Pretty much the title. Curious how the games looking as we draw closer and closer to that October 1 release date. Is it in any better state than it was then? Is it feeling finished enough for EA? Or is it likely going to result in another push back? Just curious how likely we are looking at that Oct 1 date?

Edit: happy to hear an overwhelming amount of its coming out in Oct. I'll mark it down and put back the funds for Oct. Thanks all :). Here's to hoping for that Oct release!

So I have been seeing a lot of head lines and talks about an FF6 remake. Personally I fear it's something that will happen eventually it's only a matter of when in our obsessed with remakes culture. (I'm also guilty of this) However I want to say I think FF6 being as massive of a game it is and how much goes into being able to swap your party freely at specific points along with just how much player freedom FF6 has on where to go and what order throughout your journey. I think aiming for a smaller budget remake would sit better with the enhanced art styles of Team Asano who make games like Octopath Traveler would allow the budget to be able to focus purely on not just graphical enhancements but also the most important aspects of FF6's gameplay.

After seeing FF7 being split into THREE parts meaning your paying for 3 games and one of those being stuck in midgar. I'd much rather the game be remade in a more realistic matter that gets the consumers one game and with none of the important content cut or dragged out.

Ultimately if square is gonna remake FF6 my hopes is they keep it to the 2d style and let it become enhanced that way with VA work and possibly new content rather than making a big budget 3d game where much of the freedom of exploration is lost and the possibility of it being split into multiple parts to cut corners. I totally understand if that's an unpopular opinion x.x.
