OS ANGELES — Final Fantasy fans were ecstatic to see Square Enix finally reveal a remake of the seventh installment in the series. However, it’s never too early to wonder about the future.
During a group interview session yesterday at the ongoing Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, I talked with Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura. Not only is he directing the Final Fantasy VII remake, but he’s been involved with the series since 1992’s Final Fantasy V. I asked him if he had any interest in working on remakes for the series’ other installments on the original PlayStation, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX.
But Nomura was thinking a bit further back than I was.
“Considering that we have remakes of Final Fantasy up to IV and then we have VII — I’ve been working with Mr. [Yoshinori] Kitase since Final Fantasy V, and we’ve noticed that V and VI are missing. That bothers me,” Nomura said. “How come we skipped over those two?”
Final Fantasy XII HD and Final Fantasy VIII remake though, please I'd kill Meowster for them. With my own bare hands.
So far he seems focused on the earlier titles but the playstation era isn't exactly off the table.
This is part of their plan of reviving console gaming in Japan
