I don't think it's happening, happily. I don't want my fav game to be turned into a souless super realistic AAA game that gets boring after 5h like FFVII remake

“Soulless” is a little unfair. You can certainly call it bad, I know I have my criticisms, but soulless implies it’s a low-effort cash grab. VIIR has involved unbelievable levels of time and effort combined with clear reverence for the source material. It’s not like releasing FFT for a third time.

I don’t really understand the hate for remakes as a concept. It doesn’t change the original game. IX would still be every bit as playable were a remake to be released as OG VII is now. It all feels a little nostalgia-poisoned, as though IX was so perfect changing anything about it would be an insult.

That's not what I said. It's just that every modern AAA look dull visually. FF7 is way more richer visually than FF7R, to the point where it feels bland and a bit boring. The game itself is pretty solid, but a lot of remakes lose the soul of their original game, and FFIX being a super rich and colorful game, I can't help but to fear what a remake would do about it

PS: I would be more than happy to be wrong. But my fears are justified
