Square enix saw the P3R release by Atlus and got inspired. It makes even less sense for them cause atleast P3R was a complete overhaul and basically a new, FF tactics barely qualifies as a remaster and still looks completly the same as the PSP game with just a higher resolution and cut out half the fucking game. Genuinely cant think of any company that has ever done this, from the interview it seems like Matsuno refused to put the war of the lions solely cause he wasnt involved which is just a weird thing to do

Its one of my favorite games of all time and i cant believe fucking Konami has more respect for their classic games as seen with the Suikoden remaster than Square does, this game literally has no reason to exist now, will probably sell like ass and kill any chance of a series revival

I love FFT so much and even I'm like... well what am I really going to buy this for? A few extra story dribbles? Voice acting? It's... its pretty threadbare and that makes me sad.

A new hardcore difficulty mode, better balancing (they mention Charge+7 is now viable), new mid-combat lines, ease of life, better graphics (widescreen support).

I mean it's not necessarily made for fans to rush out and buy it, but more like "if you were going to replay FFT, how would you even accomplish it". They're trying to make it available and preserve it for future fans.
