Tetsuya Nomura To Announce Widely Requested Game Next Year on VGChartz.com
I pray that's it's actually an FFVI remake.
If any FF game is going to get remade, which game would you want it to be? VI for me, of course. But V would be nice, too. :3
FF Remake?

Secret of Mana? Seiken Densetsu III? Those are my preferences.
But I wouldn't mind a FFV or FFVI remake. Hell, I would even play a FFVII remake since I never have actually finished the original.
Final Fantasy III (the real one) for PS3. V wouldn't be bad either.
But we all know this unannounced game is either FF VII Remake or Kingdom Hearts III. Nothing too interesting.
It'll be FFVII
everybody knows that.
There have been rumors for some time so it's no surprise.
The big question is whether there will be additional content to flesh out some of the characters.
If it is Seiken Densetsu III then I'll be very happy
It doesn't actually say it's a re-make, only that it has been highly requested and will be a big deal. Now, knowing this (and assuming he isn't talking out of his a**), what do you think would match the criteria.
I definitely don't think KHII would match this, as they keep chugging away one the KH series and it just seems inevitable. I've heard interviews where they said they were completely done with FFVII, and for the sake of discussion I'm going to assume that's true.
In terms of remake the most likely candidate in terms of scope of announcement would be FFVI, nothing else (sans FFVII) would hold a candle to it, imo. FFV, SDIII, or others might be well received, but so earth shattering.
I had a lot more in mind when I started this but I seem to be drifting off. To wrap up I would say we kind of seem like beaten dogs when we hear something will be exciting and we automatically assume anything that good must be a remake of something old, because they don't excite us with anything new.
The reason they assume this could be a Remake is because he's said it's something High in Demand, and the highest demands of square people have lately are remakes, so it's a reasonable assumption in this case I'd think.
That said, I do hope they continue on remaking 5 and 6 like they did 4 on DS, if only because it kept the awesome feel of the game, all while adding legitimate improvements to it, making it worth paying for again.
Though I do wish they would give us a New and original console RPG other then FF that is really good, like they use to be able to do so well. I don't think they've really done a great RPG outside of FF since the PS1 era. (I'm not counting action RPG's in this equation.)
They may have said they're done with FFVII
but a remake of FFVII would give them a much greater financial return than any other remade FF game.
I doubt remaking FFV or VI would be worth the trouble and would yield very much of a return on their investment.
shrugs.
They did it with 4 and got quite the return, and VI is more popular the IV was, so it's silly to think it wouldn't give out much of a return.
Not saying it would give out as much as VII, but with it's release on the PSN a year ago, I don't think they'll jump to remake it so soon. They are much more likely to try to milk there biggest money maker as much as possible before pulling out that remake. ;P
According to VGChartz (I have no idea how accurate they are, but probably a reliable enough ballpark) FFIII and FFIV for DS have a combined sales of over 3 million, and Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery had a combined sales of just barely over a million. To me re-releases look like a high return on investment compared to developing new games.
This thread can go here since the article is referencing Square-Enix titles -- not just Final Fantasy games. It could really be anything. I think it's too soon to tell whether it will be an FF game. It would be cool if they remade an older FF -- preferably FFVII or FFVI. I think if they remade any FF earlier than the ones I've mentioned, it would lose it's nostalgia.

:</>D!
Not silly...
I just don't think a remake of V or VI would compare to a remake of FFVII in actual sales figures.Originally Posted by NeoCracker
Believe as you will.
shrugs.
One wonders if the patent news recently publicized has anything to do with this ?
Want a new game, will probably get a remake.
I don't think it will be FFVII though, for a few reasons:
1) People would want it to be the quality of the tech demo, which would be a ridiculous amount of work and money, which I personally don't think they would make back.
2) If I was Square I would be scared as hell to ruin peoples memories of the games (happened when I tried to play it again). However, if they try to fix/change things and make it a batter game, people will complain endlessly.
3) Didn't Square say they weren't doing anything else with this game?
I also think they've mentioned not doing much else with the Mana series after Dawn of Mana blew. I'm gonna go with a VI remake or maybe a remake/reimagining of an old property from the PS1 days. Or maybe a new Tactics game...
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
