Square Enix Staff Express Strong Interest in Final Fantasy VI Remake and FPS-style Gameplay

Many members of Square Enix's development teams are eager to remake Final Fantasy 6, according to Final Fantasy 6 director Yoshinori Kitase. However, the game's pixel art and 2D format would make it much more complicated to redo, demanding a complete overhaul of the story and graphics. Despite this, even Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi is eager for the remake. The ongoing Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is a far cry from what the original Final Fantasy 7 was, so Square Enix certainly wasn't concerned with having to completely revamp the original in this case.
