I see a lot of remake of games (like Shadow of the Colosus) in HD. Can we hope to have a remake of FFXi in HD? If yes, is that enough to get you back?

HD update? How about a true sequel?
It already is in HD. Much like all PC games circa 2001.
The fact that you can raise FFXI's the resolution to 1920x1080 or 1280x720 doesn't mean it's on HD. You can emulate any SNES game and set its resolution to 1920x1080. Does that make it have HD graphics?
Furthermore, I don't even think FFXI goes up to 1280 x 720 (actual HD resolution) by itself, I think it caps at 1024x768 and you have to manually raise it from there.
We'll take it into consideration.™
Shadow of the Collosus and the other HD remakes are single-player games, u know?
There wont be HD Remakes from MMOs. All you would see are Graphic-updates or a new MMO.
would the graphics update abolish the very ugly abyssea?

i also would prefer a successful ffxiv over a remake of "levelincreaseFantasy XI" of AbysseaFantasy XI, however you wanna put it. But due to its updates it doesnt really offer much to do anymore. Endgame got killed skillfully and there is just leveling and Abyssea. thats it. OK you have choices but... they are useless. Who wants lvl 75 gear as lvl 90? or higher if the AH offers cheap stuff that is way better.
They should have pimped the engine in ffxi instead of making their level increase decision and add new lvl 75 content instead as another option. The increase wasnt necessary at all but it killed the many years of work not only for the gamers... also all the work the game took to be where it was....
Something like this may not be planned, but I think it's inevitable. I think in 20 years we'll have a version of FFXI remastered in HD that you can blow through quicker than you can today.
Actually, the increase was necessary. The content they planned is/was borderline impossible for level 75 characters to do just on a pure formula level. (Everything is over your stats, which means for example Helicies would never do much of anything no matter how pimped out you were at 75.)i also would prefer a successful ffxiv over a remake of "levelincreaseFantasy XI" of AbysseaFantasy XI, however you wanna put it.

The levels also justified the overpowered Empyrean Armor and Weapons. So it wasn't necessary from a personal stance, but it was more than necessary from a game play perspective. Abyssea killed most things prior to it, but it's what actually saved the game.
Ironically, it's exactly like it was during Zilart's release when Artifact armor and relic weapons was released.
