Nomura wants more Final Fantasy remakes — but not from the PlayStation era

LOS ANGELES — Final Fantasy fans were ecstatic to see Square Enix finally reveal a remake of the seventh installment in the series.  However, it’s never too early to wonder about the future.

During a group interview session yesterday at the ongoing Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, I talked with Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura. Not only is he directing the Final Fantasy VII remake, but he’s been involved with the series since 1992’s Final Fantasy V. I asked him if he had any interest in working on remakes for the series’ other installments on the original PlayStation, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX.
