8 Video Game Remasters We DEMANDED (Then Instantly Regretted)

8. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles

While not being as well received as some of the other mainline entries into the Final Fantasy franchise, Crystal Chronicles found a lot of favor with Gamecube fans upon its release back in 2004, mainly due to it's wonderfully cute art style and interesting approach to battling.

Therefore it was to the applause of many when it was announced that Crystal Chronicles would be making its way to non-Nintendo consoles in 2018 alongside a slew of updates, new dungeons, and the ability to take this title online with cross-play elements, which quite obviously was the main selling point here.

However, that applause soon turned to moans of frustration when it was also revealed that this cross-play feature also allowed mobile phone users to jump in on the action, which was akin to swapping out a crying babies' milk for a bottle filled with food bin squeezings.

The reason why this was so utterly terrible is that it placed a huge limitation on the online aspect of the remaster, as now everything was boiled down to the bare essentials to make sure it worked on phones, meaning that parties auto-disbanded after every single dungeon, and online chat was basically non-existent. Add into this the constant connection issues and the removal of local multiplayer as a workaround and you have a remaster that actually offered less than the original game.

Good going.
