Final Fantasy 9 Remake update unites players

Final Fantasy 9 is easily the Final Fantasy game that receives the most requests for a remake outside FF7 and maybe FF8. Fans wanted him to get the same treatment as Cloud and company. I received in 2020 and, for a while, I felt like that was possible. Square Enix has no qualms about remaking or remastering its library of incredible JRPGs, so it seemed like a no-brainer that the studio would eventually get around to remaking at least some of its final fantasy games, being the most important FF9.

Unfortunately, it seems as if Final Fantasy 9 official returnwhich fans believed would arrive any day now, may have been put on temporary, if not permanent, hiatus. It is gloomy news, which moves the project further and further away from reality. Fans apparently realized this and started rallying around each other, reacting to the existence or lack of the remake, and simply trying to piece it all together while supporting each other.

For context, at one point it seemed that a Final Fantasy 9 The new version was in process. In 2021, a disastrous NVIDIA leak revealed a handful of projects in production, chief among them FF9. Several of the projects revealed in the leaked documents ended up being real, so many assumed the same would happen with this one. Final Fantasy 9 redo. It wouldn’t be so surprising to see a mark…new FF9 projectespecially since Square Enix has a penchant for revisiting old IPs.

However, recently, the reliable NatetheHate has said that he believes that the FF9 remake to be on iceat least according to his sources, and that we shouldn’t expect to see him anytime soon. It could be that the perceived failure of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth It affected Square Enix’s chances of investing so much in another remake of an older title, or it could simply be that the studio lost interest or faith in the project. Anyway, it seems that a FF9 the new version is not coming soon, and a recent reddit The publication seems to confirm it.

Fans of FF9 and those simply excited about a possible remake have been lamenting the loss of this supposed project, with user Nightwing24yuna (and many others) believing that “would have really benefited from a remake“most. The mood is frankly a little harsh among these fans, and user Deepthroat confesses that they’ve already done it”hope lost,” while Redditor ShyguyFlyguy simply stated: “It’s not happening“.

Of course, some users questioned the validity of the initial rumors, while others hoped it would eventually happen, with user Remote_Elevator_281 joking: “maybe in 30 years we will have the remake hahaha.“However, it seems like it will never happen, especially since even its core fans who would like to see a project like this come to life are feeling despondent and desperate. There is still a chance that we will see a Final Fantasy 9 eventually a remake, but, for now, fans should perhaps stop hoping and instead come together to support each other and mourn what could have been.
