In the recent Rpg Site interview Square Enix game's director Kitase was asked a number of questions regarding the status of Final Fantasy's X|X-2 but amongst those questions and responses one section of the interview stuck out like a sore thumb and it was simply to do with the revival of previous instalments, most notably the infamous Final Fantasy XII. As quoted from the interview..We might be one step closer to getting to see Vaan’s emaciated, whiny abs in glorious HD. Vita, and PS4. Prediction: Square denies this is true on Monday, then announces it on Wednesday.
What this means is it leaves a door open for previous Final Fantasy games to be remastered in stunning HD but only if the FFX/X/2 collection does well in sales. Now take it as you will but this is good news, especially for Final Fantasy fans and leaves more hope alive for ps1 Final Fantasy classics to the light of day.
UPDATE: Final Fantasy Composers Tease FFXII 'Remake'
At a Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert in Pittsburgh on Saturday, music composer Arnie Roth at random proclaimed that yes, Final Fantasy Xii is receiving a remake, much to the surprise of fans'. Hitoshi Sakimoto, who scored FFXII, was also present.
If this is real, it isn't exactly surprising as FFXII is the only Final Fantasy in the series which you can’t play on modern consoles but it’s still great news for anyone who lost their chance to play the original or simply wants to replay the adventures of Vaan and party. (Interesting fact: Final Fantasy XII initially released just two months before Final Fantasy Versus XIII (now FFXV) was announced.)
Let's not jump our guns just yet though as Roth could be inaccurate or misinformed but he sure does sound positive about it via ia Final Fantasy Network. It’s very strange for a composer to be making random announcements in this fashion, so there’s reason to be weary, but RPG fans didn't need a crystal ball to see that a FFXII remake would be on the horizon after the prosperity of Final Fantasy X HD remaster on PS3,
