I wouldn't mind FFIV CC sprite work. These sprites are built from the assets as FF Dimensions, which means they're not great at all.
Man, why do you guys hate the high-res 2D sprites? Personally I thought FFIVDS looked pretty ugly. I understand that a 3DS or Vita 3D game would likely look a lot better, but I really like the idea of taking the original 2D look remastering it with higher detail sprites.
....soon
That's pretty cute and in some way more close to the original art that the cold heartless vectorized crap they do with sprites in 2D...
I always loved low poly on nds, they have that 3D 16 bit pixel art vibe to me.
I prefer the FFIVCC style to the FFD style.

If you saw the scan, you'd understand.

They want that HD money. And the sprites look fine, they look like cel shaded versions of the original character art.
Surely they could have released it on PSP too then
I hate virtual buttons and sticks on smartphone games as much as the next guy, but they don't really have a negative effect on turn-based or menu-based RPGs. The only real-time thing you have to do in classic FF (excluding the ATB meter) is movement, in which you don't immediately have to deal with enemies. If Square Enix doesn't fuck up the new menu design I won't have a problem with touch screen controls. It's when they do this for action RPGs that creates a problem.
I could understand if you don't own an iOS or Android device though.

Wow, uh... This doesn't look too hot at all. FF4CC sprites, the character sprites don't look very good, they don't jive with the background too much...
Happy 20th Anniversary, FF5?

Enemy sprites look good to me. It's mainly the characters that irk me.
Having played and nearly beaten FF Dimensions, I'm going to disagree. Navigating the environments with the virtual dpad was really irritating.

20th anniversary was celebrated by good art on Pixiv.
This is more like a "gimme moneylixir" kind of thing.

Secret of Mana iOS was not a straight port, they redrew all the major sprites.

So I wonder if Square charges you for switching jobs in this version.
On a phone screen it was very annoying to choose commands in battle too. I don't have big fingers but I would often hit the wrong command by mistake. I guess playing on a Ipad takes care of that issue, though.
There will probably be a gimmick where you have to pay for the original soundtrack or something like that if FFD is any indication.
Okay...I will admit I laughed at that one lol
I love FFD (beat it twice) and I have to agree. virtual dpads are cumbersome and nowhere near ideal.
Also another game with crappy replacement sprites that look horrible.

Ew, this looks ugly.
FFV deserves better than this.

IS IT EVER. I hit down and go right. I hit right and go down. It's just so awful compared to an ACTUAL D-Pad.
I played it on both iPad and on my Galaxy Nexus. It's easier to move around on my phone, but more irritating to select commands in battle, and vice-versa with the iPad.

Thank god it's not 3D. FFI-VI would lose something quite substantial when taken out of the 2D realm. (See: FFIII & IV DS) I wouldn't be opposed to a PSP style 2D upgrade though.
The GBA version of FFV is super amazing, so I'm glad they are using that as the basis.

If I had to guess, it's probably related to Seekers of Adoulin launching next week? (Though, that art is old school Zilart FFXI Soooooooo)
I'm curious as well.
And the sprites? I'll have to see them in motion.....if its closer to FFIV:CC, yay! If its FFD...not-so-yay...
THIS IS NOT FUNNY! FFD already had "buy chiptune music for 10 bucks" this is the next logical step....

The remake we asked for. But not the one we deserve.

Is FF6 on iOS yet?

Probably on it's way sooner or later.

That's the one I want to buy. I missed out on buying Final Fantasy VI Advance, and I can't seem to find it anywhere for an acceptable price anymore.

Happy to see FFV, but..
Bleh, those character sprites. The smoothed look is out-of-place when on the same screen as the FFIVCC enemy sprites and the fairly-detailed backgrounds.

It's not a controls thing for me--I value the battery on my phone too much for time-intensive games, plus the overheating.

The characters have always had a contrasting style to the monsters and backgrounds.

Assuming this is serious, yeah, FFD has an IAP for the Chiptune version of the soundtrack. (Though, it's only $6.99, not 9.99)
