Do you think Square Enix will port/remake this game any time soon again, or even ever again? The DS version seems like the 'Final' version of Final Fantasy III, but on the other hand, FF III DS still could be improved in some places. So do you think they will? And would you actually want them to? (And if so, what platform?)

Personally, I'd like to see it happen, but I guess that answer will surprise nobody since I'm FF III's most dedicated fan, apparently. Don't get me wrong, as a FF III fan I am incredibly happy with the translated NES rom and FF III DS. Problem is being happy alone isn't any fun. Say what you want, but of all mainstream FF games (so no spinoffs or sequels like X-2) I feel FF III is the most disliked/overlooked/forgotten entry. You can't say FF III really has any fans that say it's their favourite FF (well, except for me of course, though FF III has to share its first place with IX). It's in the same boat as FF II, I guess.

III DS in general did not improve people's view on FF III. There are even those who deny that FF III was ever released in the west and pretend III DS does not exist or is not FF III for whatever the reasons. No, in fact, this game is called overrated (the hell?! It never got the chance to be 'overrated' in the first place!). You know, it really hurts my poor FF III fan-heart to see some reviews tear FF III DS appart and call it the embodiment of reasons why FF III was never released outside of Japan in the first place.

I'd love to see an incredibly updated FF III on a console like say... PS3 or so. Bringing the already incredible story up to today's standards, 3D graphics that would make the Crystal Tower and the Final Battle even more cool and so on... The game would gain much more fans here in the west then, I think. Sure, it would have changed so much that one could argue if it's really FF III. But like there are any fans of the game here in the west that remember, or care enough about FF III's roots (most people don't even know that the original had no main characters like the DS version). And while Japan would perhaps be displeased, if SE really wants 75% of their profit to come from outside Japan, this should be no problem. To no longer be alone in having FF III as my nr 1 favourite FF (well together with IX in my case), is my greatest dream. *dreamy sigh*

Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if things would really be that much different if SE had just released FF III on the GBA...

This has become quite a long post for a topic that just asks if SE would ever port/remake this game again... Heh... So yeah, what do you guys think about FF III's 'future'?
