Industry insider Jeff Grubb has addressed some of the recent claims people have been making about the long-rumoredFinal Fantasy 9remake.Final Fantasyfans first caught whiff of a potentialFinal Fantasy 9remake when it was named in the massive Nvidia GeForce leaks. Square Enix has yet to officially announce the game, but since so many other games listed in the leak have turned out to be real, it seems like just a matter of time until the project is announced.Since theFinal Fantasy 9remake leak, various insiders have chimed in on the game and what it may entail. But until Square Enix itself decides to reveal more information, all fans can really do is speculate about what theFinal Fantasy 9remake will bring to the table.RELATED:Final Fantasy 16 Fans Spot Grim FF 9 Easter EggIt seems some fans hungry for more information on theFinal Fantasy 9remake have been spreading inaccurate information about the game. A recent Reddit post claimed that insider Jeff Grubb revealed details about theFinal Fantasy 9remake combat system, saying it would be turn-based like the original game as opposed to something more action-oriented likeFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. However, Grubb didn’t actually say this, and has now taken to Twitter to set the record straight. In his tweet, Grubb reminded fans that the only thing he’s claimed about theFinal Fantasy 9remake is that it’s real.
Since other Square Enix projects named in the big Nvidia leak turned out to be true, it would be more surprising if theFinal Fantasy 9remake wasn’t real at this point. So, the only question is when Square Enix is going to reveal the game. The company just launchedFinal Fantasy 16last month, and the next bigFFgame on the horizon isFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth, scheduled for a 2024 release. Considering this, it would make the most sense forSquare Enix to announce theFinal Fantasy 9remakeat some point afterFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s launch, but it could always happen before then as well.
The same Nvidia leak that revealed theFinal Fantasy 9remake also claimed that Square Enix also has aFinal Fantasy Tacticsremake or remasterin the works. That project hasn’t been given an official announcement yet either, but like theFinal Fantasy 9remake, that should just be a matter of time.
TheFinal Fantasy 9remake is rumored to be in development.
