Support NeoGAF

[R.I.P]

I don't even care anymore, squeenix can just fuck off.

 

[Terra_Ex]

The graphics, he said, will be refined for cellphones. They'll still be 2D but sharpened, a la the recent mobile release of V.

Haha, not a chance, SE. I won't be touching this.

 

[ec0ec0]

:,( sad... (i should have had something prepared to say for a day like this)

 

[braves01]

Lol

The future of gaming right here

 

[nictron]

A remake of FF6 on consoles would tank super hard. Thia is logical and easy. If you ever expect a true FF6 remake you're crazy.

You can say what you want about Sony or Microsoft or Square or whatever. Just leave my sad fantasy of a semi-grand upgrade of my favorite game...

Spoiler

Ok, maybe I am crazy

 

[Liha]

 

[Pooya]

They'll still be 2D but sharpened, a la the recent mobile release of V.

oh dear

 

[LuchaShaq]

Would buy on vita or 3ds, not in my phone.

FFV:

 

[HolyBaikal]

Wait...so they made the game easier? By taking out grinding because people complained? It's a freaking RPG!

It's a sign of industry shifts.

wRPG fans who don't like jRPGs complained that to "fix" the Japanese RPG, you need to take out this, this, this and this.

And it looks like companies are complying.

 

[kayos90]

Not enough no's to describe how I feel even if I didn't like FF6.

 

[X05]

Wtih FF I-V being available and recently announcing the DQ games being ported to phones, this was a given.

I fully expect all the other ones to follow suit in relative short term.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I hope it will look less like FFV iOS and more like Nomura's original art:

Ahh, who am I kidding ;__;

 

[Aeana]

 

[Nyoro SF]

FFV:

Holy shit. Someone just shoot me now if that's what it will look like.

 

[orioto]

 

[Impeccable]

Please consider a PSN/XBLA/Vita release, Square.

 

[Duress]

I give up Square-Enix.

News like this doesn't even phase me anymore, because I know any announcement is going to disappoint me.

 

[Conan-san]

No complaints here. You put that on Google Play for fifteen bucks and that might as well read "Craig McLeod's awkward teenage years, the game HD" for all it matters to me.

 

[Trojita]

 

[Durante]

I hope they do better with the character art than FFV's remake.

Sadly, it wasn't just the character art that was shitty in that. I was looking for that screenshot with the atrocious "rock" background but I haven't found it so far.

Edit: Aenea posted it!

Just, yeah.

 

[KarmaCow]

FFV:

Yea I don't think it's inherently a bad idea to put it on smartphones but why should anyone have faith that this wont be an abomination. :(

[quote="Aeana, post: 85448434"][img]http://i7.minus.com/ibicim2Nf44Fw7.PNG[img][/QUOTE]

why

 

[MechaX]

Screw the asteroid, that's actually supposed to be Bartz guys.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Please, someone take out this metal stake that's stuck inside my heart!

It's over. Seriously. I waited a looooong time for a FFVI remake akin the FFIII/IV remakes but we get this instead? So it'll be like V remake on ios?

DO NOT WANT!!! DO NOT WANT!!!

One of my favorite and most beloved games too!

Edit: So SE's new strategy, make it cheap as possible but make much money as it can from smartphone owners, quality doesn't matter.

 

[Deckard Cain]

3DS would sell like hotcakes. Just seeing chibi Shadow 3d model...makes my heart warm.

Nope. Actually it wont. Despite what fanboys will tell you FF6 is not popular.

 

[antitrop]

Oh God

 

[jivran]

Final Fantasy 6 is one of my favorite games out there, yet I find myself not giving a single damn about this news. Bravo Square Enix.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

If they remade it with the love they put into FF IV CC then hell yes but if they plan on making it look like the shit show that is FF V then no way

You have two choices in how to update this Square. I beg you to pick the right one

 

[Earthpainting]

Don't even care anymore. They've did a fantastic job at softening the blow.

I feel the same way. The writing has been on the wall for quite some time. I'm also trying to convince myself that this is a better alternative than a hypothetical console remake by Toriyama and his cronies.

 

[Avallon]

The graphics looked phoned-in.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

erauqs ton si dlrow eht

I could take the shift in mobile and the announcements of new card based Ips, that I don't give a fuq, showing up
on the platform... but this I just cant....

Six was so easy already. If you didn't want any of the frosting you could just walk through that game and stomp Kefka. You want the gem box? Then you have to earn it. The best farm point was the tyrannosaur forest and the bastard brachasaurs gave away economizers WHILE YOU WERE GRINDING.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

is

...

...is that supposed to be Bartz standing there

 

[SafeinSound]

Welp.

 

[Durante]

This is an instance where I honestly think simply running the original sprites through something like HQx would be better.

 

[BronsonLee]

If the fabled FF7 remake finally comes out but it's for iOS, I'm going to die laughing

 

[Vitet]

Noooo, I want to play FF6 again, but not like this...

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

The graphics, he said, will be refined for cellphones. They'll still be 2D but sharpened, a la the recent mobile release of V.

Well, I guess this one more S-E iOS release I can not care about. V's "refined" sprites are hideous compared to the original.

 

[wrowa]

I really don't understand why FFV and FF Dimensions look so bad, when at the same time All The Bravest looks perfect. I just don't understand.

 

[Mr.Ock]

This image could very well be the symbol of SE's laziness and stupidity of the last years. Embarassing.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

SE pls

 

[Morfeo]

You're probably not going to want it once you see it.

The sad truth is that you are probably right

 

[Jucksalbe]

The graphics, he said, will be refined for cellphones. They'll still be 2D but sharpened, a la the recent mobile release of V.

Oh god, it feels like every new SquareEnix announcement is just another insult.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Mwa ha ha

At long last FFVI will be remade...and get the same treatment as FF5.

You wanted a remake. And now you shall have it!

Be glad and not sad that even more can soon experience the FF6 epic. On iOS devices.

Get hype. Actually don't.

 

[Nirolak]

I updated the thread to reflect that they also implied FF7 is coming.

 

[jackal27]

FFV:

I don't think my heart can take it you guys. I can't live in a world where these remakes exist.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I updated the thread to reflect that they also implied FF7 is coming.

Some men just want to watch the world burn

 

[Trojita]

 

[LiK]

I updated the thread to reflect that they also implied FF7 is coming.

Sure, why not

 

[Kurtofan]

It hurts.
