Summary

Final Fantasy 14 director Yoshi-P thinks it may not be possible to remake Final Fantasy 9 as just one game.
In a recent interview, Yoshi-P claimed that the game's "volume" would make a like-for-like remake difficult without splitting it up into multiple titles.

When it comes to open secrets in the games industry, you don't get much more open than the long rumored 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 9 remake. On top of being leaked by various insiders over the past year, the title 𒊎also appeared in🍎 the Epic Games Store Database leak earlier this year. It's almost definitely happening, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 14's Dawntrail expansion poured fuel on the fire.

Even though Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida (known by fans as Yoshi-P) has claimed that the Final Fantasy 9 references in Dawntrail 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ha♍ve nothing to do with potential remake plans - and that neither he nor h꧙is team are ꦓbehind the rumored title - that hasn't stopped people from probing into what he thinks about the possibility of the popular t🎉itle getting a fresh🃏 coat of paint.

Yoshi-P Thinks It Might Not Be Possible For Final Fantasy 9 Remake To Be One Game

In a recent interview with (), Yoshida was asked which Final Fantasy game he thinks should be the next to receive the remake treatment. After claim🔴ing that he'd personally like to see a remake of Final Fantasy 3 (a truly inspired answe🔜r), he addresses the popular calls for a Final Fantasy 9 remake and says that it may not be as simple as people think.

"Of course, I do know there are requests for Final Fantasy 9 to be made, but when you think about Final Fantasy 9, it’s a 🐭game with huge volume,"ꦺ says Yoshi-P.

"When you think about all of that volume, I wonder if it’s possible to remake that as a single titl🦩e. It’s a difficult one. It is a tough question."

Final Fantasy 9 is a pretty big game, there's no denying that, especially by PS1 standards. However, Yoshi-P does make a valid point in that a lot of the barren overworld would probably be remade into something more complex, similar to what Square Enix did with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. That alone would un𒉰deniably make the game even bigger than the ori🦩ginal.

Then again, there's nothing forcing Square Enix to turn Final Fantasy 9 into a remake project on the same scale as something like Rebirth, and even that game's quasi-open-world 168澳洲幸运🌃5开奖网:🍨didn't really land well with some people.

It's also maybe best for Square Enix to stop funneling money into massive Final Fantasy projects, given how the games rarely meet the publisher's ♛expectations these days.

Like we said from the top, Final Fantasy 9 Remake is almost definitely a title that is in active development at Square Enix, but we'll have to see what the game's scope♑ actually is. If Yoshi-P's beliefs are held by others at the company, then we might have to buckle up for another remake saga.
