A large part of me wants to agree with this post, just on principle. The problem is that Square's games post-SNES just haven't appealled to me as much as they did before. There are some obvious exceptions: IX was fantastic, Tactics remains my favorite SRPG yet, and Xenogears disc one was good times. But for the most part, what's come out under the label just doesn't have the same magic for me. So to answer the original plea, I wouldn't mind a remake if they did something to enhance the game (aside from the graphics), but apart from adding some plot to the second half of the game I'm not sure what that would entail.

Touch works because it is a simple tap and choose. You can't take an active time battle and use some stupid pointer and highlight Attack, Magic, Defend, etc... without having your opponent pull off quite a few attacks first.

It would be HORRIBLE.

I can say one thing, if SE does this and destroys this game to appeal to many who don't even appreciate what this game was, then I for one will be done with them. This game is too much of a gem to waste time on pointless gameplay experiments which will undoubtedly anger the FFVI fanbase.

I would rather take no remake and boot it up on my SNES again.

Yeah I guess it would be better for a new game that didn't use the ATB.

I hated FF XII, so they can experiment with that game all they want. :)

ATB to some is slow enough as it is, I just see a Wii remake on FFVI just turning those people away even more as it would slow gameplay down another notch.

XII wasn't turnbased though. I think it would be better in a new ip.  If a remake for VI does come to a home console It will probably come to the wii because of developement costs and it's appeal in japan. I'm sure they wouldn't make motion controls too gimickly in battles. Just let you point or use the nunchuck to pick menu systems. A ds remake will probably be more likely thiough, and it would be nice.

I know. FFXII though is a game where I wouldn't mind them experimenting with the battle system since I hated it so much.

I just think turn based is kind of impossible on Wii unless you make the game manditory use of Classic or Gamecube controller, but if that was done, then a Wii remake would seem pointless.

A game like Fable however, although it will never happen, would easily work on the Wii.

Well I don't see turnbased showing up much at all this gen. Yeah and it would be pointless to the gamer, but to the company that wants to make money and spend the least, it probably makes alot of sense. There is this one game though that is coming to the ds. I believe it has to do with witches and runes or something. Well to attack and use magic you have to draw the rune symbols on the ds screen. This could probably work on the wii. It wouldn't take long to do quick gestures. ALso you choose your options using the nunchuck. So that would allow for normal play. For existing games that rune idea probably wouldn't work, but for new games it probably would work very nicely.

double post

I will buy FF6 remake no matter where it goes. It is one of the Few FFs I have not yet played(1,2,5,6)

^Heh, nice double post. :p

Yes I agree there are plenty of RPG's that would work well on the Wii and it does seem like turn based is fading, although I seriously do not want every game I play to require gestures and hand movements.

I have always been one to get out of work, come home and game for a couple of hours and head off to sleep. I am more of a kick back and relax gamer. Have been for over 20 years now.

Not to say they shouldn't make them, but I dread the day turn based vanishes. Thank Mistwalker for breathing some life back into the genre with Lost Odyssey, easily one of the top RPG's this gen.
