Even if it didn't have the name Final Fantasy X and something completely different I would of brought it either way.. Im also a trophy hunter.. and would be willing to spend alot of time on getting this one done.. I agree with you on the FF7 remaster.. but I dont think they will do one. That's just me, no matter how much we beg and all the stuff. Realistically if we wanted a complete remaster of the original with everything put back in how everything was.. it would take along time and a lot of money! But none the less if it ever did get announced I think everyone in the world would possibly pick up a copy as it has been called the best game ever created by many.. so people that are not even fans could pick it up.. not 100% sure they would but it's a possibility.. That's just my opinion haha!
I am pretty sure they are actually actively working on a FF7 remake. Its not something they want anything to leak about but its also not something they want to miss out on a huge amount of ca$h money for either. They WILL remake it its just a matter of when it will be released and on what platform. If you remember they remade the first part of the game up to about the train scene to showcase the PS3's graphics a while ago. Im sure this was just the beginning of their work on a remake. I would love to have some Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross with trophy support those are two of my other favorite games ever. FF8 was just not my cup of tea. Didn't like the gun blade idea, or Laguna, or Seifer for that matter. I think it was kind of the beginning of the "neo-punk era" for the Final Fantasy series for lack of a better term. After FF8 with an exception of FF9 (which was a pleasant throwback to older FF's) all of the games have had a feminine main character, if not an actual girl (FFXIII) and all involve guns (I hated Barrett in FF7 btw) and other futuristic type nonsense that I never really grew fond of. Shoot I guess all that really started with FF7 but I may be too much of a fan boy of it to really admit that

I played FFXI online for a few years and I enjoyed that it brought me into the world of MMO's where of course I eventually ended up playing WoW for a few years. I just dont like the new pop punk Final Fantasys very much, I like old school warrior and mage stories about crystals and not a young persons emotional journey haha. I guess they seem too Emo for me? Just my thoughts... some other RPG's I really enjoyed were Star Ocean, Tales of Destiny, Breath of Fire series... My all time fav is Chrono Trigger for sure tho, and FFVII a close second.
