What do you guys think are the chances, in all seriousness, for a remake of this awesome game? If so, what do you think? Should they enhance the story or leave it the same? Make it less chibi? I personally would be stoked no matter how they did it!

I not only think the chances are good, I'm expecting a remake. Square's willingness to take FF4 to the next level is, in my mind, a really good sign that we'll be seeing FF6 on the DS. I would hope that the story isn't changed, but I wouldn't mind seeing a different take on the battle systems, as long as it wasn't an overly drastic change.

I love Nintendo more than Sony in almost every aspect of gaming, and I enjoy the Nintendo generation of Final Fantasy far more than the Sony generation, but I would rather see Final Fantasy 6 on PSP than on the DS any day.

A DS version in my opinion would ruin the game. If you take a look at FF7: Crisis Core, and the screenshots from FF4DS, you'll see a vomit inducing difference in graphics alone. Graphics aren't everything, but content and presentation are.

Oh yeah, wasn't there already a post about Square Enix saying they already planned on a FF4DS and a FF6PSP?

I think there's a pretty good chance of them making 6DS, but they'll make 5DS first. It'll take a couple of years, which is the only problem. I'm not sure what the lifespan of the DS will be. I think they'll make it though.

I would LOVE a FF6DS, but unlike Blitzsage, i believe a FF6DS will come before FF5DS, due to it being much more popular, and will therefore be considered more.

If they alter the battle system, they have to keep the method of learning spells ala equipping espers the same, cuz that was my favorite method!

FF6 for psp will never happen btw since FF6 debuted on SNES and never touched the ground of Sony.

Speaking of FF6DS, this reminds me of what they tried to demo on the n64 by creating 3-d figures of locke, celes, and terra battling a beast (in order to show off what final fantasy would look like on the 64)

well, it did. with anthology, and also, all of the final fantasies except for 3 have been on a Sony system, also, ff i and ii are on the PSP, where are the DS versions? yeah, thats what i thought. sure, they made DOS, but thats not exactly DS now is it? i would very much like to see a PSP port of ff vi, as a cartoony vi doesnt sit well in my mind

I agree but for different reasons. First off, they will make 5 first, just like they did for Adv. and just like Adv. remakes they will release them in order. I think the reason that they won't make a FF6PSP is for that reason. They would make 4, or maybe 3 first, then 5, and then 6. They have waited too long. In my opinion they should have skipped the Advance versions and made the DS versions earlier. Then they could have made PSP versions.

Erm...vomit inducing? I don't think anything can top Vaan's abs. The stuff doesn't look bad (considering it's the DS), it just looks a bit primative. And sir, if you please, some proof for this FF6 PSP announcement? (Please let it not be true. I have no way of borrowing a PSP from anybody!)

If there were to be a remake, I would just want it to make the game a bit more mature. If anybody has ever read the FF6 Japanese translation (at icybrian), you find that the American localization was just sort of...kiddish. There are things about characters that they evaded* (y'know, the usual rating concerns), and I would like that to be changed. Expanding some events or character pasts would be excellent, too. I don't care about the battle system, for I don't play FFVI for that.

*Sorry, but I really do forget what they fixed in FFVIA.

I agree!

is the first thing that comes to mind, but I'm sure there are plenty of an example; Americanization tends to hit FF games pretty hard. That bugs me - we CRAVE these deeper, more mature storylines! What were they thinking?

As do I. I've always wanted to see the Japanese script. But I think the storyline was mature enough.

I'd hate to say this, but in Japan, FFVI is one of the worst FF games. X, VII, VIII, IV, V, III, VI, II, I... in that order, IIR.

It's not the worst game, apparently, but it may be the worst FF game in Japan besides II and I.

One reason why I dispise Japan .

You're probably basing that off the Famitsu 100 poll from two years ago, in which case the order was actually X, VII, IV, III, V, VIII, IX, VI, X-2, II, I, Tactics. But that's just a poll conducted by journalists, and it was about all games, not just FF games; FF VI was near the end of the FF games, but it was still in the top 25 of every game of all time. You really shouldn't take this list to be a definitive measure of a game's popularity over there, except to point out Japan's overwhelming preference for RPGs over every other genre.

And yes, FF VI DS is probably close to an inevitability, especially now that Square-Enix has companies like ArtePiazza and Matrix Software, whose only duties seem to be remaking old Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games.

That was 2 years ago O.o. Alright XD sorry.

My friend goes Japanese-FFVI hunting all the time! They really seem to love making all their characters *pretty* when they draw them, especially if you look for male/male. XD But they really do love six, too. probably more than Americans do. D:

You can't take any list like that to heart. Those lists are just a few people's opinions. If I made a 100 list, there would be a lot of games that you would disagree with.

And it probably is inevitable, since 4's about a month from being released and they are probably already beginning to work on 5. Depending on how much they change, I'm guessing it will be out within 2 years.

Assuming you're talking about Famitsu, yeah, that kind of annoyed me as well.

Anyway, yeah, FF6DS is probably coming. They'll probably do FF5 first, though.

I hope not. I really don't like the graphic style they're using for III and IV. 2-D rocks.

Maybe they'd make the graphics better, more realistic.

I'd like that.

really? I've always liked that PSX era graphics, even more than the newer graphics.

We all know that FFVI DS is just a matter of time. I believe that they'll make FFV first though, not just because of the order but also to build up more demand for FFVI.

Not that this is helpful to the conversation, but I just wanted to get my word in:

If they remade FF6, I would buy a DS (whatever that is) just to play it. How nice would that be.

My FF6 project can be found here, y'all.

I totally support a FFVI DS remake! Why? FFVI rules...and Sabin RULES! Go Sabin!

I don't think that would matter, though, because FF I & II, which were ranked the lowest in your source, seem to have enjoyed the most remakes, including recent remakes for PSP (which seem rather disappointing from what I know of them).

If they make FFVI DS, then I will wet myself. I had already been wanting a release of FFIV DS in the US, and upon learning about its imminent US release and seeing video of it, even my expectations were toppled. I think that the way they depict the events with voice acting really breathes new life into the story, and the cut scenes are quite amazing.

Now, I am incredibly excited about FFIV DS, but FFVI is my favorite entry in the series, so I would be absolutely bonkers about that. I think that the FFIVDS-style event-rendering would do wonders with FFVI's story, and the developers could also fill in a lot of holes in the plot, like detailing exactly what the hell that freaky tower you fight before Kefka is. Plus, they could really revamp the musical score, adding in actual voices for the opera and finding some way to make Dancing Mad even more awesome. And cut scenes, who doesn't want to see modern FFVI cut scenes?

Rationality would suggest that they would make FFVI DS, but I'm too much of a natural sceptic to personally endorse this notion; hell, I was worried that they weren't going to make another Smash Bros. after melee

I'd love another port of FFVI and of course, a bit more bonus content than what was offered in the Advance remake. It's a game I can never get tired of, so of course I would love to have an improved portable version of it to carry around with me and re-experience at any given moment. If it's presentation can be at all like what we've seen from FFIV, then I'd be more than excited, especially as I can't help but be curious over things like character redesigns and voice acting. As was said before, a modified battle system would definitely be welcomed as well.

In terms of likelihood, I'd say there's a fair chance of it happening given the success of all the other DS ports. I'd certainly prefer that to a remake of V, that's for sure.

--------------------

Okay, but there was a goat!

In my opinion, DS graphics wouldn't befit the mature and deeply philosophical plot of FFVI. Not that previous consoles did, but darker atmospheres with more thorough character designs and sprites are something I would very much like to see in a remake, and somewhy I don't see that happening on DS.

I know they will remake it, right after they remade all the others and the new games. Then they will remake FFVI and then move onto the remake of FFVII. But i can't want to see it hit either DS, PS3, Or even PSP. I will do everything in my power to obtain it!

--------------------

Isn't it soooo Cute!?

I expect that they will remake it.. I think VI was too popular for it's time not to remake. The other remakes/ports have been successful to the point, I'd have to say they would be a little nutty to not see the money that a decent remake of this game would bring in.. I would be behind it for sure and of course if they mess it up.. the original is still great so whatever.

With Final Fantasy 3, the remake was pretty much cosmetic but it brought that game to our country finally.

With Final Fantasy 4, they are expanding the game to its original intent using all the unused content.

Yet with Final Fantasy 6, I can't really see a clear reason to do it besides just to do it, and I do not really agree with that.

I'm very enthusiastic about the FFIV remake, to the point where I'm antsy today waiting for it to arrive at my local Gamestop so I can go buy it. But I don't think I'd feel the same way about an FFVI remake without some reassurances.

The FFIV GBA remake was great. Great new translation, great additions. It was an expansion and an improvement.

The FFVI GBA remake removed the part where the soldiers punch Celes. I mean, seriously? We had to take that out? That kind of random censorship doesn't bode well for any future remakes of the game, in my opinion.

I agree with what a lot of other people have been saying about the graphics, too. FFVI had a more mature storyline. The cute little SD guys in FFIVDS are pushing it for me. I don't want to see that in FFVI. The sprites weren't cute on purpose, at least.

I think a remake is probably coming at some point in the future. I don't know if it will be on the DS or what, and I haven't seen anything official about of Squenix about the possibility.

That's a seriously solid point there, and that was probably the major reason why FFIV was remade, and why a FFVI (or another FF) remake wasn't started before it. The funny thing is, because of the FFIV announcement and excitement, we're talking about a FFVI remake.

And I'd cringe at the graphics if they were like FFIV DS, also. I'd much rather have a third-generation console remake.
