Square Enix Considering Bringing Final Fantasy V, VI to 3DS

[bluestarultor]

From what I'm getting, you're either suggesting applying a bump map to the flat surface of the sprite to make it 3D when viewed from the front or you're suggesting a technology similar to Okami where things are rendered in 3D first and then flattened onto a 2D surface. Which are honestly complete opposites.

Hay guys come on graphics don't matter right? It's all about the, uh, story!

Pretty sure what he was talking about was something along the lines of Bump Mapping the Sprites.

Eh, neither f those, but I'll drop the subject for now, until I figure out a better way of putting it into words. 3D aside, because the 3D is completely irrelevant what I'd like to see, 2D is just going to look nicer than whatever 3D the 3DS can do.

I get that you're being facetious, but it's a story we've already seen, and I don't see any changes to the story improving it. That leaves presentation. Excusably bad graphics don't ruin a good game, and good graphics don't fix a bad game. I don't think anyone has ever meant anything other than that when talking about the irrelevance of graphics.

If people were excited about the story, they'd already have it for SNES, PS1, or GBA.

That's why I'm not really excited about the prospect, because I already have Anthology. Although I never did finish either of them. Come to think of it, I've never actually finished any FF. Actually, I just suck at finishing games.


Edit:

The 3DS does what the PSP can do and apparently more. I don't think you have to worry.

Blues, hand in your gamer's license, now.

You need to start finishing games.

I just sincerely wish Square would focus on something else other than the FF series.

My last graphics comment:
Non con, to apply what you were talking about (rendering the sprites) without it being more work then it needs to be. They'd have to create sprites similar to KH:CoM or Lunar Knights (Baktai DS) for the characters and NPCs.

That or size up the sprites.

Seeing as the 3DS is capable of PS2 era graphics, I see no reason why they can't go for the graphical design of DQ VIII

They remade Chrono Trigger and everyone bitched. I think they had good reason to bitch, but they still bitched. No incentive to do anything with that franchise if people are just going to get upset. Plus, they're doing several other franchises at the moment. Parasite Eve, they just came out with Nier, they're working on a Tomb Raider game, and probably a few things I forgot.

It'd be nice to see a 3rd Musashi game that was great or at least decent.

2 was alright but it was sad how I was not expecting the combat to be lacking the way it was.
