Memorial project trailer

 

[nial]

If true, State of Play?

 

[N0S]

But is the Xbox version complete

 

[RagnarokIV]

That's definitely the best option for the artstyle. I'm sure it will look beautiful.

Hopefully everything else is the same or very similar such as battle system etc.

I would have preferred VII remake to be like that, but at least I get this one and IX is also one of my favorites.

Also please all text. No anime voices.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Supposedly fixed camera angles, pre-rendered backgrounds and turnbased?

So whilst the art direction and quality of assets may be similar to the memoria project I doubt it's going to be to that scale as that slither was!

I'm envisioning the OG just with ground up assets.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Hopefully Vivi is a they/them

 

[Mownoc]

If true, State of Play?

This is Xbox's big announcement at TGS.

 

[Little Mac]

 

[RagnarokIV]

Hopefully Vivi is a they/them

I'm sure some retard at kotaku or eurogamer will make an article how Vivi's identity struggle was definitely intentionally always a stand in for trans people. Also click to hear to read how Final Fantasy X was my sexual awakening.

Lmao, but would still be 1000 times better than PS4 era scraps or their first-party games.

I’m imagining a game that looks beautiful and is fantastic from a technical/art style/gameplay perspective…… but now the dialog is all fully voiced and every conversation is like 3x as long as it needs to be, with crappy anime voices and awkward pauses at the end of every line.

1000000000%

 

[Skifi28]

Is Square keeping the finished game in their vaults for a rainy day?

 

[Fabieter]

That would be amazing graphic wise. This is the time all those classic final fantasy moaners have to put their money where their mouth is.

 

[clem84]

Memorial project trailer

How similar? Sounds almost too good to be true.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Uh uh.. kyah! N-no way! Tsch! Darn it all!

 

[Draugoth]

Information is from Midori, a madman who changed personalities 4 times in the last year

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Have to imagine this will at least be a PS5 & Switch 2 Day 1 game, with Steam & EGS versions maybe 3-6 months later. Then maybe some Game Pass deal a year or so after all that.

Probably gonna release it in 2025. I think it's good Square-Enix are focusing on more modest updates like 9R, hopefully they look at some of the others and even outside of FF (Racing Lagoon & Brave Fencer Musashi for example).

Information is from Midori, a madman who changed personalities 4 times in the last year

Ah, shit. Welp, never mind the speculation then.

 

[alexross]

I want it now!

 

[Judge Magister]

Hopefully Vivi is a they/them

What about

Wait and see.
I'm not getting excited just yet.

 

[StueyDuck]

I get a feeling this is gonna be ai upresed backgrounds and extremely underwhelming.

I hope to be wrong. While 9 isn't my favorite it's still extremely good

I'd love to 5 get a full 3d remake treatment. Give me them pirates and my boy galuf

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

What about

Wait and see.

It was a running joke how nobody could figure out what gender Quina was. No way they will let that stand in 2024.

Well it's a good thing there's dozens of them to choose from then

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

If true...

 

[Ridicululzz]

Very excited to revisit ff9. That Bahamut and Alexander fight still gives me chills

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

If true, State of Play?

This or an RE1 remake would get my interest.

 

[Sethbacca]

I never did play IX originally so it would be completely new to me. Bring it on.

 

[finalflame]

Whoever announces this wins TGS. If this is the "underwhelming remaster" from Sony...then damn, this is actually whelming as fuck.

 

[Celcius]

This would be awesome if true.
Hopefully the PC version is available date and date with the PS version this time.

 

[ergem]

at last

 

[Little Chicken]

Exciting!

 

[Wandering Leopard]

I need to see more, if it is aesthetically similar to that Memoria project I'll be way less interested.

 

[adamsapple]

But where's the fuggin announcement?

 

[asdasdasdbb]

But where's the fuggin announcement?

When Nintendo announces Switch 2 perhaps?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Hopefully Vivi is a they/them

I mean you tell me how Vivi reproduced...

Not sure how I'll take the remake/remaster tbh.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Just give me that game.

I want a small remake. Not something like FFVII but something that retains the original idea and updates graphics, combat etc. Whatever i'll be doing i'll quit just to play this.

If released this year it's my GOTY automatically.

 

[bbeach123]

Im not sure if its only the chapter 1 or full game (doubt) .

 

[The Lunch Legend]

Nuts will be busted, if true.

 

[Little Chicken]

I need to see more, if it is aesthetically similar to that Memoria project I'll be way less interested.

It seems pretty close to the games actual style though, at least in that area.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

If it looks like Memoria Project, I'll be day 1. This is how you do a remake.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I am sure this will all come out eventually but, was this a fan project or an attempt by a small team to show Square a PoC for what they could do with FF9 in UE5?

Then this was taken in house (purchased or something?!?!) by SquareEnix then within a year they "finished" remaking the whole game?

 

[AngelMuffin]

But is the Xbox version complete

Nope, can’t get it to run on Series S.

 

[nowhat]

Development is complete on FFIX

Considering it was released over 24 years ago... thumbs up, I guess?

 

[Celcius]

They wouldn't just shadow drop something like this right?

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

They wouldn't just shadow drop something like this right?

It's scheduled for 2025 according to the OP's other tweets so no.

Might be announced at TGS though.

Wouldn't be surprised if at Xbox conference and to be released everywhere at the same time.

 

[AJUMP23]

FF9 is one of the greats.

 

[Myths]

No shot any of what he said is going down this way. SE is very particular, and while I admit projects like FF12 Fortress was a long shot aesthetically from FF, the internal correspondence tells much.

 

[cireza]

Nope, can’t get it to run on Series S.

Come on. It's a PS1 game.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

While I do love the Memoria FFIX fan video a lot. I also hope the final product will have more of the Jim Henson element that the original FFIX got. FFIX always got some of that Labyrinth and Dark Crystal element from Jim Henson.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Come on. It's a PS1 game.

Yeah, it should be fine since the game doesn’t have split screen multiplayer.

I actually own a Series S so I can talk shit about it.
