Remake Final Fantasy 9 deserves a thoughtful approach
Heart Final Fantasy 9 It lies in its character land, battles based on turn and theater tone. FF9Zidane, Vivi and Garnet are not just heroes with a tragic past; They embody archetypes from classic imagination, reviveing and sincerity. Any remake that discards this tone for the spectacle would be completely missing. The original ATB system, the design of the city and the thematic stimulation of the game must be respected in a hypothetical remake, although visual elements and offers are modernized.
One of the key fans of the fiber that still debates today is the fate of Vivi at the end FF9And the remake could offer clarity or emotional expansion without undermining the ambiguity that made it so unforgettable.
The Final Fantasy 9 anniversary plans raise questions
With only two weeks to 25. The anniversary was Square Enix unusually quiet. A special anniversary website was launched and the goods are still ongoing, but no games announcements were bound on this occasion. On the other hand Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth He had months of trailers and previews before running. Silence surrounding Final Fantasy 9 He feels intentionally and not in a good way.
However, there is a possibility that Square Enix plans to decline in shadow. This approach has become more common in recent months as Final Fantasy 16 Recently ShadowDD on Xbox and other developers have achieved the success of starting titles with minimal warning. AND Final Fantasy 9 The remake could benefit from this surprising factor, especially if it arrives during a festive living or fan event.
Yet the chance is thinning. The shadow decrease would be exciting, but Square Enix usually supports its main projects with long marketing cycles. If the revelation is not immediate, it is difficult to imagine that this July will arrive a complete remake. Instead, the company can hold it for a later release window, and if so, it risk that you will miss the symbolic resonance of 25.
It is worth noting that Square Enix still has to deliver complete remake or modern version Final Fantasy 6The game is still worshiped. This delay may point to a wider challenge in updating older titles without stealing their basic identity.
Remake Final Fantasy 9 still feels necessary
Although remake does not come this July, it still feels like a necessary step in the future. Current version of gene Final Fantasy 9 It is a slightly improved remaster, but lacks Polish. The characters' models look from a place against a blurry pre -pre -background and several speed improvements and fighting are not far enough.
Other remasters, for example Final Fantasy 10 HDHe aged much better. This makes the current state Final Fantasy 9 All the frustrating. Despite his strong narration and timeless charm, it is difficult to recommend the presentation to new players. The remake would therefore allow the Square Enix to re -introduce the game to the wider audience without jeopardizing its identity.
Unlike Remake Final Fantasy 7It is not a remake that should include alternative timelines, fate or flashy interpretations. Needs careful renewal and remake that retains the tone of the original, updates its visual elements and polishes that systems could finally give Final Fantasy 9 The older treatment she deserves. Although the anniversary passes without fanfare, demand will not disappear.
