Rumors regarding a Final Fantasy X remake being in development are false, while those regarding a Final Fantasy IX remake are true.
Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida has responded to speculation regarding his involvement with the rumored Final Fantasy IX remake.
had stated that the rumored Final Fantasy IX remake is real and that it will retain the classic turn-based combat seen in the original.
I hope this is true, that's what I want from a remake. FF7R is actually really good, but not what I was looking for from the remake.
FF7R deviated too much from the original for me, so I hope the FF9 remake is closer to the original game.
I didn't think so, I actually really liked the way they fleshed out the story more. I enjoyed it more than the original.
I can't wait for it to be revealed and I am hoping it will not be episodic or simply a remaster.
Yes make one complete game with AAA game development taking 3-5 years for each game if it's another trilogy than we will be waiting a decade plua just for the complete edition
One game which should be done with all the content and add improvements where necessary
You’re dreaming if you think these old pre-rendered background FF games can be remade in a fully 3D open world in 3-5 years with all the mini games.
I hope they keep the original art style instead of going for the hyperrealistic look like they did with FF7R, it would ruin the charm of the game otherwise.
Ffs can you focus on the goddamn mmo you leech.
The healers are going on strike cause you gave them a ONE BUTTON dps rotation. They have often nothing to heal.
You keep ignoring player feedback if it isnt jpn.
Stop taking our sub money and funding everything else but the mmo
Pisses me off how badly they screwed over ff8. That game deserves a proper remake. It was the first fully 3d final fantasy game.
FFVIII is not fully 3d, and in what way do you mean it was before FFVII in the "3d verse"?
First "fully" 3d Final Fantasy was FFXI, even thou FFX was close.
FFVII to FFX uses pre rendered backgrounds (still images). In FFVII - FFIX, only worldmap was fully "3d".
Development of the Final Fantasy IX remake was originally outsourced, and Square Enix will allegedly reveal titles at the Xbox Showcase.
i think a reveal at summer game fest would make a bigger impact.
but we'll see what happens this week
I’ll be watching! I hope it’s worth it.
One of my favorite FF to date. Back to the origins that made the series so great!
This would be a crazy title to launch with Xbox handheld. Steam Deck doesn't support Game Pass downloads so that will be the big selling point if this game could actually be download and play on the go and not cloud streaming.
However its all rumors right now and Ill believe when I see it.
Uhhhh it’ll be available on Steam most likely. Its not like it will be exclusive to Xbox.
Or people could just, you know, buy one of the numerous other handheld PC that already existed..
So they tried to outsource FFVII's Remake initially, wern't happy with it and took full control restarting development.
Now they tried to do exactly the same thing...
Square Enix and the way they run a business baffles me completely.
Also why at an Xbox focused event when the franchise, especially IX which released on the PS1 is more PlayStation related.
They have a reestablished relationship with Xbox now. I’m curious if Xbox will have forked money over to put it on Gamepass. I have a feeling… and I hope I’m wrong about this, but I have a feeling this will be a humongous let down.
Crimson,
So, let me get this straight: SE spends millions of dollars to put FF on GP and is happy with the deal.
GP subscribers get the game and are happy with the deal.
PS gamers get the game as they normally would and are happy.
But you, CrimsonWing69, will be let down by this news? wtf bro? why?
@thesoftware730
First, Square doesn’t pay to put a game on Gamepass, Microsoft pays for that. Let’s be real here, Square games sell poorly on Xbox, so getting additional money that they probably wouldn’t get sales on would be a “happy deal” for them.
Second, I never said I’d be unhappy with the Gamepass deal. I will be getting this on PS5. What I meant was that this Remake might be a let down and that I hope I’m wrong about that.
That one’s on me for not clarifying.
As for Gamepass and Square, Octopath Traveler 2 is coming to GP.
I'm curious if Sony had forked money over to put (FF VII remark, FF16) on PS5 exclusively. I have a felling ....and I know I'm not wrong about this, & I have a feeling this will be a humongous let down.
@From
Da Fuq?
“ SE spends millions of dollars to put FF on GP and is happy with the deal.”
You mean Microsoft right…..
Maybe this is a rare case where a square game skips ps, like Octopath Traveller 1. That for some reason arrived on xbox but not ps.
Idk sounds like square is done with exclusives obviously unless it's Nintendo. Yep keep on keeping those dragon quest spinoffs Playstation and Xbox.
Fox,
"Also why at an Xbox focused event when the franchise, especially IX which released on the PS1 is more PlayStation related."
It could be that they would like to attempt to entice Xbox gamers to buy the game, with full knowledge that PS fans of FF will purchase it anyway.
If the rumor is true, it's just a reveal, not exclusive or anything, and they will market for PS as well.
yeh seems to ne a common theme at this point.
no wonder the money aint coming in enough.
yeh its odd. the whole thing. but alot of websites say its exclusive to ps, so i wonder what the truth is at this point.
This just reeks of incompetence to me, if I remember right, Cyber Connect was the one who worked on FF7R initially before Square-Enix scrapped their work and started again. It can't be that bad outsourcing the FF9 Remake unless they poorly choose who to make it. I have a bad feeling about this remake, if it's not bad, it'll probably be as devisive as FF7R was to the fanbase.
Remember the Nvidia leak list? A lot of those games have come into existence, so I would not be too surprised if it happened.
I was super let down by PlayStation showcase so it wont be hard for Xbox top it. However I don't expect XBOX to blow me away. I'll give Xbox credit though the build up hype for the showcase is 100% more than Sony had going into it.
It was a State of Play. They announced it the day before so no time for hype lol. I thought it was fine, 7/10. I'm sure excited for the rest of the showcases tho. SGF and Xboxs
No idea why it would be at the Xbox showcase because their audience just isn't there. No matter how many times they have tried. PS, PC and Nintendo
In 2023 Microsoft made 18 Bil vs Nintendo 12 Bil so I think there is an audience. Microsoft may be the richest company in the world, but Sony did crush at 30 Bil
Just revenue does not tell you their audience is there. FF13 sold 5x better on PS3 vs 360, 8x better on PS4 than Xbone. Their audience just isn't there on Xbox. Never has been. PS and PC are their audience for sure. Just because folks are subbed to Gamepass doesn't mean anything, hence why Xbox has the lowest game sales of the Big 3.
Not sure which ass you pulled those numbers from. Sony as an entire company had a profit of about 6.5 billion last year, with Playstation responsible for ~2 of that. Microsoft as a company profited about 88 billion. Nintendo did a little over 5.
Yeah, I guess some Japanese developers forget their stuff don't sell on Xbox. or Phil has been doing stuff in the background. Reminds me of when Microsoft paid SEGA to put Yakuza and Phantasy Star Online 2 on Xbox and it was like a puff of smoke, no impact and hardly anyone played it.
Why would they skip VIII with a chance to improve it? All hearsay.
X getting a remake would be pretty cool actually. The original does have a lot of grand scale stuff which definitely wasn't possible on the ps2 so you could really tell it's outdated if you were to replay it.
And boy oh boy...a modern take on blitzball...
Square would unfortunately rid of the turn based though lol.
6 DESERVE A REMAKE
Memoria project on YouTube. That is literally what you need to do for FF9. It's beautiful
Final Fantasy 6, and 8 deserves a remake.
Square should also bring back Parasite Eve as well.
