As much as I'd like to see this I just don't see it happening. Even though it's a remake, the Wii's hardware is not significantly more powerful than the PS2 and debatably not at all better than Xbox on which FF2 was already released. Why would fans of the series buy the same game again, but now on Wii.


I'd certainly argue that the Wii hardware's more powerful than the Xbox.

Plenty of people bought the Wii version of Resident Evil 4 despite it not presenting a graphical leap and being essentially the same game just with superior controls. FF2 actually offers extra modes and endings over previous versions of the game as well as  overhauled visuals and camera. 

That has absolutely nothing to do with the consoles. That is a developer decision.

As far as what Gamerace said. The Wii's hardware is over 3 times as powerful as the PS2 and around 2 times as powerful as the Xbox1. 

The screen shots alone show huge leaps in the graphical quality. The PS2 character models had drawn on eyes, lips, hair, cloths and blocky fingers with backdrops used for baground graphics. The Wii character models had prounced lips and and eyes with detail, strands of hair, loose clothing like the strap on the girls shoulder, round fingers tips, more varied/detailed coloration and lighting, and the actual forestry.
