Portability? I guess I dunno. If they could make it look good- and make it look good I'd like that, but from my experience "updated graphics" usually means "we just took a shit on your memories."

I believe the Chrono Trigger remake showed us that they don't need to update the graphics to do that. That said, I'm not exactly on the go enough for portability to be a big selling point to me. The 3DS has the potential for some damn fine sprite art, and even though I know we won't get that art, that's one of the things it'd take to get me interested in this remake.

Nonsie, buddy, if you're using a 3D game system to display 2D sprites, you're doing it wrong.

Aside from that, the 3DS puts the processing power of the DS to shame. From what I'm hearing, it's on par with the PSP in terms of graphics, so the likelihood of a repeat of FF4's Godawful polygons is pretty low.

You've just essentially reiterated exactly why FFVII is the game Square-Enix should be remaking for the 3DS.
It's funny though how the 2D-era games I don't particularly want to see remade are getting remade, while games like the original Metal Gear (which I would *love* to see a 3DS remake for) are being overlooked. What is this, bizarro world?

It's actually past it in terms of graphics (not by much though).

So VI using 3D models would look great.
