Why a FF8 remake wouldn't have been a sales flop

>shock the old audience for controversybux by making R=U canon.
>Ample room to rewrite Irvine, Quistis, Zell and Selphie to give them oodles of personality and appeal.
>School-based settings are extremely popular for a whole host of reasons.
>Remake Triple Triad into a Gwent-style phenomenon with online play for longevity.
>Battle system can be remade from the ground up, as long as it focuses on GFs. FF7's summoning system would be much more at home here.

This would have been the kino modern RPG success.

Selphie already had plenty of personality fag

Does FF8 have the most summons out of every FF?

fpbp

Selphie likes trains, that's enough for me.

>This would have been the kino modern RPG success.
Not really, you would have found something to complain and call it a flop.

i just want to fuck quistis

FFVIII is one of the best Final Fantasys anyways so i'd prefered it over VII but that's just my taste.
Based

not him but as long as it had turn based combat i'd be on board

I think she needs the least rewriting, but they could take her interest in trains and translate that into something that makes the fact she's a special operations child soldier more apparent. Or that she's from a different school and culture.

The whole time jannies thing from 7 Remake would actually fit in with 8.

Ultimecia literally is a time jannie.

Does she do it for free though ?

I like her simple... she's just a free and simple cute girl.

Can you imagine the looks on people's faces if at the end of 7 Remake the leader of the Time Jannies appear as a boss and it IS Ultemecia?

Who is the best Character and why is it Seifer ?

It's unironically Squall. He's absolutely based. Best portrayal of a weird autist thrown into ridiculous situations.

and when you defeat Ultimecia, you have to fight Necron on Terra

I would've left Squall dead at the end of Disc 1 and pick up with a Traumatized Seifer free from the Sorceress Spell because of being instrumental for the murder of his school rival.

Nobody remembers this game. I wouldn’t have remembered those names if you didn’t type them out. It was a forgettable and bad game. A remake would sell a few hundred thousand copies max

>forgettable
oh no no no... he used too many gf's

Reminder that Ultimecia didn't actually have any innate power over time. She had to use Odine's machine to travel to the past in order to manipulate the real time wizard Ellone.

Problem is you are thinking like a sane person.

Nomura would have made it about dimensional beings with keyblades and turned the combat into press x for everything.

That's specifically what they wouldn't do. All FF remakes have kept everything the same and transferred it into a new graphical engine. No improvements to story, gameplay, flow or design. The one exception to this is FFVII Remake. But despite having massive gameplay and story changes, it's not the stuff they should have changed.

And since Nomura and Nojima would be in charge of a FFVIII reboot, it would be a disaster.
She and all the others did have a personality. But the translation was still horrible. Every characters personality was really different than the original Japanese. Especially for Squall and Zell. The game doesn't need a full remake. Just a new translation.

Judging by how shit the FFVII remake is, I'd be happier if they left VIII alone

Q=U is a better theory.

I think you are confusing remasters with remakes, which only ff7 has got that treatment

>Selphie likes trains
I wish I liked anything socially acceptable. Even train autists are more tolerable than gamers.

yeah, you are THAT mediocre

Turn-based > Real-time

I will fight you, nigger.

No, they are nothing alike and one isnt better than the other.

You could say that for anything, you dung-brained centrist fuck

FF1-4 also got remakes. They didn't change or improve the story in those games. Just added weak bonus dungeons or cinematics.
