So true that all games are remastered except FFXI. (But FFXI mobile reboot didn’t reached the market)…

At some point in FFXI history, the devs said it was the most profitable game ever of the franchise. With all the extra income the game has made, couldn’t HD graphics/textures be produced??

For when FFXI 8K ??
At this point, I just really wish Square Enix would sell the rights to make further remakes / remasters / spin offs of older IPs, like FFs they don't care about (VI, VIII, IX, XI, XII), Chrono Cross, Tactics Ogre, etc., and just kept working on the IPs they actually care (FFVII and XIV) as those makes them enough money while freeing up beloved older IPs the company does nothing good with to be explored by smaller and more caring developers whom would actually give a damn. So many IPs deserve better treatment than SE gives, specifically given the latest "demasters" the company released and the way they always treated and treat FFXI.

Think of the Bioware ~ Obsidian relationship, or maybe the Fromsoft ~ Bluepoint one. Clearly SE themselves are NOT the best for their older, less profitable (compared to XIV at least) IPs and their remasters are usually terrible. They should just give those IPs a much deserved freedom while making some money out of it, I bet there would be many great third party companies, even big ones (smaller than Square Enix), that would love to, for example, buy the rights to remake FFVIII or take care FFXI further updates, expansions, etc..

They already sold Tomb Raider...
