Remakes!

Who are they similar to?

If Square has any loyalty to its fanbase, it'll release a remake on the PSP. At least we can be relatively sure that Sony isn't going to release an Uber-PSP anytime soon but Nintendo will release 4DS two months after you own your 3DS because Nintendo are a bunch of soul-sucking black holes.

its called the NGP, and its coming out very soon.

you are so right about nintendo.
here you go, one nintendo ds
yay I got a ds
now we have the better and cooler looking ds lite
_me gusta....
oops, now we have an even better ds xl
.... ok then
DSI!
yay!
DSI XL!
what.... ok.
(the next day)
3DS!
Yay I bought one, what!??!? all these games suck...
(5 minutes after you buy a 3DS) 3DS XL
wtf Imma go buy a psp
(soon to be announced) DS Z (with motion sensors and projector and crap)
too late, I got PSP


meanwhile:

PSP
yay
update for all psp's, and if you havent bought a psp, here at the same price is a psp 2000 that is slimmer and stronger, but does the same things so you dont need to buy it if you have a psp
yay
repeat step 2
yay
psp go! dont bother buying one because we are only making them for a few months
.... ok
NGP (aka ps3 portable)
YAYAYYAYYAYAYAYAY!

I know this thread isn't about Nintendo versus Sony, but I just want to say
The DS was out in 2004, DS lite in 2006, DSi in 2008, DSi XL in 2010. And now the 3DS in 2011.
The PSP was out in 2005, the 2000 in 2007, the 3000 in 2008, the Go in 2009. The Vita will be in 2011.

So in fact, Sony had the same number of iterations in less years than Nintendo had, less spread out. And no one forced anyone to buy the next iteration of the Nintendo portable any more than the Sony one. So stop being a fanboy and get your facts straight. Nintendo has always consistently updated their portable systems, and they have survived the portable market because of it. Unlike the console market, upgrading portables more often makes sense. If Sega had updated the Game Gear sooner to require less batteries or what not, they probably would have lasted longer. Sony saw that's how Nintendo survived portable gaming, and they have done the exact same thing. So, as they say, don't hate the player, hate the game... especially when both players do it.

On topic, I don't really see any need for remakes these days. I mean sure, it could be nice, and I would probably buy it, but I don't find them necessary. And if it were a remake of either game, I wouldn't want either option listed!

Personally I would prefer a PSN & XBLA BIG 2d remake, something similar but even bigger than what they just did with Tactics Ogre. Format everything for 1080p, re-do the artwork, give the artists thousands of shiny new colors to mess with you, have Uematsu do a new arrangement of the score, bring the translations into more like their originals like FFIV Complete and Tactics Ogre.

I don't think a full blown, AAA retail game 3d remake is possible for Square right now, and yeah the ports are getting old. Do something real special like they deserve.

I would definitely get remakes of FFV and FFVI. I have the PSX FF Anthology.

Somewhat off-topic. But, I would love to see a HD collection of FFX-Int'l and FFX-2-Int'l+LM. Two games for one priced collection that is...

Just like how Kojima & Konami are doing HD collections for: MGS series, ZOE series, and SH series. Not to mention; they are also giving that treatment to the superb MGS Peace Walker.

Btw, I love the Tactics Ogre remake; as well as FFT:WotL.

Definately a remake from scratch. I've tried playing ff1 to 6 when they were re-released in UK around 2002-2003 ish but I couldn't get on with the graphics. I would be very interested in ff1 -6 remade with ff13 graphics, probably easier said than done.
