The reaction was extremely good when Square Enix announced that they’re remaking Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation 4 and possibly the Xbox One, but will they stop there? Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura has hinted to Venture Beat that he wants more Final Fantasy remakes but he is setting his sights on older Final Fantasy titles like those for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo and Gameboy Advance. Specifically he is interested in Final Fantasy V and VI. There’s clearly money to be made from remakes so it’s not too surprising.

 

 

“Considering that we have remakes of Final Fantasy up to IV and then we have VII — I’ve been working with Mr. [Yoshinori] Kitase since Final Fantasy V, and we’ve noticed that V and VI are missing. That bothers me,” Nomura said. “How come we skipped over those two?”

DON'T

 

KNOOOOW. But it's been pissing me off since 2009.

They should remake 6 after they finish with 7, KH3, and FFXV

Wait what? I thought remakes of that kind of big games were hard to make? Now it's apparently easy?

 

Also does that mean VIII and IX will get one too? 

I have to agree with Nomura, it is bothersome especially considering that VI is considered by many to be the best in the series. I have been waiting for a remake to try out these titles, so it is disappointing that it is taking this long.

remaking something on the scale of ff7 with next gen graphics is hard

FF5 and FF6 would probably get something more like the FF4DS remake. None of the games besides FF7 could support a remake on the budget and scale FF7 is receiving

FF8 and 9 would take similar huge budgets and efforts, and it'd be hard to make the money back, so it's unlikely. Unlike tile based RPGs with a set number of assets to remake, the PS1 games all feature dated CG backgrounds

I'd love a V and VI remake on the 3DS in the same vein as III and IV on DS. I'm surprised they still haven't remade V and VI to be honest.

I'm surprised Ito has shown his face since FFIV was remade.
