With the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy reaching its conclusion next year, franchise fans are already asking which game will be next for a modern-day glow-up. The subject was brought up during the Final Fantasy Fan Festival in Berlin on the weekend, and Final Fantasy 14’s Naoki Yoshida said that some of the most-requested titles for a remake would need multiple games to pull off successfully.<\/p>\n
Final Fantasy 6 appears to be at the top of the list–with Final Fantasy 8 and 9 also in contention–but Yoshida said that this would be a mammoth undertaking. “Of course I understand the feelings of the players, but you’ve got\u00a0to think about it,” Yoshida (via a translator and GamesRadar). “Look at Final Fantasy 6, it’s such an incredibly huge game. The scale is just immense. So, of course, now because you are working on the Final Fantasy 7 series, I do get that people would be asking for remakes of other titles. But if we did remake those other titles, we’d probably end up having to release them in four or maybe even five installments.”<\/p>\n
Yoshida isn’t joking, as Final Fantasy 6 on its own is a massive title. With over a dozen protagonists, several major battles, and some of the best worldbuilding in the series, it’s a miracle that it even managed to squeeze onto an SNES cartridge back in the day. Final Fantasy 8 and 9 are also incredibly massive games, combining a huge scope with distinct gameplay systems and stories. They might look primitive by today’s standards, but in terms of content, they are considerable timesinks.<\/p>\n
