Overview
- A fan on X posted an AI-made Final Fantasy VI remake concept on May 16, and the two-minute reel quickly spread online.
- Hironobu Sakaguchi first shared the video with "What is this? It's amazing!", which drew sharp replies from fans and peers.
- SaGa creator Akitoshi Kawazu told him to "please stop after the first line" and said FF6 would suit a full 3D remake.
- On Tuesday, Sakaguchi said his reaction was instinctive and that the tech would not work as-is, though he sees potential for ideas down the line.
- Viewers praised the nostalgia but flagged AI telltales such as warped faces, stiff movement, and mismatched textures, and outlets note Square Enix has not announced any FF6 remake even as interest rises with the FF7 project nearing its finale.
