FF14 Collab Does Not A FF9 Remake Make, Says Director
Final Fantasy XIV's director, Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), has addressed speculation linking the recent FFXIV collaboration event with a potential Final Fantasy IX remake. He explicitly denied any connection.
Yoshi-P Quashes FF9 Remake Speculation
Yoshida clarified that the FFXIV collaboration's inclusion of FFIX elements stemmed from the game's overarching concept as a "theme park" for the Final Fantasy franchise. The timing, he stressed, was unrelated to any ongoing FFIX remake project. He confirmed that while the team is comprised of many FFIX fans, the decision to include FFIX elements in the Dawntrail expansion was solely driven by the desire to pay homage to the beloved title.
The sheer scale of FFIX was also cited as a factor. Yoshida acknowledged the game's substantial size, suggesting that waiting for a hypothetical remake would delay the opportunity to celebrate FFIX within FFXIV. This sentiment resonated with fans who appreciated the numerous FFIX references in Dawntrail.
While the interview dispelled immediate hopes for a remake announcement, Yoshida expressed his support for any future team undertaking such a project.
In conclusion, the FFXIV collaboration event, while filled with FFIX nods, is not a harbinger of a remake. Fans eager for an FFIX remake will need to remain patient, finding solace in the existing tributes within FFXIV: Dawntrail for now.
