Major platform remake???

October 20, 2007, 5:08 PM

Hi I'm new and I have a question. A friend of mine who also plays Final Fantasy told me he was waitin for a main platform remake. Every other final fantasy game has come out over here on a major platform (however long it did end up taking). I don't want to buy a DS just for this game and so does my friend. He says he's waiting for it to come out on a major platform, not a handheld. I'm not expecting it any time soon, but do you think it would ever happen.

I don't think it will ever happen, sorry.
It may get remade again on a later handheld, but I seriously doubt that it will be remade on a console.
I cannot see any of I-V being remade on a console again.
Sorry.

No it won't, not in the near future anyways. As it stands it will only be on the DS (or go old skool and get the NES version ROM).

Even if they did make it on a console, it'd be later. I think Squenix would remake FF VII before they made a console FF III.

They won't at all. Unless they plan on doing big full blown remakes for every single FF for the new-Gen consoles, which is stupid.

Then again, with all these DS remakes now popping up so soon after the GBA releases, maybe they really are doing a platform to platform hop for all of them.

Expect the release of FFIII Wii Edition sometime soon....

Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up for anything anywhere in the near future I was talking more like anytime in the next 15 years or so. It seems like they did all of those GBA remakes to get some younger kids hooked on FF, and now those kids are getting older and getting into the new FF. My hope is that it will come out when a new generation of kids comes along and Square Enix tries to get them hooked with yet another remake.

We'll see though, you never know what Squenix is willing to do. I wouldn't mind seeing a few other FF's re-realeased on ps3 or whatever. It'd just be nice to experience =D

I don't think that the GBA FFs were intended for a younger audience; it was just that at the time the GBA was the most reasonable system to port to.

Maybe, if we are REALLY lucky, we can get FFIII remade like I & II for the PSP?

I wouldn't mind just a simple port for the PSP, not even a full remake, just converting the DS version for the PSP. I guess that Major Platform remake would be the wrong word, I guess I'm a little biased because I meant more of system that I own. Which would be the PSP and right now PS2 but eventually PS3

It kinda was....They made the GBA games rated E for everyone. (Or E+10) They took out some adult things that were there before such as some language content. They changed the scene in FFV where the party found out Faris was a woman. They changed the dancing girls a bit in FFV. (Dancing girls at the bar.) Also in the FFVI GBA version they covered up Siren. Siren was naked in the original version.
