No idea if that turn out to be true or not. I think either way remasters are welcome. As long as they make the gameplay good enough. I am pretty much impressed with some of the RPG developers on the android. And I hope that FF developers too come up with something sensational.
Man I really wish they would do the same for VI! It's such an amazing game, and it only got a horrible mobile remake/"remaster". Dx Ah well, I already own VIII on the PS1, I have yet to play it at all though but I'm working my way through the series in order for the heck of it. I know people more stoked for this over the VII remake. xD
