Yoshinori Kitase Isn’t Thinking About Final Fantasy VI Remake Even if Fans at Square Enix Ask For It

Final Fantasy brand manager Yoshinori Kitase was asked about the possibility of a Final Fantasy VI remake. It isn't in the cards, at least for now.

6 remake would be amazing imo

[Abriael]

It really depends on how they remake it. It could be great or awful, honestly.

[Terry_B]

,,their remakes are not remakes but more or less new games. So yeah...no thank you..better don't remake it.

[Kados]

The upcoming DQIII remake is being done right. They just seem to insist on butchering FF.

[Terry_B]

Exactly..and since we talk about a FF Remake..I bet they would totally butch it.

[shinoff2183]

I'm down for the hd2d remakes and stuff but I'd much prefer something a little more 3d. I'll take whatever though.

[-Foxtrot]

No no…just continue to milk VII, that’s clearly what every single FF wants /s

Any money when they finish VII they’ll start on something else VII related

We want VI, VIII and IX remakes

[I_am_Batman]

I want VIII remake more than anything else, but the last thing I want is for them to rush VII just to get to the next one. They're clearly on the right track with VII, which is amazing to me considering there were a lot of ways to screw this up and very few to do it right.

VI could certainly be done on a smaller scale, but now that I've seen what they are doing with VII, I'd want VIII and IX to at least come close to this scale of a project and it's clearly not feasible to do them all at the same time.

[-Foxtrot]

My point is once they finish VII they’ll start more VII projects rather than giving us the other remakes

It’s not about wanting them to rush

[shinoff2183]

I'd like to see ff8 to but you definitely hear more for some of the others.

Also it's been leaked a few times that ff9 remake is definitely coming. Still rumor but can't post on here the rumors.

[Snookies12]

There's no way they could feasibly do it on the scale of FF VII Remake. Too many characters they'd have to integrate into the story. Too many crazy locations and the scale would be ridiculous. I'd really like to see something kind of like they did for FF IV on the DS. It was 3D, but on a much smaller scale. Maybe something like that, but a lot nicer looking. Still, I would love to see some of those FF VI moments with today's graphics. Like Ultima Weapon, the ghost train, the Warring Triad, the floating continent, Kefka's tower, the world of ruin, etc.

[Furesis]

The closest you'll get for that is in FF14 but yea it would be a huge undertaking. If they would just scale down the graphics it would be more feasible but square enix just has to have the best graphics no matter what. I would even take FF13 style graphics or 10 like fuck it. I just want a more modern version of all of it.

[MrNinosan]

You do know that FFXIII still today look better than most games.
A FFVII Remake scaled remake of FFVI won't ever happen, and we just got the remaster, once again.

[shinoff2183]

I'm Homer Simpson drooling right now snookies12

[LG_Fox_Brazil]

I still think it's the best Final Fantasy to date, I have a genuine love for FFIV, but VI is still a masterpiece without rivals to me in the JRPG department

[shinoff2183]

LG

I don't agree but I don't hate your opinion. Alot of the old school ff were fking fantastic

[PhoenixUp]

Square Enix just released an HD-2D remake for Live a Live and will do so for Dragon Quest III

They could easily do the same for Final Fantasy V & VI

[Blank]

That’s heartbreaking to hear.

[Gardenia]

That's good to hear, because he would f*ck it up like the FFVII "remake". Let Bluepoint do it, I trust them to do a great job. But personally I would like to see a FFIX remake first.

[shinoff2183]

Ff9 remake is coming.

[Meti]

FF9 please! Most fantasy game ever made and my top 3 games ever.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I'd be happy with a HD-2D face life, otherwise, even budget graphics like what Secret of Mana had would be fine, as long as the everything else about the game remains intact.

[shinoff2183]

I know it was hated on but I liked the secret of mana remake. I don't remember the og one much so maybe I'm missing something

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I never played the original, but people complained that mechanically, it was too much like the original game, I was happy with, at the time, it was the most fun I've had in a while.

[shinoff2183]

That'd be pretty cool. I'm also still waiting on a physical release fo= pixel remaster on more then just the switch. Still dirty how they did that. It probably would of sold half a mill if not more.

[Genji]

They would absolutely destroy FF VI if they did a stupid 3d action rpg reimagining of a true classic. FF VI is arguably the best of the series. Remake 8 or 9, since they deserve some love. Leave VI the hell alone.
