A 'Final Fantasy IX' Remake Announcement Seems Imminent

Back in 2021, Nvidia suffered a hack that resulted in the leak of a list of supposedly video game releases (not to be mistaken for the accompanied by a myriad of story-essential spinoffs for systems nobody owns? Impossible.” Well, as we all know by now, the wildest contents of that list have either materialized already or are in the process of coming to fruition, which makes every fan pretty hopeful because one of the items on that list is fan-favorite Final Fantasy IX.

Outside of Final Fantasy VII Remake hit it so big. Final Fantasy IX was the least successful of the Final Fantasy games originally released for the PS1, but it managed to gain a lot of traction among fans in the 20 years that have come to . Even though Final Fantasy VIII would logically be the next in the remake pipeline, this is actually what makes sense given the company's historical mistreatment of that unfairly maligned title.

We don't envy the job of the Square Enix developers who'll have to endure the screaming of the entire cast while their limbs get stretched from the classic JRPG super-deformed style into something human-looking.
