Quick Answer: Future remakes for FF6, FF8, and FF9 are unlikely soon, as Yoshi-P warned their vast scale would require 4–5 individual installments.

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is one of the most ambitious projects Square Enix has taken on, with the series trilogy spanning three distinct entries.

The very first game, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, was released in 2020. This was then followed by Rebirth in 2024 and will conclude with Revelation in 2007. That's seven long years of waiting for fans who want to complete the trilogy, and a lot of work for the team over at Square Enix.

This has caused many to question if a remake for other Final Fantasy games is possible, and now, Yoshi-P, the director and producer of the Final Fantasy series, has weighed in on the discussion.

Yoshi-P Discusses Possible Final Fantasy 6/8/9 Remakes

During a Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival in Berlin, director and producer Naoki Yoshia (also known as Yoshi-P) spoke about the possibility of a Final Fantasy 6, 8, and 9 remake.

He claimed that if they were to ever remake these three games, they'd likely have to release them in 4 or 5 installments due to how large the games are.

He told the crowd, "Of course I understand the feelings of the players, but you gotta think about it. Look at Final Fantasy 6; it’s such an incredibly huge game. The scale is just immense."

Yoshi-P added, "And the same applies for other titles like Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9. So of course now, because you are working on the Final Fantasy VII series. I do get that people would be asking for Remakes of other titles. But if we did remake those other titles, we’d probably have to release them in 4 installments or even 5 installments."

While Yoshi-P didn't rule out additional remakes entirely, they seem unlikely to arrive anytime soon given how complex development would be. They would potentially take even longer than Final Fantasy 7's remake trilogy, but then again, fans of the franchise are already used to long waits!
