Even devs within the company keep asking for a Final Fantasy VI remake, says Square Enix VP
Final Fantasy VII is currently in the process of being remade, with the second part due out in 2024 and the final part coming…who knows when! While there’s still a lot of work to be done on that project, it turns out employees at Square Enix are already eager to tackle another remake.
Square Enix Vice President Yoshinori Kitase has been chatting a lot about Final Fantasy lately, as Final Fantasy XVI is literally days away from launch and Final Fantasy VII’s remake is deep in development. With remakes and new releases keeping the Final Fantasy franchise alive, it’s not surprising to hear fans are eager to see what other installments get the remake treatment. Chief among those requests is Final Fantasy VI, and it turns out a lot of employees within Square Enix feel the same.
“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?’”

If a remake of the SNES classic were to ever come about, it would likely be years and years away. If one does come to fruition some day, let’s hope it lands on whatever platform Nintendo is pushing at the time!
