A Final Fantasy VI remake this year for 3DS ?

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Final Fantasy franchise and Square Enix is already starting the festivities with the reveal of a rather odd logo for the occasion.

Yet, this same logo seems to indicate which game Square Enix could be reworking for this year's celebrations. Could it be Final Fantasy VI ?

A FF10 HD remake, a FF6 3DS remake.....are Square trying to ignore FF7 completly. I understand that they've said a FF7 remake is hard to do but come on, don't hold off on a fan requested thing for years then go a head and do remakes of other games instead....thats mean.

floetry1014465d ago

You are talking about a possible remake for one of the greatest games ever made. It can't be taken lightly. Why rush out a masterpiece for unforgiving fans? In fact, FFVII should probably never even be touched. Not to mention the fact that FFVI is arguably the better game and maybe the best in the series that few have actually taken the time to play.

Skate-AK4465d ago

Nah I don't think any game is the greatest.

Dac2u4465d ago

What!? There's no arguing, FFVI IS the greatest!

On a serious note, I agree with floetry, a remake of any of the great FF games can't be rushed. I'm not sure that I even trust SE to handle the task.

NewMonday4465d ago

FF6 didn't get re-released(maybe just once recently) and remastered and re-made over and over like FF1-5. so many post FF7 fans don't know much about it, its only the 2nd best ever JRPG after Chrono Trigger.

imagine if they go all out and remake it with FF13 engine used for the FF10 remake. believe me it will blow your minds.

n4f4464d ago

beside wouldn't you rather see a ff7 on the strongest machine?(ps3 or wiiu?)

jc485734465d ago

hmmmm...wonder if they would consider releasing it on the Vita as well. I think they should remake FFV and FFVI before they even start thinking about remaking FFVII.

Kamikaze1354465d ago

I agree. FFX is only being released because of all the PS2 re-releases and SE seems to want to do something over the top. SE also seems to be in the process of remaking all of the main entry FF games. I hope they're going to announce remakes of V and VI.....honestly, i don't care for which system, I just want to get my hands on a FFVI remake.

Mac is OK4465d ago

Right, they have already made the FF I and II remake on the GBA plus III and IV on DS (also a different remake of IV on PSP). They have said they were waiting to see how current hanhelds do before remaking V, so I'm sure they'll continue doing them in order, and VII will probably come on the next generation of handhelds, unless they decide to make something especial for it and do it on consoles. The FFX one is not even a remake I think, just an HD port.

Kamikaze1354465d ago

@Mac is OK

I remember reading that the only reason V and VI didn't get a remake for the DS or PSP was because they were having problems with the battle system. Not sure what that meant. My guess is that they've been working on it for a while and shelved it after they encountered some sort of bug or issue so they could concentrate on other projects. I guess now with the 25th anniversary, they have a reason to get back to them.

Why not release ffx remake on 3DS then?

Slade4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

Companies do exclusives for a reason

why put something on a system that doesnt sell like vita ( lets be real, right now it isnt)? it doesnt make sense. Square knows that which is why the bulk of there support is 3ds exclusive.

dont be butthurt

Godchild10204465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

If they are going to remake it, why not remake it for the Vita as well. I kn ow you can download it from the PSN store, but I would like to earn trophies.

JC48573 beat me to it.

Godchild10204465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

I'm not "butthurt" I can download it on the PSN and play it on the Vita, so not mad or as you say "Butthurt" at all. I also have a 3DS, so I can play it on that as well.

The Vita has been out worldwide yet, so you can't say it doesn't sell until it's out worldwide and it been longer then 2 weeks of it's release.

Also if Square wants to maximize their sells they will release it on both platforms, like they did with FFXIII and XIII-2.

TheColbertinator4465d ago

Again? Squaresoft is now 10 feet under

SandwichHammock4465d ago

wow, if this happens, and its not a PSV release as well, I might get a 3DS. I'm not kidding, though I wish I was.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

Profchaos5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle4d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger4d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag4d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

jznrpg8d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.

FFVI is a timeless classic, surely one of the best games ever created.

_Decadent_Descent13d ago

I really do wish they'd give it the FF7R treatment.

phoenixwing13d ago

Ff6 is probably the most deserving for that

Cacabunga13d ago

Octopath traveller or Star Ocean remake treatment would fit it better i think

FinalFantasyFanatic12d ago

I'd rather it play more or less the same by have the 3D chibi graphics from Ever Crisis, I don't want them to change the story like they did with FF7R.

Wish they still made them like this, obviously with a graphic update.
