FF6 Remake is one of the games most requested by the license community and JRPG lovers. A fan has made a sketch of what it might look like.
FF7 Remake opened the door to all possibilities. For years, JRPG lovers dreamed of such a game before the dream became a reality. Since then, fans of the license have continued to create their little wish list. Among the most requested episodes for an update are FF8 and FF9, which would be eligible according to several leaks, or even Final Fantasy Tactics, which would go in the rem astered box according to journalist Jason Schreier. At the top of the list, however, is a possible FF6 remake. While the creators of the original game are not particularly enthusiastic about such a project, one fan had fun imagining what it could look like and it clearly makes them want to do it.
A fan imagines a FF6 remake
The wait for FF7 Remake 3 seems to be a very long one. To say that the conclusion of this new trilogy is eagerly awaited would be an understatement at this point, so some talented fans are busy doing it as best they can. The artists are having fun imagining future scenes, but one developer had another idea: to give diehard fans of the license what they most want, a taste of what a FF6 remake could look like. We therefore find Terra in two of the game’s environments, including the Castle of Figaro, all accompanied by a re-orchestration by the composer of AIKODE, an independent title she is working on. The result, although patchy due to lack of time, is clearly enough to put stars in the eyes of fans who dream of such a project.
In any case, Square Enix will not start such a project tomorrow. Yoshinori Kitase recently stated in an interview that it would take at least two decades to make a FF6 remake that can compete with the seventh episode. Despite everything, several veterans of the license who worked on the game and current developers at Square Enix do not hide their interest in such a remake. ” I think the FF6 remake would be difficult. …There are a lot of fans of the game in the company who ask me, “When are we doing 6?” »
A FF9 remake announced soon?
If a FF6 remake fails to discover the adventures of Terra in a new light, those of Djidanne and his troop would be entitled to a remake in the style of Dragon Quest 3 2D HD. Nvidia’s famous mistake made headlines a few years ago, and the FF9 remake was reaffirmed by the recent leak from the Epic Games Store which revealed a handful of upcoming projects. According to initial information, it would therefore be a 2D HD remake that would retain the turn-based combat system. However, Square Enix has not made anything official for now, despite a hint from Naoki Yoshida, producer of Final Fantasy 14. The MMORPG does indeed offer pre-order bonuses in the colors of FF9 and the person concerned promised that “we would understand soon” why there is such a collaboration. Two scenarios are then possible: an announcement at Gamescom 2024 in August or during the Game Awards in December. To be continued…
