Kitase revealed the information in a special roundtable discussion to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the series alongside Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of the FF series, and Kazuko Shibuya, an artist who worked on FF1-6. All three worked on the original FF6, which is now nearly 30 years old.

Kitase is currently the producer on all thingsFF7, withFF7 Rebirthcurrently in development. “FF7 Remake is not yet finished so I am not able to think about [a FF6 remake],” Kitase reportedly said, prompting Sakaguchi to ask “won’t you release it a little sooner?”, which caused everyone to laugh.

FF7 Rebirth appeared right at the end ofSummer Game Festwith a new trailer and arelease window of early 2024 for PS5, so sadly it seems like we’ll have to wait a little bit longer for a remake of 6. It’d be difficult to make, but Kitase didn’t say no so… can you please release Rebirth a little sooner?
