When a Final Fantasy VI remake happens...

[Scott]

Which system would you prefer it to be on?

I know 3 and 4 are on the DS, but 1 and 2 are on the PSP.

Personally, I would have wanted 5 and 6 on the PSP with nice graphics, akin to the style in Dissidia, as I would really love to see Final Fantasy 6 get the royal treatment in regards to a remake. I mean, graphics aren't something I usually get so hung up about, I'd rather Final Fantasy 6 be all out, because I love it. However, I still think it would probably get the same deal as FF3 and 4.

So, what do you guys think and hope for?

[gotaplanstan]

Well, its pretty far ahead of the rest as far as being my fav in the series. So with that in mind I'd like to see "the royal treatment" as you put it as well :p But I guess a ps3 remake would be a little overdoing it ; ; but yeah PSP would be ideal since I don't really wanna have to buy another portable system since I don't play them much (atm I only play psp for dissidia). I haven't seen what the FFIV remake on DS looks like so I can't really comment on whether I would or wouldn't want it to be like that either so..yeah lol

[Fayt]

psp all the way its better then the Ds

[Kite]

PSP cuz I broke my ds

[MoD]

i have to go with DS cus the psp remake sucked :p
and i wont to see a chibi sadin XD

[POS Industries]

While I thought the FFIII DS visual style worked, I really didn't care for the way similar superdeformed model style was used for FFIV, and I really don't think it would work for a FFVI remake, or FFV either, for that matter, so of the two I'd prefer PSP.

However, I think I'd be happy enough if they put the FF Anthologies port up on the PSN store and set to work on a prequel game about the rise of the Gestahlian Empire, the advent of Magitek, and Kefka's decline into madness starring Leo.

The PSP remakes of 1 and 2 were fine, I thought, and what I meant by FF6 remake on the PSP was to utilise 3D graphics. Imagine FF6 looking like Dissidia.

Anyway, FF4 DS was fun, and the graphics worked once you got used to it. It worked exceptionally for 3, because it's original graphics weren't overly defining in terms of what things looked like, really. I could see it working for Final Fantasy 5 too, but I think FF6 is a little deeper than that. It might be bias to say that, but I really do think it.

[MoD]

if they made remake in the PSP it's not going to be a remake there going to resell the psx ver trust me i knew SE

[Scott]

Just like FF4 DS was them just releasing FF4 Advance? :P

Chyeah, totally got you there.

Will i hope they make it 3D like the new games on the psp(graphics are amazing :D)
but how cares about the psp
it's FF6!! we need a ps3 remake!!

Nah cuz they did this for FF1 & 2 they just resell the psx ver on the psp

Yeah seriously, cuz the little time you do get to play as Leo is NOT enough! Thank god for gameshark editing capabilities and the glory that is Shock :D

It would also be nice to see some VI spinoffs since its possibly (not definite at all, considering 8,10,11) the 2nd most popular behind VII.

[Stupid Aquarius]

I won't very well vote DS seeing as how I don't have one. But even if I did I'd still side with the PSP, for the very scientific reason that I think it'll look shinier on it.

[rshadowkirby]

it had better music, it had better graphics, and it had better sprites

[Aevitas]

I'd vote for PSP just because the III and IV DS versions don't even make much use of the touch screen functionality at all. And no one really needs to have an entire screen for a separate menu. I'd rather have Squenix not be limited by hardware and make the game the way they want it to look.

[Björk]

DS has poor graphics and repetitive tapping.

[Scott]

The DS's graphics are just fine, although I will admit, better resolution and a large screen wouldn't hurt.

What I was glad about was the limited use of the touch screen in FF4 DS. Unless it's a focal point of the game, don't bother with it. Using it only because it is there is a terrible thing.

[AustinitheGreat]

I have both the PSP and the DS, but I have to say DS.
Even though it's a weaker system in general, we have to look at the remakes that were for the PSP. I'm afraid to say it, but they were terrible. Not bad by itself, but I don't want them to ruin FF VI. On the DS, its a completely different story. So far the remakes have been complete overhauls on graphics and even certain changes to the mechanics. And a difficulty increase. That would be what FF VI deserves.

[SKX]

DS. Not only because it's the only current hand-held I have, but AFAIK, the PSP remakes were just the PS version with updated graphics and new superbosses. Graphics =/= functionality.

[Aevitas]

I don't know what was Squenix's reasoning behind that. They could easily have done 3D graphics for the FFI & II remakes, and even more easily on the PSP, why go with just updated sprites for them when the PSP can do so much more in terms of graphics than the DS? It doesn't make logical sense to me. I have both FFIII & IV DS and I do love them, but I can also see these games on the PSP with a higher polygon count not hurting the game at all.

I blame lazyness due to the 20th anniversary.

Of course, they could have done much better given what the PSP can do, but then again, they MIGHT have tested two different ways (conservative with I and II, radical with III and IV).

Regarding the topic: the Limit Breaks might be fun to do if VI comes on DS...

[Scott]

I'd say, considering the games are rather short wouldn't exactly warrant the effort of remaking them in 3D.

[Yuka Kazami]

I'm just gonna ignore every other post cause I'm far too lazy to read them all.

In my opinion...

FFV would be fine with just a DS remake like III or IV.

But FFVI definitely deserves at least a PSP remake with Dissidia quality graphics.

[ColdRoxas]

of course psp lol. The PSP's control scheme is the closest to FFVI's home console (Famicon or something??), so we'd still feel that originality when playing it.

Oh lawdy... The DS's control scheme is very similar to the PSP's as well, you know.

[smilie]

I like psp's graphics more. :)

[POS Industries]

FFVI's home console (Famicon or something??)
You wound me, sir.

[Dax-360]

It would be alot better on the PSP. But if Square Enix is really money hungry they would make it for both.

[Björk]

taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap

[KuronoX]

i vote for the PSP.

[One Winged Angel]

PSP vote from me :D

Mainly b/c FF IV was re-released on the DS, and if they remake V and VI, they could do DS and PSP respectively, or vice-versa which wouldn't be what I want but who knows what Squenix has planned.

[Aryo]

Well would this remake be 3d like the ones on the ds? Or will it just be a remake with better 2d graphics like the ones for the psp? I know we don't have a clue but I'd rather cheesy 3d graphic to be honest >.>

[earthnsky]

It would be great if they released it for both systems.:-)

[Scott]

There's a very clear difference in the capabilities of both systems though, which would mean they'd either have to create the game twice, or put the GBA Final Fantasy 6 on DS.

[m a e n a d]

PSP, please. I'd love to see everyone 3Dified like in Dissidia/Crisis Core :P

[Cookies]

DS would be okay, but it'd be much better if it was proper 3d with nice graphics.

[Scott]

So 3D on the DS isn't proper 3D?

[533787655464]

FF does not need a touch screen, so if they did think about putting on DS, it's either wasting the screen, or making a total douche of the game. Therefore DS is disqualified. That leaves me with only 1 option to choose...... XBOX 720!

But really, PSP ftw

[Scott]

Touch capabilities aren't needed, however, that's assuming the touch screen has to use those capabilities. A second screen is greatly helpful, especially with maps and character data.

[ScreamingMantis]

Well.. To me it depends. The 3DS is supposed to have GREAT graphics on it so if they fixed it up nicely, I wouldn't mind seeing it there. But as of right now, a nice PSP remake would be perfect, though I'd absolutely prefer it on the PS3.

[FullMetalWesker]

If it actually happens, it'd probably be on the 3DS or the PSP2 which sucks as they both have lame battery life(i'm assuming the PSP2/NGP will since the PSP does) ideally i'd want it either on the PS3 but out of DS or PSP i'd choose DS purely due to it's decent battery life.

[Scott]

Well, you should know this thread was created long before the announcement of the PSP2, and well before the 3DS was released/we had plenty of time for it to be on DS.

[Sephiroth]

The remake should be on the PSP based purely off of graphics. I would much rather have decent graphics then the crap from FFIV DS. I would actually prefer redone 2D sprites than 3D DS graphics.

[earthnsky]

The royal treatment for FF6, definitely! I too would prefer it get the "royal treatment" on the PSP with cleaned up graphics even though I do love it as it is.
