As someone whose favorite game is FF9, I'd be happy with just some boosted visuals and that's that.

I mean, that's fine. Mana-tier remake with VA and snappier battles will make it GOATed

Who even is this person?

Either way, "not very ambitious" can mean a pretty wide range of things depending on the speaker's point of view.

I hope they do something with FFVIII as well.

The HD remasters are awful aesthetically.

As long as the modest graphical improvements aren't mobile game tier (flat lighting and texture work) then I'm perfectly fine with this.

I've said this a bunch of times but 6-10 should all be remade. We got 7, 9 leaked, hopefully they do the others. I'd rather take something that's mid budget if it can come out in a reasonable time and not have to wait a decade or more.

While a 7R type of project would be a dream, I'm not sure it's realistic. But I think something similar to Dragon Quest XI would be a good fit maybe? Or is that also too ambitious?

Just make it 60fps, tweak the battles a bit (speed em up, fix the trance system), make the card game not mandatory, and make the visuals a bit better I guess. Everything else is perfect as is.

Really hope they don't 'clutter' it up with floating health bars and other UI, FF9 is great because of how clean everything is. I love setting up my turn then holding the 'hide UI' button and watching it all play out

Tbh I'm rather afraid of how the aesthetics of the remake will be, but hopefully its in good hands.

That quote comes off as some sort or downplaying or damage control. It's perfectly normal for a game to release multiplatform. Signing exclusivity deals is the rare thing these days.

7 does need a proper old school remake as well. Maybe use the assets from the Remake trilogy?

Not sure if there's an appetite though.

The PC Mods are fantastic, but I'd like a proper release, also new localization to fix up all the mess from the OG translation.

The original FFVII is not the Remake trilogy. There are fundamentally different games.

Regardless of the authenticity of this 'leaker', I've always said that if FF9 was getting a remake, my ideal would be a Trials of Mana style one.

Regardless of whatever any leakers have to say, I was never expecting a IX remake to be anything close to a VII remake style game.

All it has to be is like, 3D. It doesn't have to be fantastic 3D, just for the love of God stop using pre-rendered backgrounds and stop having battles run at 15 FPS.

isn't this the insider that said that there were no plans for FFXVI on Xbox and days later Yoshi-p said they were planning ports for other consoels

I agree with you but I think that's all we're getting for 7, for better or for worse.

DQXI might be too ambitious. The PS1 FFs have the problem of having pre rendered backgrounds that are so rich in detail, that any attempt to turn them 3D difficult without the right budget would be difficult or underwhelming. So I wonder how are they going to recreate that magic.

FF7 is such a unique case that I doubt any FF would ever get a FF7 style remake. I don't think anybody expected a remake of that caliber.

The Trials remake was fairly ambitious in that it moved a 2d sprite game into the fully 3d space. Taking FF9 from static backgrounds to full 3d would be pretty ambitious in it's own right. I expect the meaning here is that it isn't a 'AAA' type game, and will have a slightly budget feel to it, the way the Trials remake did.

I kind of hope they keep the static backgrounds though. That art is amazing.

That doesn't seem like bad news, I'll be ok if it looks like Evercrisis.
Maybe with better backgrounds tho, sometimes they look a little bland.
FF9 art needs to be displayed in its full glory.

As far as I am aware (very easily could have heard wrong/someone underestimating), it's more Trials of Mana than Rebirth on the scale of remakes.

It never was going to be. Trials of Mana in terms of scope seems to make the most sense.

What I want is for them to nail the art style of the scenery. I think the visuals in that department will be a bit more than Trials in that case.

As long as it looks prettier than the original + Moguri mod, of which I have serious doubts, I'll be happy.

Good. Save the effort and resources for a FF7R type remake for the game that deserves it. FF8.

A Trials of Mana style remake is more than I would expect. I expected something more akin to Ever Crisis, or the Secret of Mana remake.

Never liked FF9 but I'm kind of excited to give it another shot with a remake. I hope it's still turn based at least.

That is okay. FF7 is their parade and they needed to go BIG or go home

Not every project needs that kind of insane levels to it to make it good for me

That's still pretty ambitious, because it's still taking a game that had fixed camera angles and now making it something that has a more dynamic camera/actually 3d enviroments

Make Beatrix fully playable (eventually at some point), and a sped up battle engine and I am down to clown.

Makes sense. The turbo popular golden goose ones were always FFVII and FFX.
