Square Discusses Possibility of Final Fantasy XIII for PS4

Square-Enix is toying with the possibility of bringing the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy to the PlayStation 4 in the future.

On the latest Game Watch interview, Square’s Shinji Hashimoto discussed bringing Final Fantasy XIII to current-gen consoles similar to Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X.

“The collection hasn’t been under consideration yet, but if we wanted to bring the Final Fantasy XIII saga to PlayStation 4, we would need to recruit a new team to do that.” says Hashimoto. “The size of the original Final Fantasy XIII team has been reduced due to developers moving to work on Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy XIV. That’s why we would need to hire developers to do it – maybe it would be a good option to be helped by some external studios in the same fashion as with Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster.”

Currently, Square-Enix is bringing Final Fantasy XIII, XII-2, and Lighting Returns to Steam and its streaming service Divein.
