FF3? I thought FF7 was the one widely regarded as a classic?
- lmm 14y agoBelieve it or not the series contains more than one "classic" game. You're right that FF7 is the most popular though; presumably they went with FF3 for its lower performance requirements.
- Elessar 14y agoMore likely they went with it because an Android port already exists.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoHighly unlikely the performance reqs between the two (specifically the DS/iOS/Android remake of FFIII vs. the PS1 FFVII) is that wide; Tegra 3 and similar chipsets are definitely capable of eclipsing both. But they already have a FFIII port mostly ready to go; FFVII has yet to be ported to anything besides PS1 and Win9x. And in true Sq fashion, they seem to be saving a FFVII remake for whenever they think they can extract the most cash from it.
- cicloid 14y agoAccording to their CEO, making FFVII is admiting defeat and that they will not be able to make a better game. They will only release a remake when: A) The money is needed/correct B) They make a better game in their view. With I suppose, overwhelming success.
- jiggy2011 14y agoI hope not, FF7 ran on a PS1
- cdr 14y agoSquareEnix already has remakes of I-IV on DS which are probably reasonably readily portable to iOS/Android; they've already released III and I on Android. You can probably expect to see II and IV on Android within a year if they continue to sell well, but probably not V or later until they're ported to a portable game system first. I know there were reports of preliminary work on V/VI for DS but nothing beyond that.
- randomdrake 14y agoMy opinion is that the Super Nintendo absolutely killed it for the best console RPGs ever made. Along with this comes, what I consider to be, Square's opus: Final Fantasy III (6 in Japan). I am definitely not alone in this sentiment. It could just be an age gap but, for those who have played both, I've only come across a couple people who would take VII over III.
- danso 14y agoJust to be clear, this announcement is for FF3, in the Japanese series. Also, to clarify, Chrono Trigger was Square's opus :)
- randomdrake 14y agoYea, I was super excited until I realized it was FF3 in the Japanese series. Chrono Trigger is also an absolutely wonderful game; I totally agree. I just happen to like FF III a bit more :)
- debacle 14y agoFF3, FF6, and FF7 are widely regarded as the strongest entries in the series.
