Final Fantasy VI Remake

[Arthurdent_78]

Squeenix said they would most likely not remake a game on the scale of FFVI-XII on PS3 as the amount of time for games of that size, detail, and length would be too much. This was during an interview regarding FFXIII.

What I don't understand, however, is that FFXIV is an MMORPG. Therefore it probably has a gigantic world with many characters. I would think that making that took just as long, if not longer, than an FFVI remake would, but I am not a game designer, so I don't know.

Also, as I posted a few posts ago, Nintendo is releasing a new handheld console. Currently its called the 3DS. It uses parallax-barrier technology (most likely made by Sharp, who just announced that they will begin production on 3.4" parallax-barrier 3D screens with and without touch screen capability) to provide 3D screens without the need for those mildly annoying glasses. Also, the system is supposed to have an analog control stick, cartridges with much higher storage capacity, vibration capability, motion sensing, and graphics on par with the GameCube.

Thus, my thought is that Squeenix probably knew this system was in the works and was waiting to remake FFV and FFVI (and perhaps...dare I say it, FFVII) for this system. Imagine... FFVI with PS2/XBOX/GameCube quality graphics, and in 3D!
