Final Fantasy 14 Director Naoki Yoshida Clarifies FF9 Remake Rumors

Yoshida denies involvement in a Final Fantasy 9 remake and addresses concerns over potential changes to the game's battle system.

Naoki Yoshida confirmed he is not working on a Final Fantasy 9 remake during a recent live event.
Speculation arose from mistranslations and Yoshida's comments about unannounced projects during the Dawntrail media tour.
Yoshida emphasized that if a remake were to happen, he would maintain the turn-based combat system.
References to Final Fantasy 9 in the upcoming Dawntrail expansion fueled the rumors.
Square Enix plans to reveal multiple new games soon, but no official announcement has been made about a Final Fantasy 9 remake.
