I agree with you, but tell me which is easier/cheaper, code + all the creative stuff or only code?MetalMagpie said:
You're going to have to do all the coding either way, but at least with the remake you already have all (or at the very least damn near all) of the creative work done.
I didn't mean to make light of coding work, I meant to say that A is simpler and cheaper than A+B. Nothing more.
Prequel sure go it, I'd certainly give that a go. Sequel well that can go fuck off and die in a large fire. FF X-2 may have had a superb battle system with the nice job aspect but that story was like a bad fanfiction. So yeah on an FF X-3 that continues from FF X-2 .
Pretty much this.SkarKrow said:
Even though FF X isn't exactly my personal favorite when it comes to story or setting, seeing those three team up seems like a blast in comparison to the Yuna/Rikku/Paine debacle we had with FF X-2 (gameplay was still enjoyable though).
And while we're at it, why not give FF IX a prequel as well? I'd love to play a game where Zidane and Freya meet up for the first time.
Well, Final Fantasy X-2 was garbage but I'd still buy it anyway due to the fact that regardless of quality, system or anything else I buy every Final Fantasy game (not including spin-offs).
This is not a conscious choice, it just happens. I mean that, I literally go out and buy consoles just to play Final Fantasy games (most notably Final Fantasy XII and an Xbox 360) totally outside of my own control. I just feel I have to for some reason.

This sounds brilliant. Let me pitch the basics for you Square.
The story centres around Wakka, Kimahri and a new character (who is just there for padding really) as they have a totally rad bro-venture. Like the dress sphere thing from X-2, X-3 will have the Hair Sphere where you can change your abilities with a spiffy new do. Maybe the plot will be about someone ruining Wakka's sick kegger and he wants revenge and maybe to do some pull ups along the way bro, nah mean? All the while they have side missions like Wakka has to dodge child support and try and get the K-Dog laid. Oh and Auron will have a minor cameo where he plays beer pong.
I see nothing wrong with this pitch. Not one thing.

How about focusing on just making the games better? Finish your current projects and such, plus the best thing about Final Fantasy used to be that each game was its own new world to explore, not so much Final in your Fantasy if they're revisits of old places all the time like this is starting to be.
*Crowd of millions stand outside Square Enix, cash in hand, demanding a FF7 remake*
Dev: we're happy to say that, with enough fan support, we're willing to make... a FFX-2 sequel.
*Atomic facepalm*
I honestly don't understand Squares deep seated hatred of money. Why make a sequel to the most critically hated game in the entire series? You could argue this decision is financially justified because of the popularity of the original FFX, but if that's the case then why don't they remake more popular titles in the series? No one here wants this, no one asked for this.
If you watched this you now have cancer. I'm sorry. In all seriousness this is the epitome of everything wrong with the series. We have FF 1-9, 10, 10-2, now a possible 10-3,12,13,13-1,13-2,13-3, agito 13, versus 13 (ff15), and many more. The entire series is a mess. They need to clean house and stream line the series before it's too late. How are new fans supposed to get into the series?

Whoa, whoa, wait a second... maybe I misread all the foreshadowing at the end of X-2, but it seemed like they were implying that final fantasy X-3 already existed, and was called Final Fantasy 7... 
Ehh, I wouldn't mind another game with X's design in it, but if they're willing to revisit such an old IP, it seems like there are other games more deserving of extra attention.

Not just no. Hell no. Of all the FF to sequelize, why the hell would you pick 10? Hell, you already did it once and IT WAS...well, it wasn't horrible but it was still pretty bad. Why in god's name would you WANT to make a third? The story is done! Let it die with some dignity!
Find another FF to sequelize. I hear the kids are salivating for a remake/proper sequel to 7. Make that! In fact, I insist! Leave the better Final Fantasies alone!

As one of the few people who liked X and X2 (X2 is by far one of the weakest non 13/14v1 FF games) a sequel would be pointless, X2 wrapped up the story as good as you could get, (spoiler tagging since i know a HD remake of X/2 are coming out soon
We don't need a 3 since there is no continuation, unless X-3 is a Megaman X like affair and takes place many years into he future, but if that's the case just bloody rename the world and call it FF15 or 16.
As someone else said, as much as FF9 WHICH IS THE BEST AND ANY OTHER OPINIONS IS JUST LETTING THE TERRORISTS WIN... ahum, HD would make me have to sit cross legged for a while. I'd rather them just focus on more world and more compete games rather than just jumping on the sequel train.
we saw the Post Sin rebuilding progress, we had the two love birds Reunite, the 2 Waring factions make peace, Lulu and Wakka have a child and the reintroduction of machines into he world

Well really will it live up to the hype if that were the case? Sure they can remake the game, mainly entirely by scratch which is costly and time consuming (see Final Mix HD since more of the Master Rom was gone), and also you have to ask if people will actually buy it. People will always say they will, but saying doesn't always equate to actually doing, because if that were the case then F-Zero and Metroid would have sold more copies than they did.Fox12 said:
Finally, if Square were to screw it up somehow the amount of hate and anger they'd get for doing so would be absolutely scary to watch, and something's telling me that Square Enix's new CEO, Yosuke Matsuda, wouldn't want to tarnish his new position seeing as Square is still somewhat going through a restructure. Maybe an HD remake will come some day, but honestly I can see hesitance coming from them as to why they'd not want to do it, especially with how big the following for Final Fantasy VII is.
Wow really? X-2 was so bad I couldn't even get half way through before I said enough! I love Yuna but they went girlpower 200000000000 on it I don't think I want to see what they could do for a X-3! I love Yuna I went out and got X-2 solely because it was her but then they troped the crap out of it and didn't understand audience who loved her for X or why they considered her or Riku for that matter special engaging people. If they actually when ahead and made it I'd want Yuna from X definitely not Tidus I hated him.
I also hated the whole reincarnated lovers plot that X-2 gave out I always hated those plots so what the heck else would they do? Why can't Yuna just be the lead and do some world saving thing again like she did in X but without being the whole secondary character when she should've been the lead.

I'm not trying to insult anyone but I find it very shocking that people enjoyed 10, never the less 10-2. I suppose 2 was just because of the fanservice as the story was brain damaged.
I think fans need to try OTHER RPGs for once as I know many people tend to attach themselves to a brand, there's been some solid jRPGs on other platforms and they got pretty ignored while despite 13 almost being called one of the worst jRPGs ever got a lot of people buying and trying.

With how FF-x2 turned out... Please don't keep stabbing FF-x anymore
If they really want to do something, they should do FF-X2#2. I'll give em a chance to remake FFx2 but that's about it.

Here's a hilarious thought for everyone, what if they made a direct follow up to X-2, then we could have Final Fantasy X-2-II. Or X-2b. Or X-2 Re-revelations.
Cue the inevitable wall of people crying for a FF7 remake.
FF7 is very unlikely to ever, EVER see a remake. Why? Pre-emptive damage control. With the amount of obsessed fawning over that particular game there is almost no way a remake could ever live up to the expectations of fans. And if it didn't live up to those expectations the fanbase would go nuclear. It suffers from the most rose-tinded of glasses and to try and remake it, far from being a license to print money, would be like putting their collective heads in a guillotine with a malfunctioning release mechanism and just hoping the blade doesn't drop.
Even with the drive to make it happen and the ability to do so whenever they want, the risk is too great. I COULD, however, see a remake of something like 4, 6 or 9. They'd be appreciated by many and would be less likely to cause an entire chunk of their fanbase to explode in indignation if they weren't perfect.
That aside and on topic...it would depend heavily on what direction they were taking. I can't see a sequel working, there's nowhere to go. I COULD see what some have mentioned and a thing with Auron, Jecht and Braska working out very well however. Or perhaps a distant past prequel of the start of the whole war against Sin.
