Despite owning a copy of the game for more than 20 years, it was only days ago that I dethroned Kefka and saw the Final Fantasy VI through to the end. My love for those earlier entries in the series has been rekindled, mainly thanks to the recent mobile ports that weave in some welcome quality of life improvements. With Final Fantasy XVI also on the way – due to launch exclusively on PS5 in 2021 – Square Enix have a full slate, but that hasn’t stopped us from greedily plotting in our heads what other dream Final Fantasy projects we’d like to see. We’re still in a state of FF7 mania and while it’s easy to get caught up in it all, we’re hoping that Square Enix will know when to apply the brakes before steering fans into an all too familiar state of fatigue.

If the rampant success of Final Fantasy VII Remake wasn’t enough, Square recently launched FF7R Intergrade – a beefy expansion starring fan favourite character Yuffie. Right now, there’s plenty of FF action to go around. Although Square Enix are planning to re-release the first six Final Fantasy games as part of their upcoming Pixel Remaster Collection for PC and mobile, we’re likely to see these titles spruced up instead of being rebuilt entirely.

With many golden era JRPGs of the 1990s making a comeback, it’s about time we finally had a proper Final Fantasy VI remake.
