How would you feel about a remake or remaster of [FFXIII]?
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.
It'd be cool, but I still think it's too soon. Crisis Core was originally a handheld game, so there was a bigger leap in technology involved. 13 looked amazing for its time, on a much more powerful platform, so there's not as much room for improvement. And even so, Crisis Core never would have happened if not for tying in with FF7 Remake.
An all-in-one package with all DLC would be great. It would be less of a remaster and more of a re-release.
I like their games and I want them to continue making more, so they need to make things that are profitable. So port FFXVI to PC and Xbox even though I have beaten it already, make all of the FFVII content even though I don't even like VII, make a mobile game that I won't play.
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.
it has a very matrix-y feel, sure, but the plot could hold up very nicely as a series. also the battle system was pretty good albeit much different and might do well with a remake/rebirth style update
also i just think lightning is so amazing (no spoilers; i've only just started it on my steam deck)
If by remake you mean throw out the plot and characters and redo the whole thing. Was not a fan of that game at all. The battle system was weird but OK.
I think they stole the whole damn combat system including specific break timings and combos from Xenosaga, so I'd like them to remake those three games first.
