Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake producer Masaaki Hayasaka would love to see a similar remake for Final Fantasy 6 , though there are no "concrete plans". Speaking to Inverse , Hayasaka discussed the popularity of the HD-2D visual style and whether he'd like to see any other games be remade in this way. "It’s not that we have concrete plans for this, but personally I would have to say Final Fantasy 6," he said.
" Octopath Traveler - the first HD-2D title - was developed while referencing FF 6, 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." He continued: "Because this art style itself was created while referencing such titles, it’s highly compatible with games originally made using pixel art.
This compatibility is probably why people feel this style is a match made in heaven with these types of remakes." Final Fantasy 6 would certainly be a popular choice for a remake in this style, alongside the iconic Chrono Trigger . In fact, last year an artist created a HD-2D concept of Chrono Trigger that proved popular on social media.
Final Fantasy 6 is already available on modern platforms as part of the Pixel Remaster collection. Hayasaka also discussed some of the difficulties of remaking classics in HD-2D, comparing the first teaser for Dragon Quest 3 released three years ago to the final product released last week. "I’m sure you will find everything to be different, from the map size to the characters�.
