The Pros and Cons of a major platform remake - Page 2

I would love to see this one in 3D. and I would say I'm a bit curious on what each characters would sound like. the Kefka Cosplayer would make a great voice for the actual Kefka character.

My only real thing I'm not to sure how they would do the mapping considering all the hidden passageways behind buildings and through walls.

They would probably have to redesign quite a lot of things, which could be good-they wouldn't be limited to two dimentions.

The areas could also use some differentiation. I mean, most of the towns only use one tile set and only the fans in Figaro makes it different than Doma... and that is bad.

Hm...To tie in with the towns, because of all the new people and opinions,sidequests could be added in that way, for summons, characters, and items that are common in the FF realm that hadn't been in that game.

this is exactly why they should make it for the DS or PSP. a full blown 3D remake on anything else wouldn't seem right. Besides, they wouldn't be able to use Kefka infamous laff!

well in my opinion remakes of the old games are somewhat of a hollow victory. yes you get to play your old game with up'ed graphics and sounds and on your newer systems but then again your playing the same games with a slight twist and your paying the same amount of money. while i am guilty of buying the new FF3 and FF4 i think that square enix should spend their time and our money making new and exciting games...they dont nessacarly be FF etheir.

If be great if they (assuming this ever happens) added to the story, weapons, espers and such. Id be great if this whent down, but most likely wont happen. Fun to dream though.

Even THINKING about a Wii or PS3 remake is ridiculous...it'd just take too much to do. Just too much time & resources...A DS remake would be great, though. Matrix Software's already proven themselves by doing great w/FFIII DS & FFIV DS (in Japan so far anyways)...

But, yeah better FMVs than the Anthologies ones would be nice...and MORE of them, maybe...better than MIDI quality sound & music would be cool too though...and, hey! A new dimension adds new fun! Hooray!

I'll be REALLY surprised if they don't eventually make FFVI DS...and then Chrono Trigger DS...and then THE WORLD!! MWAH HAHA!!!

But seriously, what does Square take me for? A waiter?!?

Personally, I think a remake should be left to PSP. Or at least Wii.

PSP:

Pros:
Handheld
Not Overdoing Graphics
Less likely to have voice acting, therefor, less likely to be crappy voicacting.

Cons:
Lack of voicacting altogether or higher quality means no awesome 16 bit Kefka laugh. D:
Screen is more wide on PSP. I'm used to seeing it on a more Square screen. >.>

Wii:

Pros:
Just thinking of how awesome 2D could be on the wii makes me poop myself.
The 2.5d vehicles could be awesome, and it could be accompanied with a nice control scheme.
Obvious stuff like sound.

Cons:
Square could get too adventurous.
No 16-bit-Kefka-Laugh(C).

Personally, after FFIV's story buff the next remake I'd like to see is *Le gasp* another FF1 in full 3d with a few extra classes and very minor characters based on the class. Not to mention the dungeons from GBA and PSP versions with a few more to reflect... FF7-10, and maybe 11 and twelve. I wish GBA version had that. I'd love to see Jenova, or Necron in 2d.

Why would a PSP version be less likely to have voice acting? Crisis Core has (crappy) voice acting...>_>

They wouldn't put thaty much effort into it unless it was on a console. I doubt it, at least.
