Masaaki Hayasaka, the producer on Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, has revealed during an interview with Inverse that he’d like to see Final Fantasy VI given a HD-2D makeover.
Hayasaka said that while there’s no concrete plans to develop a Final Fantasy VI HD-2D Remake, it’s his game of choice when it comes to the one title he’d like to see given such a makeover.
It’s not that we have concrete plans for this, but personally I would have to say Final Fantasy VI. Octopath Traveler—the first HD-2D title—was developed while referencing FFVI, as it had the highest quality pixel art. I would love to see how the game we referenced would look with the HD-2D art style.

While we’re on the subject of Final Fantasy VI, it has long been a topic of a possible remake (although in what form we’re not sure; it could be along the lines of FFVII Remake), and Yoshinori Kitase himself has been pushing for a revamp of the fan favourite title. Even so, he later admitted that a FFVI Remake could take twice as long to make as FFVII, so perhaps don’t get your hopes up just yet!
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake was released for PS5, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One on November 14, 2024. You can read our full verdict on the game here.
