    Hoping this includes a PC release that isn’t a year+ behind consoles

      I’m with you. All I wanted for 7 was a graphical update and instead you got alternate dimensions bullshit.

      Original VII is great how it is. I was happy to have an alternate telling for the remakes.

      Unlike VII, VIII has always been ugly and needs a graphical upgrade to match their over ambitious models for the hardware. Also needs a combat overhaul so it’s not so super easy, and draw is not so tedious.

      Tactics original is pretty, but could use some QoL updates.

        VIII has always been ugly

        I don’t agree with this. It definitely wasn’t considered ugly back when it was new. In fact, I believe the over ambitious models for the hardware as you put them were considered a big improvement compared to VII’s.

          I think the battle sprites look amazing, but in the field, the details on the models get squished into too few pixels, and it’s a jarring juxtaposition against the beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds. I can remember some reviewers sharing my opinion at the time, but you might be right that calling it ugly is a bit much.

          Agreed. To me, VII was always the ugly one in the series. Unfortunately I played VIII first and was blown away at the technical marvel the game is.

          Afterwards I played VII as a kid and it was unplayable. It felt like playing with cheap, homemade, wooden dolls. It was always the game that needed a remake the most.

    Hope they get the sound right this time. And fix the effects slowdown glitch. And don’t introduce new weirdness.
