Looks lovely but I am still a sucker for the original FF3 Famicom box art... (posted in this thread)

They made some adverts with Lahm and Jörg Pilawa (for Brain Training because he's got a quiz broadcast. If you want to I'll upload all of them

oh c'mon both will be awesome.Archie said:
I like the way you think.
i know (and i'm getting both!) but i like giving not so subtle jabs to ff12Error2k4 said:oh c'mon both will be awesome.
JoshuaJSlone said:That is nice. I also like the novelty of Amano characters, reinterpreted by Yoshida, redrawn by Amano.
Amano was the character designer for the original, with generic main characters. Yoshida is the character designer for the remake, with unique main characters. This cover is Amano style, but with the new main characters.TheJollyCorner said:...huh?
Not many, I think. These would be people who have been playing Final Fantasy games for a dozen years, haven't noticed the number correction in all NA rereleases since 1999, and buy the game without knowing anything about it. Final Fantasy Anthology has now been out longer than "Final Fantasy III" had been out at Anthology's release.Chris Remo said:So how many people are going to buy this game, thinking it's the SNES FF3 they played in 1994? I know a lot of people who haven't played RPGs (or many other games for that matter) since that era and were looking forward to getting this remake of FF6j. I've had to explain to them that it's a different game, and they were always disappointed.
I believe the game can be totally controlled by touchscreen optionally, as with Animal Crossing. Really, though, I think it's more a case of "Why not?" than "Why?" GBA has (or should eventually have) FF I, II, IV, V, VI, and Tactics Advance. It's not like III being released on a Nintendo portable is totally out of left field.kenta said:What features are they planning that take advantage of the DS's capabilities? Does anyone know? What's the touchscreen going to be used for?
kenta said:Can I ask an honest question without being a troll? I hate when people say "Why wasn't this game on system Y" but I'm honestly clueless as to why this is on the DS rather than the PSP. It's painful to even type that, trust me, so don't flame me for it... But really, the PSP also has WiFi, it's got a little bit more real estate on the screen, it can pump out the graphics... What features are they planning that take advantage of the DS's capabilities? Does anyone know? What's the touchscreen going to be used for?
Again, please don't flame me for asking that because I plan on buying the game regardless. But I can't help but wonder
I figured the same thing, it probably has to do with the marketshare in Japan more than anything else but looking at the situation as objectively as possible, it seems to me that the PSP might have made a slightly better fit.MindCollizion said:I personally think it's a financial decision, and ease of programming. Sure it could be on PSP, but why spent money on those proprietary UMDs and high development costs for a game than can also be done on a much cheaper (price-wise) console that has overall sold more in comparison to the PSP? My two cents.

According to Gamefaqs: September 12 US and sometime in September for EU.radioheadrule83 said:When can we expect this in Europe or the US?
That's like asking why a Final Fantasy game is on PS2 rather than Xbox. The answer is the same as well.kenta said:Can I ask an honest question without being a troll?

...Archie said:According to Gamefaqs:
How is financial motivation not objective? People are out for profit, and PSP software sales ain't cutting it, especially in Japan. If everyone looked at everything as "objectively as possible" as you define it, all the games last-gen would've been on the Xbox.kenta said:I figured the same thing, it probably has to do with the marketshare in Japan more than anything else but looking at the situation as objectively as possible

Also I love how you called UMDs proprietary, as if DS cartridges somehow aren't.
03.07.06 - Square Enix veröffentlicht den finalen Packshot zum RPG Final Fantasy III . Außerdem hat ein japanischer Händler Infos zum Wi-Fi Modus bekanntgegeben, die allerdings noch nicht von Square Enix bestätigt wurden.
Demnach soll man via Wi-Fi Briefe an Freunde versenden können. Die Texteingabe soll wohl mit einem Moggle in Zusammenhang stehen: Entweder taucht er beim Schreiben des Textes nur auf oder ist sogar für das Auswählen von Buchstaben verantwortlich.
Nach dem Versand der Briefe sollen 'Events' mit den Freunden generiert werden. Ausführliche Details sollen angeblich in nächste Woche in der Weekly Jump stehen - bis dahin sind die Angaben ohne Gewähr. Release: 24.08.06 (Japan)
Plagarizer!Emotions said:DS owns Japan i think that's reason enough.
If we go by your logic then everything should have been Xbox exclusive and PS2,GC and DS would have 0 games.
Hm, that's a good point, I hadn't thought about that.Chris Remo said:That's like asking why a Final Fantasy game is on PS2 rather than Xbox. The answer is the same as well.

Thanks to the rest of you for being dicks when I was genuinely curious
Yeah your answer was also very good but the attitude from others was pretty unnecessaryMejilan said:Hey, I answered fair and uh... Square.
