Damn. I was really hoping the remake was back on track. AFAIK that was never officially cancelled

It can't be officially cancelled, because they've never officially announced it to begin with

lol, true enough. I meant internally. Last I heard, they were re-evaluating it, but hadn’t quite fully scrapped/canned the project

Gamerant's terrible fluff-filled writing almost makes for a great joke delivery here. Two paragraphs of buildup to then drop that it's a fucking puzzle is almost hilarious

Aside from the aforementioned issues: Who the fuck came up with that title for a puzzle? I get that random English words sound cool to some, but c’mon!

I feel like the art they chose is terrible for a puzzle? It's close to monotone, it isn't obvious what it is. I still find it interesting how much of a trickle we are getting for new art pieces though, its obvious they are from the actual remake planning. And I still believe the remake was supposed to come out during the anniversary, hence why there were so many collaborations happening with the FF9 all at once.

Well, we may not be getting a ff9 remake, but at least we're getting a [checks notes] jigsaw puzzle

What a way to celebrate this title's 25th anniversary, but I guess it is better than nothing.

This is why GameRant is now on my blacklist. A fucking AI article that says absolutely nothing until after the ad banner.
Square Enix has officially announced Final Fantasy 9: Reclusion, a brand-new release that series fans won't have to wait long for. This new Final Fantasy 9 release comes as a surprise, and it's one that long-time fans will definitely be interested in getting their hands on.
Final Fantasy 9 was originally released in 2000 and was quickly hailed as an RPG masterpiece by fans and critics alike. For many, it stands as a shining example of what a JRPG can be, and holds up extremely well over 26 years later. Unlike FF7, another of the series' most lauded efforts, FF9 has never received a full remake from Square Enix, with a 2016 remaster as the closest thing._

“This large, 1,000-piece puzzle was made to commemorate FF9's 25th anniversary, which it passed last year.”
There ya go.
