[GameSpot] - Fan Channel Creates Final Fantasy 6 Tactics Mod

[343iBot]

Imagine a game with Final Fantasy Tactics as its skeleton and Final Fantasy 6 as its skin. As spotted by RPGFan, a YouTube channel titled Connor & Chelsea Dunn teased a mod that turns Final Fantasy 6 into a Final Fantasy Tactics game. Connor & Chelsea Dunn's video showcases new stages, sprites, and skills among other changes.

The Final Fantasy 6 Tactics mod now has two videos dedicated to it on the channel, one of which just came out last week and another that came out two months prior. Connor & Chelsea Dunn's channel also showcases many other videos related to Final Fantasy Tactics modding, so it makes sense that the creator finally decided to use their skills to merge it with another Final Fantasy game.

In both video descriptions, Connor & Chelsea Dunn notes that many of the sprites were created by other collaborators and they will properly credit the creators when they update their post. Also, a significant amount of the map work was done by a level designer called ArmoredKori.

It's unclear when exactly Connor & Chelsea Dunn's Final Fantasy 6 mod will be finished or what platforms it will be available for. However, the fact that such a mod exists at least gives fans an idea for what it would be like to experience a more modern version of an older Final Fantasy spinoff. Square Enix did release Tactics: Ogre Reborn, the spiritual predecessor of Final Fantasy Tactics, so perhaps a remake of the original FFT isn't such a farfetched idea.
