So how about those FF9 Remake rumors?

[Emerald Lance]

How does everybody feel about these rumors about FF9 getting a remake? I loved that game, but I always assumed this Remake series to just be a one-off thing for the classic darling. Not that I haven't been enjoying this game, just I assumed it was getting special treatment.

Does anybody think there's any weight to these rumors? I'm curious to read the room.

i feel like they're rumors

No. I love IX, but if they did that we would not see a new FF at all until Summer 2040. This Remake project is the last time that they need to be remaking a mainline. It will kill the franchise bc it takes way too long to develop and CBU1/CS1 needs to be available to do new mainline titles. CBU3/CS3 had to do XVI bc CS1 was too tied up on Rebirth and Part 3 and Dawntrail suffered in quality because of that.

This VII remake project started development in 2015 and it is still not done.

Doing this again with even larger mainlines will kill the entire franchise.

not that I dislike what they're doing with 7 atm, but man has a point, stuff like this isn't sustainable lol

I wonder what it would have been like if they managed a single remake instead of the trilogy.

I love 9,, but im skeptical that they won't try to split it up or add some fan fic BS into it. So I'm hoping just rumors. Nor am I entirely interested in seeing what gawd awful mini game this team turns the sword-fight/play at the beginning into. same with the choco digging

Jump rope hard mode 🙏 pls do it, squenix

Hopefully just rumors and they don’t touch that title for a remake version.

They will never make a remake of FF9 worth doing. FF9 is already a masterpiece.
If anything FF8 would be much better choice as it has much more to gain from enhancing exploration, etc.. But please do scene combat with random encounters.

If it's a 1 for 1 remake with some quality of life updates I'm all for it. (Like the recent Super Mario RPG remake on Switch. Which was perfect)

I still want that for FF7 as well.

Just if they keep it 100% equal to the original like RS2R did. 7 and 7R are not even close.
But if 9, then 100% like the first game + complete game instead of 3 parts.

I would love it if they just remade it turn based with no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ minigames

[FiReWaTeR🔥💧]

it would be this game with new models and a renamed chadley, so i hope they dont.

[Revolt]

TBH, those rumors are nothing more then rumors :)
But I do think that if we're going to see a REMAKE, I would like for them to keep it 1:1 or slight changes with QoL improvements instead of doing it the FF7 way.

[This PC]

a 1:1 remake wouldn't work commercially in modern climate, same can be said of ff7, no matter how much you want it, remaster might happen though.

been waiting on an 8 remake for too long
