Would Final Fantasy IX be Worth Remaking? 

👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I’m about to do my first ever play through of this game in preparation for the eventual remake. Great video!

This is my favorite FF game. Im scared a remake wud vastly change the amazing game/story/music it was. Wat a masterpiece 🙌

The game looks really good with moguri mod. In fact I think trying to make it any more realistic might take away from some of its charm

Yes if only to introduce it's beautiful art and narrative to more people.

Could use some adjustments but so much of it is important to the whole and well done I would be a little worried. Ff7r was anazing though so that inspires some confidence

Overworlds are amazing and NEED to return!!! Come on SE!!!

If I'm honest, I don't know if I would want a remake. I think FF7R is lighting in a bottle that already had extended stuff that makes it possible for a multiverse story. Which seems to be what they are going for currently. The best I could hope for is an almost identical game with just some additional polish here and there. Like you said a 50-60 hour game built on top of the 40 hour native game. However... I would love a spinoff. For example, I would love to see a game that has General Beatrix as a character during the wars on the continent before the events of FFIX. Seeing Burmecia, Lindblum, Alexandria, and even the Qu's in a new light on the mist continent. This also has the benefit of not having to introduce the plot dementors into the game like FF7R did to validate the multiverse branch. Heck even just a lower budget FF game that's not a main title but plays a little more like FFX could be cool. Something that has the same storybook tone as FFIX did with an old style fantasy setting. But without the need for it to sell like hotcakes just to have it be successful.

if you want a really good dub, just ask the gang who did the ff9 fandub! They are amazing!!

All I ask of a remake is. More fleshed out story for other characters. Seamless world and a better endgame all we have is Chocobo hot and cold and the card game. Imo I love ff12 battle system but I don’t think it would happen

They should remake 8 instead, I mean they could improve the junction system and address the whole we grew up together thing.

Definitely my favorite out of the series.

The original will always be there. I’m sure if it happens there are things I’d like done differently, but it’s only additive in my view. Even if they drop the ball, it doesn’t change the original

I would love a modern remake of it, but under a couple of conditions. First one, keep it TURN BASED! It's a tribute to the older games that came on the NES and SNES. Hold true to the spirit of the original game. Add voice acting, QoL improvements like auto saves, better pacing in combat, and change trance to where it can be activated at will rather than automatically. Maybe add some abilities or change how others work. I'd love to see a similar art style to the original, but I can't say I'd miss seeing the hippo and fish people disappear. Second: don't make a new story like what they did with FF7R. Keep the original story. If they need to add something small here or there (like some background for Amarant or a proper conculsion to Freya's plot), or fix something that hasn't aged well (Like Zidane grabbing Dagger's butt), but no major changes like what we are getting with the FF7R games. We don't need another FFR that runs parallel to the original like the 7 remake. I love this game, it's one of my favorite games of all time, and I've been playing games for 30+ years. I'd hate to see the game butchered somehow, or drastically changed.

One of the things that FF9 does differently from 7 or 10 is - the DnD party travelling the world. I don't think you can take the narrative of FF9 and how much they travel the world and do away with the design of Overworld-places-combat. how they split the party etc. so I don't want a "modern" game of FF9. I would want a game design AS FF9 but with better assets, better time management etc. like I don't know if I'd like to have a 3d space like in project memoria compared to the originals "screen-based" traversal...

Steiner's voice was always Patrick Warburton in my head.

Yes

Honestly! I would love a Remake of FF9. So Long as the Story additions are more Improvements on certain Story details and Less Rewrites! Like with what Happened to FF7 Remake! It is Freaking Jarring How Strange Final Fantasy 7 Remake is! I mean Ghosts do exist in game…but Literal Story Manipulating Spectres that Completely Upend the Original Story of FF7 for some Meta Narrative Shack Ups is Damn Weird!

I would say it's due for a remaster similar to ff8 but... Just buy 9 on pc and mod it. It'll be better than any remake se will make.

Tsunamods is making a a voice mods for ff9

Steiner sound like Atem from Yu-Gi-Oh!

9 is one of my favorites but I think 6 deserves a remake first

worth is putting a sport bra on princess Garnet dress, censored dagger lovely orange outfit from the lower front, lower rear.

You mean the voice of Chucky from the Rugrats isn't shy enough?

Nice video, some opinions I agree with but I tire of these videos speaking of why/why not.. not a single one mentions the fact that IX is Sakaguchi's swan song, how do you remake somebody swan song, their love story to the franchise that they started? You don't.

not putting a sport bra on princess garnet or (dagger) when she join the party.

No give me ff8, there is much more room for improvement

Go look at Project Memoria, I want a Remake in this style. Utube it.

I disagree with remakes that change the game. FF7R is an action game with a radically different story from FF7. All remakes need to be turn based. FF9’s combat and equipment system is more simplistic than previous entries. Be brave, Square. Remake FF8, no changes, just next gen graphics.

don’t fix what ain’t broke

No it's great the way it is. They need to try making a new great FF game instead

If they going to remake it like FF7R, then its NO for me.

I do not want an FFIX remake made by the current square Enix, it would need to be made by people who respect the legacy of the original game, unlike what has happened with FF7R. To people that like ff7r good for you, it is one of the bottom 5 worst games I’ve ever played especially from a gameplay perspective.

Yes but only if they do away with the weapon/armor/accessory skill/spell learning system.

Considering how they butchered final fantasy 7 remake. No. Just no. Its a fantastic game. They shouldnt ruin it like 7.

for sure, auto buy

Nope

I would love the FF16 team do the remake for FF9 since 16 is pretty much wrapped up

No it would be a waste of time it was fine as is.

Absolutely yes. If poeple don't want a remake then don't play it

9 doesnt need remaster and a remake would be harder than 7. you cannot simply make the characters look more realistic.

nah 8 needs a remake instead
