I think it did sell well, but that's just from me and my home forum's reaction to it. I have no real proof really. :P

I personally want the V and VI FF's on the PSP. I prefer more scenes being voice acted and special CG scenes as specials rather than no voice acting and voice acted scenes as specials.

Yeah, CC was a brilliant game. They need to do that with other FF's.

Don't forget also that Nintendo helds the license for the first sixth games, that's another fact. (I know about the 20th anniversary ''remakes'' of FFI-FFII for the PsP, but that was a merely update XD.)
Well, at least I hope to see an FFV and FFVI remakes for the Ds, if that the case, but only one question? The FFIV remake sold well? someone has the info? Hope yes, if not I doubt we'll see more remakes.
Contrary to popular belief, Nintendo does not hold the license for any game in the Final Fantasy series. Neither does Sony, which I have to add because a guy at GameStop told me Sony owned the rights to Cloud, to explain why he wasn't used in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. I don't know why her brought that up. Its a common misconception that these companies own the rights because at one time it seemed as though Nintendo did, see Final Fantasy, Castlevania, MegaMan, and others non-Nintendo series in Captain N the Game Master. Rest assured that Square-Enix owns the rights to each and every game series, and every game in the series, that it has created. Thus, they can make games and re-release games on any platform they want. Here's a fun fact, Nintendo actually barred Square-Enix from re-releasing FFs I-VI on its GameBoy Advance handheld system long before they actually did, possibly because of them switching to Sony. As we all know though, Nintendo eventually changed their minds and allowed the re-releases to be made, except III, although that may have been SE's decision.

Remember that each Final Fantasy, bar III, was remade for PlayStation for three FF Collections on the system, which HD remakes of Final Fantasy I & II for the PSP. The reason that III & IV were remade for the DS is most likely because its easier to program for and has sold more units, which translates into more potential sales.

True fact.

Very interesting didn't know that details, and FFIV remake sold well then?
As of July 9, 2008, Final Fantasy IV DS sold 612,044 copies in Japan. Worldwide it has sold 1,074,108 copies. I'd have to say it sold well. ^.^

Final Fantasy III sold well too, having sold 500,000 units within the first week in Japan, beating Square Enix's original prediction that they would only sell 350,000. As of August 6, 2007, the game sold 990,000 units in Japan and 460,000 units in North America. As of August 8, 2008, it sold 480,000 units in Europe.

Yay, then I can expect an FFV DS or PSP. I'm hoping for a PSP release, because then the graphics for a full FF game(Crisis Core was short, more graphics, more memory to do so) but since this is a full FF game, maybe the graphics could be on par with Dissidia and FFX. That wouldn't be bad at all.

Not that I'm saying I wouldn't play it if it were on the DS. Either way it has potential to make really good sales and it will be an awesome remake either way.

I've been wondering in Dissidia, why Luneth wasn't included. I know he wasn't an original character, just inserted along with the other three, but don't you think he'd be referenced? Instead they created a whole nother personality for the Onion Knight. That will surely confuse Western gamers, no? xD

But then again, since when has Square never stopped the confusion? xD It all started then they made that horrible decision to name FFIV FFII in the States... still, I guess I can't blame them.

Another thing I noticed, Cecil's DS version of Darkness was scrapped, returning to the wavy area attack of the first games. I guess they're trying to keep to original games as much as possible.

New characters are confirmed for the US Dissidia release, not to play as(aw) but extra scenes and stuff(yay). Quite possibly we may see a Gilgamesh, Genesis, Seymour, Vayne, Doctor Cid...? in some scenes? Here's hoping!

No such Dissidia II is planned UNLESS the game sells well in the US and other Western/EU areas. If they do, the directors have confirmed they will definitely consider making a sequel. However, I'm guessing they'd wait till around FFXIV-FFXVI era is around. Unless they don't want fresh characters.

As long as SOME hero from FFXII is present in the next one(hoping it's Ashe, not Vaan, but I'll take it if I have to) then I'm happy. ^_^

Okay, yeah that's true. :P

God, time flies. I remember going crazy over the Dissidia trailer not too long ago. Now I just beat Cloud's part and since he's my second one, I now have access to the Museum in Dissidia. :3 That means I'll be uploading tons of videos! I'm almost at 100 videos on youtube, yay.

Chances are it would be released on DS since its easier to program than PSP, largely due to not needing to program as sophisticated graphics. I also believe that they wouldn't want to make them as realistic model-wise so as to match the original sprites better. A game on the DS also has better possibilty for sales than a game on the PSP based on the number of sales for each system.

Thanks for answering Crys I'm happy now =)
No problem, my pleasure.

Luneth was referenced, he's an alternate costume for Onion Knight. Onion Knight himself resembles Ingus though. Here's the character's alternate costumes, most reference something.

Hero Alts
Spoiler:

Warrior of Light: Different Amano Design Colors & In-Game Sprite Coloration
Firion: "Antennae" Different Amano Design, GBA Art Design
Onion Knight: Luneth in his Onion Knight Armor, as well as Luneth's Onion Knight's Armor Colors
Cecil: Different Amano Designs
Bartz: "Zebra Shirt" Amano Design
Terra: In-Game Colors (My fav Alt, Green Hair FTW)
Cloud: Advent Children Costume, AC Sword (Only one whose alt changes the weapon)
Squall: SeeD Uniform
Zidane: Different Amano Design Colors
Tidus: Lighter Original Costume Colors
Shantotto: Wizard's Attire, the rare Black Mage Artifact Armor

Villian Alts
Spoiler:

Garland: GBA Artwork Design Colors
Emporer Mateus: Different Amano Design Colors, Origins FMV Design Colors
Cloud of Darkness: No Known Reference, just a Blue Cape.
Golbez: FFIV DS In-Game Design Colors
Exdeath: Exdeath's Soul Colors
Kefka: In-Game Battle Sprite Colors
Sephiroth: "Shirtless Sephiroth" Final Battle Costume
Ultimecia: Possibly Reference to Edea's Costume's Colors
Kuja: Original Concept Design Colors
Jecht: No Known Reference
Gabranth: Amano Coloration & Basch's Armor in Revenant Wings

Chaos Alt
Spoiler:

Chaos: In-Game Battle Sprite Coloration from Final Fantasy I. It can be chosen for him when you choose to battle him in Free Mode.

But then again, since when has Square never stopped the confusion? xD It all started then they made that horrible decision to name FFIV FFII in the States... still, I guess I can't blame them.
Final Fantasy IV & VI were renamed II & III to maintain the numbering system so fans wouldn't believe that they had missed games since the original FF was the only other one released.

New characters are confirmed for the US Dissidia release, not to play as(aw) but extra scenes and stuff(yay). Quite possibly we may see a Gilgamesh, Genesis, Seymour, Vayne, Doctor Cid...? in some scenes? Here's hoping!
My guess is that they'll be referenced in flashback scenes, but thats speculation. They may, possibly, though unlikely, show up as playable as well.

Oh Dissidia what have you done, now we want to see more characters on it, everyone have an special one, and that's a problem XD.
I'm actually good, I've got my Terra, so I'm happy. I am hoping some of the new character moves mentioned include a few new Melee moves for her though. I will say it needs more girls though, but that goes for most of the FFs considering that there are only two leads in FF, Terra & Lightning, although it could be debated that Ashe is the lead in XII, since it has a similar case to what VI had, no clear main character, at least story-wise.

Agree to that, it needs more girls.
We already know one more will be added if they make Dissidia II, Lightning.
I wonder what other characters will be added..maybe some unlockable bonus characters like Kain, Celes, or Tifa. Hopefully some more diverse characters since most of the characters in the game use swords.

Exactly. I debate and win almost always when people say Ashe isn't the lead in XII. I get so annoyed when people complain about Vaan and his main characterless-ness, when all they have to do is look at Ashe. There's you're main character. XD

I think SE would put Vaan in instead though... =[ Just like them.

No..I think he wants a rom, he sent me a message already that asked "can you sent me an Final Fantasy game please". Just ignore him, its not polite to ask that, especially since, I assume, noone knows who he is. Plus, its against the rules to post roms or links to roms. Besides, he joined November 2008 and he only has 2 posts. It can be assumed that he's just a lurker.

Badass might be the last thing that comes to mind when I think of Squall. :/

Anyways, favorite FF girl... Hard to say. I don't really have a clear cut favorite. I guess maybe Garnet or Faris. Garnet's character did annoy me at times, but I like her growth throughout the game. As for Faris, she's just awesome. ;D

Edit: Completely forgot about Agrias. D: Definitely one of my all time favorite characters. The serious attitude works wonders. ;D

Who is your favorite female character in FF?
Well lets see, here are my 1st and 2nd favorites. Plus, because I am such an art collector, I shall show them off with 6 of my favorite pictures each. ^.^
Terra Branford
Spoiler:


Rydia of the Mist
Spoiler:


And getting an honorable mention is Faris Scherwiz, if only because I wanted to show off this pic.
Spoiler:


Besides liking their personalities, I really, really, like unique hair colors, with green being my favorite color.

Oh, pretty good pics. I like Faris more that way (damn you Amano).
Yeah, thats the way I see Faris as looking when I play the games. Also, as a must, Faris & Lenna must have purple & pink hair respectively. Blondes are overused in video games. Thats why I'm a little afraid for the DS FFV remake, if ones made, I don't want them to be blonde, same for Terra.

I never thought about that, you're right, oh noes
Or in future Dissidias (if the first one succeeds).
You have to remember they were designed as blondes, and Bartz was designed as a white haired guy.
If there are future Dissidias, they will have alternates, like Terra's in this one.

But well in Dissidia Bartz got the hair color change to the one of his sprite in-game, maybe they'll do the same with Faris and Lenna?

EDIT: Oh yeah I forget about the alternative customes -_-''
I was just surprised because they were all based on Amano designs, which was the reason for blonde Terra, except for Bartz.

I'm hoping for V & VI remakes, they let you choose their hair colors.
