In an interview with Jeremy Parish from USGamers, Yoshinori Kitase asked him this:

Here's a hypothetical question -- and this is just hypothetical, so don't read too much into this -- what if we were to take a game like, say, Final Fantasy VI that does have the ATB system but is basically command-based. What if we were to take that game and breathe new life into it? Make it into a current-gen game? Would users be OK with it in that turn-based style?

The question was asked inside a bigger question regarding a potential return of the classic turn-based ATB-style Final Fantasy.

My answer:

Fuck. Yes.

 

[TheContact]

what a silly question to ask. OF COURSE WE DO!!!

but it's just a hypothetical question

 

[Toki767]

Hell yes.

 

[bluecapsule]

If they did remake it, it'd be for the 3DS for iOS.

 

[Papytendo]

No.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Judging by their previous iOS remakes, fuck NO!

 

[kasane]

FF 6 is the best. This is the one fans should be clamoring for.

Edit: For HOME consoles of course.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

YES, PLEASE, TERRA IN HD AS WELL AS SABIN MOTHERFUCKING SUPLEX A TRAIN IN HD, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

So yes, please make it, and make it good while I masturbate in terror.

 

[chertipros]

Fuck yes. All my yes.

 

[Luigiv]

If they did remake it, it'd be for the 3DS for iOS.

Yes please.

Spoiler

No thanks for iOS, though.

 

[MikeE21286]

My answer:

Fuck. Yes.

.

 

[theSlacker]

No. For the same reason I don't want a remake of 7. I don't trust current Square to not fuck it up.

 

[ZPs]

For the love of god yes. So long as it was for a non-mobile system anyways.

 

[Vanille]

No thanks.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Yes, ever since Square weighed the option of remaking FFV and VI for the 3DS a la FFIV.

 

[Bronetta]

Remake it for the 3DS. If they did a console remake it would take forever.

 

[Amir0x]

YES.

YES I DO WANT THAT

YES ABSOLUTELY.

Oh man with orchestrated remixes of the classic tracks, oh man...it would be amazing.

Edit: Oh, also... FFVI's style is super distinctive and to this day unlike anything else in JRPGs. Please, when you 'reimagine' its visual style, you retain its dark, steampunk-like direction.

 

[khaaan]

Sure, why not?

 

[CorySchmitz]

Never played it, heard it's the best one, so yes pls.

 

[AlucardGV]

no, i just want the new final fantasy to be good. i don't ask FFVI level, just make them good.

 

[John Rabbit]

no because you'll just fuck it up.

 

[Muffdraul]

Am I missing something? To me that quote reads as him merely using FFVI as an example of classic turn based game play. i.e. designing a current gen game that plays like FFVI, as opposed to an old school style 2D game on iOS or PSP or whatever.

 

[jiggle]

the fear is overwhelming me

 

[funkystudent]

"Remake" it like the remade FFIV on psp but release it on everything. Consoles, portables, phones. Whatever.

 

[linko9]

I'd love for a new "parallel" FF series to come out on handhelds, in the vein of FF5 and 6; much like Heroes of Light but with more resources put into them. But that's just a pipedream.

 

[Khrno]

Fuck Kitase, he can keep producing Lightning games for all I care.

On-topic, Itou is the man to remake VI, but before even doing that, a proper 3D remake for V is due.

 

[Famassu]

"So don't read too much into this", you should really think of another thread title, this one is misleading as if it really sounds like they are considering one.

 

[ohlawd]

No thanks. They'll fuck it up by either putting it on home consoles or smartphones.

 

[Meccanical]

Prove you can make a good new one before you remake anything.

 

[Karsticles]

YES.

YES I DO WANT THAT

YES ABSOLUTELY.

Oh man with orchestrated remixes of the classic tracks, oh man...it would be amazing

This, so this.

 

[kurahador]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Not for iOS pls!

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Not really. The only way I'd be down for it is if it's a full-spec remake for the PS4 with absolutely nothing cut out whatsoever.

But if it were to get a remake, it would probably be for a handheld or a phone, and they'd probably cut out a bunch of content while at the same time adding in new content related to Genesis. No thanks.

EDIT: holy crap, my bad. I must've misread and thought it said VII.

A remake of FF6? Absofuckinglutely, as long as it does NOT USE the XIII combat system. Full party control or nothing.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Yes yes yes, a thousand times yes

 

[Riposte]

They should make a sequel instead.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Nah. They should spend the manpower they could spend on those remakes to instead help get shit like FFXV done.

If they do, though, they should use the Woolsey FF3 script for the US release.

 

[Village]

will you do 6-9

You should I would purchase all of them.

 

[radcliff]

No, make something new, maybe something not even Final Fantasy. Old school gamers will find some reason(s) why the original is better and new school gamers will ask how we could have played something so basic back in the day.

 

[orioto]

I'll take it as a great new game, knowing it will shit on everything FFVI was, but that's ok. it won't replace it

 

[cj_iwakura]

Yes if it's like the PSP version of IV.

God no if it's like the DS version.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Fuck remakes. Give us original games!

 

[KazeDancer]

hell yes but instead of more remakes I just want 15 to kick ass plz

 

[cafemomo]

YES YES YES.

VI BEST FF

I WOULD BUY IT ON DAY ONE.

 

[OverturePT]

Why wouldn't we want a remake of the best FF?

 

[FlyFaster]

Yes please god.

Loved the FF4 remake on DS. Added some modern elements but kept it true to the original.

Wii U please!

 

[Aeris130]

Not anymore.

 

[Wandering Leopard]

Even if it takes 10 years. Please do it, original sound track too of course.

 

[JehutyRunner]

Actually, the impression I got from reading that interview was if they made a new Final Fantasy - say, for argument sake, Final Fantasy XVI - akin to how Final Fantasy VI was, not an actual Final Fantasy VI remake.

 

[Malvingt2]

wth? of course, is the best FF game................T_T

 

[Glass Rebel]

I'd like to have 3DS remakes of FFV and VI to go alongside my copy of FFIV.

 

[MaximusNeo701]

only if they don't botch the existing story and actually give us the towns and not cry HD towns are too hard. Or the new one with the old style actually have an amazing story like 6 did.
