A remake of Final Fantasy VI doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon, with Square Enix indicating that it would take a significantly long time to develop.
Yoshinori Kitase, a longtime director and producer of the series, recently participated in an interview with French YouTuber Julien Chièze. During that discussion, Kitase revealed that if Square Enix were to remake Final Fantasy VI, he believes it would take double the amount of time than the Final Fantasy VII Remake project. This is because he anticipates it being bigger and it already has so many characters in it.

It’s really a bit remarkable that, of all the long-dormant franchises Nintendo could have chosen to resurrect next, it was Another Code that they decided to give another chance. I’m totally here for it, both as a fan of narrative-driven adventure games, and as an advocate for the preservation and accessibility of older titles; I’m just surprised that it actually happened. Another Code: Recollection is a full remake of the 2005 DS game Another Code: Two Memories, as well as its Wii sequel, Another Code R: Journey into Lost Memories – the latter which never released in North America. While these puzzle-tinted mystery games have always been well-regarded by fans for their compelling premises and overall atmosphere, they never sold particularly well globally and generally received mixed reviews from critics; furthermore, the original development studio no longer exists, and both games were built around hardware features unique to their original platforms. Well, against all odds, we now have a reimagined collection of both titles sporting improved visuals and presentation, and even some narrative and gameplay changes. While I ultimately enjoyed my time getting to know the game’s charming protagonist and unraveling a moderately captivating mystery, Another Code: Recollection’s toothless writing and shallow moment-to-moment gameplay makes it a slightly niche recommendation.
Open Roads needs a little more time in the oven and has now been delayed. Annapurna Interactive says it’s now slated for March 28, 2024.
Ultimately this amounts to about a month-long delay. Previously, it was on track for February 22. But Annapurna says the extra time is necessary to “ensure the most polished experience for players.”
