I agree on the combat system -- it needs to stay the same. A few tweaks here and there might be acceptable, but if it turns into the system they're using today for FF games, I'm probably going to pass.
The battle system is dated. No modern gamer will go for that. Yeah, all of us nostalgia nuts will buy it, but with the amount of money this thing is going to take to make they want it to have wider appeal.
I think they can update the battle system; they have lot of good systems from their own games that they can pick and mix from. I'm not really worried about it.
Having said that I don't want them to change the materia system! They can improve upon it and add more depth such as more materia combos, more types of materia, maybe integrate it into the character development and not just weapons.
They can balance out all the limit breaks so it's not just 3 characters that are worth using because everyone else's limit breaks suck. I can go on and on with what can be updated, but I'm sure the team knows the massive undertaking and pressure that is upon them. Square has actually been listening to their fans lately and that gives me hope (FF14 is fantastic, and 15 is looking good). I have faith.
Also here's a little tidbit from Kitase talking about doing a remake before it was confirmed (this was last year I believe):
I can honestly tell you I would love to do that,
If you simply ask me if I personally would like to do that, yes I would. Definitely. Theres no lie about it. But you must believe me when I say it would take a lot to happen. Even if I casually say I would like to do that, because it would be a huge project I would have to motivate myself to the level that I really am prepared to take on this huge responsibility.
I dont know if those three things will happen simultaneously. It has to tick lots of very big boxes. I wont rule out the possibility, but it would take a lot to make it happen. But should I ever take it on, it would have to be the biggest project Ive done. My life work. So I would have to be as highly motivated as that to end up with something Im very happy with. Its a huge thing for me.
I'm fucking excited
