Last Saturday during the Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy concert in Pittsburgh it was mentioned by Arnie Roth, conductor, that a remake of Final Fantasy XII is currently in development. Today he has posted a statement on the website and Facebook page of Distant Worlds saying that the term remake was used "in error".
Dear friends,
In response to comments posted by fans, I want to rectify a statement made from the stage Saturday night at our Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY concert in Pittsburgh.
Following conversations with composer Hitoshi Sakimoto regarding new concert arrangements of music from FINAL FANTASY XII, regrettably, the term ‘remake’ was used in error during one of the announcements that took place from the stage during the concert.
We sincerely regret any confusion this has caused.
Arnie Roth
Producer and Music Director
Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY
This makes it clear that Final Fantasy XII will likely receive the same treatment as Final Fantasy X / X-2 (HD Remaster). Maybe Square Enix will reveal something at Gamescom taking place in a few days?
