What is Square Enix up to with its Final Fantasy license? The question really needs to be asked since everything is going in all directions. Fans are screaming on social media hoping for a return to the roots with turn-based combat, even more so after the success of Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and nothing has happened for years. Others are ardently demanding the return of Final Fantasy 13, as evidenced by the fans' reaction following the release of Magic The Gathering collector cards in the colors of the license. It doesn't take anything to get them fired up. And now, while everyone is waiting for a remake of FF9, Square Enix is playing on our nerves, but remains completely silent. Unbearable, you say? Maybe it's intentional.
Square Enix is driving Final Fantasy fans completely crazy
Rumored for far too long now, FF9 Remake has never given any sign of life. In fact, we don't even know if it exists. So far, everyone is clinging to what certain reputable informants say, but we have absolutely nothing official to sink our teeth into. That certainly doesn't stop fans from dreaming about it to the point of fainting at the announcement of Bravely Default Remastered, which everyone mistook for FF9 Remake when the first images of the game appeared. The wait is real and Square Enix knows it very well. So when the latter plays with the nerves of his fans, we start to doubt.
FF9 Remake soon to be announced? It's quite possible
Recently, for no apparent reason, the official X account for the franchise posted a simple sentence on a black background. A quote well-known to fans since it was directly taken from FF9 Remake. As the game's anniversary approaches, things are speeding up again on the official website this time. Square Enix has added the details of several of the game's characters with new illustrations and brief descriptions. As if they were simply preparing the ground for a new game. Again, even if it's trivial, the studio knows full well that it would set the stage for a new game. Should we expect an announcement regarding a new game? The question is worth asking. In any case, fans of the game didn't wait for us to ask it, and reactions are already numerous on social networks. If an announcement of FF9 Remake is to be made, it could well be made around the Summer Game Fest in a few weeks at most. We will already see at that moment whether we should jump for joy or not.
