I'd love to see a remake of FFVI... on the 360 or PS3 :P As long as the kept the essence of the game intact, between story, characters, and general character & art design, it would be interesting to see a conversion to 3d.

PLUS, then all the people that only ever played FFVII+ would finally play it, and realize how much better it is than Square's recent FF offerings.

What is wrong with the wii?

Nothing's wrong with the Wii :D    I just don't think there would be any advantage in taking use of the Wii's unique controls for FFVI, vs the potential for improved graphics on one of the HD systems.

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

Well an FF6 remake would be hot on any of the 3 big consoles.

Turn based combat with motion controls? Good luck with that.
Going to make it mandatory GC/Classic controller to solve that? Then what is the point?

Going to change the combat system while your at it so it suits motion controls? Good luck with the huge backlash from the extremely loyal FF VI fanbase.

Touch controls are one thing, motion controls IMO is just stupid for a turn based system, let alone one that uses the ATB.

PS3, 360 and DS are my choices.

 

We had this discussion like a week or two ago and I am pretty sure it came to an agreement that changing the battle system to suit motion controls would just be a disaster. Point and click for attack/magic/defend/etc... with ATB you will get hit more times that you can point and click.

This type of RPG just wouldn't work IMO without changing the combat system.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

There are JRPGs that are developed and already released for the Wii you know, and you can play an RPG without using the motion control. TOS2 was one of them, the developers dont want to tackle on the motion sensing too much only the pointer to navigate easily the menus...
