FINAL FANTASY V and FINAL FANTASY VI are larger than FINAL FANTASY IV. This is why they didn't port them to the WonderSwan Color.

 

The hardware available might not suit remakes for these titles. Square Enix said in early 2010 they would take a look at the Nintendo 3DS and see if it would be suitable for remakes of FFV and FFVI along with Before Crisis. We haven't heard anything since. The possible requirement of supporting the 3D might be a turn off. Would it truly make sense if these titles supported 3D when none of the others do? As for the PlayStation Vita, it doesn't make much sense to release a remake of this scale exclusively on a console that has a small user-base.

 

Hiroyuki Ito's absence. The last released game Ito worked on was the FINAL FANTASY IV remake for Nintendo DS. Ito was the Game Designer and Battle System Designer for FINAL FANTASY V and he was also the Co-Director, Game Designer, Battle System Designer for FINAL FANTASY VI. He also supervised the Game Boy Advance ports. It wouldn't make sense without him working on them. It is rumoured he is working on new major title.

 

Matrix Software (the company who handled the development of the 3D remakes of III, IV and most versions of THE AFTER YEARS) just finished developing remasters for iOS and Android. The in-game sprites and menu portraits were also remade by Kazuko Shibuya who made the original sprites for the SNES versions. It wouldn't make sense to do all this work and then just release remakes of them in the next year or two.

 

I hate to say it, but I can't see remakes of either of these games coming before the series' 30th anniversary at least.

Laziness, much higher priorites, All you base are belong to us, better games, I do not know what else to say.

Laziness and unorganized priorities,cuz really it's not that hard to do what they did with FF4 on the PSP to 5 and 6 

 

Seriously fans already made remastered mods using emulators so it shouldn't be that big  of a hassle to do the same with 5 and 6 and release them on the PS Store and the e-shop

I don't think they see the need to do that when it's already playable on those platforms through emulation.

Money?That's the biggest reason they should do it

 

Releasing them on PS Store and e-shop will make them tons of money especially if it's a remastered version like FF4 Complete collection on PSP with the option to switch between the remixed soundtrack and the original

Do we want 100 versions of these games on the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop? If Square Enix were this concerned about money they'd release all their games digitally and have all their games available for emulation. Outside of Japan at least, they aren't very good at that.

 

Pretty sure those PSP versions were remakes, not remasters. If they were going do those for V and VI they would have done that instead of those remasters by Matrix Software.

Square is a dumb.
