* I love Final Fantasy VII Remake. It's a treat to run around a fully realised Midgar, to see these characters animated in more detail, to hear them voiced.

Webmaster

* Do I want a full remake of Final Fantasy VIII? Yes and no.

Webmaster

* The problem here is that I love the original game too much. I'm extremely passionate about FFVIII, as you've probably guessed from the existence of this website.

Webmaster

* I think I would inevitably hate a Final Fantasy VIII remake. I would be too sensitive to changes, or to voices that don't feel right for the characters to me.

Webmaster

* It's easier for me to love the FFVII remake, because I don't have the same attachment to the original!

Webmaster

* That said, leaks suggest a Final Fantasy IX remake may be in development. If Square actually does go straight from remaking VII to remaking IX, I will personally go down to their offices and fire a dog into their face. I demand justice for Final Fantasy VIII.

Webmaster

* I realise I would hate the results, but that's not the point. I demand it anyway.

Webmaster

* My biggest concern about a hypothetical FFVIII remake is the voices, I think. I'm not American, so, when I played the game, I didn't picture the characters sounding American. It's probably inevitable that American voice actors will be cast for the English version; that could be jarring!

Webmaster

* You think we should sound British?

Selphie

* What's a British?

Z.D.

* No idea! The question just popped into my head.

Selphie

* It's a good question! Would I be any less bothered by British voices? Now that I think about it, maybe not.

Webmaster

* It's too late for me. I'm too used to these characters being voiceless, and now I'll never be satisfied. Regardless of how they sound, they won't sound right.

Webmaster

* There's also the problem of Squall's internal monologue. How do you convey that in a voice-acted game?

Webmaster

* A constant voiceover could feel awkward and dated, but you can't just strip Squall's internal monologue out. Hearing Squall's thoughts is essential to understanding his character.

Webmaster

* Man, I wish I could hear Squall's thoughts.

Z.D.

* Of course, even if the hypothetical remake would inevitably annoy me in countless ways, I'd love to be able to run around a detailed recreation of Balamb Garden.

Webmaster

* That's why I created this website, after all, isn't it?
