Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier has confirmed that a Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is indeed in development. This confirmation comes after speculation surrounding the credibility of frequent Atlus news leaker Midori, who recently admitted to adopting an online persona.
The news of the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster has been received with excitement by fans eagerly anticipating its release. While details on the remake are scarce, this announcement brings hope for a new iteration of the beloved tactical RPG.
What do you think about the prospect of a Final Fantasy Tactics remaster? Are there any changes or features you'd like to see in the remake?
Mostly newsworthy because Matsuno said last year there were no plans for it. The bigger news for me is Schreier saying down-thread that Naoki Yoshida's team is on the project. I was concerned Asano's might be, and I don't want him anywhere near this.
I'd be deliriously happy with the Tactics Ogre Reborn treatment. A similarly arranged, orchestrated soundtrack is my #1 ask; I think this is still Sakimoto and Iwata's best work, and the PSX audio doesn't do the compositions justice. Additional animated cutscenes and additional dungeons/sidequests are probably not happening, but like in Reborn, high-quality voice overs and something small to mix up the gameplay or tweak the difficulty would be nice.
