Tactics Remaster yes please

Would have preferred an 8 remake but 9 is a good game
8 & 9 are my favourites.
And yes please to Tactics remaster/remake. Tactic RPGs is my favourite genre.

No question, it was on the NVidia leak too.... I never played it and I am very curious.

Anyone that played it, what did you think?

Loved it. Im intrigued how the characters and art style will be. FF7 had so much since the game release, with side games, movies etc. Personally I wouldn’t mind FF7Remake esq combat or turned based

I fully expect this to be closer to a 1:1 remake, with some areas being expanded or interconnected better so there's no loading screens. As for combat, it's hard to say if turn-based is a foregone conclusion. It really depends on their goals for this remake.

It doesn't really matter to me, personally. I'll play it regardless.

What I want now though, is a remake of VIII. It could benefit from some story and mechanical changes. But most importantly, I want to wander the halls of a high fidelity 2023 version of Balamb Garden.

I assumed I would love it back then, I love the look of it... However it bored me, so I never got to the end of it.

This is some people's favorite FF game and it god a great reception. So don't necessarily listen to me.

It's much better than FF VIII.
It got a great reception among longtime fans but late 90s normies disliked Zidane the catboi.

Fwiw: I am expecting a smaller level of output than 7 remake, something like Worldd of Final Fantasy or the last Crystal Chronicles release. All of Square's top teams are busy right now, this just has to be outsourced or, worse, Tokyo RPG Factory.
