VII is actually my favorite FF, but despite all the problems with Compilation material I've felt particularly negative about it. Maybe because it never feels like anything dumb is directly done with the old cast, they're just stuck in dumb fan-ficcy scenarios against bad OC villains. Even with all the poor decisions made for VII Remake, the whole shit with the time ghosts means they effectively negated any chance of Remake getting touted by morons as a definitive replacement for the original, so I'm free to ignore it if I want.

But IX is my second-favorite FF, and I feel it's more in danger of a remake doing stupid shit because basically none of the original IX staff are working at Square anymore and just about everything about it doesn't fit well with the sorts of games Square has been making for the past decade plus. It's also more likely to have morons saying it's a definitive replacement for the original, which would make it harder to ignore.
 
I think my big question for 9 is the scope of it. Is it a full blown remake like 7 or is it some weird 2.0 remaster with upscaled graphics? something like Live A Live I guess.

I love 9, but, it really shows the priority when they remake everything and skip 8, the one no one likes.

This is a more recent shift in opinion, everyone liked it at the time and a while afterwards. Last 10ish years that's been changing, but it's good.

It's way too big, they'd "need" to break it into parts again like FF7 if they did a proper remake and even then I hear FF7R doesn't capture the scope of the original, but I haven't played beyond the first boss.

And not a single one of you can defend this game.

So yeah, it's an alright game but they really missed the mark.

How was the Live A Live remaster? I've actually got it here but never got around to playing it.

I really liked it. I bought it before I knew the localization had whitewashed some of the funnier/edgier dialogue, but it's a really interesting idea for an RPG. Haven't played anything quite like it before or since. The pacing is tight and it has a decent amount of replayability. Highly recommend.

They should remake FFX-2. In fact, there should be a line of games just based around cute dresspheres.

Nah that'd be fine since I already consider FFX to be pretty mediocre :)

They should do a prequel where you play as Braska, Jecht and Auron. They should also have Jecht record the whole thing to connect it to X, at the same time act like Ferris Bueller.
