Final Fantasy 9 Remake Insider Has Bad News for Fans

Rumors of a remake for *Final Fantasy 9* have been circulating for over four years, but according to industry insider NateTheHate, the project seems to be stalled. He stated that Square Enix has likely paused development, and it’s currently uncertain if they will revisit it in the future.

While recent reports haven’t definitively confirmed that the rumored *Final Fantasy 9* remake is stalled, it’s not necessarily canceled either. The information came with a lot of uncertainty – the source admitted they were only speculating based on a lack of new details. Given this, and the source’s past accuracy being inconsistent, fans can still reasonably hope the remake is still on track and could be announced soon.

The Rumored Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Be Facing a Major Delay

Rumors about a possible remake of *Final Fantasy 9* started in 2021 when it appeared on a leaked list from Nvidia’s GeForce Now, alongside other unreleased games. These rumors have continued ever since, likely because the original game is a favorite among many *Final Fantasy* fans. Given the huge success of the *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* series, a remake of *Final Fantasy 9* could be a smart move for Square Enix.

Rumors about a potential remake of *Final Fantasy 9* intensified when Square Enix created a 25th anniversary website for the game earlier this year. This led many fans to believe a remake was coming, with discussions and excitement – including a Reddit user named CompetitivePatient33 saying they “can’t wait for the remake” – appearing online.

Okay, so I just saw NateTheHate’s latest take, and it’s kinda bumming me out. He’s saying the *Final Fantasy 9* remake might be stalled, which isn’t great news if you’re, like, really hoping for it. Honestly, it’s just a ton of rumors swirling around, and until Square Enix actually says something official, it’s hard to know what’s real. He didn’t say it was cancelled, though – just that it might not be coming when we were all expecting it. Still, it’s a little discouraging!
