I want a new retro Final Fantasy

2026-06-19 14:02 UTC

So I saw they released Final Fantasy Resonance. And it seems like an amalgam game. Like a best of episode. And that’s not what I mean. For me growing up FF7 was my introduction to the series. I had a Super Nintendo but I just missed FF6 somehow. I think it would be awesome if Square Enix’s next mainline title was a throwback (visually) and sported modern retro pixel graphics. All new characters and a new storyline though. They won’t do that but I think it would be awesome. I also really enjoyed Xenogears, one of my top three games of all time for sure. There is a game on steam called Chained Echos that hit some of those same notes. store.steampowered.com/app/…/Chained_Echoes/ This is the kind of thing I’m talking about.

This would be nice. I’m still hoping for a reboot of The Legend Of Dragoon but then think they’d muck it up like this.

I just want a true FF7 remaster that changes nothing about the game, just updates the graphics. I don’t want action combat. I want the original slow-ass turn-based combat.

Have you played Sea of Stars? Absolutely, drop dead GORGEOUS pixel game with phenomenal music. Its not the hardest game, but it is a true love letter to old school JRPGs. One of those games that sticks with you long after you’ve beaten it. It’s on Game Pass if you have it, otherwise you can grab it on Steam. It’s worth every penny.

Temu Final Fantasy made in RPG Maker was practically its own genre several years ago. There’s a few still around today, like Crystal Project, although that one isn’t an RPG Maker special.
