Agreed. To me, VII was always the ugly one in the series. Unfortunately I played VIII first and was blown away at the technical marvel the game is. Afterwards I played VII as a kid and it was unplayable. It felt like playing with cheap, homemade, wooden dolls. It was always the game that needed a remake the most.

I’m with you. All I wanted for 7 was a graphical update and instead you got alternate dimensions bullshit.

I think the battle sprites look amazing, but in the field, the details on the models get squished into too few pixels, and it's a jarring juxtaposition against the beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds. I can remember some reviewers sharing my opinion at the time, but you might be right that calling it ugly is a bit much.

I can't help but be excited for this. Here's hoping it gets ported to pc eventually.

The post link only mentions PS5, but the Square Enix page says consoles and Steam. Steam page doesn't seem to exist yet, though. https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_US/news/final-fantasy-tactics-the-ivalice-chronicles

It's coming out on Steam on September 30th according to the Square Enix page! https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_US/news/final-fantasy-tactics-the-ivalice-chronicles

Sick! I remember it being fun, but never having the time to finish it. Maybe this is my chance.

Hope they get the sound right this time. And fix the effects slowdown glitch. And don’t introduce new weirdness.

Same. I found a way to soft lock myself into (one of?) the final boss fights and then my PS2 laser failed. Loved the game though and been looking forward to playing again for like 20 years.

Already confirmed on the Steam page
