On Twitter, Yasumi Matsuno stated that there no plans at the moment to remaster Final Fantasy Tactics. He added that if fans have a request for a specific game or remaster, they’d have to directly contact Square Enix instead of the developers.
The exchange took place on November 28, 2023, when a user made some quality-of-life requests for a possible Final Fantasy Tactics remaster. However, Matsuno replied that there are no plans at Square Enix to remaster that game. Matsuno added that it’s up to the user (as well as other users who may have seen the exchange) whether they believe Matsuno or not. It should be noted that in February 2023, some fans thought that there would be a remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics on the way due to an interview about Theatrhythm Final Bar Line.
Yasumi Matsuno is a video game designer and writer who worked at Square Enix since when it was only known as Square. He worked at Level-5 after leaving Square Enix and founded Algebra Factory in 2016, years after leaving Level-5. Some of the games that Matsuno worked on over the course of his career include the Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers “Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr” scenario, Final Fantasy XII, and Tactics Ogre.
Final Fantasy Tactics originally came out in 1997 for the PlayStation, and the English version came out in 1998. So far, it seems Square Enix does not plan on remastering it.
