Final Fantasy IX Remake Reportedly in Full Production, Could Be Revealed in 2024

Rumors surrounding a long-anticipated remake of *Final Fantasy IX* have gained traction once more, with new insider reports suggesting the project is not only real but already in full production. According to noted leaker Midori, known for accurate gaming industry insights in recent years, the remake of the classic 2000 JRPG is “very much alive” and on track for a potential reveal within 2024.

This isn’t the first time whispers of a *Final Fantasy IX* remake have echoed through the gaming world. The title was among several unannounced projects listed in the infamous 2021 NVIDIA GeForce Now database leak—many of which have since been confirmed, including *Kingdom Hearts IV* and a *Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster*. The consistency of accurate reveals from that list lends credibility to *FFIX*’s potential resurrection.

Midori’s latest information corroborates previous hints from YouTuber Jeff Grubb, who also suggested earlier this year that development of the remake was progressing behind closed doors. While Square Enix has yet to officially confirm the project, the increasing pile of evidence points toward a reveal possibly aligned with an upcoming PlayStation Showcase or another major gaming event later this year.

As the fan-favorite title among many long-time *Final Fantasy* players, a remake of *FFIX* has been a top request for years. With its whimsical yet emotionally rich story, vibrant art style, and beloved cast of characters like Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, and Steiner, *FFIX* holds a unique place in the franchise that blends the classic fantasy roots of early entries with modern (for the time) storytelling.

It remains unclear whether the potential remake will mirror the ambitious scale of *Final Fantasy VII Remake*, or take on a more conservative, faithful approach akin to a graphical overhaul with quality-of-life updates. Midori’s wording suggests a full remake is planned, rather than a simple remaster.

Until Square Enix makes it official, fans will need to stay patient—but if the rumors prove true, 2024 may be an exciting year for *Final Fantasy* veterans and newcomers alike ready to return to the enchanted world of Gaia.
