Meh, the Android/iOS remakes of 5 and 6 add enough for me to count them, IMO.


The end goal of having "sick cool gear/abilities/spells/etc." is to have a character that's actually more powerful. If you're not actually more powerful because the system actively punishes you for working to obtain these things through scaling everything, then the system simply serves as a noob trap to punish people who aren't aware that they system goes against the conventions of the series. That's just bad design.

It also just leads to really shitty encounter design in general because it's not possible for the designers to balance 100 different versions of every boss fight in the game so they'll just slap a formula in for the stat increases and hope everything turns out ok (it doesn't).

If you want to cut down on the grind, the way to do it is to have fixed or mostly fixed encounters, which also lets you have *better* encounter design because the player's power level can be more closely controlled (and therefore you don't have to worry about making encounters too easy/too hard for players that are over/underleveled because most people will reach each point in the game at a similar level).

I am more hesitant, but nevertheless willing to call 3 a remake considering the graphic engine was changed to 3D even though gameplay wise (to my best knowledge) it was exactly the same.

Having any amount of hype through E3 is a bit foolish, imo. It's such a sub par event lol
