Square Enix staff have been asking the Final Fantasy head for a Final Fantasy 6 remake
Square Enix staff members have reportedly been asking Final Fantasy’s brand manager if a remake of Final Fantasy 6 is coming.
During an official roundtable discussion to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy brand manager and Final Fantasy 7 Remake producer Yoshinori Kitase addressed the topic of a potential Final Fantasy 6 Remake.

“Final Fantasy 7 Remake is not yet finished, so I am not able to think about it. But there are many Final Fantasy 6 fans inside the company, and they often ask me ‘when are we making 6?’.”

However, he did then ask Kitase: “Won’t you release it a little sooner?” This caused Kitase to laugh, and say it isn’t easy.
Hironobu Sakaguchi also said that as FF6 is a pixel based game they would have to change the story and making it into CG would be very hard to do, but he then asked Kitase “Won’t you release it a little sooner?” lol Kitase said it is not easy.
