Square Enix devs want to remake Final Fantasy 6

While not officially announced, we do know that Square Enix is working on a Final Fantasy 9 remake. As it turns out, the Final Fantasy team doesn't want to stop there, with internal devs requesting that Final Fantasy 6 gets the remake treatment next. 

In a video on the Square Enix YouTube channel, Yoshinori Kitase, the director of Final Fantasy 6, confirmed that developers inside the company have been asking him about the possibility of a Final Fantasy 6 Remake. You can see the full quote in the tweet below, as translated by Genki.

Kitase on when they will make Final Fantasy VI Remake:

"I think FF6 Remake would be difficult. FF7 Remake is not yet finished so I am not able to think about it… But for FF6 there are many FF6 fans inside the company and they often ask me 'when are we making 6?'" pic.twitter.com/kC0EFLqiTn

For now, Square Enix is focused on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which is getting a Part Two in 2024. Beyond that, we know through leaks that Square Enix is also working on a Final Fantasy 9 remake, which could push a 6 Remake back a bit further.

Final Fantasy 6 is one of the most beloved games in the series, often ranking highly amongst long-time fans and players. It was also the last 2D-pixel-based mainline Final Fantasy game.

KitGuru Says: Given that Final Fantasy 6 was the last 2D game in the mainline series, it may be difficult to remake. If you just want to appease long-time fans, then an HD-2D remake may suffice, but if you want to bring in a lot of new fans, the jump to 3D graphics will be a necessity.
