Final Fantasy 9 Fans Think a Remake Announcement Is Coming

By Marc Deschamps - April 10, 2022 08:06 pm EDT

Last year, a NVIDIA GeForce Now leak revealed a number of potential video games on the way for various platforms, including a remake of Final Fantasy IX. At the time, the company tried to downplay the list, stating that some of the games listed were real, while others were "speculative." However, over the last few months, Square Enix has officially announced multiple games on the list, including Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition. Today, the publisher confirmed another listed game, Kingdom Hearts 4. While these announcements are exciting enough on their own, they've led to a lot of speculation from fans about what game could be announced next!

Final Fantasy IX is one of the most beloved games in the franchise. Originally released on PlayStation back in 2000, the game debuted to widespread critical acclaim. It's unclear whether a remake would follow a similar approach to Final Fantasy VII Remake, but fans are very excited about the possibility, regardless. It remains to be seen whether Square Enix actually has plans to remake the game, but the likelihood seems to increase every time the publisher makes a new announcement!

The hype is real.

The fact there’s even a slight chance that Final Fantasy 9 might get a remake is enough to get me hyped 🤩

A single release would be nice.

So… Does this mean… Final Fantasy 9 remake / remaster? And if so, I’m hoping it’s in one instalment. Not multiple parts pls 😫

NVIDIA's leak looks more and more plausible.

Wow so those Nvidia leaks seem to be legit

I'm not SUPER into Final Fantasy or anything. I like the games I've played quite a bit, but wouldn't consider myself a super-fan. BUT...

If and when Final Fantasy 9 Remake gets announced I will be OVERJOYED.

Fans are pretty passionate about the game!

If Final Fantasy 9 remake ends up being real I swear it BETTER be a 1:1 remake. None of the fanfiction “with hindsight” they pulled with 7R. If it’s not 1:1 I will refuse to acknowledge its existence. Just putting that out there now cuz I know people will ask my thoughts.
