Yoshi-P questions whether it’s possible to remake Final Fantasy 9 as a single title

[Author 0]

A potential Final Fantasy 9 remake could span more than one title, Square Enix’s Naoki Yoshida has suggested.

In an interview with Video Games, the Final Fantasy 14 director and Final Fantasy 16 producer was asked which series entry he’d like to remake given the chance.

“Oh man, that’s a super tough question,” he said. “The one that I would like to make myself would be Final Fantasy 3, I think.

“Of course, I do know there are requests for Final Fantasy 9 to be made, but when you think about Final Fantasy 9, it’s a game with huge volume. When you think about all of that volume, I wonder if it’s possible to remake that as a single title. It’s a difficult one. It is a tough question.”

Final Fantasy 9 was originally released in 2000 for the PlayStation. It was directed by Hiroyuki Ito who would later direct Final Fantasy 12.

The game was re-released in 2010 as a PS1 Classic for PS3 and PSP, with Vita support arriving in 2012.

In 2016, the game was released for mobile and PC. It then came to PS4 in 2017, and to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in 2019.

In 2021, a Final Fantasy 9 remake was one of many unannounced titles listed in a GeForce Now database leak.

These included several Square Enix games that would later be officially confirmed such as the PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, a Chrono Cross remaster and Kingdom Hearts 4.

While a Final Fantasy 9 remake has yet to be announced, it’s been claimed by multiple sources that one is in development.

Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy 14’s next big update will kick off a Final Fantasy 11 crossover Alliance Raid series.
