this is ff5's chance to finally be superior graphics-wise to ff4 <3
Don't know if you noticed, but it has always been. FF IV was FF III graphics with SNES colours. FF V was SNES power showing through. Just look at the difference in trees, damn it! Just because the characters both are 16x16 doesn't mean they're the same. V's look much more defined and clear. IV's are still very much blocky and NES-ish.
Really, this whole "V is inferior to IV graphics wise" is bull. A newer FF is NEVER graphically inferior to its predecesor. Well, you can debate about VI and VII, but IV and V? That's a no-brainer. V > IV graphics-wise.
Even then it's still obvious V is miles ahead of IV. Monsters are far more detailed, characters looked sharper and more defined instead of being big and blocky, dungeons were far more detailed too, especially if it was a cave-type, spells were richer and more fluid in animation, and lets not forget the awesomesouce of graphical power that was NeoExDeath's battlebackground.
No, really, do people actually pay attention to V? What, so the characters in IV and V are both 16x16 pixels on the map, so that means V was no big leap ahead or something? Please. I know V's always been the black SNES sheep with people saying it sucks in everything but gameplay, but common, the graphical superiority of V is CLEARLY noticable. Caves actually look like caves, not square corridors with rock textures.
I just don't get it. =/
So much talk about V, not a bad idea, but he asked about VI too, I would prefer 3DS, I saw it at e3, its great, would be great to see kefka shoot magic and such in 3D, I actually ducked my head as boulder flew at me in the mario kart trailer when i was playing it...would be awesome.
I'm all for the idea of it being on the 3DS now, seeing as how the 3DS is going to be capable of playing something like MGS3 on it when it finally comes out, that means it will definetly have the power of a console behind it so I won't need to worry about them cutting corners just to fit the whole game on the system.
Editga: Looks like Hashimoto is keeping the remake dreams alive
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I'd love to see good old V on the DS, just to hear a new, improved version of Harvest.

They absolutely should. The remakes for Three and Four were terrific, and "Four Heroes of Light" is very well made. As long as they don't make any giant story changes, and only add a few extra game modes I'm all for them continuing these all the way up to FF9.
However, chances are (unfortunately) that you won't see a remake of Five on the DS, but the 3-DS.
I prefer remakes to be on the latest possible console. So, if Square Enix wanted to release a remake of Final Fantasy V for a Nintendo handheld console, then I would rather wait for the Nintendo 3DS and the release of the game at a much later date.
I believe in the power of humanity.
Needs less thinking and more doing, betcha their waiting on the 3ds.
NEEDS MOAR GILGAMESH.
