[Art of Hilt]

Jesus christ remaking FFVI with 3D graphics in a way that won't be devastatingly disappointing would require such a close attention to tone and detail that would translate and mix the SNES original with the concept art, and would therefore be such a painstaking endeavor that I simply don't see them doing it for a remake on a handheld.

Or maybe I'm being pessimistic. After all, they are withholding judgement until they can ascertain whether the 3DS would be suitable. Whether that means 'suitable for a worthy recreation' or 'suitable to cram in the entire game with blocky models'...
