"for FF5 and 6, there are technical issues as well, so at present these are also undecided."

I would imagine the technical issues for FF5 and FF6 on the DS is the same kind of technical issues for FF7 on PS3. Just thinking about all those art assets each of those games needed would give any developer second thoughts.

Not sure what technical issues 5 proposes. Its not exactly a cinematic game, and it doesn't take itself all that seriously. Or maybe that's the problem, they only know how to pepper up self serious games full of cutscenes now. 
Or maybe its just a matter of waiting to see what the 3DS is offering.

That's a shame that they're undecided about remaking more FFs for the DS. I would happily take a port of FF6 for the DS, though. I thought the Chrono Trigger port was great. Plus 3Difying 6 seems kind of sacrilegious.

Also, would a Mod move this to the DS forum?

Technical issues? So towns are hard to make on portable current gen hardware too?! zing!
 
In terms of location and scene complexity, I always felt that Final Fantasy VI was a far more complicated game than it's two SNES predecessors. I can see the apprehension regarding remaking that game on the DS, I don't think it would give the game justice. Final Fantasy IV DS was an impressive technical feat, I just can't see VI being replicated the same way, it wouldn't give the game justice. 
 
Final Fantasy V on the other hand, is more than ready to be remade in the same manner .
 
 The DS version of IV was great, but I personally felt it's presentation was bottle-necked by the DS hardware. If they think they can do better on something less technically constraining then more power to them. With the way they've been pumping out Dragon Quest entries, and the same team that made III and IV DS releasing this little ditty, I get the feeling if a remake of either V or VI was on the books something would have already been stated.

They made a perfectly serviceable GBA port like 4 years ago.  "

True, but I really liked the revamped DS UI for Chrono Trigger and all the bonus features like the art, music, and movie galleries. Plus, it would be a lot easier to just port it and it would probably sell just as well. Although, I don't think Chrono Trigger sold a bunch. I don't know what the fuck I'm saying lol. I guess I'd just take more FF6 any way I can get it. "

Final Fantasy V sucked nutsack...so whatever. 
 
Final Fantasy VI, on the other hand, is something I would die for.  I'll never understand fuckheads that think VII is the best in the series when VI still exists!!!

If they are not full proper remakes for a next gen platform, I would prefer a port like FF 1 and 2 for the psp, just some "high res" sprites, better quality sound and widescreen, stop making horrible 3d games, like the coming Black/White Pokemon editions with that awful 3D city.

I have this sneaking suspicion Square Enix may have become lazy. But it may be just me. They can't even update FFV and VI?

To me they just want to wait for the 3DS and "PSP2", before they spend money and time remading those titles to a dying platform like they did with those exactly same games on the GBA. Those remakes will be made, that's for sure. But I'm betting they'll be on the next generation of portable gaming devices. The GBA at least was at its peak when they released FF V Advance but with Final Fantasy III fully remade on the DS released at about the same time, many people decided to skip the Advance enhanced ports on the GBA and wait for full remakes on the DS. After all, those game had been ported to the Playstation and they are still incredibly to get even now.  It's kind of understandable.

What you said. V would be okay on the DS or DSi, but VI needs to run on a more powerful machine to give it the proper treatment it deserves. Which is why I say it should be on the PSP. I'm not saying it should be like modern RPGs with a rotating camera and everything; not like Crisis Core. They make it exactly like IV on DS: overhead camera with a fixed perspective, giving out the same feeling as playing the original. Only difference is it would look and sound more beautiful, not to mention the CG cutscenes. Some people don't care about graphics, but a lot of them forget how important sound quality is. The DS has a horrible sound chip and even shittier speakers; I do NOT want the masterpiece that is the soundtrack of FFVI to be injected full of parasites.
 
Also, awesome remix is awesome: 
 
EDIT: Is anyone else thinking this sounds a lot like something out of a Mega Man X or Valkyrie Profile game?

I would love if ANY of these games came to DS, always room for more JRPG goodness.

 
A full 3d remake of final fantasy 6 would be excellent, DS or next generation remake :)

"  maybe its just a matter of waiting to see what the 3DS is offering. "

I would buy any final fantasy released on the DS. I would prefer any of the games to be on future hardware though because i am a graphics whore. 
p.s. FFV is the worst Final Fantasy since Mystic Quest.

I tend to agree that FFV was sub par. But it would be nice to have FFVI on DS.
