Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida has recently addressed the many rumors surrounding a possible Final Fantasy 9 remake. Final Fantasy 9 has been the subject of a lot of rumors in the past few years, with the most prominent one being a remake of the beloved entry. Many of these rumors have been corroborated by various leakers and insiders, though this also makes it difficult to determine what is factual and what is speculation. Some of these rumors have even suggested that the remake was in the works at the studio behind Final Fantasy 14 and 16, Creative Business Unit 3.
Creative Business Unit 3 is the studio that is responsible for maintaining and developing the Final Fantasy 14 MMO. The game occasionally held collaboration events with other games, Final Fantasy 9 being one of them. Before the release of the Dawntrail Expansion for FF14, Yoshida teased that there was a secret reason for the FF9 references in Dawntrail, which naturally led fans to speculate about the remake being in development. However, Yoshida has denied the rumors about it being worked on at Creative Business Unit 3, and addressed them again in a recent interview....
