Insider Midori has revealed new details on the Final Fantasy 9 remake, though it’s unlikely to be officially unveiled this summer.
Will we have more Final Fantasy remakes? Aside from the PlayStation-exclusive Final Fantasy VII trilogy, there are some rumors that point to a few parts of the Square Enix JRPG saga we all already know.
All future Square Enix projects will follow the new guidelines. To begin with, They will be multi-platform (Goodbye PlayStation exclusivity) and they will have a longer development time.
The Japanese company wants each title has a higher quality and technical texture, even if they spend more time “in the oven”. We want to avoid cases like Forspoken.
Everything points to it Final Fantasy IX Remake It’s going to be one of those upcoming titles, the exact opposite of the rumored Final Fantasy X remake (according to Midori, the information is false).
Fans of the JRPG franchise may also be excited about Final Fantasy Tactics, although in that case there is hardly any news about it.
As for Final Fantasy IX Remake, Midori’s insider asks players to be patient because It is highly unlikely that the game will be announced this summer.
The return of the PS1 classic
Final Fantasy IX, Squaresoft’s excellent RPG for PS1 and PC, will return in the coming years with a remake. We don’t know if it will retain the “cartoon” aesthetic of the original, or if more realistic graphics will be chosen.
Square Enix didn’t announce it, but a Midori insider (who is usually spot-on) has teased the project several times.
According to new tweets from this Square Enix insider ordered this remake Final Fantasy 9 to an outdoor studiowho has been developing the game for some time.
However, soon after the project was handed over to Square’s internal team. Development is “very advanced”but it still has no launch window, even within the company.
As previously stated, Final Fantasy IX Remake is cross-platform (no exclusivity) and its combat is turn-based.
Will we see him at Summer Game Fest or one of his events this summer? However, Midori believes that this is “unlikely”. Square Enix will be present at Xbox Games Showcase 2024 (June 9).
Regarding other Square Enix developments, such as Dragon Quest III HD, the insider assures that it will include the entire story of the trilogy and that it will be in the Nintendo Direct this month.
Will we hear anything about Kingdom Hearts IV this summer? Midori thinks not, although the saga will be present in the form of two advertisements: on the one hand, a crossover between Fortnite and Kingdom Heartsand, on the other hand, p new details on Missing Link mobile game.
At the moment, the only Final Fantasy project that is officially in development is the third part of the FF7 Remake trilogy, which could come to PS5 in three years. It’s only a matter of time before Rebirth comes to PC, the same will happen with the third game.
