It's difficult for Square and Sony not to reach an agreement, but at this moment in the generation, it's not necessary for all games to have a contract; right now, there are future-oriented thoughts. FFIX is not a very ambitious project.

Acceptable, not every remake needs to be as ambitious as the FFVII "Remake" trilogy.

If I was Sony I wouldn't pay much for it to be exclusive, Xbox is dead and everyone already expects a PC port anyway. If SE wants to waste their time porting to Xbox or exposing their game to piracy on PC let them.

8 sucks maybe?... well yeah, 8 almost killed FF.
i think 8 started dividing the fanbase, i remember the discourse around that game was very heated with a bunch of people thinking it sucked and ruined ff and the others thinking it was amazing

I like 8 equally as 9...

Theyre both amazing..

I like the characters in 9 more but story is better in 8 particularly on the ending is very bittersweet..

The kids in here who start gaming on ps3 or ps4 will never knew the magic....

I dont believe him here. I really doubt that they would let a mainline FF game not be exclusive or have an exclusivity contract already in play.

whats the point though if its a similar update like we got from Crisis Core Reunion. No one is buying a PS5 for that

The difference is that Crisis Core wasnt a mainline numbered Final Fantasy game

Depends, this might be a simple remaster-level project. Sony didn't block the FF1-6 pixel remasters from going multiplat.

If they redid the rooms to be rendered in real time, with better details... characters, cinematics, etc. but kept the same point of view (or something very similar) I would be extremely pleased.
