Final Fantasy XII "remake" is coming according to Distant Worlds composer Arnie Roth

#1

Final Fantasy Distant Worlds composer Arnie Roth said at Distant World in Pittsburgh tonight that a Final Fantasy XII “remake” is on the way.

The reports come in from a number of Twitter users who attended the concert.

Roth apparently motioned to Final Fantasy XII composer Hitoshi Sakimoto upon making the announcement.

Before anyone gets excited for something on the scale of Final Fantasy VII Remake, it’s quite possible (and likely) he meant “remaster.”

Back in December, Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto hinted at more Final Fantasy re-releases for PlayStation 4 following Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster.

“Actually, not limited to just X | X-2, we’re currently thinking of setting [a way] to have other past Final Fantasy titles playable on the PS4,” Hashimoto said. “Most of our Final Fantasy assets go up until the PS3, while most of the world has rapidly been shifting towards the PS4.”

He continued, “However, this does not mean that we can simply transfer [these titles] to PS4, so as content holders, we must prepare a way to steadily have them available to play on PS4.”

I always believed.

If it includes the Zodiac Job system parts then I might pick it up.

They couldn’t wouldn’t release it without that.

Either he made a mistake or he meant something else, soundtrack related. It sounds crazy to drop a bomb just like that.

FFXII along with FFV and VII are the only main offline FF games I need to complete. A remaster would be very welcome!

Yeah. It was a mistake.

DAMN YOU, ARNIE!

Dear friends,

In response to comments posted by fans, I want to rectify a statement made from the stage Saturday night at our Distant Worlds: music from Final Fantasy concert in Pittsburgh.

Following conversations with composer Hitoshi Sakimoto regarding new concert arrangements of music from Final Fantasy XII, regrettably, the term ‘remake’ was used in error during one of the announcements that took place from the stage during the concert.

We sincerely regret any confusion this has caused.

Obviously.

To be honest, I don’t trust official replies at face value.

It might have been a mistake to call it a remake but a remaster might still be coming.

#8

It’s not coming.

#9

awwww…why you gotta be such a mood killer John.

Agreed. A remaster is probably in the cards. I’m thinking TGS announcement.
