Would you rather have a Final Fantasy VII remake done in neo-retro

The former, if I had to chose, but both are bad ideas. See how Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection relates to the original? Just do VII like that. Make it look nicer, maybe add on a side story, but don't just make a new game and slap on an old game's assets.

Is Octopath just a straight line?

Why not remake a 2D FF like this instead

I'd rather play a game I haven't played.

That being said; The Dragon Quest VII nearly made me puke because of the aesthetic, and I ain't talkin' about Toriyama's lazy art style.

that dock in the first area looks like you can walk up it on the Y axis, its just doing depth of field filter from your location but I bet its just a normal isometric grid style with the fancy 3d camera

Why is there so much bloom?

>>375884437
to hide the bad graphics

but dragon quest VII was using a completely different aesthetic. It was using low poly low texture 3d models with shit tons of aliasing

this games using flat 2d textures superimposed over 3d frames and then applying modern 3d lighting and pixel shaders. Looks like its got a fixed camera too

Oh yeah, Octagon Traverser looks interesting, visually anyway. Certainly better than all of those shitty DS/3DS JRPGs.

Shame it's got a proven hack at the lead, who is somewhat responsible for many of the aforementioned. Blending/Reusing art styles won't fix how bad the game's writing and gameplay will inevitably be, but I guess it's a step forward.

but the FFVII remake will have bad aesthetics, bad gameplay AND bad writing
meanwhile Octavian Triumvirate will have good aesthetics and a good gameplay formula even if the actual execution is probably going to be botched

at least it will be a JRPG unlike whatever FFXV was
