Firstly, Square have stated that they wished to redo FFV & VI on handheld but that the WonderSwan (which FFI, II, III have been remade on) was not powerful enough to cope. So from this is seems fairly likely we'll see all the SNES FF's on GBA, spesh considering GBA is little more than a handheld SNES.

As for the question of releasing the games in Europe, there in NO need to worry. GBA does not have territorial lockout so we can simply import them from the US.

Its hard to know the exact position on the remakes of FFIV - VI already put foward, as that happened last year. And in that time IV has become a Wonderswan Game. (despite III still not making an appearance.) But I reckon we can expect to see these sometime in 2003 at the earliest. Though personally i'd rather see 1-3 released as they are far more fresh than 4-6...

And yes. The limitations of TV based consoles are not a problem with the GBA, perhaps this alone will sway European publishing of the games, as the development periods will be shortned greatly (though the need to translate into other european languages may sadly remain...)
