With Square Enix managing somewhat of a renaissance with the Final Fantasy franchise, there are rumors swelling that there could be a Final Fantasy 9remake in the works. Final Fantasy 7 has been getting all the love through the remake project for a few years now, and although it certainly deserves the love, it does feel like some of that should be spread around. As brilliant as the original FF7 was, it isn't the only great game in the series, with Final Fantasy 9 being an underrated classic sandwiched between the more popular FF8 and FF10.

It is hard to believe that Final Fantasy 9, one of the greatest entries in the series, was released in 2000, especially considering just how ahead of its time it was. However, we are now officially celebrating FF9's 25th anniversary, and Square Enix is pulling out all the stops. Of course, after such a lengthy period of time and with the huge success of the beloved Final Fantasy 7Remake trilogy, fans are now expecting Square to announce a Final Fantasy 9 remake during this period of celebration.

Final Fantasy 9is a game that captures everything great about classic RPGs and, undoubtedly, it’s one of the greatest RPGs ever made. It has everything that makes an RPG stand out, like classic fantasy storytelling, lovable characters, and a charming aesthetic that still holds up today. The game captures the most important elements of earlier Final Fantasy titles while making them feel new and timeless. That’s exactly why the idea of a Final Fantasy 9 remake makes me uneasy.

With Final Fantasy 9celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025, Square Enix may finally unveil the long-rumored remake. Following the rampant success of the Final Fantasy 7 remake and its sequel Rebirth, fans of the wider franchise were quick to request that some of the less mainstream, but still popular, titles receive a similar treatment. While many would appreciate a full-scale reimagining of the divisive Final Fantasy 8, the ninth mainline entry is undoubtedly the next most-requested remake.

The Final Fantasy 9 remake is allegedly still in the works, according to new information revealed by a reliable industry insider. Rumors of an FF9 remake have been circulating for years, but nothing concrete has materialized from Square Enix as of yet. While everyone has their differing opinions as to which Final Fantasy game deserves a remake first, FF9 appears to be a popular choice, owing to its memorable characters, and evocative story. It's even spawned a fan remake project or two - but apparently, Square Enix is still working on its own take.

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy has shown that remakes can be amazing. They're a great way to bring new players to a classic game. However, there's another title that quietly holds a lot of potential for a similar transformation: Final Fantasy 9. While FF7's updates and story expansions are impressive, FF9 has its own unique chance for a modern remake. Its charming style, memorable characters, and engaging story are perfect for a fresh update that honors the original while improving it.

A massive leak may have just confirmed some major news for the originalRed Dead Redemption, the alleged remake of Final Fantasy 9and a host of other unconfirmed titles. Following the massive 2021 Nvidia leak, many developers have begun to more prominently use codenames to refer to in-production projects to make any loose information slightly less meaningful for those who may not be in the know. While the shift away from using official titles in databases before a game is formally announced has made it harder for leakers, that hasn't stopped the community from looking deeper.

The long-awaited remake of Final Fantasy 9could be right around the corner. The existence of an FF9 remake has been rumored for a while: the idea was first floated in 2021, with the double whammy announcement of an FF9 animated series and ing of the original FF9 trailer to Square Enix's official YouTube channel. The title then appeared in that year's GeForce Now leak, which also hinted at remasters of Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Tactics Ogre - all of which have since come to fruition. Earlier this year, FFXIV's director also seemingly referenced an FF9 remake.

Sony has updated the Last Chance to Play section of its PlayStation Plus service, revealing several PS5 and PS4 titles leaving the subscription service, including many Final Fantasy titles. This is not unheard of with subscriptions such as Xbox Game or PlayStation Plus, but this clear-out does seem to be larger than most, with 25 titles being removed.
