If you could have Square Enix remake any single Final Fantasy which would you choose? (lemmy.world)

For me, it’s one of two choices:

Final Fantasy VIII - It’s one of my favourite entries in the series and think they’ve ignored it far too much over the years. There’s a lot they could do with it, not just visually, but with the story and mechanics too.

Final Fantasy Tactics - This game is just fantastic all round, and I can’t say any more than that.

What would you choose?

FFT. You can play a remastered FF7 on modern consoles and on Steam. FFT can only be played on PSX, PSP, and Android. Also strategy RPGs are making a comeback with games like Triangle Strategy. Tactics Ogre Reborn did well. Let's get FFT out there.

Excellent choice ;) It’s another in the franchise that needs some love, I think. Maybe the success of other SRPGs will give SE something to think about, and put it under consideration.

FWIW Tactics is also on iOS/iPadOS.

Yeah I didn't know because I don't have Apple products. I think SE could make bank by just re-releasing these games so players who have portable systems like the Steam Deck can play.

100%, and that is why people always end up emulating these games. They’re missing out on a lot of cash by holding these back. While we’re on it, they need to do something about Vagrant Story, too.

They could expand their franchise so much. It could reach into different genres. Turn-based rpgs, strategy rpgs, action rpgs, card games, moba, etc. They don't have to be limited to rpgs. They have a lot of content and a strong brand to work with.

The same Nvidia leak where we initially learned about Reborn and other games that have since been revealed also mentioned a Final Fantasy Tactics remake/remaster/something of the sort, so I’m expecting an announcement in the next year or so!

Technically FFT Advance was available on the GBA, but it's only the same game mechanically. IIRC the story is different.

FFTA is a completely different game with different mechanics. The job system, skill system, battle mechanics (judges), world building, playable characters. It really only kept the common theme between games like item and spell names. Oh and Cid.
