Who are they similar to?
I know this thread isn't about Nintendo versus Sony, but I just want to say
The DS was out in 2004, DS lite in 2006, DSi in 2008, DSi XL in 2010. And now the 3DS in 2011.
The PSP was out in 2005, the 2000 in 2007, the 3000 in 2008, the Go in 2009. The Vita will be in 2011.
So in fact, Sony had the same number of iterations in less years than Nintendo had, less spread out. And no one forced anyone to buy the next iteration of the Nintendo portable any more than the Sony one. So stop being a fanboy and get your facts straight. Nintendo has always consistently updated their portable systems, and they have survived the portable market because of it. Unlike the console market, upgrading portables more often makes sense. If Sega had updated the Game Gear sooner to require less batteries or what not, they probably would have lasted longer. Sony saw that's how Nintendo survived portable gaming, and they have done the exact same thing. So, as they say, don't hate the player, hate the game... especially when both players do it.
On topic, I don't really see any need for remakes these days. I mean sure, it could be nice, and I would probably buy it, but I don't find them necessary. And if it were a remake of either game, I wouldn't want either option listed!
THE JACKEL
Personally I would prefer a PSN & XBLA BIG 2d remake, something similar but even bigger than what they just did with Tactics Ogre. Format everything for 1080p, re-do the artwork, give the artists thousands of shiny new colors to mess with you, have Uematsu do a new arrangement of the score, bring the translations into more like their originals like FFIV Complete and Tactics Ogre.
I don't think a full blown, AAA retail game 3d remake is possible for Square right now, and yeah the ports are getting old. Do something real special like they deserve.
I would definitely get remakes of FFV and FFVI. I have the PSX FF Anthology.
Somewhat off-topic. But, I would love to see a HD collection of FFX-Int'l and FFX-2-Int'l+LM. Two games for one priced collection that is...
Just like how Kojima & Konami are doing HD collections for: MGS series, ZOE series, and SH series. Not to mention; they are also giving that treatment to the superb MGS Peace Walker.
Btw, I love the Tactics Ogre remake; as well as FFT:WotL.
Definately a remake from scratch. I've tried playing ff1 to 6 when they were re-released in UK around 2002-2003 ish but I couldn't get on with the graphics. I would be very interested in ff1 -6 remade with ff13 graphics, probably easier said than done.
