Final Fantasy Tactics fans have reason to raise an eyebrow this week, as renewed activity from some of its original creators has sparked fresh speculation about a remake. Though nothing is official, there’s enough movement to keep long-time strategy RPG players watching closely—especially ahead of Sony’s next showcase.
A Quiet Signal from the Director

Yasumi Matsuno, director of the original Final Fantasy Tactics, briefly posted the announcement of Sony’s upcoming State of Play broadcast to his social media—only to delete it shortly after. It’s a subtle move, but one that fans didn’t miss. He’s not the only Square Enix figure to hint at the show, raising expectations for some kind of reveal.
Why This Matters for Switch Fans
Square Enix has recently committed to multiplatform releases as part of their evolving development strategy. If Final Fantasy Tactics Remake is real—and if it’s revealed soon—there’s a real chance it could arrive on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, not just PlayStation and PC.
Not Just a Rumor
This isn’t the first time the remake has been whispered about. Insider Midori mentioned the game was still in development earlier this year, and Square Enix designer Yoshi-P has publicly expressed his desire to see both Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics return. While nothing is confirmed yet, the pieces are starting to align.
Final Thoughts
With the PlayStation State of Play airing tomorrow at 14:00 PT / 23:00 CEST, all eyes will be on Square Enix. Whether we’ll see the long-rumored remake or just more breadcrumbs, fans of tactical RPGs have good reason to keep tabs on the broadcast. And if the project is truly multiplatform, Nintendo fans may not have to wait long to rejoin the Ivalice conflict on new hardware.
