Square Enix’s Yoshinori Kitase; Would like to remake Final Fantasy V | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Square Enix’s Yoshinori Kitase; Would like to remake Final Fantasy V](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/square-enixs-yoshinori-kitase-would-like-to-remake-final-fantasy-v.jpg "Square Enix’s Yoshinori Kitase; Would like to remake Final Fantasy V")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/square-enixs-yoshinori-kitase-would-like-to-remake-final-fantasy-v.jpg)Square Enix, soon has two big remakes coming out, namely Final Fantasy VII: Remake and Trials of Mana. This has got many fans of the company wondering what other titles could be remade by Square Enix in the future.

During a recent interview with **Game Reactor**, veteran producer Yoshinori Kitase – who has just wrapped up work on the Final Fantasy VII: Remake – was asked what game he would like remake next. To which he responded:

> Ok, so first of all, you have to promise you’re not going to write an article saying Square Enix is remaking Final Fantasy something, something… It’s just a purely personal opinion, just so you understand that. With that caveat in place, the first Final Fantasy that I worked on myself was Final Fantasy V, that hasn’t been remade with the more realistic kind of approach yet, so I think it might be quite interesting to do a FF5 remake someday.

## [](#his-personal-opinion)His personal opinion

Just to reiterate Yoshinori-san’s point, this is an entirely personal opinion of his, and it does not reflect any plans Square Enix has for the foreseeable future.

Modernizing and re-imagining the pixel-era Final Fantasy titles really has huge potential. The upcoming Final Fantasy VII: Remake, as an example of a modern remake, has so much content that is merely a single full-length entry in a planned multi-title series that spans across the entire FF7 saga.

With many story elements changed up to provide a unique experience for series newcomers and veterans alike. Hopefully, Yoshinori-san gets the opportunity in the future to provide the same treatment to the likes of Final Fantasy V.

### [](#about-final-fantasy-v)About Final Fantasy V

Final Fantasy V was first released by SquareSoft on the Super Famicom in 1992. Kitase was credited as a writer. Later in 2006, it got ported across to the Game Boy Advance as Final Fantasy V Advance. Perhaps Final Fantasy V: Remake could find itself on Nintendo’s consoles once more? Only time will tell.
