Are the FF remakes from the humble bundle sale good?

If you have no other way to play them, then honestly they're okay if rough. But for pretty much all of them, it'd be better to look at other versions via emulators and such. The FF4 remake is good but it's difficult in a way that was designed for people who already played FF4 and has a couple of tough spots if you haven't before.

Tingle's stories tend to make more sense than FF stories, tbh. SE could learn something from 'em.

Found this difficulty mod on Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy12/mods/59

I have not tried this myself however so I don't know how hard and/or tedious the game will be with it.

Just tested this out and the difficulty is kind of wacky. The gyrocopter in the tutorial sequence takes forever to kill, and cockatrices in the first combat zone can petrify, which is an instant game over since Vaan is still solo and there is no way to get remedies that early in the game.

The changes seem like they have a lot of potential once you get a full party and gambits, but FFXII is front-loaded with like 10 hours of gameplay where you can't do cool poo poo. It's going to be a tough grind from Rabanastre through to Barheim and I'm not sure I want to put the time into that right now.

What's a good use for the first teleport spheres in ten? I could plop kihmari into the black mage area, and I remember when I first played I put tidus and walks in aurons spot for all the str bonuses. Not sure if I should sit on them for now though.

Send Yuna to Auron or Lulu's parts of the grid, and then stomp mid-game bosses with overpowered aeons.

I enjoy hearing Biran's and Yenke's voice-acting which at least somewhat justifies Kimahri's existence

FFX really had some silly voices. Good silly though, like those guys or Maechen. Really, Maechen should just be promoted to the level of Gilgamesh and inserted into every FF game ,only he shows up to give exposition instead of battle.

You can put the "h" anywhere in Khihmhahrhi and it doesn't change the pronunciation.

S-E don't know how to make big budget games anymore. Besides they're making lot's of money on FF15 dlc.
If FF16 is ever made, it'll be next gen.

Episode Highwind is apparently in the works.

It's actually been confirmed that they are making some sort of Aranea sidestory DLC that details the last day of the empire.

Most of the FF15 team is still working on post-launch content/Comrades multiplayer with the rest working on a next gen game that's supposed to be a new IP. FF16 is likely in production already from the FF14 team. Comrades is likely a testbed for ideas on how to make a co-op multiplayer in a FF game. Loot based action RPGs like Destiny and The Division are becoming increasingly dominant in the RPG market.

Furthermore, it's becoming common for a developer to continue to support a game after launch while a smaller design team works on the next game. Certain development staff can't be utilized when the next project is in a pre-production phase and they're still coming up with the game's concept. It also keeps the team from being press-ganged by other divisions into working on their development hell vortexes projects.
