Final Fantasy VIII (1999): Students from a military academy become entangled in a sorceress-driven time conflict. It experimented heavily with the Junction system and a romance-centered narrative. AKA Final Fantasy 8, FF8, FFVIII
I think 8 only needs a remaster with better improved models and a voice dub! It doesn't really need a full blown remake. An anniversary edition would be nice.
I think FFVIII might not get a remake anytime soon, what they are planning is to release a remastered version of it. Send them an email in 2030 when they have finished remaking FFVII. And besides, what the hardcore fanboys liked was VII (nostalgia was a significant factor).
If 8 is going to have a remake, I hope it will come with sequels like 8-2 and 83. It is just said it never became a trilogy. I think giving this game sub sequels will end the Squall is dead theories once and for all. I just want to see more games set at the Balamb garden.
I think we will be waiting for 10 years. That statement is not even realistic as many games took 20 years before they got a remake. I just feel that the 3d games are the next to get remake after VII. VI have a demand for a remake. I can see 1 to 3 to get a more low budget remake due to having less popularity. VIII is popular don't get me wrong but there are more popular games than it with bigger demand for a remake.
Next to 7, the next most popular are IX and VI. IX recently have a remaster while VI is 2d. I think 6 will be remade first due to its popularity and Kefka's resurgence. VIII I think will be remade around 15 years. I expect to have 1 remake every 5 years. Ps5 is going to have all those remakes.
The remaster looks good so I dont think a remake is around the horizon. I can see one of the 2d games getting a remake first because they didn't age well. I can see 8 having another remaster few years from now, this time with voice acting. For now we just have a great looking remaster.
