It seems that square has the remake bug at the moment. Not that i'm complaining. I tend to eat up whatever games they churn out and oviously so does everyone else otherwise they wouldn't keep doing it. But seems odd is they are spreading them across multiple platforms as exclusives. Maybe if square help shift units then they have more hardware to play around with and that = £££. We have the 1+2 reamkes on the PSP (as well as every last gen console it seems), they've already done 3 for the DS. Now we know that 4 is the next reamake on the list for the DS (i'm looking forward to this even though i own like 2 copy's of it already. what is wrong with me???). What i'm more interested in is the next games in the series and what platforms they will be arriving on. I think that maybe they should make 5 + 6 for the DS (not too fussed what platform 6 arrives on. DS or PSP as long as they get the most out of it) and then start showing the PSP some love with 7, 8 and 9 (i know this is a DS forum but i own pretty much every system apart from mircosofts so as long as they don't port for that i'm happy). I think the PSP could easily handle the later remakes if not straight ports of the originals as i doubt Square Enix will let Sony distibute them through the PSstore. I know that this isn't a question but i would like to see some other people input on the whole remake thing.

Lets think for a minute here...  Now, every one loves Final Fantasy. So with Square Enix churning out the Remakes and new games at an unbelievable speed, they will be raking in BUCKET loads of money. And still keeping the fans really happy. If you were them you would do the same, trust me.

your right. I'm sold already and they haven't even confirmed anything yet. It's pretty crazy as people are eating up games that have been around for so long already. It's a bit like were being told to buy and replay them. Yup, i'm one happy camper playing and replaying their classics and i guess Square Enix are too. I bet there laughing all the way to the bank/banks/island of gold.

I for one thinks it's really cool. The remake of FFIII taught us that Square Enix isn't just selling the same games for a new console. They improve the game and correct twitches in the original versions... So as far as I'm concerned they can remake the entire saga for the DS and I'll spend a lot of money buying the games.

Actually I think it's great that Square Enix and Nintendo will have a more prolific relationship without ignoring Playstation Portable owners.  Those who own both handhalds will have he best of both worlds.  There's also hope that more handheld titles can also spill over into the console divisions - which is true in Square Enix's case.  For myself I can't for FFXII:  Revenant Wings, Final Fantasy IV (U.S. FFII), and Crystal Chronicles.  Final Fantasy Tactics A2 was the icing on the cake.

HOWEVER - rereleases of the first Star Ocean titles on the PSP as well as two FFT titles on the PSP has me considering a repurchase of the Playstation Portable.  Square seems to be rewarding both handhelds with little threat of alienation.

In my opinion I say screw FFIV anf give use VI for the DS.  But I guess I will have to wait a few year while they remake IV and V :(

Oh well.  You cant realy blame Square for making alot of games for the DS recently, when they made III they created a decent graphical engine, so why not exploit it to its fullest.  The three games I most inticipate are FFTA2 (kina disapointed that the newest FFT is a sequle to FFTA, great action lame story :( ), Dragon Quest IX, and FFCC.
