Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto has told Siliconera that the company are watching progress of 3DS to decide whether to make Final Fantasy V or VI for the console. Fingers crossed.
“As you saw from Nintendo’s press conference yesterday, there is new hardware coming out. We knew that was coming. We had to make decisions understanding that there were hardware changes in the near future and where want to put our resources…No decision has been made. Rather than creating [Final Fantasy] V or VI for the current DS we want to take a look to see how 3DS does, how it evolves, and then make a decision.”
