I would very much love Final Fantasy V to be remade in 3D! Just imagine all those outfits from different classes from EACH characters! But if they do that, it'll be very much compared to Bravely Default, since that game utilizes the job system. Though the job system originated from FFIII, and FFV greatly expanded it.
So I'd say, if FF Tactics won't come to smartphones, I will surely hope for FFV 3D remake.
Whereas for FFVI, if it's going to be remade, I won't like it if the game gets the same treatment with FFIII & FFIV. The experience that I got with the 64-bit game back in the days were priceless. And without the Sakaguchi x Kitase team-up, I'll just want it for what it was. The FFVI has strong plot, that the game should be fully realized, like FFXV, so the emotions, fights, and confrontations can be correctly conveyed. But like what I said earlier, without Sakaguchi, even if it's just a remake, it'll be totally different. My favorite moments might turn out to be a forgettable one if not executed correctly.

That makes zero sense. Sakaguchi directed III, IV and V and you're happy with them getting remakes but not the game he produced in VI? Honestly III and IV's remakes went great with only a designer of the original team. VI would have it's original directors in Kitase and Ito.
Out of the 6 "best FF"(acording to the extremely broken fanbase) he only directed 1 (FFIV).
Kitase directed 2 (FFVI/VII)
Ito directed 3 (FFVI/IX/XII)#
Toriyama directed 1 (FFX)
#Though i personally consider Kitase to be more the director of VI rather than Ito; just like Nomura to Tabata with XV though i'm a bit more light in that situation.
And yes, his last project was what created SE and no one seens to blame him and misblame Nomura for anything related to Square or FF, even when Nomura is not involve at all. (I would say it was both Sakaguchi and SquareSoft itself and as to who was more responsible thats debatable)

Besides VI, VII and X I wouldn't name any other Final Fantasy to be the "best" (according to the general consens of the fanbase) even if I personally wouldn't put X in there and IX and VIII would rank on #1. But these three titles have by far the most fans. XII is extremely controversial and is nowhere to be one of the most beloved entries but it has a very loyal and vocal fanbase.
My understanding of it is that Kitase was in charge of scenario and events while Ito was in charge of battles (essentially gameplay I guess). Sakaguchi was producer and worked closely with Kitase.
Anyway, topic at hand, I'd like a 3d remake for V and VI, especially for 3Ds. But I don't think it'll happen.
e: oh yeah, if you want to read more about when Sakaguchi and Kitase worked together on FF V and VI you can read the beginning of this interview. I believe there was actually a thread about this here too if I remember correctly

I could probably guess that the reason Sakaguchi didn't handle the series after FFV, was because he just became Square Enix executive vice president. Being a director of a game while doing the vice president responsibilities is just superhuman, that's why he entrusted Kitase to direct it, as well with Ito, and just sticked to being a producer. But even though he's just the producer, he had important contributions, especially the characters and the cutscenes. Also to point out, FFVI was the first to have two directors working on an FF game.
I'm on the same boat as you. Obviously respect the man, but I think people really glorified him, especially AFTER his departure. The success of Final Fantasy was never just him, he was a huge part, but he also limited the series to a certain extend.
As for the topic. I've played VI many times and still my favourite Final Fantasy. I don't mind a remake of it, not because it needs to, but so I can have a different experience. I never played V, so I can't say.

In regards to Sakaguchi and Kitase’s role in FFVI, here’s a Kitase quote from an old 1Up interview. The site is no more but I’ve been using this excerpt over the years and haven’t forgot about it. Even got the dead source link too! http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=1&cId=3178085
Nice finding, though the game credits Kitase/Ito as the directors of FFVI and puts Sakaguchi as the writer and producer. My question would be how much directional control did Sakaguchi or Kitase/Ito had back in FFVI development ?,like who was the one in charge of saying YES or NO to certain design choices and puting things together ?
