Square Enix’s Masaaki Hayasaka Hints at Potential “Final Fantasy 6” Remake

Masaaki Hayasaka of Square Enix spoke about the remake of “Final Fantasy 6” in an interview with foreign media outlet “inverse.” Masaaki Hayasaka, producer of the HD-2D version of “Dragon Quest III: And Into the Legend,” released by Square Enix on November 14, 2024, mentioned the remake of “Final Fantasy VI” in an interview with foreign media outlet “Inverse.” According to the article, the idea for a remake of “Dragon Quest III: Into the Legend” was raised within the company after the HD-2D graphics expression was born with “Octopath Traveler.” It is said that “Octopath Traveler” was developed with reference to “Final Fantasy VI”, which had the highest quality pixel art. Hayasaka said he would personally like to see what the inspirational games would look like when the HD-2D art style is applied to them. However, there are no specific plans within the company to remake “Final Fantasy 6” in HD/2D, and this is merely his personal opinion. The interview also revealed that the HD-2D remake was not as easy as one might think, that “Dragon Quest 3” was made with the intention of serving as an “entrance” to attract new users, that the feature that allowed characters to move during battle was abandoned, and that extensive research was done into previous titles, including “Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age,” during production. “Final Fantasy 6” is one of the most representative RPGs of the Super Nintendo generation. The path to a remake may depend on how well the HD-2D versions of “The Loto Trilogy” turn out. ascii.
