I'd argue IX is the best of the four games you mentioned, although it has some weird second-act pacing problems based on how the plot splits your party up.

I might be apt to consider the GBA remake of IV and a hypothetical VII with a good translation.

What's the deal with all the other FFIV remakes, by the way? Is there a consensus best one?

Allow me to reiterate how fun FFRK is.

I'm currently fighting Zalera and three shadow fiends from FFT, in a FFVI style battle with ATB, with Sephiroth, Aerith, Golbez, Garland, and Cloud (My dark physical team just happens to be VII heavy;  just fought the Juggernauts from XIII with a team with Sora, Selphie, Bartz, Vincent, and the game's basic character).

I'm still going to wait until the entire game get's remade instead of a 60 hour version of the first 15 hours, 

but that "Those Who Fight Further" arrangement is straight fire.

I'm going to wait till a decent sale, but I can't lie, they may have managed to sell me on just getting that Midgard chapter. Like I probably would have gotten it anyways, but that has me excited.

The music is excellent, but that silent, final shot is what sold me. Holy shit that's amazing.

I'm not the biggest 7 fan, but I will say it very much looks like "the game they wanted FF 15 to be but it didn't quite get there", and everyone I have heard who has had a chance to play the game at conventions has raved about having fun with the combat system. Sounds great, to be honest.

Picture of 8's HD Remaster because if I'm quoting a thread from June the least I can do is not quote a big picture

Currently replaying the HD Remaster of 8 (have it on PS4 and Switch because I'm kind of obsessed with it.)

In practice, the game's remaster...doesn't look as awe-inspiring as the FF7 full remake, but it looks at least on par with the PS2-era Final Fantasy games' look- at least character wise. Background-wise, it depends on how far you get in the game: The more detailed backgrounds look amazing, but the less detailed ones look just as bad or worse.

Do you know, or can you tell, if they did any new translations?

Finally got a character to the beginning of Shadowbringer in FF XIV. This writing is AMAZING. At the end of Stormblood you think you know what's going on in the Garlean Empire. HA! The post Stormblood quest lines throw all of that into chaos. The Domen story is incredibly dark. And poor Thancred just keeps being the plot's whipping boy. This is now my new standard of MMO writing, BioWare beware.

Shadowbringers is honestly a tour de force in what a modern MMO expansion can be. Honestly all their expansions are so strong and even from early on in Heavensward you can see the writing has taken a significant turn upwards where all the secondary pieces on the board are so much more interesting and have more depth to them.

One of the things that has been super cool about jumping in with the game this deep in has been being able to very clearly watch how the dungeons/trials/bosses evolve over time and build on each other. How they try and build new superbosses that build on everything you've learned before and it just keeps getting more and more wild the farther you go, until you become comfortable standing in a tornado of fireworks. So many of the big bosses in this game are fucking amazing.

Bah, piffle, that was something I really wanted. Thanks!

Trailer is still only showing Midgar stuff, so it looks like it's really just the Midgar section.  I'm interested to see how they turned something I can casually run through in 3 hours into 30, but ok.  However, it looks like I'm just gonna get stuck getting this as it's looking WAY too good to pass.

The Midgard section is one of my favorites in the game, and it looks like they added quite a bit so I'm tremendously excited for it. I just showed my older brother the trailer, and the first he mentioned after seeing the release date was that he knows where his birthday money is going.

If Nobuo doesn't do a balls out modern version of Those Chosen By The Planet, this game will be total fail.

I am really, really hoping for several cameos from The Black Mages.
