but it never has any effect...I can't believe there are still people who think there was more than just concepts of Versus 13. If there was more to it than what there was, it wouldn't have been altered so drastically the way it was to get 15 out the door.
Well you're in luck, cause they haven't done that for pretty much any of their remasters/ports. Almost all of them have been outsourced, either to Virtuos (for remasters), various UK studios (for many of the ports), or a bunch of other small external studios elsewhere.I'd rather if they didn't use resources at SE to remaster this.
It would be pretty sweet if they removed having to unlock new levels of the Crystarium through story progression, but then they'd have to basically rebalance all of the encounters.I looked for it after a recent thread on XIII-2 and was surprised it didn't exist. I'd buy it for XIII-2 alone. Hell, even XIII would be great if they just went back and changed the pace at which the battle system opens up.
Yes, there is no real demand for such games to be remastered. If you pay attention, they are going out of their way to avoid those. They remaster everything else even TWEWY but that.

Some people seem to subconsciously believe that Versus XIII was secretly some awesome, near-finished game with a great story and completed assets, etc., and that Square just decided to mess it up for shits and giggles. I doubt there was actually much more to Versus XIII beyond what was made for its few trailers.
I'd rather they put their resources into remastering better games, like Vagrant Story or Final Fantasy Tactics.
Although XIII-2 was good at least.
They can't even be bothered to rerelease one of their best games ever, Final Fantasy Tactics. Why would they bother with Final Fantasy XIII?
No, they made the game better. But that game is stuck on the psp. The only way to play it on a modern system, is through your phone. I just can't play games for an extended period of time on a phone. I'd legit pay full price for a rerelease version on modern systems. I doubt I'll get a sequel, so I'll take a rerelease of the original.Did War of the Lions drop the ball or butcher Tactics in some way that I missed out on?

I love War of the Lions, but frankly there's no definitive version.Did War of the Lions drop the ball or butcher Tactics in some way that I missed out on?
As in they are aware of how badly the games are perceived. It's damn near devil may cry 2 tierHow can you go out of your way to NOT remaster something?
"Hey Bill, I'm going to need you to go out of your way and head down to the Final Fantasy Remaster plant.They just got done with FF12, and FF13 is on the conveyor belt. I know it's going to cost our company a lot of time and resources to stop this remaster from happening, but it's really important you do so."
True, they could probably squeeze them into 32GB.
