Final Fantasy V Remake confirmed for Smartphone

I think that a 3DS remake would of been so much better and worth buying for than a new character sprite that looks like it came straight out of RPG Maker XV.

Sadly, even it has better sprite work, it will still look like an RPG maker game.

I despise this. Not because I don't want an FFV remake, it means that there will inevitably be an FFVI remake.

Bartz still looks like a woman.. Why Amano, why?

Because why not?

I'll probably get this.

I actually really enjoy the text system they seem to have implemented. Haters gonna hate I suppose

Now where's my FFIX International 3D HD remake with extra content, and expansion upon Vivi, Freya, and Amarant's stories?

Won't happen cause prerendered backgrounds look terrible when upscaled and remaking them all would take a smurfton of work.

I'm glad that SE is committed to this sprite art style that I hate so much.

Why not in 3D like FF3 and FF4? IMO those were the best products SE has made in a decade.

Where's my 3D remake?!

FF3 and 4 looked like trout in 3D.

Only because the DS wasn't a very powerful 3D console. 3DS would look far better. In any case, it would be better than another slightly-updated-sprites-port that won't even have the advantage of including an interlude and sequel in the package like FF IV: TCC. If that were the case, sure, I'd be more lenient. This, though? Doesn't look all that great so far. In fact, I'd say those sprites look worse than the original. They aren't even giving us the high-res sprites from the PSP ports, the hell?!

I actually prefer these sprites to the FFIV PSP ones. They look a lot like the classic ones, just HD. Also, judging by Dimensions, these will look much better on retina.

Only if the resolution of the sprites is increased. Retina won't magically create image data out of nothing.

I think it is. I know Dimensions looked loads better on my iPhone than on any screenshot I had seen before that. So there you go.

I'd rather be doing this on something that isn't my cell phone. Was hoping for the PSP treatment like FFIV got.

I need to counteract all the hate in these comments

I love the little touches to the interface, like the dialogue frames as well as ATB bars being so stylized.

Why does it have to be iOS though? I've got no room on my ipod for a game that big, plus I don't like gaming on it either...sigh. 3DS would have been a better choice.

You can get it on android too!

I have to disagree with that. These don't look HD. The monster sprites show barely any difference from the original, and the character sprites are simply in a different form, but the resolution, detail or pixels or whatever don't look much better than the GBA port, let alone as high as the PSP ports. Whether one likes the style of the PSP ports or not, they did provide some very clean and HD sprites (I don't really see what's wrong with the IV: TCC sprites, they provided a nice mix of the classic sprites and the DS character models, and the monsters were gorgeous). This, however, looks more like a step to the side than a step forward.
