Support NeoGAF

And by "longtime" Square Enix fans, I mean those who enjoyed their games before the merger in 2003.
(although anyone is welcome to post here)

In this hypothetical scenario, which one would you choose:

For the next 10 years, you could have Square Enix either,

#1 - Continue business as usual.

or

#2 - Spend the next 10 years exclusively remaking or remastering every game published before the 2003 merger.

 

[Valt7786]

As much as new games are definitely preferable, when you compare FF7R to FF15, yeah, I'd rather they just remade 8 and 9 in 7R style thanks.

I didn't get to play their games before the merger. As long as they keep giving me dragon quest remakes in vein of octopath traveler I am happy.

 

[sublimit]

Continue business as usual.

(I have been playing their games since 1998)

 

[YukiOnna]

Continue business as usual as I'm pretty content with how they're doing. Although, they should off load the western studios since I don't care about them.

 

[RoboFu]

Only remake that would make me loose my shit would be a FF6 in the same way as FF7 remake except no altered storyline.

 

[cireza]

Having new games.

 

[MagiusNecros]

New games pls. Because a remake of "The Spirits Within" ain't happening.

 

[HotPocket69]

A serious question for longtime GAF fans. Who’s been making dumber threads? German Hops or Marty-McFly ?

 

[Corgi1985]

FF7 is bad stop making ff7 games

 

[Captain Toad]

FF7 is great. Remake more of the classic Final Fantasy games.

 

[Captain Toad]

A serious question for longtime GAF fans. Who’s been making dumber threads? German Hops or Marty-McFly ?

Marty-McFly hands down

 

[Kenpachii]

Remake FFX

 

[ManaByte]

Rename FFXV back to its original title and let a different team make a replacement FFXV that doesn't suck shit.

 

[DGrayson]

More new games so I guess it business as usual.

I dont need remakes/remasters I just need good ports of old games on PC.

 

[Saint Boot]

If they aren't going to remake their ps1 rpgs like Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story, then remasters would be nice at the very least.

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

Definitely remakes, this square of modern day couldn’t put together a decent games in 10+ year, and no FF XV was rubbish.

 

[TLZ]

Remake everything that's too old; PS1 and back. Those would also look and feel new.

 

[Kilau]

I want a remake of FF7 remake.

 

[Shifty1897]

Half of the remasters they've done are bad, soooo business as usual.

 

[Sander Cohen]

Whenever the question of this type is asked, I always pick new games. Always.

Continuous progress and looking to the future, not living in the past.

Don’t worry, Dragon Quest XII and FF XVI are going to be stellar, I can feel it.

 

[Ailike]

No one here needs a remaster of Brave Fencer Musashi or Vagrant Story. It certainly wouldnt be worth the investment. The only thing that would make them money would be FF6, and I dont need a remake that rewrites the story to Kefka's deep deep backstory they just made up or a side DLC that shows how Relm's dad became Gogo or some nonsense.

 

[majestix1988]

make a better authentic Final fantasy Series....

15 is a trash due open world that somewhat a sandbox with little interaction when traveling with repeating conversation or RECIPEH!! adding the characters skills or uniqueness so meh that need to select them to show their uniqueness(while their AI SO bland so trashy and forgettable party members + their build progression is such well so lacking..)its beautiful boy band traveling showing graphics showcase about weapons MEH its just no feeling on it even elementals weapons or other things) even that npc talks about legendary weapons...somewhat being bland and boring to do
.....only fishing minigame is good on XV
13 is a linearity exploration that has potential on battle system that lacks on character progression due upgrade linearity while weapon is just upgrade with no unique feeling on it

type-0 is more okay due its reallly hits its story and gameplay due its warlike experience adding old overworld traveling + its character progression mostly uniques on those students.....men thats good game that trashed so much by a remaster(i would prefer to play the translated PSP version)

 

[Sander Cohen]

M majestix1988 I think I got damage trying to read that

 

[Arachnid]

Whichever one gives me more Deus Ex games in the next decade idk

 

[Kokoloko85]

Remake Parasite Eve, FF4-9. Bring back Chrono Trigger Or a sequel. FFX3

I still want new games though. FF16 and Dragon Quest sequel are good enough.

 

[German Hops]

A serious question for longtime GAF fans. Who’s been making dumber threads? German Hops or Marty-McFly ?

The answer is yo mama

 

[Hestar69]

Why not both? Make new FF games/New games and remake old games like xenogears and other ps1/ps2 games.

 

[Javthusiast]

Like DQ11 so far. Loved FF7R and FF16 looks very promising.

DQ12 and FF7R2 on the way. I say just continue as is.

Oh, stop it with the mediocore Avengers etc. GaaS and do stuff like Deus Ex and reboot Tomb Raider with OG Lara design.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

A mixture of both to be honest.

Which is business as usual.

 

[TheContact]

Just remaster xenogears

 

[Great Hair]

The Japanese market will perish over the next 10 years and finally conclude Nintendo´s reign! AMD will be acquired by Tencent and Hollywood will stop producing movies, as studios finally make the jump to CGI! No more shitty Actors, all A.I made up ones! Also Microsoft will shut down Xbox once and for all.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Keep doing what they're doing. I sure don't have a multi-million dollar company. Regardless of whether I love or hate the latest stuff, a lot of someone buys it, something that they're doing is working.

 

[YoshiMadness]

I just want a true sequel to Super Mario RPG, and I want Geno, Mallow, Booster, and Boshi to return.

 

[Pejo]

They don't have the passion or talent to remake any of their classics and not ruin them, so I picked to just do whatever they're going to do. As it is, about 1 out of every 7 or 8 games is worth playing, which is fine. Their blatant disregard for fans with shit like the font for Pixel Remasters ruined any goodwill I might have had left for them.

 

[Hugare]

Only FF 7 has enough weight to its name to make Square plan a AAA remake for it (in multiple parts, nonetheless)

Any other FF game (maybe X) wouldnt generate enough sales.

I expect, maybe, Chrono Trigger remake or DQ VI remake in the future.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

I want them to kill Chaos.

 

[Neolombax]

No more remasters. New games all the way.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Give more power to Nomura. I want sequel to Neo : TWEWY

 

[haxan7]

Business as usual.

I don’t particularly care for any of their remakes but they gotta make that $$$ to push boundaries forward in gaming. Respect the hustle.

 

[Ritsumei2020]

I mean they already announced FF16

They can remake stuff of the side if they want but keep making new ones please,

 

[GymWolf]

Stop raping ff7 corpse please.

 

[GeekyDad]

Well, neither, really. "Business as usual" sounds pretty shitty. I know they're in it to make money, but I think history proves that the big winners for everyone are creative. Keep using those big bucks to invest in good, new creative ideas that fit their particular "thing," whilst still providing us with nostalgic remakes to support advances in their existing series.

 

[Chukhopops]

Make new games, at least when you fuck it up you won’t corrupt the canon of older games.

Although I have to say they made one good remake in the past ten years: Trials of Mana.

 

[reksveks]

Not sure if I count cause I started with ff7 but new stuff is probably my preference.

I also really enjoyed ff7r

 

[Yoboman]

They could do remakes of FF6, 8, 9 with a decent budget but still pre rendered backgrounds and it would look and play amazing without the total overhaul that is FFVII

 

[Ellery]

Wait so are they doing games like they did in the golden era of Final Fantasy or is it the modern day guys that released failures like 13,15 etc.?


In either case I would take new games though, but what I really dream of is Final Fantasy Playstation 1 style turn based games with pre rendered backgrounds.

 

[Griffon]

I'm having a blast getting into the FF14 free trial (both ARR and Heavensward are unlimited free to play).

So, yeah, keep business as usual please. Remakes are boring and don't grow your audience.

 

[Mike Zhang]

I'm a long time squaresoft fan, don't care about enix. I also hope they could do xenogears remake
