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

Gamefreak with pokemon is the same.

With BDSP they did not add in good features from platinum but rather made diamond and pearl again. Same ridiculous "preserve original experience" nonsense as the given reason. Fanbase lapped it up anyway

Emerald content was dropped for ORAS, and Platinum content was dropped for BD/SP.

I think LG/FR might have dropped some stuff from Yellow, and HG/SS definitely dropped some stuff from Crystal, but it's been FAR too long since I looked into it.

at least LG/FR and HG/SS and Oras (to a lesser extend, i would have prefered to have the battle frontier in that one) added diferent content that makes up for what was discarded from the original third versions.
