20 Years To Remake? Square Enix Grapples With Final Fantasy 6's Epic Scope
Yoshinori Kitase, the director of Final Fantasy 6, has mentioned that a remake of the game, similar to Final Fantasy 7's, could potentially take around 20 years to complete.
《最終幻想6》的導演北瀨義則提到,該遊戲的重製版,類似於《最終幻想7》,可能需要大約20年才能完成。
In a translated interview shared by Twitter user Genki, Kitase, currently a vice president at Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd (OTC:SQNXF), acknowledged the desire for a Final Fantasy 6 remake but expressed doubts about its feasibility.
在推特用戶元氣分享的一次翻譯採訪中,現任史克威爾艾尼克斯控股有限公司(場外交易代碼:SQNXF)副總裁的北瀨承認希望重製最終幻想6,但對其可行性表示懷疑。
He emphasized the game's depth, with extensive content and numerous characters, stating that it would require twice the development time of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, IGN reported.
據IGN報道,他強調了該遊戲的深度,內容豐富,角色衆多,並表示開發時間將是《最終幻想7重製版》的兩倍。
Despite the interest within Square Enix to work on a Final Fantasy 6 remake, Kitase deferred consideration until Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy concludes. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second entry in the Remake Trilogy, is set to release on Feb. 29, 2024, continuing the journey of Cloud and his companions beyond Midgar.
儘管史克威爾艾尼克斯有興趣製作《最終幻想6》重製版,但北瀨將考慮推遲到最終幻想7重製三部曲結束之後。《最終幻想7重生》是重製三部曲的第二部作品,定於2024年2月29日上映,延續了克勞德和他的同伴們超越米德加的旅程。
Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, elaborated on the difficulty of remaking Final Fantasy 6 due to its original pixel art and 2D format, requiring a complete overhaul of the story and graphics.
《最終幻想》的創作者坂口宏信詳細闡述了重製最終幻想6的難度,這是由於其原始的像素藝術和2D格式,需要對故事和畫面進行全面的改進。
Notably, Sakaguchi himself expressed eagerness for the remake, asking, "Won't you release it a little sooner?"
值得注意的是,坂口本人表達了對翻拍的渴望,他問道:“你不會早點發布嗎?”
The challenges mentioned for Final Fantasy 6's remake, such as changes to the story, world, and graphics, are reminiscent of those faced by the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The latter game introduces new locations, characters, and features, showcasing Square Enix's willingness to adapt and modernize the original content.
《最終幻想6》重製版中提到的挑戰,例如故事、世界和畫面的變化,讓人想起《最終幻想7重製版》所面臨的挑戰。後一款遊戲引入了新的地點、角色和功能,展示了史克威爾艾尼克斯對原創內容進行改編和現代化的意願。
