Square Enix to skip FF5 for DS, Remake FF6?

That's a fair comment, really. It's just really some interesting speculation where the evidence we have so far does make the situation seem potentially likely, so thus it's in the rumors section. :)

I agree. The DS just doesn't cut it graphically nowadays and there is absolutely no use for the touch screen as it is a typical RPG.

However, a full blown remake wont cut it on the next gen console either due to the high cost so I think the best solution is to release it on the psp, ps2, wii, PSN, xbox live simultaneously for maximum profit while not hampering the graphics too much.

For me if they were going handheld I'd like to see 5 and 6 on DS and 7-9 on PSP.

If I were SE, I'd still do 5 and 6 on DS, as the engine is already done and has proven itself. However, before being done with these, or as soon as they're done with them, they should do 7 to 9 on the PSP. Let's face it, SE will most likely never do a 7 remake on a home console, all they want to do is to make some quick cash with these titles, and the easy way to do it is by putting it on handhelds, due to low dev costs and huge install base.

However, putting 7 on the DS would be a downgrade (visually), which is why I think it should be done on the PSP and give it a graphical overhaul, like the one they can give to the older ones (1 to 6) on the DS.

My sentiments exactly. Agreed 1,000,000%

It's THE RPG of all time, at least for me. (and you lol)

I agree that FF6 is the best FF of them all (although FFT comes damn close), which is why I would much rather see it get a next-gen face lift if they feel they have to remake it. Just sad that it didn't/doesn't get the recognition that FFVII gets (don't get me wrong, it's a great game too).

About it being the best RPG (or game) of all time, for me that goes to Xenogears.

I'll take FFVI any way Nintendo wants to give it to me, however, I do agree that such a classic title doesn't need a huge 3D remake. They could just do some minor upgrades like Chrono Trigger DS.

How about not a 3D remake. But an insane uber-2d remake that looks 3D but retains the classic dimension but with obvious graphics enhancements to the characters, spell effects, etc. etc.

Then again, that's too good and SE isn't going to do something that nice.

Yeah a quality upgraded 2D FFVI would be awesome.

A bit off tangent here, but I just realized the image used for this article was a prelim for FFVII for the N64, before it was scrapped in favor of the PS1 version.
