It's only been a week since Final Fantasy IV: The After Years appeared on the App Store, but it seems that Square Enix is keen to generate buzz for its next iOS port.

You see, Squeenix is bringing its '90s RPG classic Final Fantasy VI to iOS this winter, complete with snazzy new visuals.

To whet our appetites for the 'remake' (which we reported on back in October), the developer has released some screenshots of the new visually enhanced mobile version. Siliconera has posted these new images alongside comparison shots from the original SNES version:

According to Square Enix producer and director Takashi Tokita, the iOS remake of Final Fantasy VI will be something of a re-imagining of the classic JRPG, featuring an overhauled battle system and less "grinding".

As soon as we have a concrete release date, we'll let you know.
