This is how I think Final Fantasy XII HD Remaster should be done.

FINAL FANTASY XII HD Remaster
PlayStation 4 exclusive (looks like there's still an exclusivity contract for X/X-2 and KH1 & 2 so I'm assuming the same here)

FINAL FANTASY XII
Option to choose between International Zodiac Job System and original version's system. All International version content included for both system's. Fully remastered in 1080p. May as well throw in Japanese voice support. Supervised by Ito.

FINAL FANTASY XII: REVENANT WINGS
HD Cinematic Story Videos
All FMVs from the original DS game and a lot of events remade as HD Cinematic Story Videos. Similar to 358/2 Days and Re:coded in KH1.5 & KH2.5 respectively. Also room to make new scenes and flesh out a more complete story, even make a more definitive ending. Hopefully Toriyama would be available to supervise.

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS: THE WAR OF THE LIONS (Probably more wishful thinking, but it would be an easy port and would help sell it. Would be the first time on console in Europe & Australia.)
PSP version remastered in 1080p. Or heck go with the iOS version. Which ever would be easier.

Bassically this is just how I'd like to see Final Fantasy XII HD Remaster go. What do you all think?

I agree completely with how XII itself should be done, let you change between the Zodiac Job System and normal system but include all the international content. I do not at all like how the Zodiac Job System works, it forces you to shove characters into specific roles in order to maximize their potential instead of playing how you want to play and limiting yourself giving you the freedom to create a character that has their own "job" based on what abilities you give them. The Zodiac Job System forces you to have to look up which characters are best with which jobs otherwise you screw yourself over.

For Revenant Wings, that's really all they could do being a DS game, would be nice to see that stuff in the HD remaster, I don't even know anything about this game.

War of the Lions, not so sure on this, but certainly not against it in anyways, just wondering if they would add it. The PSP version port would be the easiest, as the iOS port would require way more work. They could certainly do it, maybe they would.

I feel that it'd likely to be a KH style package:

FF12 HD Remaster, FF12 Zodiac Job System HD Remaster (marketed as 'two games'), and remastered cutscenes (or something like that) of Revenant Wings.

I don't think they'd start including FFT games as then there's a slippery slope (FFTA? etc) and it isn't really that connected to FF12. FF12, FF12ZJS, FF12RW - that's the trio.

As long as it includes all the international improvements I'm fine with it. I can go either way as far as the Zodiac Jobs. Played it both ways and enjoyed both ways. I do hope they make one change though: fix the camera controls! It's great that you can invert the Y-axis, but why is the X-axis backwards with no option to have it the right way??? (or at least not when the Y-axis is inverted...) It throws me off every time I start playing it again.

I'd love to play IZJS; the job system fixes my only real gripe with the game which was the over-customization. I'd love to see Revenant Wings' story somehow so I can see it without having to play...that.

Beyond that? I'd take whatever.
