>>137822639Its mostly /v/ speculation and stirring up nonexistent drama.
The truth behind FFXIII's disastrous development wasn't really due to the multiplat announcement(though that did add to it). It was the sheer size of the development team and general lack of communication and organization. At that point they haven't even decided on a battle system. Let alone sidequests or towns.
Many wanted an action based system, many wanted a WRPG based system, many wanted it to be traditional.
As a game, XIII-2 really is objectively better because there was actually clear goals set out for it and accomplished to create a smoother system with plenty of end game content and exploration to follow.
Unfortunately, nobody likes Noel or Serah(despite Noel being a pretty cool guy).
>>137823083Fuck off. Why would they waste time on something old when they can focus on creating something new?
I like FFVII the way it is. There's no reason to remake it at all except for whiny nostalgic retards whining about their first FF not getting any recognition.
