Article: Final Fantasy Composer Arnie Roth teases Final Fantasy XII "Remake"

Honestly, watching that video, I'm starting to think he may have made a mistake and actually meant to refer to the Final Fantasy VII Remake. He mentioned it alongside Final Fantasy XV as one of the major upcoming titles, so in context it really feels to me like that was what he thought of.

Quite possible. I feel bad for him if it was, though.

I'm going to laugh if this what he meant.

I'm going to laugh hard.

Oh god... that's way too plausible. Dreams...shattering...

Even if he was mistaken, I wonder w/ all the buzz happening this weekend over a XII remake would make Squeenix seriously consider it.

[Fynn]

Yeah, those were my thoughts exactly.

And isn't Arnie Roth a huge fan of FF himself? If that's true, I doubt he'd confuse them. And some articles also mentioned Hitoshi Sakimoro being there and saying the same thing so...

I honestly hope so!

After watching the video of the announcement I kind of figured he just got it mixed up with Final Fantasy VII's remake, but having Hitoshi Sakimoto there to confirm almost legitimizes it.

Please be real. *fingers crossed*

So it's definitely not a slip-up. the update at the bottom of the page says that during the meet and greet after the concert they confirmed it was happening, though they couldn't disclose anything else. So yeah, I doubt both of them were so excited that they wouldn't correct themselves after the concert

[Karifean]

That's great to hear. For a while there I was almost convinced it was just a mistake. Hopefully we'll get more info about it at Gamescom.

I bet SE told him to mention it in passing to build hype for Gamescom. I mean I think we were all expecting Final Fantasy XII to be announced at E3, but the FFVII remake bomb got dropped!

Don't listen to Ondore's lies.

Well that clears that up then. I'm not too fussed but sucks for the fans who really wanted this to be true.

(It just means it's an HD remaster rather than a remake. It's cool. That's exactly what we all thought.)

So the remaster is happening? I'm so confused xD

[Karifean]

Seriously, this is so smurfing vague. He could simply have been told that it's not actually a "remake" per se (because it's actually a remaster). On the other hand that would make this announcement so frustratingly misleading.

Confused, but still leaning on the "it's happening" side.
