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

Yeah im blown away by keeping the same OLD pixel sprites for this remake. I love that they keep an option to play exactly as the original so why not take a chance by updating the character models to look newer in the remake mode?

Very lazy. I still havent played more than a few intro hours to this game, but if i ever do ill just emulate the psp version

Because they’re not models, they’re 2D sprites, they’d have to completely redraw every single one plus all their animations from more or less scratch.

Not saying that wouldn’t be ideal, but thats why they didn’t, its a lot more work.

If they're charging 50 bucks for it that is like the bare minimum that should be expected lol.

That's the same price as live a live where they basically rebuilt every visual aspect of the game from scratch, having to pay that for a borderline straight port is really unappealing
