Default More Truly Retro Games

Alright, I just read a post concerning a port of FFI to the cell phone. Upon investigation of the source, I saw some things concerning making new games like the first 5 or so for cell phones. So I got to thinking, why can't they make more games like IV especially, and so forth, keepin their older natures intact, by which I mean:
1) old graphics
2) old battle systems
3) censored language (Not necesarrily because some find it vulgar, but to keep the style of the old games. Language isn't necesarry for these games to be good, the fact that VI is considered to be near the best proves it. I don't want to get into the argument that I always get into, Let's just keep it out of the game)
4) 16 bit plot: an evil force is coming to take over the world, so on and so forth.

How's this sound.

Sounds great to me. I already got IV on the SNES but a Mobile version wouldn't be bad to have, if it fit my budget.

I really don't understand the desire to include censored language. Do you mean you want to keep the weird trash talk like "YOU SPOONY BARD!!!" or do you want some sort of less harsh tone? Just trying to understand. Also, the "16 bit plot" isn't something you'll have to worry about. The plotlines of the games don't really change all that much. There's always some big dark spooky force bent on ruining everyone's day.

I wouldn't mind that. I don't know about the censored language, though. Sure, you gotta keep the goofy things that made the game, but I don't want my badass mercenary ninja goin' "Dang!" when he gets slapped around by a monster. A touchup of the graphics would be nice, too. FF IV is by far my favorite, but all the better if the graphics had the detail, depth, shadings, or whatever, of V and VI.

I mean, if you want the exact same game, just play the original. How much time are you going to spend playing your cell phone?

How often do I have a SNES with me on the road/at work/at school/wherever?

How long are you going to be able to play a game when you're on the road/at work/at school/wherever? Maybe it's just me, but if I'm only going to be able to fight maybe three random battles or buy the diamond armor before I have to save and shut it off, having other business to attend to, such as driving, or doing my job, or taking notes, it doesn't seem worth it.

And, even if you've got 25 minutes on the subway to play it, why have the original, when you can have an improved version?

Well, personally, I always seem to have time on my hands. And by "on the road", I meant on a trip or something, not while your driving.

Wait, so your saying to just play the original, than your saying why have the original? And 25 mins is plenty of time to play a little, gain a level or two.

Well, there was the original thread topic, which was to keep the games the way they are, and I figured, if they're gonna put the same game on the cell phone, why play the cell phone, when you got it at home? No time to play it (for me, anyway), yada yada yada. And, if you WERE to play the game on the cell phone, why have the original, when you could get an improved version?

Sorry, I tend to wander around when I speak/type/what have you.

True, 25 minutes IS enough to make a little headway, but I don't like doin' things for just a few minutes. If I go somewhere, or do something, I'ma do it for the better part of a day.
