Today in things I wish Square Enix was working oninstead of terrible blockchain gamesandyet more Final Fantasy 7 mobile games: a remake ofFinal Fantasy 6that uses the 3D positional combat ofFinal Fantasy Tactics.

Luckily, while Squeenix might be preoccupied with lesser concerns, modders Connor and Chelsea Dunn (or at least, one of them under the YouTube channel of that name) have taken it upon themselves to port Final Fantasy 6 into the Final Fantasy Tactics engine, thus finally uniting two of the series’ absolute GOATs in one perfect-looking creation.

Having been working on Final Fantasy 6: Tactics since at least mid-April, the account added that they expect to spend at least a couple more months working on the project before it covers Final Fantasy 6’s story up to the final dungeon of its first world, the World of Balance’s Floating Continent. The plan is for the mod to eventually be releasedvia the Final Fantasy Hacktics community.

Given that Square Enix’s own staff aredesperate for a proper remake of Final Fantasy 6, rather than just a pixel remaster, hopefully the task of paying respect to one of the greats won’t be left up to to dedicated fans forever.
