A Final Fantasy VII re-release of some kind could appear in the future
Final Fantasy VI, arguably the series’ zenith, hasn’t been milked and re-released to the same extent as other titles in the franchise. Even the harder to obtainFinal Fantasy Vhascome to iOS. Well, no more, says Square Enix, because an updated version ofFinal Fantasy VIis coming to iOS and Android this winter, Square director and producer Takashi Tokita toldKotakutoday.
“It is basically like a remake of the originalVI,” Tokita said, “But there have been some enhancements. The battle systems have been altered for the other [mobile remakes] forFinal FantasyandVIwill be the same. For instance grinding was an issue and people had to spend a lot of time leveling up. Now on the mobile devices the battle systems have been adjusted so you don’t have to fight as much and can enjoy the game for what it is.”
The visuals will also see a smoothing out like the somewhat uncanny-lookingFinal Fantasy ViOS. Speaking of doing things with legacy titles, when asked if the Legacy series could include games fromVIIon, Tokita responded, “We are aware that we have tons ofVIIfans. We haveVIIfans in our own company. If this Legacy project works out well, we would like to one day be able to work with VII.”
