Famitsu recently conducted an interview with Square-Enix's Yoshinori Kitase about the upcoming Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. Check out some tidbits from the interview below.

- the devs heard the strong demand for Final Fantasy VIII to return
- Harada, who is responsible for the battle program, and character modeler Ogino, are both involved
- Tetsuya Nomura is also involved as well
- it seems the plan at first was to do a simple port, but then the team started updating the character models
- Chocobo World items will be gained through Angelo Search
- The goal with VIII was to break away from conventional RPG's in terms of game system
