An unofficially-prompted and AI-generated Final Fantasy 6 remake recently caught the attention of Hironobu Sakaguchi, genre icon and series grandfather, who has now responded to the inevitable backlash from fans.
Final Fantasy 6 is one of the most iconic entries in a series full of iconic entries, so it's no surprise that what looked like a 3D fan-made remake of the game (until you spot the Gen AI mannerisms) went as viral as a regional flu on social media, even reaching original series mastermind Hironobu Sakaguchi, who was pretty wowed by the mock-up.
