Square Enix's recently announced remake of Final Fantasy VII may not be the only classic entry in the series to get a major overhaul for current-gen consoles, as series director Tetsuya Nomura has expressed interest in remaking both Final Fantasy V and VI.

"Considering that we have remakes of Final Fantasy up to IV and then we have VII — I’ve been working with Mr. [Yoshinori] Kitase since Final Fantasy V, and we’ve noticed that V and VI are missing. That bothers me," Nomura told VentureBeat . "How come we skipped over those two?"Nomura also shared some new information on the Final Fantasy VII Remake , confirming that it won't just be a carbon copy of the original release with spruced up visuals.In an interview with Dengeki Online (via Gematsu ), he said it "won’t be a simple remake," noting that "even if we were only making the graphics prettier for a next-generation machine, I don’t think it would exceed the original version."Additionally, the studio plans to share more information later this year, including an announcement of the game's official title.
