Our favorite classic Final Fantasy is finally getting it's remake for iOS and Android phones and tablets, following the recent spree of remakes and ports to these devices.
Announced by Square Enix Director and Producer Takashi Tokita, the game won't be a straight port.
"It is basically like a remake of the original VI" Tokita announced at the end of his presentation on Final Fantasy V on mobile devices. "But there have been some enhancements."
We can expect the battle systems to be altered for ease of use on mobile devices. However, Tokita was quoted saying "The battle systems have been altered from the other Final Fantasy mobile releases, and VI will be the same. For instance, grinding was an issue and people had to spend a lot of time leveling up. Now on the mobile devices, the battle systems have been adjusted so you don't have to fight as much, and can enjoy the game for what it is."
What does that mean? Easier experience? All party members gaining levels when not in the party? Who knows....
The graphics will be enhanced, akin to the release of Final Fantasy V.
"The legacy series won't end with VI" Tokita said "We are aware we have tons of VII fans, We have VII fans in our own company. If this Legacy project works out well, we would like to one day be able to work with VII."
Does this mean a possible release of the long awaited VII remake? Only time will tell. I for one am just ecstatic hearing the news of my favorite Final Fantasy getting a remake after waiting for many years.
