Square Enix Considers FFIII On GBA?
Daetrin writes "Originally reported on The Magic Box and relayed (and edited) at Games Are Fun: 'Square Enix is currently pondering the possibility of porting their [unreleased] Wonderswan remake of Final Fantasy III to Nintendo's Gameboy Advance.' This is the only FF that hasn't been released in the US yet." However, this rumor last surfaced 10 months ago, so should probably be viewed warily - but the WonderSwan remakes of FF1 and FF2 were ported and enhanced further for Final Fantasy Origins on Playstation, so if FF3 is done, it might make sense for it to be re-appropriated as well.
Why not?
It seems a pity that they went through the trouble of making an updated/prettier version of FF3 for the ill-fated Wonderswan(dive) only to see no audience to sell it too.
Port it! and while your at it, Port FF4, 5, and 6 to the GBA as well, they were SNES titles after all, how hard could it be? They would all sell well, and since its pretty obvious Square never spent more than a few dollars on translation its not like they can't afford it.
On Wall Street they say "buy low, sell high" On the pad we say, "buy high, sell high" Isn't that somehow better?
This would be great news. Especially with the Gameboy Player out now! I dug all the old cartridge based FF's. When they started adding non-interactive movies it all went down hill. I want to play the story, not watch it.
Old FF = teh win, New FF = teh sux0r.
