your lips to my ears, as an ffviii fan
square recently released beautiful art for ffvii's anniversary, and ffix's anniversary, and genuinely did nothing for ffviii's anniversary

Oh you mean like Secret of Mana?

No. Like FFVII remake for instance. They had chibis in the original, and in the remake they have realistically proportioned characters. They didn't make better chibis, they just replaced them with a different style.
But I'm gonna mention good examples of this not happening: Spyro, Crash.
Secret of Mana was an attempt to preserve the style but in 3D. People didn't like the result, but a big part of that is people are infinitely more forgiving of pixel art than 3D, and how cheap it was. Still, we could've finally had some example of HD pixel art. Does that even exist or is something pixel art lends itself to? Cause almost every pixel art game I see has base resolution of 270p, 360p, or about that.

Well the Secret of Mana Remake does look cheap.

Sounds cheap too. The music being dukey is one of the things people talked about. The actually good version of Danger went completely unused too

Don't feel too bad for them. Squenix released FF VIII Remastered more recently than it did IX, and they'll probably look to it once IX is remade and perhaps successful. I think with IX they probably believe they can make something that leans more on aesthetic than detail, while VIII may look like an VII-like affair to them and it'd have to be a remake with several A's attached that they can't make now, so they aren't paying it too much attention.

A remake is supposed to be in HD, isnt it? Anyway Silent Hill, the first masterpiece of team silent is a must and devil my cry 3; a remake with style switcher is what that game needs for be perfect.

I'm a complete PSX/2/P nerd, I just can't pick even a top 10 of them. I would ask for like 50-70% of the catalogues from all 3 consoles minimum. Things like S.C.A.R.S. and the Hot Wheels games from the PSX; both Pursuit Forces, Midnight Club LA Remix, the Bleach games, TW Head-on from PSP; Crash 'n Burn, Psi-Ops, Killzone from PS2; ALL the Ace Combats from the 3 consoles.
I could go all day.

Final Fantasy VII

 

[Moreno909]

They should remake Star Fox 1 & 2, not change a lot of the graphics, still flat polygons, but with unlocked frames. Like the Virtua Racing remake for the switch. The same approach for all early 3D good games

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

The Ace combat trilogy of PS2 as a remaster, AC3 as a remake.

And a server of FFXIV 1.23b, that would be amazing. Or just the FF11 remake that got canceled... we where so close to greatness.

Chrono Trigger because way back in the day we got a taste of what a 3d remake would be like only for the project to get a cease and desist from Square. I'm talking about Chrono Resurrection.

i'd say vagrant story

This cuz it would be nice with better tutorials and without the long loading time

 

[Kitsuneet]

Skies of Arcadia / Eternal Arcadia

 

[Questless Knight]

The first 4 .hack games just like they did with GU. But it will not happen becuse Bandai don´t care about shit that don´t print money.

Xenosaga 1-3 hell I would be bloody glad for orginal games just to be ported to modern consoles + PC

Freelancer "would love for just the same game just better looking thank god for mods but would be nice to see a graphical overhaul.

 

[Shihainin]

For sure Phantasy Star 0, especially if it were on PC. Honestly a great entry in the series, and often an overlooked one at that. It feels more like a successor to the original PSO than Universe-style games, or PSO2. The real achilles heel of this game was being on the DS. Its a cool gimmick I guess, but it really hindered what could've been, especially for the online play.

Vandal Hearts I&II (the Combatsystem of the 2nd has to be changed)

What's wrong with VH2's combat system? I know many players have criticized it, but I never understood why. The dynamic of the enemy acting at the same time as your unit I always found very original, not to mention that the CPU becomes quite predictable.

Star Ocean: Til the End of Time!!!

A total remake to fix the sound design(it was so bad) and to just freshen up the look would be great.

 

[thanatos]

Mother 1,2,3 in the style of 3, but with HD/4K sprites.

You're talking about a fangame, not something Square was making.
