I’m seeing some discussions on the this in various different places and thought it would be interesting to ask the same question here.
Personally I think there’s some great Quality of Life improvements that can be made but having recently finished playing through XIII earlier in the year (albeit on Steam Deck) I don’t think it has aged all too terribly. Visually it still holds its own and improvements for me would largely sit within battle mechanics, such as allowing the team leader to be swapped when there is a KO, or even remaking Paradigm Shift animations.
I’d love to see more to do on Pulse, and maybe more opportunities for lore discovery by way of NPC interactions. But I’d expect the latter to be story breaking given how it unfolds and direction it takes.
What would you improve or change?
How about a something like what they did with Crisis Core?
It’d be cool, but I still think it’s too soon. Crisis Core was originally a handheld game, so there was a bigger leap in technology involved. 13 looked amazing for its time, on a much more powerful platform, so there’s not as much room for improvement. And even so, Crisis Core never would have happened if not for tying in with FF7 Remake.
