Final Fantasy Creator Hails AI FF6 Video as SaGa Veteran Pushes Back

The exchange spotlights surging interest in a Final Fantasy VI remake alongside distrust of AI-made art.

Overview

  • Saga creator Hironobu Sakaguchi reposted a fan-made, AI-generated Final Fantasy VI concept video on X and called it amazing, drawing wide attention.
  • SaGa series creator Akitoshi Kawazu replied to Sakaguchi and told him to stop after the first line of praise, then said FF6 would suit a full 3D remake.
  • Viewers praised the concept’s ambition but flagged telltale AI flaws like warped faces, stiff or underwater-like movement, and a dull, inconsistent look.
  • The clip riffs on famous FF6 moments, including Sabin suplexing the Phantom Train and scenes from the Opera House with Celes, which helped it go viral.
  • No official remake exists, yet interest remains strong as Square Enix wraps its Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy and veteran developers float different remake styles.
