So I take it FFV and FFVI won't be getting DS remakes?

[Red Arremer]

Remakes usually end up not living up to the expectations of someone who played the original anyway. It's just a whole different game.

The only 2 games that come to mind being remakes but actually turning out good are Metroid Zero Mission and Super Castlevania IV.

Was Super Castlevania IV a remake of something?

Also how about we don't remake FF6 at all and enjoy the terrific original?

Is a remake of the Original NES Castlevania.

Yes, as topopoz said, it's meant to be a remake of the original Castlevania for the NES, but it's only taking the plot and the main character (Simon), the rest is pretty much all new.

Also how about we don't remake FF6 at all and enjoy the terrific original?

I concur.

I hate that VI always gets looked over for anything that comes up. I'm currently playing through the FFIV DS remake, and it's a lot of fun! VI has always been my favorite game though, and I'd love to see it in 3D with voice acting and a few loose ends tied up. They'd be able to go into so much depth that wasn't possible back in the SNES days. There's just so much to the story.

They said they were going to be implementing I think at least 90% of lost script from the original into the GBA port, and that didn't happen; it's no different, although they did change a few lines that I thought were perfect in the original. I'm finding myself believing less and less of Square's promises these days.

I just bought a DS(XL)...I'd wait years before buying a 3Ds. My best bet would be to ask to play a sample of it at Best Buy and just never leave.

But then the movie theater would be deprived of my presence :O

DS remakes? XD Well, maybe for V. VI is too good for the DS. For VI I would go for the PSP. ;DD

Rumors have been circulating that V and VI will be getting 3DS remakes. Does that meet your discerning tastes?

[Dawn~Berlitz]

i will be mad if they put it on the PS3 cause i cant even afford that console and i have a DS

the title makes it seem like the games are already in development but delayed.
VERY misleading

[Robzilla]

VI doesn't need to have ANYTHING changed. Rescripting for Advance was bad enough

That's right, now when can I go give square money for a ds version >.<

Agreed, but at least the team is planning the project! I'm psyched; I hope FFV gets a little story revamping, because as of now my problem with it (having only played the GBA version) is the lack of story depth, and the constant jokes it makes about itself. It feels more like a parody of itself than a serious FF game, although I do still love it for other reasons; it's got plenty of good things to keep me coming back and continuing (which reminds me, I need to start playing it again one of these days because I got about seventeen hours in last time and just quit playing for no apparent reason. . . .).

[Jurg87]

i still remember a rumor about FFV for DS, but nothing happened...

Yeah. It might give me a reason to get the 3DS, along with Kingdom Hearts 3D. ;D

[Darth Revan]

Or instead of complaining about no DS remake for FFV or VI... either play them on emulator; the PSX remake versions; or (if you can find them) the original SNES copies (which shouldn't be too hard to find. Try Ebay.).

[ROKUSHO]

except final fantasy 5 was not released outside japan back THEN.
and the psx versions are PORTS.

[Darth Revan]

Meh port, remake... mere semantics.

True FFV wasn't available outside Japan on the Super Famicom... doesn't mean you can't get it still. I got a copy of FFV for the Super Famicom in my collection... course, I can't understand one word of it lol

Port and remake are vastly different!!! VASTLY!!! A remake is a restart . . . from the ground up! A port is the source material just reformatted to a smaller or larger scale! You must learn these things, young grasshoppah.

[Darth Revan]

I despise remakes. They never stand up to the original and more often than not fall flat on their face. They also cause some people to start dictating how the 'original' game was when they never even played it, but the poor remake. Remakes are never as good as the original and never will be.

I can see what you mean, but I will forever stand by the opinion that Final Fantasy III is far superior in full 3-d on the DS, with actual backstory behind its characters as opposed to nameless Onion Knights (and why the hell couldn't they transfer that idea into Dissidia?!). But I agree whole-heartedly with you on the subject of the FFIV remake. It's a great game, but the original and GBA versions are a whole different beast. Other than that, I honestly don't even touch most remakes for similar reasons. I guess FFIII and FFIV are exceptions because a.) FFIII was never available in the US and b.) I GET TO HEAR MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND SEE THEM COME TO LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

OMG YES! YES!!! I forgot to mention that! Yes, the RE remake on GC is as superior to its predecessor as something can possibly be. I find myself laughing at the original now. Even by the standards of today's increasingly realistic graphics, the GC RE remake still stands proudly above almost all competition.
