Legendary Final Fantasy mastermind Hironobu Sakaguchi has revealed during an interview with The Verge that he is keen to make his next game a ‘successor to the much-loved Final Fantasy VI in a good way.’
While he originally envisioned Fantasian Neo Dimension as his final project, he decided to work on a new project with the same team behind that title.
I was thinking of making Fantasian Neo Dimension my final work, but the fantastic team that was assembled to complete this project was so enjoyable to work with that I found it hard to part ways. Humans are greedy creatures, aren’t we? For that reason, I’m currently working on a new project with the same team that worked on Fantasian Neo Dimension. It’s generally going to follow a similar style to my previous works, and it’ll be something that can be a successor to Final Fantasy VI in a good way — our goal is to create something old but new at the same time. It’ll be part two of my farewell note.

This isn’t the first time that Sakaguchi-san has touched base on his new project, as back in September 2024 he told Famitsu that he was enjoying the experience of developing games after deciding not to retire.
