Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? (lemmings.world)

Seems like a goldmine of content for them to work on for the next decade+. Plenty of people will never experience these worlds or stories due to the turn-based combat, so giving them the Remake treatment could be the only way an audience ever finds them.

I would like to see FF8 remade next. It's the next logical choice becauase 8 comes after 7 and it's a solid world to leave the FF7 rut for.

The rest could be good, too, but FF8 would probably be the easiest to pull off successfully.

Yes but the problem is with Square Enix themselves. For some reason, they have the mindset that the only remake that would sell is FF7. This is the reason why they've been working not just two completely different remakes of the original game but also remakes of the sequels and prequels, along at least one new game that takes place in FF7's universe. A remake of any game prior to FF11 would sell well but they exclusively chose to remake FF7.

They wouldn't even have to go as far as they did the FF7 remake. They could easily remake one of the games in the style of something simpler like either Crisis Core or FF12 and it would probably sell very well, especially if it's decently priced.
