What're the chances of a FF6 DS remake?

I think they might but I don't want it to go 3D - have you seen the graphics in the original FF VI??? It was one of the best looking SNES games (right behind Secret of Mana) and a 3D remake would SUCK. It would completely ruin it for me and tons of original fans of the game. Maybe a slight change in the graphics for the better (like the did when the brought FF I from the GBA to PSP, they just smoothed it)

I really don't think a remake is necessary but it might be done, and if it does I might play it as long as it doesn't go 3D. Graphics don't make a game. You guys have fallen for that theory and so has SE. Why do you think FF XIII was so bad? Because they focused on graphics. Graphics are the ultimate downfall to any game.

In order for a FF VI remake to be successful, they need it to feel old school. Feel like the grand age for RPG's. They need to make it bring us back and enjoy what RPG's were, not are, and then there will be a masterpiece.
 
If they remade 1,2,3, and 4, why wouldn't they remake 5 and 6. They know that 6 is one of their 2nd or 3rd most popular.
Who knows?
If they made a remake of 5, it might get a lot of people into it. ( or back into it in my case.)
And make 6 just to rake in money...

I'm not a big fan of sprites so i can't really get myself to play ff6. the only reason i played ff3 and ff4 was cuz they remade it with 3D graphics on the ds. does anybody know if there's talk about an ff6 ds remake?

SE already said before, that there will be no FFVI remake, or I am fairly certain they did at least ;) I heard from my Sister who is a big FFVI fan that there will not be one.

But if you look in the news section, SE said there might just be a remake for the 3DS. :P

There might be a re-release for the DS/PSP with a few additional cutscenes and characters.Much like they did with FF Tactics.

Not worth getting excited over if it happens.

A year or two before that, when the GBA was released, they said the GBA release was the remake.

Glad they changed it. :x3:

I hope its for either Wii, PSP or DS/3DS. If they release it for PS3, I hope they make a port for PS2. PS3 is the only system I don't have.... :bored:
 
I think a PS3 remake would be phenomenal!

I know they probably WON'T

but FFVI is the best non-3D game in the series and probably ever.......

I would love to see the world of FFVI in 3D.........people are missing out rather going for FFX or FFVI nowadays no-one really plays games like FFVI. If they ever do play a classical game it's normally something like FFVII,Zelda or Super Mario etc. But this in 3D would rock the world!...........and as it is now I would say it's my 2/3 (not sure which) favorite in the series........... making it on the PS3 would definately put it ahead of FFX...........They have one of the best story and definately the best villian. And just because this is not 3D why aren't SE considering it for the PS3?

Look at the Playstation 1 intro and FMV opera scene..........their like the best FMV's of the whole series..........which is at like PS3 graphics

a remake for PS3 would be suitable (not DS even though it will still be good)

and a FFVII remake for the PS4 would be better instead of PS3.

But if they do remake FFVI on the PS3 it would definately be the best game of all time.............in my opinion.

But they probably won't remake it...........:wtf:
SE are missing out!
 
As has been pointed out, they'd probably have to topple their way through FFV first. Admittedly, I haven't finished FFV (up to Karnak in the fan-translation), and I have finished VI. Honestly, a FFVI remake would be fantastic. The massive following that Final Fantasy VII has is due to a lot of factors, and, for a lot of people, is the first Final Fantasy they have played and haven't backtracked. Rehashing FFVI for a new generation would be fantastic. A DS Port would be the most likely option given production values and accessibility. Even just for a CG cutscene, whooping Ultros in 3D would be entertaining XD

For those who just can't wait, there's always the 3D Tech Demo of FFVI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYKjZS7Wo7Q)
 
I'm personally looking forward to play FFV DS first, since it's my favorite game.
Anyways, answering your question, seeing the success of FFIII DS and FFIV DS, I bet they're already working on FFV DS and FFVI DS soon.
 
FFVI sets the bar too high to be on the DS. On the contrary, it's not high enough to be on a new-gen console either. They might make it for the PSP, but it can't be said for sure because FFV is still over the horizon, which will probably be made for the DS since it seems to be the most sold hand-held system as of right now.

The DS is full of great games, and all the Final Fantasies released on it were very good upgraded. The PSP has a better hardware, but that's it. What I do care about is that I want the same team of the III and IV"s DS working on a possible remake of VI. The gameplay is what matters the most and they know what they do with it.
 
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced I am that if there are going to be remakes of both FFV and FFVI, they will most likely be on the 3DS. Whether you like the idea or not, the 3DS is the most plausible format, and probably one of the most sensible ones.

To start off with, recent surveys in Japan state that Final Fantasy is a more popular franchise to have on the 3DS than Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts. So we know that SE will bear this in mind and bring some FF games to the 3DS even if they're just ports and remakes. It is proven to sell well, so they will keep doing it. As I said a while ago, there have been alleged hardware problems with the regular DS, so remaking the game(s) on the more powerful 3DS is a good way to sidestep this problem. It's also a good way to keep it similar to the FFIII and FFIV remakes in terms of style.

They'll never have it on the home consoles, especially the 360. Wii maybe, but why do that when it has the Virtual Console? I can never see them put a remake on the PS3. It's extremely costly to make on the PS3, it will take a long time, having FFVI in HD would destroy the charm that the original have (you'll probably hardly even recognise it anymore). And to add, it's pointless to have this game on the PS3 when a popular remake to have on that console is certainly FFVII that will reap more money than FFVI.
 
come on guys you all know ultros would look badass on the 3DS

I heard the 3DS may be released as early as Christmas so there's no point releasing it on the DS.
 
i think the chances are high at best because according to game magazine i bought today the entire of the series prior to PlayStation 2 will be re-released in ps3, psp and nintendo ds. :)

I don't know about that. Nothing has been said of FFV and FFVI for a while now, and it's the first I've heard of this, so it's probably false. SE seems awfully hesitant in outsourcing FFV and FFVI to be remade for the DS for some reason when FFIII and FFIV have been done already, and giving the excuse that they would encounter technological problems and all that. I still think that with the 3DS anticipated to be the next big handheld gaming device, it makes sense that they're planning on putting the two games on the 3DS (if they are).

FFIII was horrible

Alright, lemme clarify: same gameplay, better graphics. why not just take it to the next level. FFIII an IV are, after all, ancient anyways. Why see VI carry on to the DS?
And a remake, is,, a remake. whats to mess up//
