This is all I wanted for VII. You fans of tactics are lucky.

Original VII is great how it is. I was happy to have an alternate telling for the remakes.

Unlike VII, VIII has always been ugly and needs a graphical upgrade to match their over ambitious models for the hardware. Also needs a combat overhaul so it's not so super easy, and draw is not so tedious.

Tactics original is pretty, but could use some QoL updates.

VIII has always been ugly

I don't agree with this. It definitely wasn't considered ugly back when it was new. In fact, I believe the over ambitious models for the hardware as you put them were considered a big improvement compared to VII's.

Agreed. To me, VII was always the ugly one in the series. Unfortunately I played VIII first and was blown away at the technical marvel the game is.

Afterwards I played VII as a kid and it was unplayable. It felt like playing with cheap, homemade, wooden dolls. It was always the game that needed a remake the most.
