04.05.2007 11:54 With the seventh chapter in the Final Fantasy series regarded as one of the most successful entries, a remake/port could be a possibility according to Final Fantasy III DS producer Hiromichi Tanaka.

In a recent interview with CVG, Tanaka was asked if FFVII would be available on the DS as a port/remake at some point, after the success of FFIII.

Tanaka: The main thing is the timing. If we have time it is possible to do a remake of an original game but because we are at the time where the machines are changing with Wii, 360 and PS3 coming out, the development team tends to work on these games so that's the way things are going at the moment.

This is the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy III.



On a side note, Square-Enix are looking into releasing the original Final Fantasy titles on the Wii Virtual Console, but "aren't sure yet".

Be sure to stick around for updates...

well, its a chance, maybe after the FF IV remake? hope that if they make they remake all the graphics like in FF III and FF IV for DS. also hope for some touch screen action (just using it to select the commands in the battle is enough)...

Emphasize 'Possible'. I really would doubt it happening.

FF7 is one of my favorite games (overall) but, in all honesty I would be really upset if they released it on DS. I just don't think it would be worthwhile. The graphics are the only part of the game that should be improved and I don't think DS is capable of handling it.

Unless they put it on PSP (which would mean I need to buy one:( ), remaking ff7 for any other current generation console would be a mistake, IMO.

the whole point being that there is no software limitations to do this. no extra cards and stuff (i hope). the three disks (640MB x 3) can be compressed enough to fit a ds game card is impressive! i know he didnt overtly say this, but he didnt state any complication w/ it either.

Ther is always a "chance". With al the love SE has been showing the DS (Ex: Dragon Quest 9, FF3, FF4 DQM:Joker.........) I think it is possible. I could see them doing something on the DS for some sort of milestone event given FFVII's massive popularity.

I honestly don't see a huge chance of this happening... FF7 was 4 disks of 700 mb each. I don't see it happening quite yet >_

actually they officially said that arnt gonna make that tech demo into a real game. and i would love it on the DS but i think it would be better on the PSp bigger screen and tighter button contolrs ( on the slim) plus more save files and downloadble content. and i love the ds more then the psp im not a hater :P
