Square Enix will be releasing a modified version of the beloved Final Fantasy VI, originally released in North America in 1994 as Final Fantasy III, this winter for iOS and Android, long-time Square director and producer Takashi Tokita told Kotaku today. The game won't be a straight port.

Buggle Up! Danger! Danger! (Genocide!) Death the Crisis! Dangerous Zombie!

Uh, I meant to post my comment in the other thread here... I guess I'll just quite myself, haha.

"We all knew this was coming. It's days like this that I'm glad I don't have a smart phone so I'm in no way shape or form even bothered by this since it doesn't affect me. I mean, you could argue it does since I'll never see a "good" remake but then I'd argue that you shut the hell up and move along, sir. I SAID GOOD DAY."

Currently Playing: Dark Cloud 2: 3 hours.
Also Playing: CT, FF VI, Solatorobo, Secret of Mana, Halo 4.
Just Finished: Fable II: 7 hours.

I doubt SE would go the FFIII and IV DS route with this though and instead probably just remake it the way that FFV was remade for portable devices (smoothed pixels and rework the script).

Still, a part of me is dying inside at this news. :(

Does Square-Enix purposely hate it's fans? Why do I keep imaginaing the Square-Enix board room doing nothing but tryign to find ways to piss off its fans?

If their "rework" doesn't solely consist of reverting to the Ted Woolsey original and stop fucking with perfection you assholes, then they are failing at their job.

God, I hope not. Please let that thing die already. But still, I feel like the GBA version pretty much nailed it. I don't feel like there's need to tinker with the script anymore.

I posted this to the 1up facebook page yesterday(PM me if you want to join). On one hand, it can be good that a new audience can play the best rpg ever made. On the other, it will piss me off to no end if they screw up the graphics. They need to retain the original game's theme and tone, and not make it fit in with the cartoony sprite work of the other releases. It had a gothy, steampunk feel to the atmosphere, and I'll be pretty upset if they don't do justice to the original. We will just have to wait and see, I guess.

I'll probably end up buying it, I'll definitely be interested to see any updated sprites. My only hope is that a Vita/3DS version ends up coming out as well, as the main thing I hate about playing games on the iPhone is using the touch screen controls.

This'll still be a nice excuse for me to play the game again.

That's not a remake, it's a demake.

It pains me to see what they're doing to the classics. Those sprites...

I'm on wait and see mode, but I would much prefer a 3DS release over iOS.
