"This is different! This is not what I am used to!"

To be fair, when you're selling a game almost entirely on nostalgia, and the only reason you're making it is because fans of the original game have basically spent the last 20 years saying they wish you'd remake it with better graphics, changing literally every single significant thing about it is probably the most phenomenally stupid thing you can do.



Props for the Brian Regan reference, though:

I'm disappointed that it doesn't use the same combat system as the original game and it's one third of it at most. Good job Squeenix, all you had to do is just give a new coat of paint, add voice acting, and possibly some extra content. (2/3's that you have already done decently). Not a ****ing re-imagining.

I'm more annoyed by the fact that they've openly admitted that they're rewriting elements of the plot and quest progression, so it's apparently less a remake or re-release than it is a re-adaptation of the original work.

It's part of why I have zero interest in this. "Hey, remember that game you loved once? The one that's had a huge nostalgic impact on your life? Well, we're remaking it! Except we're changing how it looks. And how it sounds. And how it plays. And how some of the characters look. And we've adding voice-acting, which will probably be mediocre at best and terrible at worst. And we're changing large chunks of the plot. And we're breaking it up into episodic releases. But hey, in spite of being an almost entirely different game in every way, we're hoping your nostalgia will trick you into buying it regardless!"

It also doesn't help that, in the current climate, I'm half-expecting it to eventually be revealed that they put microtransactions in there somewhere.
