FFIX Missed opertunity...

[Nights-Rune]

So 9 was re-released on steam recently naturally I am bias since its by far my fave of the franchise and generally an underrated gem of a game. Yet I can't help but be disappointed there was no mini event or item or celebration of this of any kind. I love little nods to past titles and think there should be a little celebration and such when old ones are re-released. A) it gives fans a nice little bonus and B) it may well generate some interest in them for players of the MMO that have not been FF fans or have not played certain titles.

Please give us something. Just a little tie in celebration. 10 is out on steam soon I hear, please at least do something for that? I really would love a little nod to 9 though... just saying.

Neither will happen. Xiv tends to, or at least has a history of ignoring remasters, especially when they are simply PC ports. I too want more IX and X stuff in the game, but I feel the only remake that we have any chance of celebrating is the VII one, and even then I wouldnt get your hopes up.

[Nights-Rune]

I just really think they should. They really should for 7 since everyone loves it because it was an awesome game. I suppose it narks me more because IX has always been so ignored when its one of the best. I keep seeing items of clothing now replaying 9 and thinking "I wish I could get that in XIV" I think they are kinda missing a trick here. Its not like it has to be OTT or in your face. Just a little fan service and maybe a chance to get a newcomer interested in trying an older title. Hell I would be happy with like a hat or shirt in the cash shop or something. X was popular enough so I hope we will get something. I would take a dress or a skirt or shirt, hell just any nod really. I honestly think they are missing a trick.

Ozma incoming for next 24-man raid, from what I heard. Better than nothing.

Not everything they release that is stamped with Final Fantasy needs a celebration event. Especially a rerelease that is just ok. Sure I could see vii having one unfortunately, because vii is getting a whole new remake, but ix was just an ok port with some enhanced graphics and stripped of things that made it better, like its original font. They couldn't even be bothered to remake the backgrounds so the game looks even more odd.

They really should for 7 since everyone loves it because it was an awesome game.

Not everyone. I, along with many many others, feel it was the worst of the franchise, with its whiney emo protagonist and it's cry baby with mommy issues antagonist. I wanted them both to fall off a cliff. They story was just so so, the game was short and whatever good qualities they had were ruined with Cloud's annoying angst. Myself I feel VI was the best, others have other top pics, it's just that those vii fans are so loud ppl think its the top fan favorite.

from those two sentences alone I can tell you've not played it and you're basing Cloud on what you know from Advent Children because Cloud is not emo or whiney, does a whiney person say this? I've just destroyed your false claims with a single image.

And let's not forget how snarky and sarcastic he is throughout the entire game.
I'm sorry but I always have to call bullshit when people parrot "Cloud is emo!!!" either it's bad reading comprehension (like the other thread) that made you not pick up on Cloud's sarcasm and snark or you really haven't played it.

Yes and that is awesome and I love things like that but I am more on about something new when re-makes/ports/re-masters come out to celebrate them and spotlight them a little. I mean lets face it there are way way more outfits than just that that I would adore getting my hands on. I just think its worth a little celebration when oldies get a new lease. Think of all the people who could become interested in playing it if suddenly a new staff or sword or outfit from that game shows up just as its re-released somewhere. Fans get a little nostalgia kick and newbies may get to experience something they haven't. Also stuff like this can really boost sales... I mean I may have missed IX getting re-released if steam wasn't so in my face about it.

That is not really an event or something..it is just something the game auto mails you for subbing. OP I believe was asking for an event and something larger then that. In no way shape or form does the veteran reward make people aware that the remaster is out. So...last I checked it did not happen. :x

[Lambdafish]

Honestly I would rather they stick to permanent in game rewards like vet rewards, gold saucer rewards and cameo bosses (or God forbid, cash shop if they really must). I don't know if you remember the lightning event but people are still complaining that they missed it, and the same will happen for these events.
