[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61982, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/final-fantasy-vi']Final Fantasy 6[/URL] director Yoshinori Kitase has said a remake akin to that of Final Fantasy 7's could take around 20 years to complete. X/Twitter user Genki translated an interview with [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aKJFzIPitY&t=9124s&ab_channel=JulienChi%C3%A8ze']Julien Chièze[/URL] in which Kitase, who's now a vice president, member of the board, and executive officer at Square Enix, said he's aware of how popular a remake of Final Fantasy 6 would be, but couldn't say for sure if it would ever happen. He then noted that, because of the depth of Final Fantasy 6, with so much content and so many characters, it would take twice the length of Final Fantasy 7 Remake to develop and release.

The project would be very difficult, however, and Kitase said he couldn't think about it until the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy has wrapped. The difficulty behind remaking Final Fantasy 6 was elaborated on by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, who said the original 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 his grievances, it appears even Sakaguchi is eager for the remake, asking Kitase: "Won't you release it a little sooner?"
