It turns out, it's an even better year to be a Final Fantasy fan than expected. Just mere hours after rumors of a Final Fantasy 9 Remake came out along with the possibility that we'll see more of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth at the Summer Game Fest on June 8, one of the brains behind Final Fantasy Tactics ignited talks that a remaster of the classic game is coming.
Final Fantasy Tactics was originally released over two decades ago on the original PlayStation. It's since received multiple sequels and spin-offs but the original game remains the pinnacle of the series and is relatively unmatched in its genre. Its writer and director, Yasumi Matsuno, is already off working with a different studio on a spiritual successor but it appears Square Enix might have tapped him to either supervise or help out with the remaster Final Fantasy Tactics.
In an intriguing Twitter exchange, Matsuno responded to a fan query regarding a possible Final Fantasy Tactics remaster, saying: If we remaster it, what do you think about whether it is better to weaken " The Thunder God Cid", who was accused of destroying the balance ? And, just like that, the rumor floodgates have opened.
Matsuno's playful question fanned the flames of speculation, making fans clamor for more Final Fantasy Tactics content a lot more than before. Although it's not a direct confirmation, it's enough of a tease for a lot of series fans to take notice.
