Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? (lemmings.world)

Seems like a goldmine of content for them to work on for the next decade+. Plenty of people will never experience these worlds or stories due to the turn-based combat, so giving them the Remake treatment could be the only way an audience ever finds them.

I would like to see FF8 remade next. It's the next logical choice becauase 8 comes after 7 and it's a solid world to leave the FF7 rut for.

The rest could be good, too, but FF8 would probably be the easiest to pull off successfully.

Personally I would like to see the whole remaster/remake trend end as soon as possible. Let's stop selling the same games multiple times, with considerably increased price tag every time.

While some remakes are decent and make sense (e.g. Resident Evil remakes, though even they aren't perfect), most are just plain money grabs. Remade into a third-person action adventure with RPG elements, if they weren't already. With generic Unreal graphics, poor optimization, worse or no modding support.

Old games are great, easy to run, and can be bough for pennies. What exactly makes a remake so appealing? Better graphics? No offence to anyone, but I feel like people who care so much about graphics don't even play games.

I think I'll continue to ignore the new rereleases, with very rare exceptions, and keep having a blast with the originals. If game companies can't be bothered to put in the effort and make some new, interesting titles, then I guess they'll be making zero money from me.
