With the Final Fantasy VII Remake now in full swing fans can see the direction Nomura and company want to take with the gameplay as well as bridge out the story we all know and love. This opens the door to other remakes such as when they get to Final Fantasy VIII. Well someone on Devil May Cry reddit thought about having FFVIII remake take gameplay from Devil May Cry 5.
“So I was just commenting on love post I made for the FF8 remaster about how weird the FF7 remake’s combat looks. I was remarking about how turning it into a psuedo spectacle fighter would fit better into FF8’s gameplay and then it kinda hit me. Capcom, specifically the devil may cry team, specifically the guys who designed Nero, would be the perfect guys to undertake a action oriented FF8 remake.
FF8 is a weird mix of action and RPG. It’s not an action RPG but it blends elements of action game mechanics into it’s gameplay. It has specific combos for special moves, specific button presses at precise times to generate more damage, and it has incredibly stellar special move cinematic spectacles.
I fully realize this is the insane ravings of a pipe dream, living in a fantasy land that flipped a few billion quarters into a wishing well, but look at the alien carvings on the wall. The Red Queen is the spectacle fighter counterpart to the Gunblade. Squall, like Nero, has this loner, “devil may care” attitude from being abandoned as a child. THEY BOTH HAVE COOL JACKETS.
If anyone is capable of pulling this off, it’s Itsuno and his team of insanely talented developers. If only Square wasn’t run by lunatics. Maybe someone will make a mod for DMC5 to swap out Nero for Squall.”
I thought about this and imagine taking DMC gameplay for the weapons into FF8. Just think about Nero Red Queen would work for Squall gunblade as a function. Zell would probably just be Tifa from FFVIIR, Irvine being inspired by Dante gunslinger would be a nice difference between him and Barret. Rinoa switching between her disc and Angelo for the first part would work Sophie taking ques from Dante Cerberus skills leaving just Quists who we could have as raw hide and spell caster.
It is an interesting mix but it is unlikely, What do you all think about it though? Let me know in the comments.
