[@Killer_Kool7]

@@martmandred9182 shut up

[@Artimes.]

He was just voicing his opinion. I think it needs to be said that these games truly are an experience that some fans really hold dear to their heart and these games have such lasting memories and stories that never are forgotten even 20 years later and I am not just taking about FF, but many rpgs of the classic era. That being said, its understandable why some fans would be absolutly devestated if such a great masterpiece was tarnished or ruined in the form of a remake. Some games are just meant to not be touched by human hands and preserved as they are. FF VII is one such game that has gone through so much deconstruction that it no longer has that kind of appeal anymore because its been altered and changed so much from the original concept. As much as I would love to see more remakes, I just hope that they can do these games justice and not completly change the original formula. All we want are remakes of the source material not a damn reboot that is an entirely different story.

[@JohnDWJ]

@@Artimes. Couldn't agree more. Some of these games lend themselves well to remake. Others are distilled away from what made them great to begin with. I played the FFVII remake and found myself deeply torn by it in the end. Beyond that I think some games remain perfect in vintage form. Aka need not be remade. Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger are as amazing today as they ever were. Still beautiful and aged like a fine wine. The imagination on display is a revelation to this day.

@@Killer_Kool7 You shut up. If you have nothing of value to add, just keep your stupid remarks to yourself loser.

[@greyfox37]

I also loved how the characters came and went on their own agendas too. Made it perfect for strategies with different skills and also plot movement was perfect with it. I loved in the Advance version how everyone united at the end, had their own trials on Mt Ordeals, and you could take them to the moon. That was definitely perfect. I hope a 3rd remake implements that.

CECIL starts as a Dark Knight and has to purify himself as Palladin, whereas GUTS starts in the Light side but after certain _spoilers_ event, he gotta become more gruesome, hence he has this period in which his Mind and Heart fall into Darkness the Strongest he gets, cause he has to, given how the world changed after he survived _that_ event....

Same... so long as by "HD remake" you mean they remake *everything* in HD, including the combat graphics & animations (which would basically be like making a new game).

[@martmandred9182]

Agreed, unlike the remake of 7. They did improved it, but the battle sequence is kinda a bit complicated(Not that i don't like, of course). More importantly, the VA. The new VA for Cloud is kinda......off. He talked like he's kinda not that serious anymore. It's missing my favorite character vibe. And Sephiroth's VA is not that convincingly chilling unlike the original. The FF7 antagonist i remember, is when he talks in ominously quiet voice, really gives a shiver down my spine. Hope in the FF4 remake, they retain the original VA. I kinda like the original since it's suits the character.

[@Kylesaystuff]

@@martmandred9182As Japanese If you play with Japanese voice over it actually fits a lot since all the voice actor is the original one. Don't know why they choose to switch the entire VC for English. Also, the Japanese version is the actual script rather than like a cultured adaption for English(They completely change the dialogue and characteristics for English to make it more American but it is still good cuz it can be suitable for the western gamer but they completely change their emotions and story. That's why in China and Japan we gave this game 10/10 but in the west is more like an 8/10.

Final Fantasy IV was the last great game where all of the characters were truly individuals. Only select characters could use magic and everyone truly brought something special to the party. I love all the games that proceeded it, but I love IV the best.

[@spencerb891]

It’s my 2nd favorite. The characters and story are so good and were so ahead of its time!

[@Sad-Lesbian]

IX literally does that too though?

[@recklesflam1ngo968]

uh no? There is 6, 9, ect?

[@howlingdin9332]

@@recklesflam1ngo968 9 yes, in 6 you can use Magicite to teach any magic to any party member.

[@jnoone2099]

@@howlingdin9332 6 truly gave you so much freedom to play and every character had unique traits as well as desperation attacks.

I love FF! Amazing games that will always have a place in my heart

[@genjixi7589]

we all gotta take a time and really look back at all the FF series stories, battle, music, hero and villan they truly were a good story teller my childhood would not be complete without it

[@impulsikk3815]

Oh wow. So this is where the boss in shadowbringers came from. Pretty cool.

It never dawned on me just how much of a spoiler this intro video is, first time you watch it (assuming you didn't already know the plot) it just looks epic, but there's so many key story moments here. Cecil's class change, the Towers, Kain's betrayal, the Lunar Whale, Edge's vendetta with Rubricante, Rydia's very rapid aging.

I miss when FF games had airships. You had to walk your ass off that map for days until you were able to get a ship, and then cross every ocean possible until you finally got it. Simpler times 😂

[@lolitahaze02]

Thats why I love playing the Tales series too. Because of the airship. XD

[@greghannibal]

Now you follow a linear path for 40 hours before getting the option to go back!

[@articusramos808]

The other alternatives is a flying chocobo and gate crystals....or a train. ... or Figario
