Final Fantasy 13 Remake Teased By Square Enix

Expert Verified By

Final Fantasy 13 Could Be Next Remake Trilogy!

Story Highlight
  • Square Enix has already remade various Final Fantasy entries.
  • The studio now seems to be teasing a remake of Final Fantasy 13.
  • Previous evidence has already pointed to a Final Fantasy 13 re-release, making this teaser quite exciting.

Final Fantasy is one of the biggest franchises in the gaming industry, but the series has not been the most successful lately. While the last two entries have been extremely well received in terms of critical reception, the commercial reception has left a lot to be desired.

However, Final Fantasy still has plenty of potential. As Square Enix continues to plan the third remake in the Final Fantasy 7 trilogy, the publisher seems to be teasing a similar treatment for Final Fantasy 13.

Why it matters: Final Fantasy 13 was released nearly 15 years ago and has developed quite a fan following since then. Therefore, a remake of this entry could do wonders in the modern era.

Square Enix recently posted a tweet asking fans about their hottest and most unpopular opinions on the series. The developer said its Moogle stance was a hot take, and it still stands by it.

To this, alex_moukala said that before any other Final Fantasy title gets a remake, Final Fantasy 13 needs a remaster. Square Enix replied with an interesting statement that immediately piqued fan interest.

Any reason for a remaster instead of remake?

Square Enix has already worked on various Final Fantasy remakes, so this teaser has some weight behind it. Also, it is important to note that Final Fantasy 13 re-releases were previously reported to be in the works.

Therefore, the studio could now be aiming for a complete remake. Fans are convinced that there’s more than meets the eye to Square Enix’s statement since this particular entry is still missing from PlayStation’s consoles.

Final Fantasy 13 sold over 7 million copies, making it quite the success story for such a divisive release.

Remaking the entry would also give Square Enix an opportunity to iron out many of the controversial elements. Since the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is practically rebuilt from the ground up, similar treatment could redeem Final Fantasy 13 in the public’s eye.

Currently, the team behind Final Fantasy 16 is working on two unannounced projects. A sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is also in the works, but not much else is officially known about future plans.

However, fans are now excited to hear more on this recently teased remake. Perhaps the Final Fantasy 13 trilogy will be up next to receive the full remake treatment.
