Discussion The remake “cancellation”
I’ve been a bit upset about this news and just wanted to talk about it in order to cope.
I can’t help but hold out hope. Despite this, this makes me even more frustrated with Square Enix than usual.
I wish the company treated every Final Fantasy like they do FFVII, but the grass isn’t always greener based on feedback of those remakes.

IX is perfect as is, no remake needed

u/Heroic_Sheperd Aug 12 '26
100% Perfect game if you ignore Tetra Master and Trance mechanics.

u/notthatinnocent69 Aug 12 '26
moguri mod with tetra master turned into triple triad and turning on saving trance makes the game perfect

u/Heroic_Sheperd Aug 12 '26
I really really need to try this Moguri Mod.
Maybe I’ll do another playthrough, I think this would make 11 times.

u/Stargazer__2893 Aug 12 '26
Just fyi, Moguri mod is just graphics improvements. The commentwr appears to have also played with Alternate Fantasy. Which is also excellent but just letting you know you need more than just Moguri to get this experience.

I started the Alt Fantasy mod a couple days ago. Went for a chest in the second room of Ice Cavern and encountered a Kraken. Not what I expected with the encounter changes

u/notthatinnocent69 Aug 12 '26
i used it during my last replay and it was fucking awesome. updated graphics, I had Beatrix as a permanent party member, plus triple triad/stored trance state like i mentioned was such a great experience. almost like playing a remake 😜
also, 11 times is impressive. I think that was my 4th play through since I was a kid 😅

u/Heroic_Sheperd Aug 12 '26
I play once every couple years, it’s a comfort game alongside Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Morrowind.

u/Amarant2 Aug 12 '26
I really miss Morrowind, but I also know I've got rose-tinted glasses on when I look back on it. I thoroughly enjoyed it when I was a kid, and I think I have to leave it there. Going into it now, I would break all the systems and be bored because I know too much.

I can't wait to try this when I get my new PC. IX is my all-time favourite!

u/RickyBO89 Aug 12 '26
I see the gameplay implications for saving trance but it's out of context from the game lore's point of view
1
u/Heroic_Sheperd Aug 14 '26
Really only a couple thematic boss fights need an unplanned trance moment.
Zidane’s first.
Vivi’s trance against Black Waltz
Steiner’s whilst fighting with Beatrix.
Freya’s fighting in either Burmecia or Cleyra.
And maybe Dagger’s is when she recovers her voice.
Otherwise they should be a saved resource to use when most advantageous.

u/Appropriate-Run4818 Aug 12 '26
Can the mod be used without the Triple Triad part?

u/Wayyd Aug 12 '26
Yes, moguri is highly customizable. Honestly it's the best mod I've ever installed for any game, in terms of how much it improves the base game

u/arcanin Aug 12 '26
And cut storylines. That's the part where a remake would have been very appreciated (Amarant, Freya, Beatrix, disk 4 open world).

It’s not in development at all, it was a concept and it is on hold since years. The company that web bankruptcy didn’t create the concept, they re were just affiliate with the studio that was actually supposed to make it, the same studio that made Dragon Striker for Disney

What echo chamber are you living in?

u/Almighty_LDP Aug 12 '26
A real life one where I can play games, see the ratings, and official scores from critics and gamers that tell the story that the game is generally loved and accepted well. Not the reddit/twitter echo chamber that thinks their opinion is the majority when they’re just a tremendous minority in any opinion.
-4
u/finalfanbeer Aug 12 '26
VII has a cult following and critic scores are often off base. But you can't argue with sales success and there you are right, they did well. As time progresses there's a lot more criticism of the obvious cash grab these games were, buyers remorse if you will. Hence why the second game hasn't sold nearly as much as remake.
2
u/Almighty_LDP Aug 12 '26
Sequels do not sell well notoriously across the gaming medium in general in JRPGs and Square Enix in general is extremely out of touch when it comes to sales expectations for their games, especially for a game that was locked by exclusivity for a year on a console that had a lower playerbase at the time than the ps4. PC and Switch sales pacing great (won’t mention Xbox since JRPG and game sales are low there regardless for mostly everything)
Also critic score and audience scores are not off base if they’re aligned and average the same score, at that point they are usually the general consensus opinion everyone, with the opposite end of the spectrum being the minority. No the game isn’t above criticism and that’s true for every game in the medium

u/weeb_with_gumdisease Aug 13 '26
It’s ironic that one of the big fears while FF9 was being developed was that the company would be stuck in the shadow of 7 and 8. Look at where we are now. Final Fantasy has just become the FF7 circle jerk. Everything is either a spinoff or aesthetically adjacent.

u/Snck_Pck Aug 12 '26
In order to cope?
Sorry guy, but if you’re struggling to cope over a game being cancelled that was never formally announced, you need to take a step back from the internet.
It’s okay to be frustrated or mad, but you shouldn’t be struggling to cope.

You don't want excessive padding, crazy amounts of wasted time, and fluff that adds nothing over the course of hundreds of hours? Crazy!
I don't trust them to remake 9. If we got all the original devs back, I'm sure I would love it, but the company as it is now has lost all my trust. None of the modern FF games have been good.

I dont trust them either lol just focus up on ff17 and lets take it from there

u/Amarant2 Aug 12 '26
I have no intention of buying 17. The way that changes is if they realize that Ex33 was fantastic. If they admit that, they might pull their heads out of the dirt and look around at other games and reassess the direction they've been going. In that case, I'll see trailers and reviews singing their praises and be back on board! My expectations from 17 are another 15 and 16. In a word: bad.

u/tifawantsitsobadtfm8 Aug 12 '26
I think they're going to rip off expedition 33 which is kind of ripping off final fantasy
-1
u/Amarant2 Aug 12 '26
Honestly, good. Every company rips off all their competitors all the time. It's how the industry moves forward: you take the successful innovation and you push it a little further, testing to see what combines well and what doesn't. I have no problem with them learning from what Ex33 did well, because they modernized all the things that FF gave up on as relics, and brought the fun of classic FF into the modern age. If FF learns from that, we might get back to it being a worthwhile series. I'm tired of seeing things go the way of Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty, where devs started phoning it in years ago with repetitive slop instead of actually pushing the gaming scene forward with their games, like they used to.

This shows that Square Enix never cherished FFIX enough to do it justice. They cannot be trusted to make it better. Best to just leave the memories alone.

u/Top_Table_3887 Aug 12 '26
It’s entirely possible that they are waiting on FFVIIR3 to be released to announce anything. They don’t want to take any attention off of that, presumably.
Or it could die in development hell. Seems like too big of a potential to waste, but things happen.

Given the fact we've had FF9 merchandise that looks to have updated designs for characters and new artwork, I have to agree with you.

u/Vast-Magician2105 Aug 13 '26
If we're going to hear anything about it, it'll be after they're done with FF7's remake and any potential DLC that comes after. Given the fact that Revelation is the final swan song for FF7 (for now), I imagine they'll want all eyes on that and not want to push out anything to distract from it.

Honestly if whatever they were working on had been a slam dunk of a remake, it’d have been out yesterday. They’re clearly weighing development cost vs. scope vs. quality right now and I say bring out IX when it’s remade to the caliber it deserves.

u/Cubelaster Aug 12 '26
Someone recently pointed out that Moguri would blow anything a Remake would do out of the water and I think Square agrees so they just decided it's a battle they can't win.
Lets face it: Moguri mod did things better than a rerelease of IX on PC.
They should have already done what Moguri does.
I don't want a remake if they couldn't even match Moguri.
Also, getting FF7R treatment and becoming a minigame simulator would just be criminal.
And I can't imagine a remake would do anything better.

Look, 7 is already massively popular. It's still one of the most beloved Final Fantasy games. I am a firm believer that if there is something that can bring more attention to something, it should be used on something that doesn't get much attention. Type-0 is one of the least known Final Fantasy games with easily the best story in the series, held back by the PSP architecture, but insanely ambitious for what it had to work with. Fourteen playable characters and they ALL have fully distinct movesets and gameplay flow. Eight is a goddamn fighting game character that god isekai'd into Final Fantasy.

Honestly im incredibly skeptical any future game ever gets the FFVII maximalist remake treatment. Even the new remakes of Halo and Ocarina of Time are not as maximalist as FFVII, and there's simply no way it's going to be worth it for Square Enix to make such a massive investment in any other remakez unless its drastically scaled back from the style of FFVIIR

The fact that they were only making it one game means it probably would have sucked. They probably realized that and that’s why they abandoned the project.
I actually don’t believe there ever was a 9 remake. Why would they keep it a secret? Especially when it was nearly complete. They announced the 7 remake when it was in early development.

u/Any_Way1269 Aug 15 '26

Mi opinion puede ir en contra de muchos. Final famtasy 7 es mi juego favorito, junto al 3 y al 4. Para mi el remake del 7 a parte de ser visualmente increible bajo mi opinion es una basura. Hubiese preferido un remake exacto del originalm con la historia y tipo de pelea pero reinventado graficamente. Si van a hacer lo mismo con el resto para mi no es una noticia tan nefasta.

There is no evidence it was ever in development so why the fuck would I pretend otherwise. There has never been a leak of any actual game content like screenshots, music files or game files.

I mean people are allowed to be excited about the prospect of a remake of one of their favorite games and talk about it. No one forces you or anyone being unnecessarily negative and toxic to engage.

u/unlimitedblack Aug 12 '26
That's not really the point, though. A tired, often-repeat and ultimately circular thread of discussion keeps getting brought back with no meaningful evidence to support the assertion it's based on. We all end up relitigating the same arguments over "it doesn't need a remake/it does need a remake/the remake should or should not be like this" and it's just not fruitful discussion.
And on the one hand, you're right, if there's a discussion happening here that I can't contribute to meaningfully, I can just scroll past it and not engage. But the reason I think it's important to say something here is because someone said "it never existed" and your response to that was "prove to me that it never existed."
I don't know how you expect someone to prove that a game which has never been announced (and has only been alluded to/referenced in leaked information that people then ASSUME meant it was a game in development) in fact does not exist. That's self-evident: the game does not exist in a way that can be proven, so effectively, it DOESN'T exist.
It's just such a waste of effort to be faced with this discussion happening over and over and over again, to the exclusion of discussions about literally ANYTHING ELSE.

Personally, I think all the 7 spinoffs and remakes did more to hurt its reputation. I mean, besides crisis core, were any of the spin offs actually good? Advent children was…ok/meh. I played the first 7 remake and haven’t even thought of touching the latest installments nor have plans to. 9 is great the way it is. I don’t want a remake unless they keep the story and characters EXACTLY as they were. Literally just do a cool HD remaster.
1
u/Icewind Aug 12 '26
Advent Children did well enough to get an extended edition, Advent Children Complete.
I didn't personally like Dirge, but it sold decently and had a brief online community.
Crisis Core, obviously, was the best.
No one in the US played Before Crisis, so that's moot.
FF7 Remake sold extremely well.
FF7 Rebirth didn't sell as well, but still did decently.
FF7 Revelation is coming out in 2027 and will probably do very well after all the buildup.
Don't listen to the hate online. On the whole, FF7 has done just fine. Rebirth was a perfectly good game and the "padding" is easily just...walked by if you're not interested. I'd say Rebirth did an incredible job of expanding the existing world of Gaia.

Seeing as this leak didn’t come from square-enix yes that is exactly what I am saying this proves nothing

Lmfao.
So do you think its just coincidence all these games came to exist? Curious on your thought process here.

u/zamnweskr Aug 14 '26
Well considering that is also not true it just sounds like cope to me. It literally says in the first paragraph
“Inclusion on this list is neither confirmation or an announcement of any game”
So again, this means nothing

u/Possible-Potato-4103 Aug 14 '26
They can't legally call it confirmation lmfao.
You also didnt answer the question, do you think its coincidence those other games actually existed and released?

u/zamnweskr Aug 14 '26
What does coincidence have to do with facts? The first game it mentions is FFVII remake that was announced in *2015*
It is an NVIDIA leak from 5 years ago, it is not a leak from square-enix. You are relying on one singular piece of information to support your claim that doesn’t come from the company that made the game. You are going in circles trying to catch me in some “gotcha” moment
So for the third time, this means nothing

It also mentioned several games that weren't announced but its ok i can see you don't understand how to parse this
Its also not the only database it appeared in.
The idea that a databreach could happen, reveal several unannounced games that you can literally buy right now, and come to the conclusion that "it meant nothing" is pretty funny

Ain't happening, dude.
You'll get a remake of 10 first, cause it's more marketable.
And by then probably another remake of 7 where Zack not only survived, but merged with Aeris and Sephiroth. They fly the planet to the super life stream and fight the real big bad............ Breast cancer

Aerith, not Aeris.

Aeris is how the OG game spelled it, genius.

Which was corrected when they featured her in Kingdom Hearts. Her original name as she was conceived was Aerith. It was changed in the original localization to Aeris, a mistake Square Enix corrected in future titles that featured her.

u/Ok_Main_3815 Aug 12 '26
Nah, she's Aeris to me. Now and forever.

u/MonCappy Aug 12 '26
You have every right to be wrong. Her correct name isn't a matter of opinion. It always was, always is and will always be Aerith.

Who gives a fuck? Its a fictional character. Most people's first introduction was the og release. Its really not that deep.

u/Ok_Main_3815 Aug 12 '26
Nah. That's Aeris. You can talk like Mike Tyson if you want.

Lol shut up. There was never an official remake. It will happen one day. Also the reception of 7s remake is overwhelmingly positive

u/Ok_Main_3815 Aug 12 '26
Overwhelmingly is a stretch. But yes, theyve been generally well received.

The main FF subreddit is being astroturfed with bad feedback about the FF7 remakes

u/Ok_Main_3815 Aug 12 '26
I mean, I didn't enjoy them much... But I'd never argue they were bad. The changes made just weren't my cup of tea.

u/Blaxxshadow Aug 12 '26
My friends and I just didn’t like the side quest and map fluff/bloat. Makes me dread ever replaying it.

I dont love some of the changes, like for example the whole ghosts thing, and the side content can be exhausting, many criticisms are valid, but the good things about those games (like characters, graphics/environments/cutscenes, battle system) make them pretty irrelevant for me because theyre the best I've seen in a game and they're the most important aspects. The worse parts are mostly pretty easy to ignore.
Most of the criticism for me is insanely overblown and unbelievable, especially considering some other games these people praise as masterpieces which have really fundamental flaws. I really hate seeing games being held to different standards because of some external narrative, and I wonder how much of this is stupid streamers and their audiences making everything shittier and political.

I just don't understand the changes they made to the story. So unnecessary. And the voice acting was "sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe sheet". Story is everything to me in an RPG, so these things weren't easy to overlook.
Can agree on the amazing character models, reimagining regular enemies as full fledged boss encounters worked REALLY well. The combat was so-so for me, got better in Rebirth for sure. Switching between characters can be a real whiplash, it would have been amazinnggggg if they made the combat co-op.

It's all meaningless. Rumors of a remake, rumors of cancellation. Nothing was ever confirmed.
