Final Fantasy V and VI Coming To The 3DS?

Remember how earlier this year we ran a story saying that Final Fantasy V and VI might never see the light of day on the Nintendo DS because of technical issues? Well, all hope might not be lost for handheld remakes of these two awesome classics -- Siliconera spoke with Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto at E3 about the possibility of bringing these titles to the Nintendo 3DS instead, and he didn't rule it out.

"No decision has been made," he answered. But added that "Rather than creating [Final Fantasy] V or VI for the current DS we want to take a look to see how 3DS does, how it evolves, and then make a decision."

All signs point to the 3DS being yet another major success for Nintendo, and the hardware is certainly capable of doing both games justice -- let's hope Square Enix seriously considers making this a reality!

FF6 in 3DS!



EPIC WIN!

I would pay large amounts of money for this. I like how in the remake department Square goes for remaking the best Final Fantasies and has kept away from 7 (which isn't to say 7 isn't bad).

!! It sounds like I shouldn't get my hopes up though, as they are far from confirmed, and probably a long ways off. But still awesome.

Wow, the 3DS' library is really shaping up to be something special. If we keep seeing more games like this, the PSP won't be able to last much longer.

I don't really care about Final Fantasy, but I want a 3DS.

Say, is there anyone here that can recommend a FF game that will change my mind about the series? I couldn't get into FF7 at all, but I liked Chrono Trigger and I heard the SNES ones were cool.

Final Fantasy VI (Although, on the SNES it's known as III)

You can thank me later

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for DS, it is like "Babies first final fantasy", and I enjoyed it.

They owe us FInal Fantasy 7 instead of spinoffs or movies. I knew they were holding out on FF 5 and 6 remake. It would have been nice if squared made FF3 and FF4 on PS2. There were talks about a ps2 version instead they went cheap on DS graphics.

The reason they don't redo 7 is that they know that it will not be nearly as well received if redone. The old fans will be pissed from the inevitable changes and the new people won't have that "omg 3D" magic that helped 7 back in the day.
