since ff4 is being remade onto the ds, do you think they'll do the same for 5 and 6?

Probably, Square will find an excuse.
Only time will tell.
If IV sells well, there will most definitely be V and VI remakes as well.
Go buy IV when it comes out.
Like people say, it depends on how FF4 does, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're already doing so. Still, I have FF's 1-6 in handheld format, and no amount of additional dialogue is going to justify buying 4 for me again.
I'll just wait until they're all remade for the DS, then buy a DS instead of a GBA.
Well, the DS plays GBA games, so the DS is the way to go in either situation.
The III remake was great (to me) and the one of IV looks real interesting too.
For V and VI though I'd rather see an all out remake like on PS3. No use going half ass on a hell of a game like this.
Like many others have said, I think SE will remake FFV and FFVI for DS if FFIV DS sells well enough. However, it will take a while, at least a few years or so, to reach European stores. Doesn't matter, though, since I don't have a DS anyway. :/
You should really get one, or you're missing a lot of fun (and Refia!). Yeah... I know, you can't just buy everything.
Hmm, I know it's kinda illegal but... DS emulators are really advancing. I know one that can play FF XII RW at a very acceptable speed, you just can't save (yet). =/
It's only a matter of time before FF III DS and the other DS Final Fantasy games become fully playable through emulation...
I'm sure SE will make remakes of V and VI.
The question is which system will they decide to support more...
So far there have been 2 games for each handheld.
I hope for FFV on the PSP and FFVI for the PS3.
Yes. We are all HOPING for FF V and VI to be on the PS3, however get real. Seriously. SE is having to be forced to do a FF VII remake (by an online petition that you should all sign). They will continue the trend of making the SNES games on the DS.
I believe the decision has already been made...
Let's see... The PSP has I, II and CC...
That makes 3...
And the DS has III, Revenant Wings and let's not forget Chocobo Tales. And NOW, there's IV coming up...
I think SE stays with Nintendo when it comes to handhelds, and with Sony, when it comes to the big platforms.
It would be weird to make a DS game of FFIV and not the other two Snes games.
PSP has Dissidia FF as well. ;)
And for DS you've forgotten FFTA2 and FF CC RoF. Also "It's a wonderful world" and all the DQ games, but those are no FF games.
Still, DS has the largest SE support.
Depends on how IV DS sells, me thinks.
The DS does have massive SE support, but the PSP is catching up. Don't forget that FFVII game with Zack, as well as the ones you've mentioned. Also, don't forget the Mana games on the DS- there not Final Fantasy, but the show Square support.
Anyway, In my opinion, they won't swich consoles suddenly in the process of remaking a series (yeah, ok, FF1 and FF2 went to the PSP, but a) The're already on the GBA and b) Sqaure decided to remake 3 alone on the DS, because it hadn't been remade before- so the remakes on the DS start with FFIII). So i think that V will be remade on the DS, but i'm unsure about VI. Theres somthing about it that wouldn't be suited to the cute, childlike characters of the DS remakes. I think that they'll leave this one be. Or, alternativly, they might go to the PSP, but remake it in 2D, like FF1- i would really like that, even though i don't have a PSP (DS all the way!), because i don't like the idea of FFVI in 3D, they would somhow screw up the design of the characters. I just can't imagine it working.
Forced by an online petition? Hahahahahaha. Oh Tidus_rox, you kidder. Nobody pays any attention to online petitions.
As soon as FFIV was announced for the DS I gathered that it would just start a trend of Square-Enix releasing new versions of the old SNES games because they know that they'll probably sell quite well. I'm looking forward to how IV turns out but I'm not sure if I'll actually buy it. I wouldn't mind playing V on the DS though.

5 games for the PSP and 6 for the DS.I think that SE wants to keep a balance between the two systems and not favour one over the other.
Yes. V and then VI will be remade for the DS. The sales and critical reception for the DS versions of III and IV have been VERY nice . . . and, frankly, that's what it's all about. Not us whinny fans or petitions.
I wonder what will happen after they remake VI for DS? Will they be able to do VII for the DS or will there be a new handheld by then that they will have to design for?
I'll just keep hoping. Now that I actually own a DS for III and IV I'm having one hell of a hard time tracking down the GBA versions... I hate how the first six FFs, when made available, stayed available for such short periods of time in the PAL regions! Bastards! Always released close to the end of a console's run, either on PSX or GBA!
VII for DS would be funny; the graphics would probably look even worse :P
IF V and VI go to the DS, I hope they don't use the same graphics they've been using (III DS/IV DS) for VI. I don't MIND the graphics style, but it's way too cartoony for VI's plot...
If V DS used the same art style as III and IV I wouldn't mind so much . . . but VI defnately needs to be slightly less cartoony. Really, I wish they could have designed the graphic style for IV DS to look more like the cut sceens. I understand that it can't be as high res, but at least that same style and sort of porportions. The cartoony style was a slight turn off.
The VI remake should keep sprites similar to how they looked in the intro of the PSX version.
Although, when thinking of FF8's attempt at realistic graphics, I'm not so sure...
