I agree with you on that. The other problem I have with SE is that I enjoyed the old school final fantasy games and when I saw they were releasing new versions of some classics in steam I was very excited for some good turn based combat.. and then I saw the games and they were all remastered with character models for children. I pretty much hate children and these re-releases look like crap to me. I think SE did a good job with real time combat in FF12. Unlike ff13, there was no cutaway to a combat screen. All the encounters happened with in the same exploreable area and it got rid of random encounters because all enemies were visible from some distance. Honestly tho, our generation of gamers are going to be shit all over in the near future. The new generation of gamers are all trained to be adhd by their parents who give them their tablet or smart phone and let them play endless f2p games that are all time gated at 5 mins or less of enjoyment. As they keep running out of time they move on to the next game. I've seen this first hand with plenty of relatives and friend's kids. They no longer have the attention span to actually enjoy a RPG. They'd all rather dump $20 into a f2p tablet game with crap graphics for 30 mins of enjoyment than pay that same money for a game with a solid plot that could entertain them for weeks. F2p games are the new Crack for children, rivaling sugar, snacks and soda. With games like clash of clans, game of war, and numerous others making $1-5 million per day, all game companies will eventually cater to that market now.

It could be great like MGS: The Twin Snakes, or Gamecube remake of Resident Evil..... or it could be like remastering COD4, by using the MW3 engine.

Seems they're not going for a copy/paste approach with new graphics on this remake. Seems a lot of people are worried now and seems like if this goes wrong SE is going to be in a world of hurt.
