I still don't care for Final Fantasy 13, and I'm only a little hotter on its first sequel—and even more apathetic on its second. But this isn't about me. Nor the legions of longtime Final Fantasy fans who stand alongside me on this score. It's about the people who have always treasured the game(s), who want to experience Cocoon and Pulse in a modern way. It's about releasing the queen, if you will; Lightning, after all, must not be forgotten.
Square Enix's social media account posts stuff about pretty much every FF there's ever been. One seldom sees demands for a PS5 version of Final Fantasy 12 when Larsa Solidor gets name-dropped. But then, what does FF12 have that FF13 doesn't? A remotely modern remaster. A remaster of any sort, really. FF13 looks lush and plays great on Xbox Series X, but if you're on PC or PlayStation, you're still stuck with a frankly kind of crummy port or the hookups for your old PlayStation 3. All of this is to say, I can respect fans' hustle.
This is a case of "here we go again" if ever there were one. Six months ago on...
