FFIII creators talk other remakes on DS

During the pandemonium that was the Tokyo Game Show, Games Radar managed to get an interview with two head honchos on the Final Fantasy III project. In speaking with Hiromichi Tanaka, Senior Vice President of Software Development and Tomoya Asano, Producer, it's revealed that due to the already insane success from the game's launch in Japan, Square-Enix is looking to adopt a strategy of just outright remaking classic Final Fantasy titles, as opposed to just porting them as they did with Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI.

So with ports to the GBA, remakes hitting the DS, as well as brand-new spin-off games, Square-Enix is staking a mighty large claim on the DS. We couldn't be happier, to tell the truth.

As I'm sure people can tell by my username, i'd love an FF6 remake.

FF7 would be a dream come true, but i wont hold my breath for that.

What would be even better is if a substantial amount of new content was added, like in Mario 64 DS.

To a bunch of people: FFVII is allegedly slated to appear as part of a PSP download service (FFVIII, too), so chances of it appearing on the DS are pretty slim.

Taltos (re: CT): Yeah, the fan projects probably haven't helped. (But they should still do a remake ^_^)
