And some expressions are actually combinations of sprites. ;)

Also, all of the key developers for the original have all been busy making new games for...like 15 years now. III and IV DS have been the pet projects of Tanaka because he directed those games, for VI I would imagine Yoshinori Kitase, Hideo Minaba, T2 and Tetsuya Nomura would all have to be on board.

I don't see how Nomura would be important though, his role in VI was pretty minor looking at the game credits. I must say I'm curious to see what Kitase would do with VI if he directed a 3D remake. Its been awhile since he directed an FF game but after dealing with the series current director, I'm starting to wish he would come back.

Somehow I feel the team would want to do more with VI than a DS remake.

It was my understanding he was the graphic director on FFVI. Maybe I'm mistaken. That said though, I would rather he not be involved. I don't think his visual style, or where he seems to be as a game director would suit a remake of FFVI. Maybe he could pull it off and make a contribution fans would be pleased with, but I can't see it based on his recent works.

He was one of 4 art directors for the game. Wikipedia simply says he was the "designer for some characters", so it's kind of hard to tell how extensive his role was.

I feel that a Final Fantasy VI remake would be served best as a full remake in either a high quality 3D graphical style or a high quality 2D graphical style. This is not the type of game that I would want to see remade for a portable system at this time, honestly.

Body language? http://www.videogamesprites.net/Fina...%20(Front).gif
You arguement is body language!? http://www.videogamesprites.net/Fina...%20Shocked.gif
How could you possibly say that FF6 has any less body language then games like FF7 or FF8http://www.videogamesprites.net/Fina...0-%20Angry.gif

Can we all just sit and just imagine here... if ffvi was released on ps3 or xbox360? i know, cherish the 2D (i prefer it anyday, snes), but still. the story itself is timeless, i have not found a better one to date. it would totally blow all of the other rpg's today out of the water, no lie.

just imagine.

ps. with the whole celes torture scene, i agree, it should've stayed in.

The game ALREADY came out in 2D. :P If it gets remade, they have to change it up a bit or it'd be pretty pointless. The cutscenes in the PS1 version showed the characters can look amazing in 3D.

Or, you know, we could always go with some high quality hand drawn 2D sprites, or something along those lines. I can't say I'd mind FFVI with 2D graphics of the sort of quality found in, say, Odin Sphere. Particularly if they based the visuals on Amano's designs.

Changing things up doesn't mean it can't still be 2D.

I guess that high-quality 2D (which means no sprites) could be an interesting way to present VI, as it would be true to its roots. But I think that 3D allows the developers to put a lot more detail into the world, and make it a lot more believable.

I know someone will disagree with me on this, but look at how beautiful some of the locations were in X and XII. In XII, especially, the Phon Coast is spectacular. But one would lose that sense of grandeur and scale in 2D.

However, as I've mentioned before, I don't think VI should be remade for a portable system. From what I've played, I think it deserves more than that, and only a remake on a next-gen console would be appropriate.

Being a Final Fantasy junkie since the late 80's I would have to agree with everyone on here that this does really need to be remade. A few years ago I was one of those that supported square in remaking FFVI but over time I see there's really no need for it. Everything about that game was beautiful. The Story line (and everyones back stories), The opening sequence when Terra and the vector soliders are walking towards Narshe, The escape from Narshe, The break up of the parties and picking diferent senarios to chose from, The Opera House and My favorite of all The World of Ruin. To remake this game is not needed but if square-enix has a need to then so be it. Like everyone else I'll still play it soley for the fact that its Final Fantasy VI (My all time favortie RPG and all around Video game).

The up grade to the garphics is nice but thats not what makes the game. Its the Game creators and the gamers that do. I understand where the one poster who said he/she doesn't have a nostalga for games like this because of the graphics. For anyone not to play game because the graphics are a out-dated is a silly and foolish reason to have. The story, game play, and qulity of the game make it worth at least checking it out.

I have had this disscusion many times over with friends and on my old Final Fantasy Forum. We all have our opinions and feelings on why or why they shouldn't make a remake of a SNES classic such as FFVI. Its just like my grandmother used to tell me "If it ain't broke don't fix the damn thing."

Well FFVI isn't broken so don't fix it.

One last thing Final Fantasy Six is the best in the series I don't care what people say about seven Six is the granddaddy of them all.
