I very much doubt that they'll remake it on phones. Porting to phones, though, i could totally see (especially after they finally cracked open the code for the FF7 PC release, which I thought at the time might be a route towards a PSN/XBLA release of that same version of the old engine.) I don't have a problem with them doing that.
But if they do any remastering of it, I really hope they look beyond iOS/Android to consoles and handhelds because these products liker FF The After and a lo-fi FFVII remake could easily be sold as a digital game on major platforms without crazy expectations from fans that it be the definitive version. (Not sure how I'd feel about the microtransaction-heavy version coming to PS4/Xbone, but the systems are just as capable of fleecing buyers as a phone if that makes for good business.)

Interesting that you guys are so down on FFV. The intended audience apparently loved it.
I looked over some of the reviews, and more than a few mentioned liking the graphics.
We used to be Square's intended audience...

Have you seen the DS III/IV remakes? Have you seen V remake for ios?
You can understand the anger.

I've seen reviews on Sonic 4 where people said the music is exactly what they've remembered from the Genesis games... lol

If they arent going to put the time into remaking FFVI to look like a true 2D HD representation of the game, then I hope they at least try to achieve an updated look of the original FFVI like Secret of Mana did for the mobile version.
Just TRY SQUARE. FFVI deserves to have some TLC put into it's remake.
Don't pull this cookie cutter lazy shit
This is the reason people lost faith in your company. You lost the passion Square

Because FFV looked like total garbage and they specifically said it will look like FFV, so with the entirety of the information we have right now, it sounds really shitty.
But I expect you didn't want an actual answer and posed an argument in question form.

FFV:
And the fucked up thing? Those aren't even cherry picked bad screen shots... those are actually the two screenshots SE chose to make viewable in the App Store!
Sixteen bucks.
Exactly. I'm totally okay with FF ports on iOS -- I just don't want them to cause eye cancer.
For instance grinding was an issue and people had to spend a lot of time leveling up. Now on the mobile devices the battle systems have been adjusted so you don't have to fight as much and can enjoy the game for what it is."
lol it's quite the opposite Se. playing mobile let you grind any time effortless since you can always resume from the point one left and this make advancing thru the game easier.....
they shouldn't alter the battles....

And people don't like seeing their favorite games getting shitty soulless remakes. It's not a hard concept to grasp dude.

This is a very pleasant announcement. I loved FFVI on the SNES, was disappointed by it on the PSX, liked the additional content on GBA and now the best Final Fantasy is coming to my favourite mobile device (iPad, tablets in general). Together with the recent announcement of the iOS Dragon Quest ports, very good news indeed!

I would buy FFVII if it includes pad support.

any part of the article that was like 'we listen to all the (selective) positive feedback so we decided ff5 ios would be how we do ff6?'
because unless i'm missing something, few have been kind with ff5 look.

Junior, please.
Square pissing all over their greatest legacy confirmed.
Fuck you Square.
FUCK YOU.
The meteor tiles is so offensively ugly. How the hell did they screw that up? Look at how it's tiled lol
FF6 had grinding unless you were doing like T-Rex grinding?
Like, in all the times I have played through FF6, even my first, I never actually had to grind (as in, staying in one area building up levels just to get past one boss). If "fighting enemies on your way through a dungeon" is what is considered "grinding" these days, then I just don't know.

Oh yes. They look terrible! Absolutelly. No question there.
But it does not affect the original, right?
I mean, you can still play it on a PC, PS3, Vita, Emulator, whatever...
Even if it sucks, why should we care? Just pretend it doesn't exist and move on.
Unless of course you are interested in playing it in your Ipad/Iphone...
Well, it's the best game in the series.

What's sad is they know we've been waiting for V & VI 3D remakes ever sense they announced it
but square wants to ignore that and put up a fundraising site asking for game ideas they already know we want

Why is anyone who has been following this shit company for the past two years surprised by this?
We knew this was coming. It was inevitable.
The true meltdowns will come when they show the amateurish RPGMaker redone graphics.
That's when we'll know we are truly staring into the abyss.
These past few days I've been happily reminiscing about getting the SNES/US version 19 years ago. Then I see this news and it's like a glove slap to the face.

Uh... yeah? This isn't exactly late breaking news. There are basically two choices to the question of which FF are the most beloved
and the answer between those two basically boils down to whether you were born before or after about 1981, lol.

My honest reaction:
To be fair, playing through iPad FFV this summer for the Four Job Fiesta, that image was the only instance I ever noticed in the entire game of stitching and it indeed looked rough in that one moment.
The rest of the game was absolutely gorgeous outside of the character sprites getting less attention than the greatly improved monsters, spell effects, and backdrops(which were stunning). The character sprites did somewhat stand out for sure, but on the whole it was a satisfying looking port.
GAF wouldn't know though given that infamous meteor shot killed their chances of actually trying the game. A shame that a true HD remake on Vita or 3DS would have been more ideal, but eh...FFV was a very nice improvement visually over the SFAM/GBA game.
LOL I know right? The only hard part is that game is the extra dungeon in the GBA version - other then that no grinding required.

This is either epic sarcasm of you haven't seen how they butchered FFV
