And I liked that take on it (Final Fantasy VI came close to the Urban feel, it was very much rooted in a pseudo-steampunk world), but they just never let it go outside of 9. And everything had to be some "alternate modernity," or something close to it.


Concur - with 6 we saw signs of transition from purely medieval themes, but the graphic technology limitations at the time couldn't really display the theme as powerfully. FF7 seemed open the floodgates and was a great launching point to expand the genre (Xenogears and such followed shortly thereafter).

Speaking of remakes, I don't see how/why SquareEnix wouldn't want to modernize a lot of the past classics. It's guaranteed gold. I want to be a purist and all, but how could anyone turn down a classic reboots like FF6 or Trigger?

Square said recently that a FF7 remake was not going to happen. Unless, one of the new final fantasies can outsell 7, which I don't see happening any time soon. Square is probably terrified of doing a remake, knowing that if they frick it up it will probably be the end of the company. I for one would like a remake of IV (III) or Chrono Trigger before 7.
