And now here you are whining that SE doesn't make "good" remakes because they boil down to being a prettier version of the exact same game. Do you see a conflict of interests here?

There is a huge difference between making a remake and making a very different game with only minor things in common with the original including pasting the original's title on it just to attract fans.

Most of SE's remakes are just the exact same game with minor tweaks. In FFX/X-2's cases, the entire freaking game only in HD, which makes you realize how ugly everyone is because the visuals themselves are the same.

But, if you remake a game and make it very, very different, it's not a remake what you're making, it's a new game with minor similarities done to attract fans. It's entirely different from doing the exact same game.

What one needs to do, is a balance. The KH are one of the times SE has done good remakes. The remakes are still the same game, progress the same way, have the same content. But the remakes also add more extra content such as bonus bosses, bonus keyblade, bonus sidequests, and even a whole new post-credit ending scene. That's how one makes a remake. The same game, only better. Not a simple copy-paste in higher resolution. Not a different plate with the same title pasted on it.

Got it memorized? (Also, what's with those 3 posts deleted?).
