Why I Want a Final Fantasy VI Remake

[JohnnyMercyside]

Hey people, new here.

I've just written an article on my site about why I think a Final Fantasy VI remake should be prioritised over a Final Fantasy VII remake. Give us some feedback, positive or constructive are both welcome.

I didn't read your article but I'm completely with you....

I want a VI remake for an HD console. I thought many things were lost in the SNES. The Quality of many scenes could be potentially improved with better graphics & sound.

Also I thought that the graphics of this game on the SNES were a kinda cheap & not properly good, there are older games that had better graphics IMO.

[JohnnyMercyside]

It's one of the reasons in my article

At least FF7 was in 3D, FF6 remains in 2D.

[Enkidoh]

FFVII wasn't in 3D though - it used pre-rendered CG backgrounds that were still 2D (the NPC/PC models were 3D goruad-shaded polygons though). Only the battle scenes technically were in '3D', and even then it was rather limited.

And no, I'm somewhat of a philistine, in that I don't want to see a 3D remake of FFVI. It's perfect as it is in it's 2D glory.

I'd rather see a 3D re-imagining of FF 6. Who wouldn't beg to see the final battle with kefka in ps3-level graphics??

I don't need to specifically go into what parts of FF7 were 3D, but you have and you're right. It's still 3D in my eyes, just an early 3D game.

As for you not wanting a remake, I can understand why, I just think differently.

Yup, I think it'd be awesome.

I'd like to see either an HD port/remake ah-la PSN/XBL or I think I'd be cool to see some kind of action game.

My questions is this... Voice Acting or No Voice Acting?

I would prefer No Voice Acting.

[Smarty]

Voice acting is better than No Voice Acting as long as it's done properly.

This, based on Dissidia, I'd say voice acting, the person who did Kefka in Dissidia was fantastic.

I think it'd be cool if Kefka was done by Mark Hammel (he's been doing the Joker).

[Tanis]

He's still got a great voice.

[topopoz]

Mark Hamill is just awesome.

But on the voice acting I'm concerned about the Female Characters...

[CC]

And he's played so many characters, it's incredible. Hamill as Kefka would be EPIC WIN!

[Darth Revan]

As long as Cam fucking Clarke isn't a VA, I may be interested... but like Enkidoh, I prefer the original version on the SNES. I'm a traditionalist.

[CC]

I prefer the most definitive version of any game, myself. For me, the GBA ports of each of the originals outdo the source material. FFIV is full of minor glitches but overall it just feels like the true finished product. FFTactics on PSP is another good example. Not that the originals aren't awesome (hell, there's all kinds of things in FFIV on SNES that I think were done a lot better than the GBA port) but as a full, cohesive package the games tend to stand better on their own with a little more of a touch-up. The enhanced visuals of I, II, III and IV for handhelds (you can't tell me V and VI got any real visual update, because they didn't) make them fit better with the current generation of games. And although I'm not somebody who cares much about graphics, FFIV sure is prettier to look at on the GBA.

[topopoz]

V could die for all I care about that game...

But VI needs a real update...

[Faelen]

Honestly I'd be most excited for the music. The score to FFVI is pretty much my favorite FF score... can you imagine it redone with modern sound libraries? Or maybe even with a real orchestra? It'd be awesome!!

[ROKUSHO]

if theres a remake of star wars episode 5-6, hamill can TOTALLY play palpatine now, with no makeup.

[CC]

I'd rather just see them create a new trilogy set after Return of the Jedi. Since Palpatine doesn't actually die but sort of is reborn, Hamill could continue his career as the reborn Emperor.

I vote we make the dude from the new Star Trek movie the new Luke Skywalker.

[LoreleiEtoile]

I'd love to see a remake of VI as well. Personally I think they've done way too much with VII to make a complete remake too ._. Not saying I wouldn't get it if they actually did make one though x)

[CC]

They've just done too much with VII period.

[Dragoncurry]

They've just done too much with VII period.

QFT WTB the end to the Chrono Trigger Series imo. Getting sick of waiting to see what happened to my boy Crono.

I'm not in favor of an FFVII remake but I feel a lot of people are.
Frankly, it's one of the things I suspect that might turn things around for Square financially if they did it.

shrugs.

I would like to see a sequel to the chrono series as well as another new Ogre Battle game.But I suspect we'll never see those.
