Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the latest in a string of HD-2D RPGs that bring a modern, high-resolution twist to nostalgic pixel-art graphics. Fans have long thought Final Fantasy VI, the last game in the venerated series before it switched to polygons,

The producer of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake wants to see Final Fantasy VI get the same treatment at some point.

Square Enix seems intent on making the most out of their HD-2D engine, with the heads of its biggest projects already dreaming about what could come next.

The long-awaited remake of Dragon Quest 3 finally released last week to largely positive reviews, with the bulk of the praise going to the beautifully redrawn pixel art that Square Enix popularized with Octopath Traveler and which is now the studio's go-to style when making sprite-based games.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake just launched last week, while the first two games in the RPG franchise will get the same treatment next year. Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii believes playing the Erdrick trilogy from 3 to 1 to 2 will be fun for players.

While Square Enix is remaking Final Fantasy 7 with a full trilogy, recent leaks have pointed to the existence of a Final Fantasy 9 remake. There hasn't been any mention of an FF6 remake in the leaked databases of either the Epic Games Store or Nvidia. If it exists, it's a very secretive project.

Speaking to Inverse recently about Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, the game's producer Masaaki Hayasaka said he would "love" to see Final Fantasy VI make a return, as it was actually a reference point while developing Octopath Traveler (Square's first HD-2D title).

Masaaki Hayasaka argues that it would translate incredibly well considering that it was the major influence behind the HD-2D style.
