Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

Should they remake for PS3?

Personally, I would love to see FF8 remade on one of the later systems now. The game was really one of the first ones I ever played, and it was also what originally got me interested in types of characters and plot, which lead me to writing.

Just the thought of seeing a better looking Rinoa and Squall, and of course Seifer, is amazing. On the PS1 version, they are all pixely lol!

And can you imagine some of the cut videos? My god, they look good even now for a playstation 1 game, imagine them on a system with some real graphics. The alien scene, amazing. The dancing movie would be great as well.

What you guys think?

I think that'd be awesome as well! I love VIII as well and thought the CG graphics were amazing, except for the characters in the engine game. =/ Squall looked like he has a lipstick on or something. >.<

Hmm, but I really doubt SE would take the time to remake FFVIII. They're focusing on other things now, spinoffs of VII included. And I think it's still kinda too soon to remake VIII. But yeah, it'd be cool to play with the idea.

Good lord no. As much as I love this game it seems utterly pointless. It could lead into pointless sequels, with a rerelease, and I don't want that to ruin my interest in VIII, as it has done with VII.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few sequels, but that would be later down the road. Really, it would be hard for them to make sequels I think...I mean they covered pretty well everything in the game.

But ya, a remake for PS3 would be awesome. lol, imagine the scene when Squall is running from the machine monster after going to the satellite tower or whatever, (The SeeD mission). It would be awesome to see that in the PS3 graphics.

It would be cool, I guess.. but as long as they just kept it as a remake, no VIII compilation, as then the game would lose its awsomeness, as Rulia stated.

I think Squareenix should move from the PS3 to something better. Like the XBOX360, and then consider a remake.

I think they should start making spinoffs for FF8 like they did for FF7. I believe they should be for the PS3 or other system with good graphics. That would be awesome.

If they did, i'd rather them improve the game and put in a pack with other classic FF games, i'm not paying 50 something pounds for a game i've already got that just has improved graphics.

Seconded. It would be pointless. I'd only want it remade for graphics and Voiceovers. But I think I could live without them. Maybe I wouldn't mind if you could have Seifer and Laguna at the end. But... Otherwise I just say no. It'd ruin the images in our minds that we already have of this game that are so beautiful and precious.
