Final Fantasy 9 Remake has been anticipated by many, the prolific leaker behind these news has apparently confirmed that development for it is “on ice” and that “no new movement” is happening at the headquarters of Square Enix regarding this game. This might be a thing to celebrate for in case you are a fan of the original, you will have to force people to engage with the media as it is meant to be enjoyed. On the other hand if you wanted to play a new version of the game that re-imagines how it would have been, tough luck I guess.

It might as well be dead too if you ask me, maybe the leaks have to do with why this even happened, yet we also know that an animated series is coming, and it will go deeper into the lore of how the Black Mages were created. There’s a ton of contradictory elements in all of this, if they are making such a big push towards media related to Final Fantasy 9, then the only thing that makes sense is that a remake is coming, right? Well, not exactly, remaking a game like Final Fantasy 9 is a tough task.
The Final Fantasy 9 Remake must respect the original at all costs because it carries a weight with it that shouldn’t be underestimated, oftentimes remakes miss the point of the original games and end up replacing them in search results, while also providing a reason for casuals to not engage with the original version. This essentially aids towards the lack of understanding surrounding the game, making it harder for communities to even talk about it due to two different versions being present. What do you think? Do you think the Final Fantasy 9 Remake has been cancelled?
