@Swoosh2000: Agreed. It's one of the reasons I'm waiting to see where the next round of remakes goes: if FFV hits on the DS it's back to business as usual, but if it lands on the Wii with the Crystal Tools engine (or whatever it's called) it's going to be indicative of a whole new ballgame.

 

Wouldn't keeping the SNES FF/DQ remakes on the DS while the Wii gets the PSX-era ones make the most sense? 

FFV and FFVI Remakes should be on the DS, FFVII however could go on the Wii. 

I'm not even sure if FFVII/VIII/IX Remakes would be possibly on DS for storage reasons. 

And again that would help bring the core RPG gamer, and would also give Square-Enix a big money-maker for the Western Wii market (which DQX probably isn't). 

Making sense? It's had to say. It all depends on where Square sees the most money being made. f they think there's more money to be made on the Wii, they'll put it there. Though i agree, it is difficult to imagine them seeing more money there.

If they're on the DS, though, I don't think it would be for the sake of continuity. After all, FFI and FFII were remade thice, for the GBA and the PS1 and the PSP, but FFIII landed on the DS. It's difficult to establish a pattern in what they'e doing with the remakes.

I think it would be possible, though it might be expensive. Downscaling the pre-rendered background for the smaller resolution of the DS screens, superior video compression vs. 11 years ago.... they could do it. It would just be hard.

I would agree with you concerning the Western market except that Nintendo is going to be the one pushing Dragon Quest in the West. Anything could happen.
