Square Enix's Final Fantasy 9 Remake may have been put on hold - Report

Might return in the future!

Longtime fans and gamers have been waiting for a Final Fantasy 9 Remake, which might take a very long time. According to the latest report from Reset Era, Square Enix made quite significant progress on the project before putting it on hold.

This leaves the remake’s future uncertain. This latest information was shared by Alex Donaldson, Features Editor at VG247 and owner of RPGSite. Let’s check out more details in this article.

Final Fantasy 9 remake was reportedly planned as a single game

Unlike the latest Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, the reports from ResetEra suggest that the XI remake was planned as a single standalone title.

This project was designed as a smaller-scale remake compared to the 7 Remake trilogy. This single game would have told the complete story rather than splitting it into installments.

According to reports, the development of the game progressed to an advanced stage before the project was stalled for unknown reasons.

Could the project return in the future?

For now, the Final Fantasy 9 Remake is no longer in active development. But it may not have been completely discarded.

Square Enix has a very good history of reviving previously cancelled projects. There is a very good chance that the company might revisit the remake project in the future.

Conclusion

Square Enix is also reassessing its long-term strategy for the Final Fantasy franchise. Instead of heavily relying on the old remakes, they want to create new stories.

Recently, the director and producer of the Final Fantasy series may have also hinted at a new Final Fantasy game that might be the next mainline title.
