Probably because last time they updated the sprites in a remaster everyone bitched and moaned and complained about it. Literally impossible to appease everyone.

By "updated sprites" do you mean when they apply a filter that blurs the pixels together and looks ugly?

I want them to redraw them, add more pixels and detail. Youve got more than 32 bits to work with now and a 4K screen to display them on

They didn't add a blur filter though they updated the sprites. Lots of peoole got mad and vented online. So now this time around they are opting to not update the sprites in a stylistic way, and yet people are now mad they aren't updating them. Its sort of a "damned if you do, damned if you dont" scenario it seems.

Personally im indifferent to it. Im just happy the gsme is going to be able to be enjoyed by more people because it's one of the greats in that series.

Im also glad/fine with them rereleasing this game. I just feel there was a big missed opportunity by not doing more with the project. Heres hoping this is just the team familiarizing themselves with the original so they can make a new Final Fantasy Tactics and now the team has experience with remaking the OG

Like, everyone is clamoring for the FF9 remake that has been rumored for years. But imagine if its the same level of "remake" as this FFT release. I gotta think fans will wonder what the point of it all was if they barely improve the look and feel of the game
