A fan-made AI video that recreates scenes from Final Fantasy VI in realistic 3D has drawn a strong reaction from the game's original creators. The video, shared on social media, shows classic moments from the 1994 role-playing game rendered with modern graphics technology.
Sakaguchi praises AI video
Series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi responded enthusiastically on X, writing: "What is this!? That's amazing!" However, combat designer Akitoshi Kawazu pushed back against the AI remake, replying: "No, Sakaguchi-san, please stop at the first line." It is unclear whether Sakaguchi realized the footage was AI-generated rather than a fan-made render.
Square Enix has not announced an official remake of Final Fantasy VI. The fan project highlights ongoing interest in the classic title, but the mixed reactions from its original developers underscore the divisive nature of AI-generated content in gaming.
The video was originally shared by a user on X and later reported by Wccftech. Square Enix has not commented on the fan creation or any plans for an official remake.
