Square Enix Releases First Final Fantasy VI Mobile Screens

Leave it to Squenix to continue to sell the same 2 games again and again and again.

How many times will this game have been released now?

At least the sprites don't look quite as bad as that abominable phone remake of FFV. Still it annoys me to no end that this is coming out for phones. FFVI is in my mind the pinnacle of the series, it deserves more than some cheap phone port. I'd like to see a proper remake on a handheld like FFIV got on the PSP at least.

This would be the fourth release.

SNES, PSX, Game Boy Advance(which is essentially a bad demake of the original) and now this.

Wow! we are going to be able to play Final Fantasy VI with touch screen controls! AMAZING.
Touch screen controls for gaming on tablets and mobile devices is soooo much fun right guys?
>____>


All jokes aside, I tried playing FF1 on a tablet once and stopped after a few minutes because the controls are so broken. touch screen movement for 20+ hour jrpgs are an abomination.
Went and played the PSP version.

It is horrible that they only release these redone FF games for tablets and iOS devices. I mean why not release them for current gen gaming systems like the PS Vita or 3DS?

I actually like the look. I would rather them not do a 3d remake, those never really work out well in my opinion, and I would rather them do something new instead of just re releasing the same game again.

I couldn't agree more. I'm not fond of 3D remakes of 2D classics. I have to admit that I don't think these screens look too bad, although I agree that the characters look a little flat and too smooth. But overall this is a nice little tune up much in the way I would like SE to do a remake of FF7. As long as they keep the overall aesthetic and art style I'm all for it.

But why oh why are they only releasing for tablets and iOS devices? I HATE fiddling with stupid touch controls. This should be released for the Vita asap.

They have really watered down and killed much of the excitement of the FF brand haven't they? All the remakes, sequels, spinoffs... God, I still remember the excitement of having the new iteration of the numbered releases. FF6,7,8,9,10 and 12 were all great games in my book.

The originals actually look a lot better when compared to stills. These come off as out of place. Almost like the remade version of Star Wars with all the new CGI critters walking around.

Maybe the stills are misleading and it'll look better in motion.

Oh... well that's okay then :s

I mean FF IV has seen 5 or 6 versions. (depends on if you want to count the WonderSwan)
