I’ve been diving deep into my Final Fantasy collection on the PS5, and I’ve noticed a huge gap: Final Fantasy XIII and its sequels aren’t available on the PS5! I have a soft spot for XIII and XIII-2, as they were the first ones I completed. This makes me wonder if there are any whispers about remastering these titles for modern consoles. Given recent remasters of older games, like Oblivion, Gex, and even the Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, could we see something similar for XIII? It feels like aside from XI, which is in a different boat, XIII is the only major title in the franchise that hasn’t gotten a second chance on newer systems. Does anyone know if there are any plans or hints regarding this?

Honestly, it’s shocking we don’t have XIII and its sequels on newer consoles yet. Every other mainline game has made the jump! I think it’ll happen eventually; they can’t just leave these games behind. It’s just weird that they haven’t touched them yet.
So far, there’s nothing credible about a remaster, but Square Enix has a history of keeping surprises under wraps. We’ve had remakes of older titles, and while IX and Tactics seem to be the hype right now, you never know what SE has planned around the corner. It’s still possible!
I’ve started repurchasing classics on sale, and honestly, XIII is one of the few I haven’t played yet. It feels like such a missed opportunity not releasing them like they did with others. I’d totally fork over the cash for it on PS5!
I’ve been asking the same question for years! Every few months, there’s a rumor or article that hints at a remaster or remake, but then it goes silent. I honestly can’t wait to replay it on my PS5 Pro—I’d pay full price without a second thought!
Exactly! Can’t understand why Square hasn’t jumped on this. Maybe they’re caught up with other projects or just holding off till the right moment.
Currently, the buzz is more around FFIX and FFT. There’s definitely a push from fans for those, but XIII’s trilogy hasn’t caught the same attention. I think it just needs a solid rerelease with maybe some upgrades, nothing too fancy.
Right? Just some minor tweaks could do wonders—I don’t want a full-on remake, just a chance to relive it on modern systems again!
True, but remember, FF XI is only on PC now, which is kinda odd. At least you can find the XIII games on Xbox!
