Naoki Yoshida, the long-time Ultimate Fantasy franchise director and producer, who’s most notably the director of Ultimate Fantasy XIV and a producer on Ultimate Fantasy XVI, has shared at a current occasion that to provide Ultimate Fantasy VI a remake challenge much like VII, would require way more video games than a easy trilogy because of the massive scope of the basic recreation.
The occasion (through Push Sq.) was at Ultimate Fantasy XIV Fan Fest in Berlin, and Yoshida shared that with the Ultimate Fantasy VII Remake trilogy coming to an finish, followers understandably are hoping for its predecessor to be subsequent up on the remake practice, but it surely is probably not that straightforward.
When information broke that Sq. Enix was remaking Ultimate Fantasy VII, it was revealed to take a whole trilogy to inform the occasions of the story, which was largely unprecedented to require a couple of recreation, proving how content material wealthy the unique actually is. Yoshida believes that primarily based on how wealthy and deep the lore of the sixth recreation is, as much as 5 video games might be vital to inform the entire story.
Lately, recreation director of the Ultimate Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, Naoki Hamaguchi, shared that after the trilogy is full, he might step down from being accountable for remakes and move the torch for an additional creator to helm what Sq. Enix has deliberate subsequent. So, it’s doubtless that Hamaguchi doesn’t take part within the subsequent remakes that occur within the sequence.
The Fan Fest in Berlin has been stuffed with main bulletins, as proper across the similar time, Yoshida and Hamaguchi shared a crossover challenge between Ultimate Fantasy VII and XIV. So, the franchise could be very alive for the time being.
The unique Ultimate Fantasy VI recreation launched means again in 1994 on the SNES. It’s by far the obvious alternative for the following remakes within the sequence, however Sq. Enix must determine that if Yoshida is right together with his assumption of a 4-5 recreation saga, if the sport is just too massive for the remake remedy.
Ultimate Fantasy VII Revelation arrives subsequent spring and after that, Sq. Enix has some choices to make on the way forward for the franchise, and which remakes they’d like to try subsequent. They definitely hit the jackpot with VII Remake, however time will inform if Ultimate Fantasy VI proves too massive in scope to correctly adapt.
