The console doesn't exist yet and SquareEnix already is already making FF-remakes for it! I'm happy to see a big name in the gaming business offering some support, but I'm more excited to see some original, thinking-out-of-the-box homebrew games. I want to play the next Cave Story; I've already played FF3 like a bazillion times.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoSquaresoft already has it running on Android (and Tegra 3, like in the Ouya), so I doubt it requires much effort on their part. Having Sq's name on board will definitely help PR on both sides though, making homebrew titles more likely.
- ajross 14y agoFFIII was an NES game. One presumes the "remake" is just running the original ROM in an emulator. So the "development work" involved is essentially just getting a license written up and signed. Maybe they'll update some copyrights and artwork, too.
- cdr 14y agoNope. It was done as a pretty thorough remake for the DS a few years ago - added 3D, changes to core gameplay (that were not very well implemented as someone else pointed out), etc. These DS versions are what have been ported to iOS and Android.
