Final Fantasy 9 Remake news just got BETTER 

You know that I’ll be there for a FF9 Remake, DAY 1

FF9 was the first final fantasy game I ever played and made me a huge fan of the franchise. If we truly get a remake I’m 100% sold.

Please don't skip FF8.. I love FF8

FF9's visuals were absolutely breath-taking, for their time. One of the most brilliant FF games to this day. I will be here day 1, pre-ordered if I can!

RU-vidrs in 2040 gonna be like: "Don't worry guys, it'll be announced aaaaaany day now!"

I heard TURN BASED that's all I needed to know, insta buy, insta collectors edition, insta pre-order etc.

Oh wow, i did not know this was actually gonna happen! 🥰😍❤ Thanks for sharing and brightening my day!

I personally hope that the translation is a lot more faithful and that story elements that were either left out or abandoned are implemented to help flesh out the characters even more than they already are (at least in regards to certain characters).

Reminder that the Japanese Fiscal year begins on April 1st for most companies (including Square Enix.) So the end of the current fiscal year extends all the way to April 2025.

FF9 was pretty funny. had lots of good laugh playing it.

It's so reassuring to hear that this remake is still being done. This game was a masterpiece.

where is that updated game footage from like at 6:20

Cloud’s arms look dead in that initial showing, looked like they were about to drop the buster sword at any moment.

Can't WAIT!

What is the footage of Vivi from? That cute looking game shown several times in the video?

WHEN?! For godsake this is my favo game ever, I just cannot wait anymore. Just give a sign atleast square enix.

Wath caméra's type tou went ? Like ff7 remake or original ff9 And for the fighte? Sorry for mistake i'm french 🙏

I really hope we see it release on Switch 2 along with all other platforms 🙏🏽

Amazing please at some point maybe even at the end of the game can we recruit Blank and Beatrix 🤞🏼

thank god its one part lol

Outsourcing also didn't work for the FFXI remake that did get canceled, which broke my heart

I cannot wait for this! Always loved FF9

what game is being shown at 5:58???

I just read an article online where the creator straight up said that there wasn't going to be a remake, and that these rumors were getting out of control.

Ff9 is definitely one of my favorites. I've been waiting years to play this game again. I remember playing ff9 on Playstation when it first came out a 4 disk game and I got stuck on disk 3 because disk 4 wouldn't load I was so mad lol. I can't wait to see how this game turns out and being turn based will be a Nostalgic feeling for the game. Counting the days.

Hurray!🎉

Nah, I'm all in for turn based. I'd love for it to be something like DQ11 for example. Open 3d world, with battle maps. I'd also love it if when you play Tetra Master you actually toss down a board on the ground to play. Also - and I know this is a long shot - what if the TM cards had some markings on them that gave a little bit about the personality of the person you got it from? Like you win one from a guy who's eating chocolate and it has a chocolate fingerprint on it forever. Or a little girl who likes to draw on her card, and you carry that little drawing around in your deck.

Idk why they would just skip past 8 and go to 9

Maybe it cost too much resource to come up from scratch. outsourcing and taking it back was the plan all along. Not only gives you a starting point but now you can just move things around and do what in house would like without the start up.

Things that THEY MIGHT probably add, knowing SE 1. Stagger mechanics (All SE’s new RPGs has this mechanic, even Octopath Traveller has something similar) 2. Character Swapping (hopefully) 3. Expanded Trigger commands like what FFX does. Even 7R has situations when you need to use your environment to gain advantages 4. Revamped summoning system. Hope they don’t make it like FF7R, very bad implementation. 5. Expanded Weapon and Equipment system. Also the Ability system (AP) 6. Seamless encounters 7. Team attacks / Partner system. They’ll probably expand on it like what Vivi and Steiner had. Steiner can only access certain skills when Vivi is on the party. We might have some simplified Synergy system. Excited to see something similar. 8. Crafting system 9. Trance system revamp. The most annoying thing is when Trance happens during a normal encounter and it gets wasted. Maybe resetting every encounter and has faster build up. 10. NG+ 11. New sidequests probably

Just saw this..currently playing ix before bed to relax lol

ive been keen to play this

Final fantasy IX being my favourite game ever, i can't wait to learn more. I really hope they'll make it the best possible.

The opening clip with Zidane is perfect to me. I kind of doubt the remake will look that good, but I can dream. ATB combat (my preference for FF), updated music (so it's not so midi sounding), and at least partial voice acting would be perfect. It would be cool to have some new quests and stuff, but a 1:1 remake is great.

As someone who's played every single, western released Final Fantasy game. I can honestly say that 9 is my favorite so every time I hear rumors or talks about a remake I feel like a kid in a candy shop. I don't need no, FF7 styled remake. Just give me 9 with modern visuals and I'm happy.

I feel like turn base will be a better option for the game and give the combat developers more to do and an arsenal of new moves to add and develop more into it.

I will be over the moon when we get this remake! It's honestly my favorite of the Sakaguchi Final Fantasy games. It's the most profound, beautiful, and purely "Sakaguchi" Final Fantasy game we got in the series, even to this day. I think FFIX is highly, highly overlooked. I am glad to see all of the love it has been getting in recent years.

If this remake does happen then I want Beatrix in my party! Also I want to be able to actually pilot the Hilda Garde 3! I miss the days when you could fly the airship all around the world, I really want that back.

One of my favorite games of all time. Same with the music. Plus, the sentimental aspect of it because of that time in my life. It all makes a Whirlwind of massive love. hahaha Big ups to Beatrix, you always were my favorite, you're always going to be!!!

i hope its an MMORPG open world that will be differs to game story mode.. u can customize and make ur own character and party with other player but the turn based is there and accept the game quest story..

I never got to play FF9 and never had the time to be able to despite that I bought it on iOS when it got ported there so now I’m excited to have some more free time now and can’t wait to be able to experience this remake for the first time!

What they really really need to bring back imo is fixed camera angles and backgrounds. The originals had such awesome screenplay. Fixed angles and backdrops help/force us to examine. The new games look amazing but with only user controlled camera it’s so easily missed. They should weave in more fixed areas throughout any new remake

I’m 100% down to see my boy vivi again! This is the most replayed FF game in my life, and I’ve replayed a lot of them but vivi?? Holds my heart

the moment they stopped being Final Fantasy games to me is when they took out turn base combat.

My wish for this remake: - allow players to recruit Blank, Beatrice, and Zidane’s “little sis” Mikoto - flesh out the Gaia world more; like make it open world

Can’t wait to play. 9 is in my top 3 of the series. As much as I absolutely love the 7 remakes I always imagined that a more 1:1 approach would suit ff9 more than expanding it in the same way as 7.

I want turn based and looking phenomenal. Maybe some extra content to develop the characters a bit. And yes I’ll preorder this

I just want to see an actual remaster of Chrono Cross like FFIX got with its Unity3D Remaster.

the one thing I would change about ff9 is the button mashing minigames like racing Hippaul

I absolutely hope FF9 Remake gets announced this year.

I would love multiple costumes and variants. Voice actors would definitely be appreciated Maybe even new side contents and missions.

What about Final Fantasy 8 remake are there any news on that? I want 8 remake so bad

I so want this to happen, but remain turn-based. I honestly love turn-based RPG’s. Also, I don’t want all of the extra, kind of pointless side quests like the 7 remake has. But would also like for them to expand on the lore, background story, etc. It’s the story that I love.

I think FF7 rebirth is a perfect mixture of real time action and strategy where you can pause it. But I wouldn't mind turn based, I'd still like to play this remake (I have it but only got to the part where you save the princess from a plant boss, as my PS1's laser went borked)

Turn based? *Turns wallet upside down and shakes*

Give us Tactics Remastered!! Also, thankfully someone over there knows what we want - a single release with updated graphics and keeping it turn based!

My guess is they outsource them and then take their source to improve with the in-house development 😂😂😂 actually smart to save some time. Taking off some work load of the main staff

They need to make the remakes multi platform. 9 is my favorite Final Fantasy so I'm down for it, but I do want to see an 8 remake as well

i really hope they make slight changes like adding Beatrix to the party

Semi related since you used dissidia footage but man I wish they would have put more single player in the ps4 one. Vaan was so much fun to play.

The musicccc! I can't wait for this to be revealed but man I wish they did 8, that one needs a remake more than the others and 9 on PC still looks beautiful to this day! Though the fan Remake of 9 also looks incredible, I hope it looks like that in the Remake (it would be great if they actually hired that team!) I can only dream but I want them all with updated graphics remade. Even if they all keep their original combat. I still play the older games and I completely 1-6 pixel remasters when they came out and absolutely loved it still in 2024. Turn based is still totally fine

am I having a Mandela effect or something but I remember seeing something like a trailer of mace windu returning and he having a lightwhip

Is this actual game footage, you are showing?

probably how you thought you could leave your own work to a friend you trust , and then they disappoint you. so you have to do your own work to get it done the way you want

as long as there is no official trailer about it, its all rumors and waste of time

As much as I would love for this to be released sooner than later. I still hope they would surprise us with an FF8 remake :)

What Kuja been up to all these years

FF9 will be 25 next year! That would be a great time to release it! ^_^

I am very surprised this game was developed externally and by cyber connect 2 just like 7 remake but since it’s already moved in house I’m already very excited this remake will be a 1 to 1 remake

Final Fantasy 9 is one of the most special games holding a deep place in my heart, it's so special... hearing the music in this video brings back so many fond memories :"( ♥ I can DEFINITELY see Square-Enix holding off until the next Nintendo console releases to make it one of the big new AAA's to come to the console to help with sales and new customers. FF9 has that slight cartoony aesthetic style to it that would work GREAT for the kind of games that come to Nintendo, so I can see them wanting to add that to their planned console releases. Especially with recent news of the company deciding to branch out their games to multi-platform now it makes perfect sense they would want to do this! I keep hearing the next Nintendo console is going to be quite competent hardware wise, so I don't think the console would limit the vision for the game. Personally I love both the classic nostalgic turn-based and modern action-oriented combat, so either or is good for me, I just wouldn't mind seeing it come out in 2 parts(3 is overkill, FF7 Remake Trilogy project is the only one that this makes sense for given the original 3 discs and the fact that the lore etc. is so extensive they can TOTALLY get away with 3 parts but not other remakes, those should be 1-2 parts max) so they can extend the lore a bit and maybe add things they couldn't to the original due to hardware and memory/storage limitations for sure!

Made it pretty deep into FF IX but never did finish.. The game is huge.. I look at every time you change a disc as another part.. This will def be a must get

Good question turne based or not. Can’t decide

I really liked this game the first time around, it was a cartoony change of direction following 8. I just hope they come to their senses and keep the turn based combat rather than doing the remake thing of leaving it out.

The game should definitely be only one part and turn based , im looking forward to it , i hope it has talking paets for characters cant wait to hear what queenie would sound like

I love the ff9 as game.. i dont want to change it any way. But im pretty sure i will play the remake at some point 😅

I was today years old when i learned we almost got a cyber connect FF7 and im so happy we didn't 🫡

Bro they need to remake final fantasy 8 Wth

look sure square may have outsourced projects but it puts me at ease knowing they’ll scrap the whole thing and do it themselves if it turns out inadequate, even if it means pushing back releases dates. i’m tired of developers just going “eff it just release the damn thing” when it’s either incomplete, subpar or has major developmental issues

I hope they do Final Fantasy 8. Its my favorite and very under rated. I want to play triple triad on a new gen

FF9 is a wonderful game and I can't wait for the remake!! I really hope they keep it turn based. Since it was originally designed to be a love letter to the older FF titles, if they change it from turn based, it will completely destroy what the game was actually intended for. I am not a big fan of the action based changes, but I understand why they make that change. I just hope they keep this game true to it's intent. Long live turn based jrpgs. Great video and thanks for the info.

They released nine for Playstation 1 after Playstation 2 had came out it was the last ps1 Game I ever played. I think that probably really affected the sales because the game itself was the best game since ff6. I almost stopped playing altogether after 8 I tried playing it again recently and even with fast forward and invincibility so I could fly through it I couldn't find much I liked about it and didn't finish. If they would release 9 with those features id go through it multiple times for the story. Final fantasy 10 is the same to me I wanna finish the story but the combat is so slow I dont feel like grinding levels to finish it.

2:18 bc they know they are incompetent, and also the pressure of remaking a beloved classic is very high. Outsourcing allows them to scapegoat another company. But in these cases I guess they saw the product of the outsourcing and said "we're not _that_ incompetent"

SILENCE AND HENCE Thee can taketh all mine riches!!!

I hope it's not a console exclusive. It's my favorite FF because it was the love letter of the original games. It felt the most Final Fantasy out of all the Final Fantasys.

they totally forgot about the 8th title, i want that to be remade too, not just remastered, pffft..

Ff7 rebirth fighting style should be the new battle system for all finals fantasy game turn base should be for thier smaller game or other ip

Considering there's no fanfare about it from Square, I think it's just a standard HD remake like what they did with FFX and FFXII.

Ehhh 9 didn’t need a remake tbh. Maybe remake x and x-2. Maybe 6. And maybe threads of fate.

im all for this, my only concern is that they will make it an action RPG and not a turn based rpg. I just wanted a technical remaster more than i want a remake persay. I dont want a ff7 remake version of ff9, i want ff9 but prettier lol Besides QoL, i think they should make Necron a optional side boss and allow Kuja to be the final boss like he already felt like. im so excited, i have to temper my expectations lol

They should have remaked FF8

I have no problem with turn-based, it's sounding more like a REMASTER than a REMAKE atm. Considering I alreayd have FF9 on my PS4/5, I'll need a little more added before I buy it a fourth time.

Was watching the XIV live letter and Yoshi p said he’s not working on any FF9 remake. He even said to make sure your sources that your getting this ff9 rumors are true first so I’ll wait to see it if it’s true.

😍😍

FF8 remake will happen when I’m FF 80

It's not the most popular but the greatest final fantasy game of all time.

FF6 would have been my next choice but wouldn't turn down a FF9 remake.

First time on your channel. Turn-based era fan right here and I would definitely love FF9 to be remade with the same battle system with some tweaks of course. Now, I like that FF7 remake was action and all because I feel that the story can be better told in that manner. FF7 was my first FF game and it holds a very special place in my heart. FF8 not so much. And when FF9 came out, it rekindled my love for the FF games. Imo, FF9's world is better told with the battle system separate from the storytelling. I mean, it does sound interesting to run around fighting Kuja. But it won't make any difference once he goes into Trance and mops the floor with Ultima whether it's turn-based combat or an action game. And heck... I've been yearning for some good ol' turn-based combat for a long time and been satisfying my hunger with FFWOTV and Octopath Traveller. *FF Record Keeper in your vid made me tear up a bit

If it’s turn based I’ll be so happy.

Why does SQ keep outsourcing their primary titles.....

the recent nvidia leaks that happened years ago eh? lol. good video tho
