Why not Final Fantasy VI-2?

I'm ready. iPhone in hand.
Zero chance of this. It will be mobile, it will be F2P, and it will have lots of microtransactions.

Mother of God.
Only if Celes is the main character and she is part of a trio of opera performers with Terra and Relm, and they can change jobs during battle.
And I´m actually serious about such setting.

This.
Just work in a collaboration between Mistwalker and SCEJ. Uematsu is all over so he is def. not contracted or obligated to only work for Square-Enix so thats not an issue.
Sounds like he just wanted to try and get the old school band back together. A worthy effort.

Nah nobody cares anymore about 2d rpgs, they were all gems on the Snes and early PS1.

Only if it's of no relation to Final Fantasy VI. Do not tarnish that game.
If a VII remake were to occur, you would be losing the "charm" that the original one gives out.
Plus one small wrong move that Square does with the remake, and they will forever be in a negative spotlight (more than they are already)

I hope Nobuo says this within earshot of Satoru Iwata so he can write down a large number.

Original team or not, it wont matter. They aren't going to jump back in the studio and make the RPG everyone is dreaming of. It will most likely be mobile and cater to today's audience.

2D ----> iOS
I'll be really careful with that. The whole team could be reunited and they could as well do something completely different..
FFVI remains and will remain forever something strange and kinda miraculous. It's pretty hard to know why or who's responsible for it's difference with others ffs..
Thebest exemple of why i'm worried is that Uematsu himself seemingly hates the Sagisu arranged Grand Finale cd, which is exactly as romantic, grandiose, baroque and sad as the original game is, while most recent arrangement of, for example the Tina theme for orchestra makes it something triumphant and heroic. (The Dark World theme is way more in the tone).
Anyway what i mean is, let's be cautious. Sometimes even the creators have a diverging view of their own collective work.

They're pitching it to Square-Enix though. Probably if SE doesn't bite.
On a related note, Tetsuya Takahashi is part of the original FFVI team, so might as well get involved Nintendo.
Please no. At least not exclusively.

I'd be excited about this if it was possible to charge $20-40 for a mobile app and still make money.
But the reality is any mobile game has gotta be freemium, with all the game-ruining compromises that model requires.

Having Sakaguchi there wouldn't probably help to get SE to fund it, so if this materializes, it will end up on a kickstarter, or funded by Nintendo/Sony.

Would finally get Monolith on another damn 3DS game proper. Sad all they've done was Project X Zone so far.

Squeenix has plenty of $10-$20 games on iOS, granted most are ports

Yeah wasn't he responsible for the Magitek Armour walking scene from the intro?
Correct me if I am wrong but Soraya Saga made Edgar and Sabin as well. She doesn't work for Nintendo as far as I know.
Isn't this already a Final Fantasy game?

Welcome to the forum!
If it involves a freemium/f2p model, then the answer is yes.
If it´s a "full game" it doesn´t matter the platform. That´s my main grievance.
