That has got to be one of the UGLIEST looking remakes I have ever seen. I'm praying that if they release FFVI again, they don't go that route. If they're going to graphically update it, I'd rather see an update in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions for PSP. Which is arguably the most beautiful sprite-based game I've ever seen.
Although, really, the games don't really need a graphical update. Polish it up and enhance it a bit (like Chrono Trigger DS) and they'll be fine.
Nintendo DS would be the best system to remake them on, despite the extra graphical and processing capabilities of a PSP.

i quite like the new ff4. although ill admit, some of the models do look kinda ugly and misproportioned (cecil springs to mind, his head is friggin huge). im playing it now and dont have many complaints.
as for the topic, id love to see a terranigma remade anywhere - but id prefer a wii one. full 3d ark with wiimote swinging action would kick so much ass. oh and a ds port (WITHOUT unnecessary stylus movements) would be great also
I'd really like to see a remake of the Gaia trilogy, rather than just a straight port of it to the Wii or any of the other current consoles.
Could you imagine it in a properly rendered 3D environment, rather than the orthogonal perspective that was so well-used back in the 90s? And of course, using the action of the Wii-mote instead of just pressing the A button to attack, you could really hack'n'slash your way through those dungeons. And it'd give you a good workout at the same time.
I'd also improve the ending of IoG; sorry, but that Comet and Dark Gaia battle sucked ass imho. All the building towards a climax and....eh, kinda fell a bit flat really for me.

I loved FF4DS. I thought the characters were cute just like the developers wanted me to. That's my two cents. I think FF4DS is quite impressive visually, stylistic issues aside, and it would make a great template for any early SNES game you'd like to update to DS.
For Soul Blazer in particular I think something in the style of Ys I & II DS would also work very well. It seems very compatible with Soul Blazer visually, it's really strong on the nostalgia factor, and would be quicker/cheaper to develop than taking the full polygonal approach.

3D graphics on DS just bother me. I've always felt that if you can't make it look glorious, even if it doesn't look that bad, you should just stick with 2D. The DS has some power behind it, but is it really necessary to have 3D graphics? Won't 2D work just as well?
I'm fine with playing them on my XBox just as they were. Just don't tell anyone.
I'd love to see them ported elsewhere- but why? Their just fine the way they've always been, IMO, so why try to fix something that isn't broken?
Ask Rob Zombie about that and those two horrendous Halloween films.

lol i dislike phantom hourglass also. but not for its graphics. the overenthusiastic promotion of the touch-screen's functions is just ANNOYING.
and id have no objections to 2d remakes. 2d games were awesome, and there isnt any reason why games shouldnt be kept as 2d, if the 3d capabilities of whatever they are on isnt as awesome as the latest generation of consoles. even then, it depends on how the 3d is used with the controls

i already have pokemon blue on mine. and mine is ancient. one of my friends had a gba emulator on his phone, and gba is more powerful than a snes.

No kidding? Man that'd be really cool actually. The only game on my phone is Midnight Pool 2. Good pool simulator, but when I hear people bragging about Final Fantasy Before Crisis and such...
