According to Im A Hero Too, a Resetera user who has accurately leaked Final Fantasy news but has since deleted their account on the forum, the next Final Fantasy remake after FF9 is Final Fantasy 10. Apparently, the game will be out in time for Final Fantasy 10's next big anniversary, which would be in 2026. It's entirely unclear at this point the extent of the remake or what else it will entail. If this leak is accurate, fans likely won't get any concrete information for years. [...]

As far as Im A Hero Too's credibility goes, they have accurately leaked Final Fantasy news and JRPG news in general. They leaked the existence of the Persona 3 remake and its planned announcement at the Xbox Showcase on June 11, and they also leaked Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's release date delay to 2024. There's still a chance that their information is inaccurate, though, especially since this supposed Final Fantasy 10 remake is still at least three years from launch.

The last good FF game.

 

[RagnarokIV]

They'll ruin it with that stupid battle style they used for VII remake etc.

 

[feynoob]

Too much remakes.

 

[Ronin_7]

Amazing news

Another FF to play

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

The generation of remakes , why? Because older games were better. Need Sony to cough up those God of war 1&2 remakes.

 

[GHG]

If true this is going too far.

X really doesn't need a remake. It polishes up well on PC at native 4k.

 

[March Climber]

If this is true it makes it even funnier that FF8 was skipped lol.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

IX would've been a much better choice. Hell, VIII would've been a better choice. Tidus is one of the worst protagonists in the franchise.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I feel like X doesn't even need a remake - it looks pretty good. Dated a little sure but..

 

[March Climber]

IX would've been a much better choice.

Who says this isn't still happening? It's Rumor v Rumor at this point.

 

[PrefectAboro]

Wow I just started playing FFX HD remaster. I haven't played it since 2001 on PS2. Man the MUSIC is still so memorable. And the BATTLE system still holds up. So satisfying when you get an overkill.

 

[diffusionx]

So dumb, the FFX remaster is widely available and plays great. This stuff is just out of control at this point.

 

[feynoob]

[Hugare]

X really doesn't need a remake. It polishes up well on PC at native 4k.

If even RE 4 and TLOU received remakes (and were well received by critics and players), the 22 years old FF X is more than a good enough candidate

I would rather have FF VIII remake first, tho (since IX is already being worked on, aparently)

Also, the "HD Remaster" was a terrible job by Virtuos.

 

[March Climber]

For Square Enix, it will have been 25 years.

Nothing stops the remake train.

 

[TheBreezyBB]

I just need FFX with skipable cutscenes.

 

[Comandr]

FFX still holds up. Recently replayed it again. Worst part of the game is the slog of the sphere grid. I love the flexibility but Jesus trying to level everyone up takes forever. Would be worth remaking just to address that.

 

[Fabieter]

If this is true it makes it even funnier that FF8 was skipped lol.

I love every final fantasy but ff VIII is simply the best.

 

[Ansphn]

Good. They should remake all the good/great early Squaresoft games. Give younger people the chance to experience the greatness in 4k/60 with modern controls. Follow the FF7 recipe = success.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Creative bankruptcy.. but the worst is, i'll probably buy it.

However, I don't need every FF to go real time. I can see how they would change this one, it will be real time and you can switch out characters to hit appropriate enemies probably.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

If they remake this shit instead of VIII I will legit be pissed.

I'm cool with them remaking IX since it's PS1-era, but fuck remaking X. They already gave that game more than it deserves with X-2 back then and the recent remaster. The only part of FFX I enjoyed was blitzball.

 

[MagnesD3]

It's easy that's why, less to no need for creativity.

 

[Captain Toad]

The last good FF game.

They release four numbered Final Fantasy games better than X since. About to be five.

XV is the only one worse. And, yes, I'm including X's spiritual successor XIII.

[March Climber]

It's going to look extremely good though, due to how linear the game was. Better than FF 16.

 

[Fabieter]

I never got how people liked ff x but hated xiii so much.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Remakes make so much sense because we've reached the point in which graphics now equal or exceed the FMVs of the PS1 and PS2 generations.

The games we played then can now be played how we imagined them in our heads when we were filling in the gaps of low polygons.

 

[March Climber]

I never got how people liked ff x but hated xiii so much.

If you look past the linearity and look at every other aspect, you'll understand why.

 

[Pejo]

This infuriates me. They'll spare no resource in remaking/remastering/re-releasing the classic turn based Final Fantasy games, but they sure as fuck won't make a brand new high budget turn based Final Fantasy game. I wonder what goes through management's minds over there.

 

[decisions]

FFX is my favorite FF so I would love this. Just hope they keep the turn-based system as it IMO the best turn-based combat ever.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I never got how people liked ff x but hated xiii so much.

X had great characters and a great battle system. Outside of a few cringe moments and voice acting, FFX was a really great game. Blitzball was also a great mini-game.

FFX was also head and shoulders above other games released at the time.

FF13 released the same year Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Batman Arkham Asylum came out. Throw in Killzone 2, Ratchet Crack in Time, and Demon's Souls...

4 of these games are industry defining games...

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

What do they have against 5 and 6?

 

[March Climber]

Maybe

Exactly, the linearity is like the last problem with FFXIII.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

This idea that action rpgs are the answer makes no sense... we've had action rpgs since we've had turn based rpgs...

It's baffling

They're doing this to FF but not Dragon Quest... which shows you a lot in terms of how little Square Enix respects core fans of FF compared to Dragon Quest.

 

[N0S]

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Maybe

You could easily do the entire game in real time looking like that if not better... there is a question about the staggering art direction differences with the FFX FMVs though

So xiii biggest crime is to be released alongside alot of other great games, while x was ahead of its time. Seems fair tho.

I think Square is really poorly managed.

Even their pixel remasters leave a lot to be desired.

They're just a lazy and greedy company who shouldn't at all be rewarded.

Square Enix shouldn't be making games that look worse than Guilty Gear Strive.

They could make absolutely beautiful remakes that maintain the magic of the originals. Especially games that didn't have wide distribution back in the day.

Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics, FFIX, Bahamut Lagoon, Seiken Densetsu 3...

Take one look at the poor job they did with the SD3 remake... just awful.

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

But I thought it was gonna be 9?

 

[Spukc]

Worst fucking 3D main FF title I EVER PLAYED

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

XIII biggest crime was having the most unlikable protag in a Final Fantasy game

 

[Mibu no ookami]

You have to keep up with the competition. FFX was ahead of its time and FF13 was behind the times... That's not a recipe for success.

Look at Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, and Final Fantasy X.

For about 15 years Square Enix was ahead of the rest of the industry and it wasn't even close.

 

[Beechos]

Why not ff6 or the ff 4 i think with cecil!!!

 

[TheAssist]

They'll ruin it with that stupid battle style they used for VII remake etc.

Oh you mean the amazing combat system of remake
Well its all about taste.

 

[Puscifer]

Bro they just remastered it a few years ago lol

Final Fantasy has always been about innovation and change, and Dragon Quest has always been about tradition and fighting the same monsters designed in the same way with the same interface listening to the same music for 30 years straight.

That is a partially snarky response, but genuinely Final Fantasy doesn't get enough credit for how much they change core mechanics, setting, themes, etc between games. That is pretty ballsy for a prestige franchise. Like, looking back it is insane to me that they followed up Final Fantasy VII, the game that was the first exposure for millions to JRPGs in the first place and had a clever but fairly straightforward leveling and materia system, with the fucking junction system and level scaling enemies.

 

[BoxFresh123]

Blitzball exclusive to PlayStation.

 

[Fabieter]

They aint unlikeable but Squal, Tidus, Van and Noctis aint the best proag tho. Wouldn't say lightning is worse like at all.

Oh I agree but x was also in a time were it was easier to make games stand out
