The PSP remakes of FF 1 and FF 2 sold quite decently for what they are.

FF 3 remake on the DS sold 2.3 million.

FF 4 remake on the DS sold 1 million without sales data from Others (I have this one).

What I'm trying to say is... I find it strange that Square Enix has yet to remake FF 5 and 6 on the DS as it would make them a rather lovely profit. I know I would buy both of those remakes, seeing as I've never played 5 and 6 (even though I own FF 6 on the PS1, I never finished it due to excruciatingly long loadings for everything -- to and from the menu, to and from battles, for example).

Hmm... initially, I would have said yes, but after thinking about it, I have to say no. When they remade Chrono Trigger, they screwed with the mechanics, and made the game worse (and easier). Given how I see FF6 as an even better game, I just know that they'd ruin it also.

....Buh?

....Also, you did play FF4DS, yes?

Yes, Chrono Trigger DS is easier than the SNES version. The thing that may "seem" hard is the way they raised the max speed, so you can't cap that out. What I noticed is that I got more actions in boss fights between the boss actions.

Oh, and yes, I did play FF4DS. The easy/hard comparison doesn't work on that game, because in the days of it being FF2, what we got in the US was an "easy type." FF2US was watered down from FF4 proper. The DS cart gave us FF4 proper, hence why it's harder.

EDIT: Spelling typo.

Perhaps it did - I only played the SNES version of Chrono Trigger long ago.

And you're wrong on FF4 actually - we got the "Hardtype" in the GBA version of the game. The DS version was considerably harder than any version that came before it - it had to be, in order to balance out the special ability system.

Actually, I went back to the SNES cart, not the GBA cart. The GBA days had my gaming interest waning, so I intially passed on FF4Advance. (I did go back and get it later, and yes, it is hard type.) As for that special ability system, ugh! No, I want FF4 to be FF4, I don't want them murking around with the gameplay! I played it as FF4, ignoring that feature.

Being a purist is one thing, I suppose...

If you're going to let something like 2d graphics get in the way of experiencing a game, then you don't deserve to experience it, because that's just stupid. FF6 is beautiful because of the gameplay music and story. Updating the graphics would only be a plus.   And yes Final Fantasy 6 (snes version) is the greatest RPG of all time.

The graphics are beautiful as is. There is absolutely no reason to change them.

YES but it deserves a full 3D remake on PS3 or wii!

Remakes are a bad idea. They don't capture the spirit of the original.
