Final Fantasy is a franchise still held dear by many fans. Its popularity has not waned over the years since it was first introduced in 1987. Arguably Final Fantasy 7 may be regarded by some as the greatest release of this franchise and this popularity led to the recent remake (in parts) which has been well-received and led many fans to call for several other entries to be remade.
There are certainly many of the earlier titles which would no doubt benefit from the remake treatment and for many, the eighth and ninth titles in the franchise hold the same enjoyment as the seventh entry in the series. For years fans have been asking for remakes of these games and every so often various campaigns are asking for this to happen.
Final Fantasy Remakes Along With Others?
There have always been rumors and rumblings about the remakes of these titles and it appears that the latest information posted on Social Media site X may have just added fuel to the fire. The posting links to resetra and the thread therein provides details on various titles which are said to currently be in development.
There’s no doubt for many fans, their eyes will immediately be drawn to the mention of the ‘FFIX remake‘, which is codenamed MOMO. Seeing this noted and potentially in development will no doubt be a huge source of excitement for fans of this title and they will be hoping for official confirmation from developers soon.
Perhaps another title on the list to highlight is that of Turok. The FPS Dinosaur Hunter game which was first released in 1997 is still regarded by many as a classic title and it will be interesting to see what happens with this development along the way.

Let’s be honest here, many regarded Vivi as the greatest character of the ninth game and there’s no doubt that the majority of fans will be buzzing to experience them again. The reaction from fans is mostly one of overwhelming excitement and hope that this is indeed currently in development.
However, some fans are less than impressed with this Final Fantasy remake and would rather see the tenth installment being addressed instead. It only goes to highlight that fans of the franchise have differing opinions on what their favorite title is.
Whilst there is no official confirmation from developers on the titles mentioned by resetera, it will certainly create a certain level of excitement with fans who have passionately called for and campaigned to see a Final Fantasy 9 remake. What remains to be seen is if this is indeed in development, how much longer fans will have to wait until it is released.
