'Final Fantasy VI' Coming to iOS Devices This Fall, 'Final Fantasy VII' Mobile Release Possible

Awesome! I named my daughter Celes because of THIS game. FF VI and Street Fighter 2 are my two all time favorites.

So you flipped a coin to decide between Celes and Chun Li? ;)

Both!

Which one would be the most fun to replay out of the series?

VI is my all time Final Fantasy favorite. Everything about it is amazing - from the story to the characters, you really felt for them. (Darn you, Kefka!!!). VII would be my next favorite in the series. I will be getting both of these when they are released, no questions asked.

This isn't aimed at you necessarily, but can we as a collective whole stop saying 'sell like hot cakes'? There's about a thousand other ways to express this yet this site consistency uses this idiomatic expression.

how much audacity must a person possess in order to walk around telling other people

how they want you to talk...

I've played 7 multiple times on multiple devices and I would love to see it on my phone.

So you flipped a coin to decide between Celes and Chun Li? ;)

LOL. You're closer than you think. I tried to get Chun Li first. She is half asian, and my wife's family name is Li. I figured it was a slam dunk.

But no, my wife liked Celes a lot better. I DID get her to cos-play as Chun-Li 3 years ago though. ^_^

FF VI is in the running for best game of all time, any platform, any genre, and it's easily right up there with any of the later FF titles.

Well balanced battle and advancement system, epic, engaging plot without a lot of the wonky stuff of later ones, the ability to actually pick and chose the party you want rather than being stuck with a loser protagonist in your party that you don't even like, easily the best soundtrack of any video game ever (Dancing Mad, Maria and Draco, Terra's Theme, and the end theme montage of 15 different character themes is a tour de force), and it has two strong, interesting, likable female leads.

For all the love that FF VII gets (I assume it's because of the FMVs, but how anybody could like Cloud as a protagonist is beyond me), I will quote one guy I know to voice the opinion of every serious long-term Final Fantasy fan I know: "They should just do a full-on current-gen remake of FF VI and call it done. That's what we're all really waiting for, and nothing is going to beat that."

Not that I'd turn my nose up at an iOS upgrade, so long as it isn't dumbed down, but taking the same game and upgrading it so the whole thing looked like the Amano-styled FMV segments for the PS1 release would be pretty much the ultimate JRPG. The technology exists, it's just a matter of budget.

That said, if they do a remake and don't use Amano's designs (like the character art in the FF IV remake), I'm getting the torches.

VI will always be my favorite. This will be an easy buy.

I hope they don't botch the digital D-pad.

I have FFVII on PS1 and PC. I would still buy it for iOS in a heartbeat.

LOL. You're closer than you think. I tried to get Chun Li first. She is half asian, and my wife's family name is Li. I figured it was a slam dunk.

But no, my wife liked Celes a lot better. I DID get her to cos-play as Chun-Li 3 years ago though. ^_^

Plus if the baby turned out pretty ugly you had a backup plan and could call it Blanka.

I remember FFVII being 4 disks on the PS1, That a couple of gigs of data, how are they getting around that for mobile devices?

To be fair it was the only FF game I ever played.

A lot of that data had to be duplicated, because most of the game had to be playable on every disc. Not sure what space was saved from disc to disc other than a few really badly-compressed movies.
