In an interview with Naoki Hamaguchi the game director of the Final Fantasy 7 remake, was asked which classic from the Final Fantasy series he would like to bring back. He chose an RPG hit from the SNES era.

The desire for the return of a SNES classic​

If Square Enix granted him the time and resources Hamaguchi would gladly help Final Fantasy 6 to make a comeback in a modern guise. Like many players the game director considers the classic role-playing game originally released for the Super Nintendo in 1994 his favorite of the Final Fantasy series.

Hamaguchi said: "If I had all the time and unlimited resources it would be really cool to remake Final Fantasy 6. It's my favorite title in the main series."

Hamaguchi isn't the only creative mind at Square Enix who has advocated for a remake or return of Final Fantasy 6 in the past. Masaaki Hayasaka the producer of the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is also expressed interest in the classic last fall. According to Hayasaka the HD 2D style would in principle be perfect for a remake of “Final Fantasy 6.”

Rumors of another remake persist​

In the past several insiders reported on a possible remake of Final Fantasy 9. Speculation that Square Enix has repeatedly fueled in recent months for example by sharing cryptic hints on social media. An official confirmation of a Final Fantasy 9 remake is still pending.
 
Final Fantasy 6 is the best game in the franchise, with Final Fantasy 7 taking second place, and FF X a very close third place. I don't know how to feel about a remake though. The FF 7 remake has...issues.
 
If Hamaguchi really believes that then perhaps I should give a chance to FF7 remake because it will make me assume he wanted to make FF7 more like FF6, not copy paste way but trying to improve the game by using elements from the game he loves, but probably was dragged down by corporate BS to actually develop FF7 in the way in his mind. Yet it means FF7 remake can have potential to be a game I may like because its director is a guy who loves FF6 as I do.
 
I think 6 could do really well with a remake. Its particularly relevant with Magitek being a great parallel to fossil fuels. I really think it would be an apros pos choice for Square Enix. I'd prefer 3D models instead of doing the 2D-3D effect ala Star Ocean 2nd Story R & Dragon Quest 3.
 
FF6 has a great story!
And they will be butchering it in the remake, for sure.
They will butcher it with slop like the did with FF14 and then they will split the game in to 6 part and sell each part for 80 bucks each so you will end up paying 480 bucks for a complete game.

Thanks to FF7 remake selling so well Square has learned that they can make billions on selling 1 game buy splitting in to several parts and they know they can get away with it because they god stupid fans defending it saying each game is like a standalone game hurr durr.

I say I did like FF16 but at least it was not split in to 3 parts nor was it destroyed with slop.
