Over the past few months, Square Enix underwent major internal changes. While many staff were cut, Tomoya Asano and his team (responsible forBravely Default,Octopath Travelerand more) seemed to be doing well; Asano was promoted to the role of executive officer within the company.
With that context in mind,Midori, everyone’s favoritePersonaleaker(among other things), had some big news to share recently regarding some projects the company is working on.

Supposedly, Team Asano is currently working on an extended reality (XR) project for the company, with Oculus Quest being one of the target platforms. Whether it’s a brand-new IP or an addition to a pre-established franchise, is left uncertain.
Updates on Future Final Fantasy Remakes Have Leaked
That’s not the biggest news, however. When someone asked regarding the status of any remakes from the company, Midori confirmed that there is; sadly, it’s notFF10.
Which one is it then? To start,rumors were floating around regarding anFF9remakefrom almost a year ago. There wasn’t any major news about it since then, and people were unsure if it was fake, still it the works, or canceled.

Latest Square Enix Announcement Has us Convinced Final Fantasy 16 Xbox Release is Happening
It was long since rumored that otherFinal Fantasyremakes were planned, but people were unsure of which entry in the franchise would be the lucky one; until now, that is.
Some People Don’t Seem That Excited
Of course, fans of theFFIXwere more than happy to hear the news. The same doesn’t go for the hardcodeFFXfans though. One fan only had a single word to say, albeit multiple times.

There were other fans that were actually happy to hear the news, however. Multiple people felt that the 10th entry didn’t need a remake at all, and at most, another remaster would suffice.
This is wonderful news, FF-X is a masterpiece and doesn’t need a remake. Just a slightly better remaster than what Square gave us.

And then, there was one fan that was happy it didn’t get the remake treatment, but their perspective felt very different from the others. Rather, they were happy to see the title “spared” from the company’s hands.

It was projected that the new remake was scheduled for Summer 2024,but plans have changed, supposedly.
There’s no telling when the game could come out, or if it’s even in a state that’s ready for release. Until some more rumors come out, that’s all that’s known for now.
