Petition to Square Enix to create a new 16 bit FF game

[Bastian]

I have no Idea why you would ask for a 16-bit quality final fantasy game of quality to VI when you should be asking for a current gen graphics quality game of equal quality to VI. No need to short change yourself here.

Because some of us find 16-bit quality charming and prefer it (or enjoy it equally) to current gen graphics. New gen isn't inherantly "better" than 16-bit, it's a completely different style all together.

While I certainly feel the The After Years was an unnecessary endeavor of Squenix, I can't deny the games quality or variety.

Really? I enjoyed it enough that I'm happilly playing through it a second time on my The Complete Collection copy. Yes, I have issues with it (the fact that it reuses SO many of the first game's maps and such) but it introduces a lot that is new, I think.

Anyway, I would love to see more 16-bit retro games. I wish FFLegends would get ported over here.

But anyway.

The problem I have with signing the petition is that it misses the point that S-E already did exactly what the OP asked: they created a brand new 16-bit era style FF game. Final Fantasy Legends. Did it sell well enough to warrent releasing outside of Japan is another matter all together. I have no idea. Does anyone have information about its sales? They brought FF IV:TAY over, but the fact that it was a sequel to one of the best loved FF games probably had more to do with that than Japanese sales.

tl;dr version: They already did; the petition is moot.
