Square upgraded the games. They were the ones to provide the 4K cutscenes.
Yet they will also be the ones that provide the remaster with many more extras.
I agree with your point btw as its relevant that Square did those things, but I don't believe they did it in PLACE of a remaster or port or collection etc. In terms of business, never see this idea as in the company is um "full" as in they got all that they wish for or that they are satisfied etc, that simply doesn't exist in business. The goal is to make as much money as they can, not some, not to a degree, not until they are full and desire nothing else etc....its to keep making money.
Its why I always question why people bring up OTHER ports on why a company won't port to another system. Someone once said FFVII would not be ported to PS4 because they already did a port to PS3 and a port to PC, I gave the classic lolz. They ported FFVII to PS3, even with PS3 being fully BC with PS1... they remade FFVII on PS4, even with PS4 having a port in HD of FFVII....none of that shit matters to Square. They are not simply JUST doing a 4K update and like "ok everyone, our job here is done, no more money to be made" lol
Massively unlikely.
Let me remind you this is the same company that ported KH collection to PS3 and then to PS4 and then AGAIN to PS4 in ANOTHER PACKAGE Lol... we will very likely see some 4K collection, remaster, directors cut, definitive edition etc.
This update won't stop them from making a remaster as even the KH collection port didn't stop them from doing another port with KH3 thrown in, not sure why this update would ever be relevant in stopping a remaster on XB, the system they sell the fucking least on. Think about it, on PS4, a massive install base....that never stopped them from making several KH collection ports on the same system. but the worst selling system for Squares games having BC will make them feel "full" and be like "well we made all the money we can off of this"? unlikely. Even if PS4 had BC and that game had the same treatment on PS5 like some 4K update, I'd still say you will see a remaster. They want to make as much as they can make and I don't feel BC on XB is a limit to Square lol

#1. That has nothing to do with Square, they are not Sony nor MS.
#2. What ever they add in some remaster, will likely not be anything they put in some update like 4K cutscenes, as in BC doesn't make new modesl appear and give extra content etc, BC also doesn't just magical make games appear that you NEVER OWNED, so someone who never played that collection of games, will likely buy a collection vs let me hunt down a bunch of used games for 4K cutscenes when this collection is giving an extra boss, new textures, new models etc.
I'd ask for a remaster even if I fucking owned those games lol I also don't own what ever Square would do that some remaster sir....
