Classics from the golden age of JRPGs
Many gamers consider the Super Nintendo era to be the golden age of Japanese role-playing games. With titles like Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy VI holds a big place in the hearts of some players who consider it the best RPG on the SNES. With its story, its music, its artistic direction and its female protagonist (a first in the series!), the game will have shaped its generation.
Unfortunately for some, or fortunately for others, It might be wiser to expect a Final Fantasy IX remake from Square Enix than a Final Fantasy VI remake. Should there be a remake of the sixth work, an “HD 2D” version like the Dragon Quest III remake might be a good compromise.
