In case you’d missed it, recently Square Enix announced plans to bring Final Fantasy VII to PS4. While you’d been able to play FF7 on PS3 and PS Vita, the digital downloads were exact ports of the classic PlayStation One game. This time around, Square Enix would be bringing a remastered version of the game to PS4 though it’s not what you’d think. Instead, the game is a port of the PC version of Final Fantasy VII which had some slightly improved visuals. Shortly after the announcement of bringing FF7 to PS4, Square Enix announced that the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD would also make its way to PS4. Final Fantasy X/X-2 was released on PS3 with remastered graphics, bringing with it much improved graphics.

If that wasn’t enough, Square wants to bring even more past Final Fantasy entries to the PS4.

According to Shinji Hashimoto, the Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts and all around Square Enix producer, other titles could come to PS4.

 won’t be limited to Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X/X-2. Other Final Fantasy titles could arrive for the PlayStation 4 as well. 

Hashimoto believes that with PS4 now being on sale in China, this gives Square a chance to bring past games to an audience that’s never been able to play them. That’s because for nearly 15 years, China has had a ban on foreign gaming consoles, including PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo.

 China is getting its first home console in years and we would like bring the long-awaited masterpieces for the Chinese players as well. PlayStation 4 is the best way to make this happen now. This would also help the console sell better in the region and worldwide. 

Still, I wouldn’t keep my hopes up about seeing Seifer or Kuja appear on PS4 anytime soon. If ports are coming to PS4, Square will likely look to bring more modern entries like Final Fantasy XII from PS2 and the much loathed Final Fantasy XIII trilogy from PS3 as they will be easier ports. Even then, Square likely will wait to see the results from Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD on PS4 before making any final decisions.
