Wait.. what? Didn't know there's a remake of FFX coming. Hopefully they can make a cohesive and complete story with X. Didn't ever get to play X-2.
 
Played IX again this year, still a timeless masterpiece.

FF X-3 should happen instead of a remake.

But eh whatever, easier to remake these days than make.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
FF9 was entirely forgettable

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
It's the third-best FF ever made, tho.
Really?
Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII & Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy (so far) are all better then IX.... so how can it be 3rd best ever made?
It belongs in that list amongst the best but it's not 3rd by a long shot.

IX will be a low effort Graphics facelift nothing more.
X will probably get more attention.

Final fantasy 8 remake would be the only game that would really benefit from.

Remaking good games is a waste of time and money.

They will come back to those. They cant make new IPs like they use to so they will always come back to remakes.
FF9 art style is probably easier to makethan FF8, FF7, FF6 etc

FF6 needed a remake too
Like others said, FFVIII is the only one they truly needs a full remake.

FFVI, IX, Chrono Trigger and Xenogears could be done in the same 2D-3D style as Star Ocean 2 R or upcoming DQ3 (where the f is this game?!).

IX really mainly needs small tweaks to gameplay for QoL and well done upscale to background textures. Which is kind of already there on PC with mods.

No Tactics love?

Also, FF rank? Ff rank:

VI, VII and Tactics are perfect, everything else has flaws and is just a matter of preferences.


For example: VIII has balance issues, while XIII is too linear, IX is a little boring, XII has Vaan, X has Meg Ryan and so on.

FF8 is probably my favourite FF, along with 9 so Id love to see it happen.

Id still love to see IX done in a Dragons Quest XI kind of art style, it doesnt need a huge budget like FF7 remake etc.

I can somewhat understand FFIX even though I hate that game, but why FFX? The game is fine as is. All that would need upgrading is graphics and some loading screens. Otherwise they have to change the combat system, which isn't the selling point of the game.

Now FFVIII... That's a game that could really use a remaking.

Where the hell is XV in that list?

Anyway, VIII should be remade before IX.

9 was a boring slog. An over reaction to the extreme chances 7 and 8 took, 9 was mind-numbingly safe and uninteresting. Absolutely nothing unique or special about it. As generic as they come. So obviously, gamers love that one.
