Jeff grub states here that he's heard very recently that Final Fantasy IX Remake is real and happening

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Awesome, loved that game back in the day but it’s probably the FF that’s most in need of a remake. Get rid of that sloooooow boring turn based combat.

 

[feynoob]

On one hand, he is a 50/50, on other hand, it's ff remake.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Im all in!

 

[Trogdor1123]

Does he mention in what style? I’m hoping not ff7 style and more octopath

 

[Badlucktroll]

i wished they would do a FF VIII remake trilogy

 

[GHound]

I don't take anything any of these clowns have to say seriously.

However! The prophecy was written long, long ago in the scrolls of Nvidia during the great gathering of hopes and dreams!

 

[Fuz]

I love IX.
Let's hope that scourge on good game design, nomura, keeps away from this. Let's hope it won't be a total piece of shit like 7r.

 

[FunkMiller]

9 never really hooked me the way 7 and 8 did, so I guess another go around with modern tech might draw me in properly. Something about the return to the pure high fantasy setting put me off.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

im so hyped for this. Although the game felt shorter than most FF games, (felt shorter to me, dont get your panties in a wad), FF9 has been in my top 3 since release. Cant wait.

 

[Puscifer]

Oh God not Jeff Grub

im so hyped for this. Although the game felt shorter than most FF games, (felt shorter to me, dont get your panties in a wad), FF9 has been in my top 3 since release. Cant wait.

It was a love letter to every fan of Final Fantasy so I understand why

 

[saintjules]

I would have thought VIII would have gotten the remake treatment by now.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Ff7 remake is fantastic so I'm hopeful

 

[Nautilus]

People say(Don't know if Grubb though) that it is turn based thankfully.

I don't want a faithful remake of a game I already played, but if that's how FF gets back on track, so be it.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

of course....we live in the era of remakes.
hope it incorporates NFTS and MTXs.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

Gotta include an update to this song, or hell just include it cause its good:

 

[Nautilus]

Nomura is currently the best director from Square. I don't get this hate, especially since that its thanks to Nomura that FF 7 Remake is as faithful to the original as it is(Since it was the other team members who wanted to push the story further into another direction)

 

[Chukhopops]

I love FFIX but I’m gonna wait for confirmation on the time ghosts and gameplay before getting excited.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

FFIX being my favorite game of all time, my initial reaction is:

Spoiler

I'm more intrigued to hear details about the animated series coming from Cyber Group Studios in France

 

[FingerBang]

It should be similar to the Trials of Mana remake, so upgraded visually (fully 3D) but same gameplay/story, except for some QoL improvements.

It's been in development for a while, I'm surprised they haven't shown it yet.

 

[Fuz]

Comedy gold.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Interesting. Just keep it turn based.

 

[Paulistano]

6, 7 and 9 are the best.

Hope they remake 6 with awesome graphics someday.

 

[Mozzarella]

Let them finish VII remake first, gosh what a incompetent studio Square is.

 

[Fuz]

Hope they remake 6 with awesome graphics someday.

I wish, but it's just too big. We'll only get trash like 7r.

That would be an insta buy for me

 

[mortal]

I'm afraid that the remake will do away with the super-deformed character designs by Toshiyuki Itahana, and make everyone more realistic and life-like :/
The SD look made the game feel more like classic FF titles and gave the characters a lot more charm imo. Something closer to the CGI cutscenes of FFIX would be ideal.

Let them finish VII remake first, gosh what a incompetent studio Square is.

Much like FFXVI's parallel development with FFVII Rebirth, it would likely be different teams though.

 

[GymWolf]

Oh god, after they violated the corpse of ff7 now it's ff9 turn to get the third level fanfiction milking treatment uh?

Fuck off square.

 

[Elder Legend]

On one hand, he is a 50/50, on other hand, it's ff remake.

It's a 100/100 on this one. FF9 remake was leaked in the Nvidias Infamous database alongside Kingdom Hearts 4 and Dragon's Dogma 2 months prior to their official announcements. Returnal was on there too I believe.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Oh god, after they violated the corpse of ff7 now it's ff9 turn to get the third level fanfiction milking treatmeant uh?

Fuck off square.

It could be good as long as Tetsuya Nomura has nothing to do with the project.

 

[RoadHazard]

FF7R is the worst game I've attempted (and failed) to play in recent memory, so I'm not very excited about this...

 

[GymWolf]

I just want a fucking 1:1 remake with nextgen graphic, is it too much to ask?

Who cares if the locations remains small and shit, the game is still gonna be resonably big.

 

[Batiman]

Awesome news. I just replayed through it on gamepass last year. I have a habit playing all final fantasy games all the way to end and just dropping them for some reason. Did that with almost everyone and I don’t know why. Did it with 9 on release and it did the same thing again with 9 on gamepass last year until they took it off the service.

Maybe I’ll finally get to finish it. Second best FF for me

 

[TGO]

Very doubtful they would skip FFVIII when it sold twice as many units as FFIX.
And even the Remaster got a physical release.
it's literally the biggest FF after VII followed by X.

 

[gothmog]

I'm okay with it as long as they learn how to put some modern sensibility into their designs. Resident Evil definitely benefitted from making remakes that didn't control like shit.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

FF7R is the worst game I've attempted (and failed) to play in recent memory, so I'm not very excited about this...

Remake basically took a small part of FF VII and stretched it into a full game, crammed it with filler to justify that decision, and then let Tetsuya Nomura take a huge Kingdom Hearts/Advent Children style shit all over it.

Sincerely hope Nomura is too busy with FF7R and KH to ruin this one as well.

 

[Fuz]

[StereoVsn]

1. Where is DQIII 2.5D Remake, dammit?!
2. I would love FFIX to be in same style.

 

[Dis]

I so happy

 

[gothmog]

Come on man, you don't want a Forespoken style remake? "So here I was kidnapping a princess? I guess I do THAT now."

 

[adamsapple]

He also says it will likely not be an FFVII R style remake, but a smaller scale project.

I'm more OK with that personally.

 

[Sorcerer]

Let them finish VII remake first, gosh what a incompetent studio Square is.

Not incompetent in that way. Rather sneaky in this situation. There milking one game and making 3. They even have the nerve to spread out among console generations. I guess part 3 is for PS6.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Wait wait wait, part 3?
Isn't rebirth the end of ff7 remake?

 

[SantaC]

No offense but it is Jeff Grubb...

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

I love IX.
Let's hope that scourge on good game design, nomura, keeps away from this. Let's hope it won't be a total piece of shit like 7r.

Nomura: "what if future zidane goes back in time to past zidane and spoils all the original plot twists during the stage fight in the introduction, and then Zidane and Princess garnet go on an adventure together to change the future, and also zidane wears more belts and steiners armor is made out of belts."

edit: but then they run into their evil alternate dimension twins who chose to be bad guys and who are trying to change the timeline to the REALLY bad one, from the spin off game "final fantasy IX-X re:new chain of forgotten 3.14"

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Let them finish VII remake first, gosh what a incompetent studio Square is.

What an incompetent studio! I've reached this conclusion by believing Jeff fucking Grubb.

 

[Phase]

 

[ergem]

My number 1 game. This game has a lot of impact in my life growing up.

I wouldn’t mind if they flesh out the story. I would prefer an FF7 remake than a Resident Evil 3. 1:1 with current gen graphics is ok too.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Better stay turn-based, or no buy.
