Final Fantasy: A surprise announcement has reportedly been leaked, and it's not what you think

Final Fantasy: A surprise announcement has reportedly been leaked, and it's not what you think

There seems to be a lot of activity around the Final Fantasy franchise at the moment. Several rumors are suggesting potential news that would please millions of fans. An announcement from Square Enix is imminent. But if it's confirmed, it should take many by surprise.

A Final Fantasy remaster finally confirmed soon?

It was a simple repost that started the fireworks. That of Yasumi Matsuno, a renowned creator and producer in the industry, who first made a name for himself with Conquest of the Crystal Palace, then Ogre Battle. But it was by contributing to the Final Fantasy saga that his aura really grew.

Before contributing to FF13, he brought to life a brand new license at the heart of the franchise: Final Fantasy Tactics. However, rumors of a remaster have been circulating for a while. So, when he reposted the State of Play announcement, it didn't take much to see it as a sign for many. Could we be entitled to an announcement this evening?

That's not much to cling to, you might say. But what gives us hope is rather an alignment of the stars. In addition to this repost — since deleted, as a half-hearted confession — several personalities also mentioned Final Fantasy Tactics just yesterday on social media.

On the one hand, we have journalist Jason Schreier who declares, without context, that "Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the best games ever made." In the process, he picks up with a single word, "remaster" someone in the comments who says they hope for a "remake".

Finally, last night, it was insider eXtas1s who spoke more openly. Point blank, he stated that the rumors surrounding the ongoing development of Final Fantasy Tactics would be "true". He continues, explaining that "clues from Square[Enix, editor's note] indicate to us that it will be presented at the State of Play." He concludes straightforwardly that the alleged remaster would be "planned for the end of the year" on Xbox and, at the same time or later, on PS5 and the first Nintendo Switch.

The Final Fantasy Tactics case has been a matter of some concern for a while. This may not be the imminent announcement some are expecting, given the much-anticipated Xbox port of FF7 Remake, which many have been calling for. However, many fans of the series would be thrilled if this remaster actually happens. Everything could be confirmed this evening, during the State of Play at 11 p.m.
