Another opportunity to replay one of my all-time favourite RPGs. Though I would be happier if it came for my 3DS, but oh well.
So, in looking up some info on this, it seems like we won't see it until after FFIV the after years. I liked the after years, I'd much rather have VI first though. Just thought I'd post this to add a better time frame for release. SE rarely gives much advance warning of release.

Great news but I'm one of the few people that like 3d over 2d. But I'd get it anyways no matter what. However the only issue I have is with their 2d remakes like they did with 5. I didn't like the new sprites as well as many other people. If they're the same style then..... :\
Although I'm a recent convert to the FF series, first playing FF III & IV on iOS (skipped V due to i. 2d sprites, ii. not significantly different from III - weak narrative - and iii. random encounters), it is safe to say that a considerable number of FF fans may claim that the series ended with FF IX. Looking forward to VI, given the sheer number of fans who proclaim it as the best in the series. Also have to check V's musical score on YouTube.
Now that FFIVTAY is out, any more news on when this will drop onto the App Store? Hope it's before Christmas.
hurry up and get to 7 seriously... FF7 please! You know we all want it. I'll pay anything just to replay the game in all of it's glory. one step closer...
A few points. FF5 is better then 3 and 4 combined. The story/job system/everything is vastly superior. No true FF fan will ever say 6 is better than 7. The general opinion is that 6 is the best of the SNES era FF games. and finally, FF definitely didn't die with 9. 10, 12 AND 13 stayed very true to the franchise without getting stale. They've had some hiccups but good ol square is still making good choices with the franchise. These are just my opinions but they're echoed throughout the community. This is my favorite franchise and all are done so well. To be able to play FF6 on my phone is something I would've never considered possible 5 years ago. Now, it is a reality. Hoping it comes out before Christmas but seeing as I've been waiting years and years for this.....I think I can wait.
http://www.ign.com/top/rpgs/1 That doesn't say ff7. There are true FF fans that say 9, 8, 4, tactics, etc. people can choose what they want and still be 'true' ff fans.
Finally, it's about time they remake 6. I've been dying to play it but I grew up with FF8 so I was turned off by the classic 2D sprites and skipped all pre-7.
