Final Fantasy 6 Remake Could Take 20 Years, Says Original Director

Yoshinori Kitase cites the extensive number of characters and the scale of the game as major challenges for a potential remake.

Yoshinori Kitase, the original director of Final Fantasy 6, has suggested that a remake of the game could take as long as 20 years to develop due to the extensive number of characters and the scale of the game.
Kitase's perspective comes from his experience with the ongoing Final Fantasy 7 Remake project, which has spanned a decade with the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Despite Kitase's push within Square Enix for a Final Fantasy 6 remake, he seems less optimistic about the feasibility of a lengthy and financially demanding project.
The prospect of a Final Fantasy 6 remake has been a topic of discussion among the community and even within Square Enix for a long time.
While a complete remake of Final Fantasy 6 might be unlikely, fans of the series can still enjoy the game in its original form or through the Final Fantasy 6 Pixel Remaster.
