With Final Fantasy 9 celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025, it could be that Square Enix finally plans to unveil the long-rumored remake. Following the rampant success of the Final Fantasy 7 remake and its sequel Rebirth, fans of the wider franchise were quick to request that some of the less mainstream, but still popular, titles receive a similar treatment. While many would appreciate a full-scale reimagining of the divisive Final Fantasy 8, the ninth mainline entry is undoubtedly the next most-requested remake.
Square Enix fueled rumors regarding a possible announcement regarding a Final Fantasy 9 remake by launching a website dedicated to celebrating the game's 25th anniversary. At the time of writing, the website simply contains information on the game's merchandise, including new products made for the upcoming event, but there's no word on a new game. This hasn't stopped the community from speculating that a remake project could be unveiled in the coming months given how much effort is going into celebrating the 25th anniversary.
