The developers behind Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles just opened up a whole new can of worms by stating their upcoming 2025 SRPG based on the 1997 PS1 classic is neither a remake nor a remaster.
Re-releases have always been kind of tough to categorize. If a remaster is the same game with updated visuals and a few extra lines of code (The Last of Us Remastered, Dark Souls Remastered), and a remake is a new game built from the ground up that's largely inspired by the original (Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Resident Evil 2), then where does Spyro Reignited Trilogy or Metal Gear Solid Delta sit?
