Possibly, not seen one yet though.

Yes, indeed FFXI could be improved, but the history of re-mastered and tinkered with says otherwise.

The problem would probably manifest itself in the guise of some higher-up business-type in SE who think they know what the target audience want and go all out pushing that agenda, all the time while having no actual clue what the players really want. For instance, totally changing the battle system for "something more up to date". Doing so would completely change the game.

The best re-masters are those where they take the original game as-is and just 1080p the graphics, while leaving the story, game play, battle system exactly as it was.

Lets face it, they are not going to be selling a remastered FFXI to anyone other than the original player base, a modern audience would quit if they were not in endgame within a week of starting.
